The Amazing Spider-Man spider-man's mask during dialogue

[weezerspider]

if anyone took a picture of spidey and tried to sell it they should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror to see the difference between selflessness and selfishness.

I agree with you, but I'm also not naive. There are way more bad people in this world than good. Just look at all of the war, murder, rape and other crimes committed each day. There are evil messed up people in the world and I'm sorry, but if I would say atleast 35% of those people on the train would be selfish seeing how most people are.

Unfortunately, very true. My Nana,rest her soul,used to say she wished people like The Punisher were real...she was sadistic,lol.

Oh baloney. Some near death experiences are waaaaaaay more traumatic than others. Especially when they're prolonged. Don't even compare a 2 second near death experience where you barely have time to register what just happened, to the terror of spending several minutes on an out of control speeding train.

I can see you like your baloney with CHEESE.

The fact is, having a car tossed at you and seeing what could possibly be your death in a blink of an eye, and being saved a nano-second before it occurs--is traumatic. Or it should be, but the inconsistency of Sam Raimi lives on.

Not quite true. The comics utilize the eyes on the mask to show expressions all the time. The eyes will widen and narrow in accordance with his emotion at the time. However, that's something that can only really be done in cartoons and comics.

Still, the point is, in other mediums, we still do get forms of expressions from him.

However, I think with a talented actor, the mask will be fine. And in situations like the Green Goblin one, it's all right to have the tattered mask situation.

What are you 4 years old? Should we also have wavy lines sprouting from Spider-Man's head when his spider-sense goes off.

Brace yourself like a man!

After having a terrifying near death situation like that, you don't know what you'd be thinking. Snapping Spidey's pic might be the furthest thing from your mind.

Possibly, but I think the idea in the Incredibles highlights it best. The guy who gets saved from committing suicide suing the hero.

There are tons of people like that, odds are, some jerk would have realized he could have made some bank off Spidey, and taken advantage of it.

Actually I am. I have amazing communication skills for my age don't you think?t:

The point was, not seeing Spider-man's emotion isn't really a part of his character. Artists take liberties with the mask, and we also usually get the inner thoughts of Spider-man, which gives us exactly what he's thinking. Since the movies thus far have decided not to go with the inner monologue idea, I can see why people would want to see the eyes to get more of the emotion.

Doesn't mean I agree with it. I think we can do fine without the eyes showing.

Spider-Man's mask isn't suppose to evoke emotion, and it looks damn silly when artists/animators take such liberties in doing so. You put that on film and we'll be continuously easing on down the road of turning this franchise into a really bad joke.

After Spider-Man 3, it's time we leave silly and ridiculously juvenile crap like this on the cutting room floor.

Oh, and no Spider-Mobile, damn you...just in case you were thinking about it!

No, it definitley wouldn't work on screen. The only comic book character I wouldn't mind seeing with a mask that moves with the face would be Batman (if you gave him lenses). That could look interesting, especially if they go with a more fantasy mix in the future (something similar to B:TAS).

And I've never been a big fan of the spider-mobile, not a very attractive vehicle

But overall, I think we just need to get a good actor that can act with the mask on. Also, the possibility of doing internal monologue's could help us get that emotion some are seeking despite having a mask on.

So we agree. You made me curse for nothing. You are a strange fruit!

Everyone who is on the recieving end of that car being chucked at them looks scared crapless.
If you don't understand how a person can have a sudden rush of joy and gratitude directed at the person who just saved them from said accident...well, you really need to get out the house more and meet more human beings, they have all sorts of reactions for all sorts of reasons, some of them actually make sense like that one.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say, without sarcasm or malice, straight up, that I am now digging KAW's style, and regret roughly 50% of the crap I have gave him on the boards. That one is for you kaw my man. Your unwavering tenacity is actually admirable, even if you get some things wrong due to a blindness that can occur due to your unrelenting dislike of the Raimi movies.

"Go Spidey Go!" and the gleeful cheer of laughter and love and peace and joy and caring and sharing and even loving your cousin.

Come on now, you're covering for CHEESE again...at least let me go get some sandwich spread first.

I didn't know we were cousins Kaw.

and as for cheese...you're spreading that word around so much for all types of differing situations, I don't think it's always applicable to the scenes you use it to describe. I mean, sometimes a joyful moment in a movie is just that, it's not corny, unless you are easily embarrassed.
I love that moment in the movie, the strings plucking, 'It's ...a web.' - spidey swings past - joyful gratitude and realisation of what has happened and that now he is going to kick the ass of the guys who caused the accident - 'Go Spidey go!'
Classic superhero moment, if you think that's cheesey and therefore not to your tastes, I'm at a loss at what you generally get out of superhero movies. Unless it's just grim Batman/Punisher/Blade types you're into, but you seem to spend your time on the Spidey boards, who is more of a 'daylight' superhero, hence my bafflement at your problem with the scene.

 

[Norm3]

I want to see the jaw move under the mask.

 

[Immortalfire]

I say it relies on the actor to deliver a good tone, carry emotion in his voice and we'll know what he's feeling

Keep the damn mask on.

 

[Hypestyle]

Spidey's eyes should be moving to express his emotions.. there should also be quick cuts inside like "Iron Man"...

 

[Rodrigo90]

The only thing that was expressive about his mask was when his eyes moved,you saw his emotions...and you obviously cant do that without making it look weird on film.

So to compensate,I'd like the material of the eyes to be see-through,only to a certain extent. Just enough to see the expression in his eyes when focused on. Like a powerful scene where Spider-Man (With mask on) confronts Uncle Ben's killer,and you see the shock in his eyes through the mask when he discovers who it is...

Then showing the pain on his face when he removes the mask.

Funnily enough, that was the only time they showed his eyes through the mask in the story, they put two little black dots in for the eyes in the panel when he recognises Ben's killer.

They do that now and again with Batman as well, the artist will take artistic license and show his eyeball at a certain moment, instead of the blank eyes.

Inside a skin-tight mask would be hard to pull off, methinks. It works for because there's actually some space between the displays, and Tony's face.
