New pics of Toby with the black suit . . . Does this mimic Superman III?

[ad101867]

Following the link on the homepage, you see Toby changing into the black suit (sort of).

Um, I'm probably a doink for asking this, but . . . what link on what homepage?

Thanks!

I asked that same question & got no response.

i must admit there is a general trend nowadays to open a thread based on a picture of something and not supply the picture.

I've noticed five in the last two weeks....



very strange indeed.

i've been thinking the same thing, especailly since i heard the reports about him recieveing a reward from the city (like how richard prior gave superman the artifical kryptonite as a reward for saving the town) and knowing that the symbiote is gonna make him evil. i wouldn't go so far as to call it a rip-off of superman III and more than i would call the first two rip-offs, more like interesting but subtle tributes to classics (or in this case an example of how to make a good film out of that idea, instead of a mediocre one like superman III)

He's talking about this: http://www.superherohype.com/news/spider-mannews.php?id=4302

The fools who kept saying "the suit in the poster isn't what the black suit will really look like" and "the black costume won't be in the film at all" must feel like idiots now. Of course, most of us knew they were idiots all along.

Dude Batman Begins can't even hold up to Spider-Man's left bootie! (LOL!) Hell- even a GLOVE! Batman Begins was a great re-introduction to the character and Batman mytho, but compared to Spider-Man 1??? Man you better stop smokin' that STUFF! (LOL!)

Batman Begins is 10x's better than these horrible Spider-Man movies.More like the Spider-Man movies cant even hold up a GLOVE to Batman Begins. Right James Bond? You need to look in the mirror when telling somebody they need to stop smoking that stuff.

btw,Great sig James. dont let anybody tell you any differently.

 

[Cinemaman]

Well, in some stuff SPidey 3 looks like Superman 3, but I think Spidey 3 will be much better than Superman 3

Why do you even bother posting on these boards if you hate the SM movies?

Batman Begins was a GREAT GREAT movie, but sorry brah, the box office and DVD sales BEG TO DIFFER with ur opinion. To get technical, BB only made $205,343,774, compared to Sipder-Mans $403,706,375. Sorry, but i dont think that many ppl would have spent money on a "horroble" movie.

BB was excellent movie, but the same I would say about Spidey 2.

 

[Spider-Man™]

Spider-Man 2 was awesome, but i think the third will be my favorite for sure.

If it's not a ripoff than what is it? It would seem to me that the only way anyone would actually admit to something being a ripoff is if the scene was duplicated exactly. As in Richard Pryor hands Spidey some weird kryptonite and he becomes evil. Even then ppl will shout tribute, tribute!

Now THAT would be a f***in' ripoff.

I know it's just coincidence since that happened to Peter in the Ultimate storyline, but I wonder if people will start to wonder that Sam can't come up with any original plot lines.

Enough with comparing Spider-Man to Superman. There's similarities big flipping whup! You can make comparisons in every different comic book movie.

This again??? Lock, delete, ban. This has been said countless times and the threads were locked and warnings were given out.

Ha Ha,I love that old lame and laughable logic that because it made so much more money at the box office and dvd sales that that makes it a better movie. according to YOUR hilarious logic the star wars phantom menace movie is better than empire strikes back since it made so much more money at the box office and dvd sales than empire strikes back did and well made documentary movies that have bombed at theaters before such as The Rookie with Dennis Quaid must be horrible movies while blockbusters like Men In Black and scoobey doo must be masterpieces. I love those lame comebacks that desperately try to justify those movies. why do I post here if I hate the movies? why dont you ask James Bond the same question? He obviously agrees with me.

obviously you never decided to do any thinking.If you had,you would have used some logic and common sense that Batman Begins had two negatives going against it that spider-man did not. 1.There had already been 4 Batman movies made prior to Begins so kids -who are a big factor in the success of comicbook movies,did not have the same excitment to go see Batman Begins at the theaters like they did with Batman 89 since there was already 4 Batman movies made that they could just pop into the VCR anytime they wanted to and see Batman onscreen. 2.Batman Begins unlike batman 89 and the spider-man movies was horribly promoted.Batman 89 and the spider-man movies were brilliantly marketed with year long promotions before they ever came out.That seems to be all you need to do to make a comicbook movie a blockbuster.Get a clever marketing team with great promotional tie ins and you got a hit on your hands.I was worried about Batman Begins not performing so well back then because I was very concerned about the horrible job they were doing promoting it which really didnt start until the film was practically out.Which was stupid because it already had that one negative going against it in that there had already been 4 Batman movies made prior to it.

Superman 3 was on TV here this weekend, and I actually made a point to watch it because of certain comparisons to SM3. S3 is the kind of movie you laugh at because it's so bad. There's good camp and there's bad camp, and S3 is definitely bad camp. That said, there are definite comparisons to what we know about SM3:

-Substance from outer space contaminates him, causing a significant change in his personality.
-His reputation (or whatever goodwill he has) is tarnished because of said changes; he makes a public spectacle of himself and stops caring about helping other people.
-He beds a bimbo blonde (we don't know if Pete'll actually go all the way, but Supes did).
-He looks dark, dirty and greasy, with his costume noticeably darker.
-There is a diamond ring that ends up in a pawn shop.
-There is an award ceremony for the hero (in S3, that's where he gets the odd kryptonite).

If the only way you can defend a movie is with Box Office gain, then you're defending a crappy movie.

Even though I am a Spidey fan I would admit that Batman Begins is brilliantly written, very-light-years-away-more-so than S-M1. Sure, I want a lighthearted Spidey movie, but that lightheartedness should come from Peter Parker's personality, NOT mere camp. Many scenes made the movie lame (Pete-MJ convos, Spidey getting gassed easily by Goblin, leaps of logic, after Ben gets killed no dramatic weight anymore, etc.), which made it clear that it was made for today's typical adolescent (the MTV breed), but of course, it wasn't a total wreck. It's still one of the best superhero movies around...

Now S-M2. Now this movie isn't perfect by all means, but I asked Raimi to give me a moving film about what Spider-Man is all about, and he delivered. The Pete and Aunt May scenes and his psychological conversation with Uncle Ben almost broke me to tears. It's really an exceptional movie, in regards to showing what I love about the character (unfortunately, the witty banter is still lacking). Same as Batman Begins, excellent dialogue and scenes that convey what Buce Wayne is all about...

But I'm really getting worried about these ripping-off rumours. 'Cause if it's true that Raimi is looking to other sources for inspiration in this movie, then he'll be far away from depicting Spidey's uniqueness, will he?

Peter didn't need the owner to screw him to over in order to justify letting the robber go.In the comics he was motivated by hubris and not by some lame act of retribution.

It made the story more powerful, IMHO. It made the bitter pill more difficult to swallow, since as you say many of us would do the same thing and let the robber go, but still it doesn't make it right. What only separates us from Peter is that he paid for his inaction, hubris AND act of retribution. It's a good way to teach today's kids that even if vengeance is a good feeling, it's totally bad nonetheless and maybe someday you'll pay for it. So how did this cheapen the original story/the character of Pete?... It doesn't...

Sam will do it better.
