The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Jamie Foxx IS Electro - Part 3

[samsnee]

So how will Spidey defeat him? Drop him in a vat of water?

 

[Spiderdevil]

Huh?

Ah I misread
I though you were asking 'why' everybody thinks so

 

[JOE]

Rubber gloves.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I love the line from Electro..."a world without power, without mercy..." It's like Max is a character we can care about because he's so beaten up by the world and can't seem to catch a break. He becomes Electro and then this character that we had sympathy for turns into a threatening, scary, lethal force. He takes his power and goes evil wanting nothing more than the world to feel his pain, destroying everything and everyone in his path, like he's trying to own the "god-like" persona. I seriously can't wait for this.

Lizard, Electro, Rhino, GG coming eventually. Sinister Six is looking more and more likely. Electro is going to go all General Zod in NYC, which will make for an epic showdown with Spiderman.

His powers also give him superhuman strength somehow, don't they?

nope

 

[terry78]

I saw it in one of the books, where it was some apparent retcon, so I don't know.

 

[SpeterMan3]

I love how Jamie Foxx is playing on the radio right now. And I was just watching his show yesterday. He really does everything, lol.

 

[JOE]

He's Electroooooooo...

 

[Picard Sisko]

Chorus: Electro!

Electro, have you always been alone?

Chorus: Electro!

Electro, have you never loved again?
Love will live on, oh oh oh...
Life must go on, oh oh oh...
For you cannot spend your life regreatting.

Chorus: Electro!

Electro, you must shock another day.

 

[terry78]

I do hope he makes a couple electric based puns only for Spidey to respond with a groan or sarcastic retort.

 

[Piper Maru]

I hope that hertz!

Jamie Foxx said that he wanted to be the polar opposite of Spider-Man, who is all jokes and one-liners, so I doubt we'll many if any electricity puns

 

[Gianakin_]

Everybody wants everybody's villain to be the hero's polar opposite nowadays. We need a Mola Ram type of villain.

 

[Piper Maru]

If that's the case, they need to make sure that the Warlus is the villain for the next movie.

 

[Gianakin_]

Or Sean Penn.

This! It does fit Electro to be über serious, because his character is pretty tragic and serious. But I don't like when people try to make every villain a "dark mirror" or "polar opposite" as if every villain has to reflect Spidey or Peter to be good. I liked the connection with Lizard in ASM and I really like what we know so far about Electro's character. But let's say we'd have Vulture as a villain in a film. It'd feel extremely forced if people are all like "Hey, when you think about it, he's like a dark mirror of Spidey!".

Yes they do.

He does have super strength.

 

[Gianakin_]

Sarcasm smiley.

 

[JOE]

For some strange reason I keep thinking a deer is going to pop up in Piper's avy...

Well, both Peter and Max start out as outcasts. Peter chooses to do the responsible thing and become a hero. Max takes everything personally, and, well, becomes the villain. Though I think getting electric powers sort of fried his brain and he loses his mind.

 

[JOE]

We still don't know if Max actually makes that decision. The chip on his head could play a bigger role than we think. Maybe that's how Spidey defeats him, he finds a way for Max to regain control. Max feels so bad that he turns himself in. When the Sinister 6 assemble, they find a way to get the chip back onto his head.

IDK, I think the chip is just used to control his power. Based on what Foxx has said, Electro does want revenge for what has happened to him.

 

[JOE]

Control his power, and his power controls him. Think about it.
