Where is that from?

It's from Spider-Man's Tangled Web #13.

I love those stories that are just about villains hanging out in bars and talking about how much they hate the heroes.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I loved that one. Came out right around the time of the first movie, as I recall.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ agreed. Just an overall fun story. IT's defenitely something i suggest people read.

Is that what Tangled Web was about? Did it focus on the villains? I've wanted a series like that forever. Some of the bad guys rivalries and friendships with each other make for damn good reading.

I'd say the series mostly was one-shots that focused on characters swept up into Spider-Man's world. I recall Spidey himself would usually only appear for like a panel or two in every issue.

^^ Edit, you responded first. Sorry, lol.

 

[Hobgoblin]

BTW, I've been reading that a lot of people disliked Iron Man 2, saying it had a lousy script. Granted I only saw it once quite a while ago but I enjoyed the movie. Meanwhile, I always thought that the original Spider-Man had a weak script. Its not a bad film but there isnt the sense of danger that it should have had.

What do you guys think? Was Spidey 1 lazily written?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I absoloutely LOVED the first film and still do.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

I like the first film, but I do admit it wasn't written as well as I hoped it did. It jsut seemed kinda cheezy, to be honest, at certain parts. It's like a silly little brother to he more grown-up Spider-Man 2.

Yeah, I agree. The second film is more sophisticated, story wise.

 

[venom892]

Well the thing is they had to set up so many elements in the first one.I liked the way they wrote the Goblin/Spidey relationship.I actually like how all the characters were portrayed except MJ.But she was pretty much written bad the whole trilogy.I thought Willem Dafoe was the real star of the movie.

DAFOOOE!...Sorry, I like watching the Goblin Bloggin' things by Itsjustsomerandomguy. But yeah, Dafoe was amazin' in that movie. And I do udnerstand that they had to establish certain elements into the story, but it could've been done a bit neater. And I jsut didn't care for MJ because she was played by Dunst, and I don't particularly care for Dunst.

Figured I psot some GG pics, since it's so quiet in here.

We have our Gwen Stacy pic

We have our Spidey vs Goblin picture

And the always popular Spidey is F**ked picture

And the added bonus is Osborn with his Goblin face paint

Oh Norman...look how far you've fallen

[Hobgoblin]

Those pics are win, all around. Esp the one with the injured Spidey.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Gotta say, LBP Goblin might be my favorite Goblin ever.

My only problem with that first image is it never happened like that.

That bugged me too. Its not like its one of the most well known moments in comics. Research wouldnt have been that difficult.

Oh well, I'm having a geek over reaction moment.

 

[Chris Wallace]

You're allowed. You don't have as many as some people.

That third picture is still creepily awesome, and I've seen it a ton of times.

Lord, I hope not.

Hardly. IM2 felt like a 3rd act; overloaded and underdeveloped like so many of them are. Enjoyable, but many things interfered with that enjoyment.

 

[C. Pumpkins]

Great Osborn moment.

Cool! I'll keep my eyes peeled for this issue.

Interesting comment about armor being too excessive since Norman later became the Iron Patriot.
