The Amazing Spider-Man Does a Lizard with no snout bother you? If so, why?

[TX85]

Kinda bothered me at first But I'm over it,No cloths worries me way more than no f'n snout!!

 

[Sloth7d]

It doesn't bother me at all at this stage. It's how it'll look during my actual screening that counts. If I'm not convinced that this isn't the Lizard during the movie soley because of the way this design choice looks in action, then I'll have something to say. But right now, there's nothing about not having a snout or coat that throws me off. I most certainly don't think of Killer Croc when I see him either.

First a sucky spidey suit, and now this...

 

[Godzilla2014]

Agreed.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Although I am still not 100% a fan of the Spidey suit let's remember that seeing something in pictures and even less than that, a piece of conceptual art, isn't enough to fully judge it. That's my opinion at least.
I will be reserving MY judgement for both the suit and the 'look' of the Lizard until I see them on film.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Where's his penis?

 

[Spider-Vader]

I'm mildly bothered by the lack of a scout. Mainly because the Lizard I know has the snout. But I can see that they DID base it off of a comic look, so I'm fine with that. I WANT THE DAMN SCIENTIST OUTFIT THOUGH!

It's an iconic look! & they can't use the "unrealistic" excuse because the idea that a man can turn into a massive lizard man is preeeeetty unrealistic already. Hell, the whole concept of Spider-Man is unrealistic, this isn't Batman or Punisher where you can try & put it into a realistic world like ours. This is a world with a kid with spider powers & a scientist who turns himself into a reptile!

He tucks it.

Most animals wangs aren't hanging out. Go check out a snake, alligator or lizard. Five bucks says you can't tell the gender of the animal.

But he's a man too. Not just an Animal. An animal/man. An ...animal-man.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Perhaps a....manimal?

Also, I'm really loving the Spidey suit now. At first I was like "Ehhhh..." but it's really grown on me. They COULD have taken a completely different route that looks nothing like the classic suit.

Half man....half bear....half pig....

I'm inclined to think that Connors transforms gradually over the course of the movie, a la Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.

It makes more dramatic sense: a gradual transformation would have more tragic impact, since we'd be able to actually see Rhys Ifans do some acting to reflect the psychological transformation, and would continuously raise the stakes.

It makes more scientific sense: a man-lizard is unrealistic either way, but which is more believable, a guy who takes an injection and then turns into a velociraptor overnight, or a guy whose body slowly reacts to structural changes in his DNA, and becomes progressively more reptilian over time?

It makes more fan-placation sense: the more humanoid Ditko-version is iconic, even if you're an iPod-generation whippersnapper who doesn't know who Steve Ditko is and thinks that Spidey's nemesis is Venom, and to a lot of Spider-Man fans, the more humanoid version is the Lizard. To me, it'd be rather like the way Iron Man used the original design as the Mark I suit.

 

[Donut]

It bothers me that he looks like that dude from the Super Mario Brothers movie more then no snout

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

As I said, I really like how he looks (and somewhat resembles Steve Ditko's Lizard). It would look better if he had a lab coat, but as long as he's a threat and works, I'm satisifed.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Doesn't he have the lab coat in the comic-con footage?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

No.

David Cronenberg should've directed this. It would've been amazing. Spectacular.

 

[NinjaCarm]

This would have worked just fine

 

[Spiderman6592]

I think they want him to be able to talk. That thing talking would have come off...awkwardly.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I think the visual of a man who has almost completely lost his manity is more important than the Lizard talking.

In fact I'd prefer he speak in mummers and hisses like he's trying to communicate with Spider-man but can't.

 

[Spiderman6592]

Well have you heard how he talks? lol he doesn't talk like a normal human...not in the slightest...:

We're aware of that, thanks to you and tens of others who have made the connection.

Perhaps a....manimal?

Or an Animan...
