The Thomas Haden Church/Sandman Thread

[Qwerty©]

As for The Sandman I'm starting now fearing the exact same, a not so bad character and a family one .

Sure he was kinda one dimensionnal in the comics (unlike Octopus) but he was fun and exciting to look at .

So I'm praying he won't get the Octopus treatment here and will end up being a A MAJOR VILLAIN from A to Z who vows to kill Spider-Man and making his life a living hell at ALL COSTS

Well you're going to be disappointed. We pretty much know Sandman isn't going to be evil at all.

 

[StylishHokie21]

I like the armored truck scene. I can't wait to see the whole thing.

 

[Mr Jide]

Wow! I remember when most of you were all bashing sandman, saying how he's a crappy villain and that he'll just have "the mummy" effects. That new beat you're all marching to must be quite funky ey?

 

[The Joker]

While Molina played Doc Ock perfectly, he was still portrayed like a second field player to Harry Osborn (his lackey to me)

Yes, all lackeys dangle their employers over tall buildings and knock them around, don't they t:

Ock and Harry made a deal. If Harry didn't co-operate, he'd have been tossed over the balcony. Simple as that. You speak as though Ock wasn't getting what he wanted from Harry.

and was nowhere the insane genius and megalomaniac baddie he really is in the comics....

Oh yes.

Ock had a scientific scheme, where he was rebuilding a reactor which could destroy the entire city. And he was smashing and destroying anything and anyone who stood in his way.

He was also shown to be very rational pre-accident, too. I mean, his reactor is destroying his lab, but he still refuses to shut it down. He even smashes Spider-Man into a wall when he tries to unplug the reactor.

Perfectly sane

WTF a super villain listening to Spidey and agreeing to not only stopping killing him for good (which is Ock MAIN GOAL in his life) but he is also killing himself up ? Bull****

No, the only bull s*** is you thinking that Ock's main goal in life is to kill Spidey. That never ever was Ock's main goal in life. Spider-Man was always just a nuissance to Ock. Nothing more. Someone who stood in the way of Ock's plans.

Ock has much bigger aspirations than just taking out Spider-Man. Leave simplistic goals like that to characters like Venom.

So I'm praying he won't get the Octopus treatment here and will end up being a A MAJOR VILLAIN from A to Z who vows to kill Spider-Man and making his life a living hell at ALL COSTS

You're in for a BIG disappointment then.

For me, I think Sandman is going to steal the show. Can't wait.

 

[Naite22]

^ I always surported Sandman! I always said that People were to hung up on Venom (the dude who's only in the movie for 15 minutes) istead of Sandman - the major baddie!!!.... I think he'll look so cool in action! I'm very eager to see Venom come to life, but I wont sit through the whole movie waiting for him... His time will come when most needed, and not a minute sooner!

I think Sandman will definitly steal the scenes he's in, but I think HARRY will steal the SHOW!!!

 

[Mr Jide]

So when Harry and sandman are in the same scene, who steals what and where hmmm??

 

[The Geek Vault]

I can't wait to see Sandman in the movie! I went to Borders yesterday and I was looking at the spider-man 3 movie books. From what I got Venom and Sandman team up!

[CrashNburn]

i think sandman will be great in this film. there is so much going for this film for everyone. watching sandman on screen,watching symbiote-spidey,waiting in antipation for venom at the end but what might actually steal the show is what happens at the end with Harry and Peter's friendship. I think most people want to see them friends again after harry's hate for peter in SM2 and SM3. That's my opinion.

There's a great article there, thanks for the link

D!

I like the armored truck scene. I can't wait to see the whole thing.

me to, it's going to be mind blowing!. not to mention the fact that Sandman is so badass when he give's spidey that dirty look and punches him right through the armored car door. and the Subway battle will be even better considering that they are battling inside a subway. so quite frankly, Sandman is a really entertaining Villian that not only has a great gripping story but he also set's a great amount of action in this film comvined with the other battle's as well.

Yes, all lackeys dangle their employers over tall buildings and knock them around, don't they t:

But it was Harry WHO was employing him and using him to bring him back Spidey not the opposite

Ock and Harry made a deal. If Harry didn't co-operate, he'd have been tossed over the balcony. Simple as that. You speak as though Ock wasn't getting what he wanted from Harry

Ock was just a tool in Harry grand scheme of things .

No, the only bull s*** is you thinking that Ock's main goal in life is to kill Spidey

Oh really ?

I have the Spiderman The Ultimate Guide written by Tom De Falco (with foreward by Stan Lee himself) and HERE IS what TOM SAYS ABOUT the REAL DOC OCK

"However, during a freak laboratory accident, Otto Octavius was somehow physically and mentally bonded with his mechanical arms, he had been turned into Doctor Octopus .
Since then, he has fought super heroes such as Daredevil and The Fantastic Four.
But Doctor Octopus is particulary obsessed with Destroying Spider-Man and believes that he will never know peace until he kills the web-slinger" (@ Tom Di Falco - SpiderMan The Ultimate Guide)

The joke is on YOU now


t:

He totally HATES Spidey and the way he agreed to (all of a sudden) allowing him not only to remain alive BUT also to kill himself for the goodness of humanity is plain and simply bull****.....

[The Joker]

But it was Harry WHO was employing him and using him to bring him back Spidey not the opposite.

What are you talking about?? Harry didn't employ him.

Harry: "Alright, alright, alright put me down. We'll make a deal".

You get it?? A deal. A mutual beneficial agreement. Something for something. The tritium for Spider-Man.

Sheeeesh. Raimi couldn't have made it clearer if he tried.

Ock was just a tool in Harry grand scheme of things

Yeah, because Harry consulted his crystal ball, and knew Ock was going to come and threaten him for the tritium

Listen, if we're going to have a debate, then don't talk rubbish. Back up what you say with some proof, rather than making silly, off hand remarks like that.

Oh really ?

Oh, I'm sold. If Tom DeFalco says so, then it must be true. Lets just ignore the 40+ years of Spider-Man stories, where the ONLY time Ock seeked out Spider-Man to destroy him, was when he formed the Sinister Six.

Yeah, there's a guy who's focused on destroying Spider-Man

You prove otherwise, list me three Spider-Man stories where Ock's primary goal is to get Spider-Man, then we'll talk. Until then, the joke is still very much on you.

He totally HATES Spidey and the way he agreed to (all of a sudden) allowing him not only to remain alive BUT also to kill himself for the goodness of humanity is plain and simply bull****.....

Did you even watch Spider-Man 2??

Doc Ock in SM-2 had NO personal grudge against Spider-Man. He was nothing to him but someone who was in the way of his goal. A nuissance. Just like the in the comic books.

Capeesh??
