Funny thing about this is it wouldn't apply to the Japanese version where Bison is Vega and Vega is Balrog and Balrog is Bison.

OF COURSE!

amirite?

I still wonder why Capcom changed the names.

Mike Tyson would have tried to sue them? I dunno lol

The piece is called "Ancient Mega Man" So maybe more Greek? I dunno but I agree it does have some Renaissance touches.

I thought it was Silverhawks;

Because M. Bison stands for Mike Bison, and Balrog, as Mike Bison, was intended to be a parody of Mike Tyson, but Mike Tyson threatened to sue so they swapped the names.

Yeah but there was no dog in Silverhawks. lol

Long time no see hawks

And here I always thought it stands for Master
Why was it a three way swipe not just two?

He was just called Mike in Street Fighter 1, then in two they called him M. Bison.

Just to make sure that characters got names that suited them.

I think M. Bison sounds cooler & fits the character more than Vega anyway.

As cool as this suit is, I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to believe that a teenager made it on his own.

It's much more believable than a radioactive spider-bite giving a kid super strength, agility, and no fatal cancer. Or an injection turning a guy into a giant lizard that claws things apart and changes back with no memories the next morning. I don't see how him making the suit could possibly be a problem.

Because it's not apart of the basic conceit of the story. The basic conceit is that there's something special about this combination of spider and science that gives this kid powers. That doesn't go to explain how he could afford to make a costume like that. It's all about internal consistency. If you apply the above logic that makes it acceptable for a movie to not make any sense at all and just be a confusing mesh of contrivences and deus ex machina. Which is fine if you're going for a surrealist thing but not fine for a sohesive narrative.

Can we get back to posting the most raddest awesomely awesome pictures?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I do not care where the suit comes from. I'm pretty that wasn't a problem with Raimi's trilogy, and sure, some people probably did raise that concern, but me, along with 98% of the people who saw the movie, didn't care.

Do you know how much it costs to make a superhero costume?
