Homecoming The Side-Villains: the Shocker and Thinkerer thread!

[Slick]

Good to have it confirmed that Woodbine is Shocker.

 

[Oscorp]

Why does it say Shocker #2?

 

[Slick]

That's the same thing I was wondering.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Maybe they have test guy who try Shocker suit first?

 

[metaphysician]

So, I had never heard of Woodbine before, and a friend showed me a "best of" video from Fargo s2. Now, I think two things:

1. Holy hell, Woodbine is a good actor.

2. I wonder how they'll actually *use* him. I mean, obviously Shocker should not be anything like Mike Millington. Still, it'd be a shame if he didn't get the chance to work the role, build a character and personality, and do stuff.

( Also, if I were to pick a character for him to play, it wouldn't be the Shocker. It'd be *the Joker*. Wow, is he could at radiating "I am a predator wearing a human suit." )

 

[CaptainWagner]

I just hope we get an accurate depiction of Shocker's suit, in all it's glorious lameness. Because the fact that he knows his suit looks dumb but doesn't give a darn because it's practical says a ton about him as a character.

If only they could bring in Noah Hawley to write the villains. Marvel would be unstoppable

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If there are two suits, I think it would be funny if he did start with the Ultimate look and Spider-Man just laughs it off like, "Are you going skiing? Good grief."

And then later we see him with the more 616 look or some variation.

I'd hate for them to go and do a complete deviation from the classic look which seems to be sort of the case with Vulture.

 

[AvegningSpider]

I would like it if it was like this to be all honest:

 

[PeterBenParker]

Given Vulture's design, I don't have hope for Shocker.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

Shocker's is more easily adaptable than a feather suit

 

[UltimateMarvel]

Shocker's is more easily adaptable than a feather suit

This.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Shocker's is more easily adaptable than a feather suit

Vulture didn't need to have a feathered suit, but he certainly needed to resemble Vulture.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Im still lost on the vulture suit complaints. Like what are people expecting. He looks like an mcu villain who looks pretty damn close to the comic counterpart.

There is Zero resemblance. You could easily tell people that it's a new suit for Sam Fisher in the next SC game and they'd believe it. This looks LESS like the Vulture than the universally hated GG suit looks like comic GG:

Yet this design is getting a pass, people hating on the comic book Vulture all becuz "Marvel, Brah"

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

You got green, you got wings, you even got the fur collar. Looks better than the original

It looks more boring, bland, generic and uninspired compared to the original. But:

 

[UltimateMarvel]

How do you adapt an old man wearing a feather suit without making it look ridiculous? Some comic elements does not work the same in live action. I find it easier to compare him with the Spectacular Spider-Man version but with green instead of red.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Again, was anyone really advocating for feathers? No.

Would've sufficed greatly but keep drinking that MCU kool-aid.

Same way you adapt a red & blue spandex costume with a web grid splayed over top of it. They didn't even have to use feathers, just make something that resembles the classic design that Vulture has had for 50+ years.

And he looks nothing like SSM Vulture either. No resemblance at all.

 

[Homem-Aranha]

He looks far better in the MCU version. Just looking at him I can see a lot of personality going in that suit and I love how original Marvel is(looking at you fur collar).
As for Shocker I'm pretty sure we're getting the 616 suit.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Eh i think vulture looks fine. He looks dangerous and tricky tro fight. He's green and got wings, and hes an old man. Idk what people really wanted.

 

[AvegningSpider]

Because it's not like the MCU has before taken a villain's design and changed most of it

I wonder, if Vulture's wings were smaller and he didn't had the helmet, would there be that much of a complaint?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Probably not. But a helmet for protection, targeting, and coordination makes sense.

We're telling you what we wanted. We wanted something that resembled the comic costume, more than just having wings and a tiny bit of green sprinkled on the pants.

But no "comics castume looks dumb becuz MCU Vulch looks awesume and harcorrreeeee. Stan Lee & Ditko shouldve used Marvel's Vulch!"
