I think Stan said something about the green skin, Gray was too dark or something

Stan said the colour Gray didn't print very well, it was not consistent with what they illustrated colourwise, so they changed the Hulk's colour to Green.

That's funny because, even with the hyphen, both characters share a lot of similar characteristics. I don't see the hyphen making much difference.

Exactly. It was that random. There's no meaning/reason/logic behind the green.

You know, I've always smiled at alot of the similarities between Supes and Spidey. Ironically both of them are probably in my top 5 superheroes. Both have a job at a major Newspaper company, both were raised by "foster" parents who taught them much good, both arch villains are simply rich billionaires. (Norman Osborn and Lex Luthor) I love the similarities!

Except Spidey isn't the leader of a superhero team but oh well. They both have so much in common.

[SpaceWay2009]

^I feel the same way!

Gives me the desire to read Superman again
Don't remember why I stopped

Movie 1 has a burning building scene, no smoke
Movie 2 has a burning building scene, again no smoke
I'm glad the third movie didn't have that scene
Why is there no smoke?

[The Joker]

The third movie had MJ getting kidnapped again. Far more redundant than a burning building. Especially since by now nobody like the Cops or the media were suspicious that every time a super villain pops up MJ ends up getting kidnapped by them.

The newscaster should have said "The hostage is Mary Jane Watson, the same girl who has been kidnapped by the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus in the past". Not a line about her failed Broadway career.

[Rodrigo90]

So true and very funny!

Anyway, I've right this minute got my headphones in, listening to Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head...thanks Spider-Man 2!

I don't think they knew that the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus kidnapped her.

How could they not? Her kidnappings were huge public events. The bridge incident with Goblin would have been a huge media storm, and MJ was seen being held hostage and rescued by dozens of people, including the people on the bridge, the tram, and on the boat that rescued them. She'd have been interviewed by the Cops at the very least about her ordeal.

Second we know the Police and the media knew she was abducted by Ock.

Robbie: "Still no word on the whereabouts of your son's fiancee"

A brigade of Cops showed up at the end after Spidey lowered MJ down to John.

[A Necessary Evil]

I think there was a reference...or something in the script or novel. I'm not exactly sure what, but I do recall there being something talking about it. They probably just cut the dialogue out of the movie.

So true! I always thought about this. Rather than making a mention of a lesser-known Broadway star, she's been kidnapped by her third villain and they don't mention that? So silly.

Then the media in New York suck at their job seeing as how people should've been questioned at the bridge during Green Goblin's attack and the name Mary Jane Watson should have been used as well as cops arriving at the scene of that warehouse where Mary Jane was at.

Hadn't thought of that. And I forgot about that Daily Bugle scene.

Spider-Aziz has weird ass opinions all over the place

[Spider-Aziz]

Snape, is that avatar of yours a clip from the new CGI cartoon?

[A Necessary Evil]

No, it's from a video on youtube

Since you mentioned that, it kind of makes the writing seem...a little lazy, I guess - for lack of a better word. I mean, MJ was kidnapped in all three movies. It's funny to think the police wouldn't even know who was kidnapped, and same thing for the media. lol

You mean the movie about a fictional spider-bitten superhero? Gah! Where's the realism when you need it?
