The Amazing Spider-Man Lizard's New Look: Verdict?--POLL

What did you think of his appearance?

  • PERFECT! It's the character come to life!

  • THAT'S the Lizard?! Mini-godzilla without the coat?

  • Can't tell yet. He wasn't in the trailer enough.

  • Where's Venom?!

  • It seems ok.

its just dawned on me where i had seen the lizard before most have already made this connection

Sorry guys I believe this is what were getting, they wouldnt show a trailer with a good glimpse of the look of the villain and then go and majorly change it. I think its something we all need to accept at this point, Lizard will not have a longer alligator like snout.

look at the shot of Venom from the first trailer to the final version....CHANGED COMPLETELY.

Except this time we've seen actually 20392198737381382 things where the Lizard looks basically the same and people still have some crazy hope that the Lizard will turn into raptor head-Lizard at one point in the movie. :dry:

It's. Not. Happening.
 
I have to admit its the one thing about this film I'm not convinced abut the look of the lizard. Kinda reminds me f one if those aliens from the super mario movie.

I'm glad I never saw this Super Mario movie that people keep complaining about. Because I think the Lizard design is fine and good, and I don't have to constantly harp and complain about a zooma or goomba or whatever.

Ignorance is bliss.
 
Well, I think he could have looked better if they gave him some clothes and gave him five fingers. However, it still can work. The battle scenes between him and Spidey look awesome.

Agreed.

The thing about his face that makes it looks weird is that everything else on him looks fully transformed and lizard-ish, so his rather human face makes too much of a contrast

Agreed.

I'm glad we didn't get raptor head Lizard.

Me too.

Agreed. Having a Lizard that looked like a raptor would have not only made connors transformation into that less believable, it would have defeated the purpose of calling him Lizard.

I think the Lizard in this is perfect. His face reminds me alot of Macfarlane Lizard just that the brow and snout is slightly less pronounced.

I completely agree!

He looks like Killer Crock from The Batman

:D

Please don't remind me of that crappy cartoon.

The Lizard looks like The Lizard from the Comics.

Stop complaing because he doesn't look like a raptor or an alligator. THOSE AREN'T LIZARDS!

I completely agree!

Not to get deep into it, but if you ignore screentime or personality and just consider the visual appearance of Venom....I thought he looked pretty awesome. He reminded me of the original McFarlen Venom who was only slightly bigger than Spidey. But he had the fangs, the tongue, the eyes, the white spider emblem, and I personally liked the raised webbing inclusion as it fit well with the aesthetic of Raimi's films.

To me, this Lizard would be like if they did a Venom without fangs, but normal teeth, a nose and instead of a white spider, he was a complete black ninja looking character. That's a bastardization and that's kind of what they did to Lizard, in my opinion.

I liked the Spider-Man 3 Venom, for the most part. The symbol should have been white, not grey or black (it was nigh-invisible a lot of the time), the raised webbing sucked, and the claws should have been black.

Also, in his first appearance, Venom did have normal teeth, and Todd McFarlane drew him much bigger than Spider-Man.

Not the McFarlane version I remember.

He even came off too fatty-bulky at times.

Yep.

I think his face should look more like this.

The face he has in the movie reminds me of Goombas from Super Mario movie.

That could work, though I don't see much of a difference between that and what we got.

I was thinking his first appearance:

He's bigger, but he isn't hulking over him like some fans expect from the character. Another way to put it is if you showed me a picture of SM3's Venom out-of-context from the movie (if I'd never seen it), I'd go "Venom." Same with Doc Ock or Sandman. If you showed me this Lizard, I wouldn't know it was supposed to be the iconic character from the comics.

Agreed.
 
It seems like everyone wants this:

Here's the thing though: Thats an alligator/T-Rex hybrid head. Not a Lizard. Case closed.
 
I completely agree. That would have been generic and uncreative.

Exactly. Plus the Lizard has always had an humanoid or humanoid esque head.

The gator snout type Lizard appeared a few times and it didn't look great.

The Todd McFarlane Lizard look is arguably the most popular/known and we've essentially got a modified version of that look for TASM.

Why complain?

Agreed. I'll take this over the "Velociraptor in a coat" some people seem to want any day.

The TAS Lizard (the face, at least) doesn't look like that at all. If anything, it's a modified version of the Ditko/Romita designs.
 
****ing iPad :o.

Well, just Google "Todd McFarland Lizard". The movie Lizard doesn't looks anything like his design. McFarland's Lizard has a thick brow, eyes widely set apart, a snout, and a flat head.

He doesn't look that good...
He basically looks like the villain from The Incredible Hulk.
 
I still have no idea how people think this...

Looks like this...

Am I missing something?

A goomba is a reptilian thing with a TINY head, TINY eyes, TINY fangs, and forever SMILING. How is that anything like the Lizard? I'm just sorta lost on that logic other than people seriously pulling at straws to try to find something negative to say about it. Saying you don't like it is one thing - but a goomba? Really? How???

It's getting there, but the mouth portion looks weird - like it needs more reptilian scales (is that the right word?) or something.
