The Amazing Spider-Man Spider sense tingeling

[thebatsam]

I liked how the Spider-sense was done in the first 2 Spider-man films, I don't remember Spider-sense being in the 3rd one AT ALL.
I think as long as it is cinematic enough, like we go into Parker's head and for a brief moment his world slows down in a stylised fashion, so we can see how he is looking for the danger and alerting the audience that somewhere pretty soon ****'s about to hit the fan.

That would be perfect in my book

You don't really need any visual graphics or whatever, just something similar to the slo-mo so we can experience it how he does. I know in Shattered Dimensions everything goes black and white and kind of distorted with his vision. I would do that, sans the black and white. Just have it be one of those things that starts off feeling uncomfortable for him, but ends up being second nature.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Slow motion is always being used to indicate quickened reflexes.

How about something different for the spidey sense since it's pre-cog.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Yeah, slow-motion makes no sense for spider-sense, since it's not what he actually experiences. I'm fine with a slow-mo scene here and there for, say, when he's actually dodging something, to show what a close call it was, but nothing like in the first movie, where his actual perception of time slows.

I don't really mind the "Matrix" style slo-mo, but I would add a level to it, to totally distinguish it from reality; by combining the "Matrix" style slo-mo, with the way LOTR did it when Frodo duns the ring; but, in slightly less black & white as "Sin City".

 

[Troy_Parker]

There really isn't a good enough way to show his Spider-Sense without using slow-mo...

I wouldn't mind everything around him slowing down, and he's the only one in real time.

So yeah, basically what they did in the Raimi movies.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

There are plenty of ways to show the spidey sense other than slo-mo.

You can have Spider-man's eyes glow then show a short quickly edited preview of an attack. You can let the background become distorted and then show Spider-man change his position to a fighting stance. You can have heat waves emit from Spider-man's head with a special sound effect. You can show a black and white preview of Spidey's threat after an extreme close up of Spiderman's eyes. You can have an animated or rotoscoped preview of Spidey's threat.

Like I said plenty of alternatives to slo-mo, which isn't even a good representation of what the spidey sense does. The spidey sense is pre-cog and the sfx should inicate that somehow.

 

[Venom'sDad]

After carefully thinking about the subject, I now think they should do a very quick "Zoom In" to the threat, still make it look like LOTR when Frodo duns the ring. A much quicker zoom in than what Raimi did.

Consider how awesome the visuals would be, especially if he had multiple threat occurring simultaneously... you would feel the rush that Spidey actually feel sensing threats quickly zooming in from multiple directions.

Again, Spider-Man's spider sense does NOT show him what the threat is, it simply tells him there's an incoming threat which causes him to look around and be ready for something. That's why sometimes, even when his spider sense has gone off, he still doesn't react accordingly to it, and sometimes gets caught with an incoming blow, etc...

 

[TheSlag]

I love the perception of time slowing down (in SM1), and the look forward (still kind of perception of time slowing down) (in SM2).

The Spider Sense is one of the things that I think Raimi was spot on with (in SM1 and SM2... since it was NOT even used in SM3 that I remember).

One thing for certain, you do not want to overuse it. And again, I think Raimi had the right mix in SM1 and SM2.

Exactly! IF it allowed him to not EVER get caught, where would the drama come from?

...except, no, he wasn't. That's not what the spider-sense is. Besides, these movies shouldn't be reusing anything from the Raimi trilogy, especially the inaccuracies.

Please educate me on what Spider Sense is then. And if your going to say precognotive... don't bother.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

So, if I'm going to tell you the truth, don't bother? I guess ignorance is bliss.

Okay, I'll explain without using... that word.

Peter's spider-sense manifests itself as a tingling sensation, and a non-specific feeling of imminent danger. It doesn't affect his perception of time, or in fact, anything else. It also gives him no information on the threat itself, other than a vague sense of its direction, and to an extent, the severity of the danger.

There you go.

 

[TheSlag]

I suppose you would know if "ignorance is bliss".

And how else would you "prefer" that they show the Spider Sense then. I think, and several others do too, that the slowing of perception and time itself is a good way to "show" the Spider Sense.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

If I'm wrong, prove it.

 

[TheSlag]

You ignored the question I guess.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Just thought I'd address your allegation of my ignorance first, but I guess you were just trying to be clever.

If you'd read my other posts, you'd see that I already said how I'd prefer it be shown.

 

[TheSlag]

Hmmm.. and here I "thought" you were trying to be clever by starting it by saying "ignorance is bliss". Go figure.

And I read one of your posts where you said the slow motion was ok to show how close things were But that would simply show his agility, not his spider sense.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Hmmm.. and here I "thought" you were trying to be clever by starting it by saying "ignorance is bliss". Go figure.

I actually had reason for that, though, since you seemed unwilling to accept any argument that wasn't on your own terms. You set yourself up for that.

As for the slow-mo post, yeah, it should be used, if at all, so show him dodging things. It shouldn't show his spider-sense at all, since, again, that isn't how it works.

Maybe you should read the post I was actually referring to.

Yes, I think the Precog Spider Sense is ridiculous, since a Spider does NOT have precog abilities to sense danger, so I think it is silly to say that Spider-Man got those abilities. I prefer the approach on enhanced senses.

But I was more concerned with how they show the spider sense. I think the way Raimi did it was excellent, as opposed to glowing eyes, or heat waves, or whatever.

If someone can suggest a better way than Raimi, I am all for it, but I think Raimi's take on that was excellent.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But the slow motion for the spider sense was NOT showing Peter/Spider-Man in slow motion.. like it would for agility (like when he was dodging the razor bats in SM1).

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Slo-motion shows quick reflexes which is a seperate ability from a spider-sense which is pre-cog whether you like it or not.

Spider-man's spider-sense would warn him of a hidden bomb. Quicker reflexes wouldn't warn of a hidden bomb.

I like Spider-man having pre-cog, mech webshooters, and spider-like powers. I makes him a far more interesting super-hero ability-wise.

 

[TheSlag]

And slow motion of the threat or area of the threat can show precog(Spider Sense).. whether YOU like it or not.

^Totally agree. That's why I'd prefer a ringing sound and an expression from Spidey himself that shows he has a strong feeling that something's wrong
