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

[Godzilla2014]

He can be both tragic and huge, as he will be.

To me, having the Lizard become huge when he transforms would be cliché. Why does it seem almost every transforming character in comic book movies grows huge in the process?

 

[VenomSpawn]

Will he kill? Will The Lizard kill people and if so, how?

I think RIM said that in the Comic-Con footage The Lizard ate those two girls in the bathroom.

Will he kill? Will The Lizard kill people and if so, how?

I think he should.
At first his kills are strategic and then they grow more animalistic.

If you want Spider-Man to be a big underdog against a huge, monstrous villain, use Venom. The Lizard is a tragic villain, and I don't think he needs big muscles to be menacing. Making the Lizard huge and monstrous doesn't really add to the character.

But it doesn't take away from the character and ups the ante in terms of the physicality and how the fights will go.
We have yet to see Spidey fight a larger, hulking foe (and I don't count the giant sand monster from the third, that was ridiculous) so it will be somewhat new and interesting to see Spidey, a nimble, agile hero, pitted against a large monstrous brute.

YES. That's what I like to hear.

To me, making the Lizard huge would be unnecessarily cliché. I prefer the incarnations of the Lizard which he retains Connors' physique, like the Ditko and McFarlane versions.
Venom, Rhino, et cetera are the larger, hulking foes, and that should be left to them.

 

[spideyguy16]

I agree with zilla but I also want a huge lizard.

What do you agree with me on?

 

[spideyguy16]

What do you agree with me on?

I agree that they should.leave big hulking characters to venom so it won't seem like we've seen it before.
But then again, Venom fights VERY differently than then Lizard.

What exactly about a hero fighting a villain that's larger than him is 'cliche'? Hasn't a hero fighting a villain who is the same size as him been done just as much?

 

[Spiderman6592]

Bane=Batman's size, Joker=Smaller than Batman, Scarecrow=Smaller than Batman, Green Goblin=Same size as Spider-Man, Doc Ock=Same size as Spider-Man, Venom=Slightly bigger than Spider-Man, Bullseye=Same size as Daredevil, Lex Luthor=Smaller than Superman, Red Skull=Same size as Captain America, Loki=Smaller than Thor...


Please remind me when we have had a much larger villain in CBMs again?

It's clichéd in the sense that most of the transforming characters in comic book movies I can think of become huge in the process. I don't want to make the Lizard a part of that cliche because that's not what he traditionally is.

Save the "David vs Goliath" match-up for Rhino or Venom.

 

[Spiderman6592]

But...we haven't seen that "cliche" adapted to film...if it was so cliche, wouldn't it have been used already...?

I never said that "hero vs. much bigger villain" was cliché for comic book movies. I said that "transforming character who becomes huge in said transformation" was.

Haha...I want this confirmed.

I don't want to see a skinny man-size Lizard on film. This is one cliché that I'm glad is going to happen.

lolwat. When was the last time there was a transforming character that became huge? Besides, he's not turning into Godzilla, he's turning into a 9 ft beast. Big sure, but you're acting like he's some huge monster the size of a building. He's only going to be 3 feet taller than Peter, but he'll still end up bigger than the concept art portrays.

No, Im not acting like he's becoming the size of a building. By "huge", I was referring to his musculature. I don't see the point of making the Lizard into something he's not.

 

[Spiderman6592]

Besides the Ditko version, the Lizard has always been portrayed as extraordinarily muscular. If we have the Ditko face/head and McFarlane, etc. body, we get the best of both worlds.

No, he isn't. McFarlane's Lizard wasn't much more muscular than Curt Connors.

And from what I've seen, hulking Lizards seem to be the exception, not the rule.

 

[TheSlag]

I'm betting this is what is - concept art.

The fuzzy leaked footage shows another version so hopefully that's closer to Lizard's standard look.

Agreed.

 

[SpeterMan3]

I always imagined him looking something like this:

The IDEAL.

 

[SpeterMan3]

I am a little bothered by the snoutlessness, though. It's not just that, but he looks a little too human in that concept art, in an awkward way. I hope and think that it's an early stage of transformation, which hopefully is accompanied by a mental loss of humanity.

[Troy_Parker]

Why are people calling it concept art... as though it's subject to drastic change?

It's promo art.

It's a VERY strong indicator of what we're going to be seeing. And I'm betting a side view will reveal that he has a bit of a snout.
