What should GR's main power be in movie?

[Riding Ghost]

With the last MSJ revelations of the effect of hellfire on metal i think it's more probable that the shotgun is some kind of desperation weapon used by Blaze in the final battle, that it changes by the hellfire Johnny can now control without being GR...or something like that.

It would be fine if they justy had Blaze use it, but MSJ already said that Ghost Rider himself would be using it instaed of hellfire blasts from his hands

Well, we don't know already if the two personalities are really split and how much...maybe in the end there's some kind of fusion...

It's quite possible... and from what I can tell from the reports, the relationship between Blaze and the demon is more like Ketch's relationship with the demon. Blaze isn't fighting what he has inside of him. He accepts it and is dealing with it. I like that.

As for the shotgun. I say we just wait and see what it looks like before we really jump to conclusions.

I heard johnson is gonna use the shotgun instead of hellfire. Hes gonna **** this up like hedid daredevil

There's not going to be any hellfire blasts if thats what you mean. There will be some hellfire balls that he throws though... which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.

MSJ answered a few of our questions in this thread today; http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188064

One of them being about his powers...

-- There have been a few long time fans of GR who were upset over the fact that the character would use a "Hellfire Shotgun" instead of shooting flames from the hands like in the original 70's comic. Is it possible that the shotgun is a rare occurrence and GR would instead use the chain and Penance Stare for most of the movie? Why did you feel it was necessary for GR to use a shotgun instead of shooting Hellfire from his hands?

The Shotgun only appears later in the film. For most of the movie GR uses the chain and the Penance Stare. And he throws fire as well!!

-- Will there be any scenes, such as in the Goyer script, where Ghost Rider completely unleashes Hell and just thrashes through everyone in his path? The Penance Stare and his variety of other uses with chains and Hellfire I assume will all be present, including a new weapon in the Shotgun. I'm actually a fan of this idea, and can't wait to see it being used in a "Free For All" kick butt fight!

There's plenty of ass kicking done by GR in the movie, don't worry! He truly gets to utilize all of his abilities in the movie. However, I do hold to the idea of the comic that he will not take a human life. Demons, on the other hand, are totally on the menu. And humans have to endure the Penance Stare, which is a fate worse than death.

An update from here; http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0508/20/ghostrider.htm

Some new, some not.

Johnson: You bet. The main weapon is the hell-chain. And of course, there's the hellcycle. And he's got the penance stare from the comics. I just thought that was a cool ability to have, to make someone feel all the sins they've committed against others.

And he does have fire. He can manipulate fire. We've got fire throwing, fire balls, the chain and the hellfire shotgun. All of his weapons, all of the things I've loved from the comics from both Johnny and Danny, are in there.

Well obviously I was really looking forward to the hellfire blasts, but throwing fire and fireballs is similar and should suffice for me. Plus the gun is only used at the end, so all in all its sounding pretty good to me.

 

[FlameHead]

It's soundin' real good to me. I'm looking forward to the fireballs actually. I think that's a great adaptation on the whole hellfire blast thing. It should look pretty darn cool.

 

[Riding Ghost]

In the fth comercial spot they show Blaze throw some fire while still in human form. Pretty cool

 

[Selene]

Chains cuz they sound cool when the make contact.. woosh!!

I didn't realize it until they mentioned it on the extra on the dvd, but GR did use hellfire from his hands in the movie. Thats how he killed wallow. It was so quick, I never realized it before until they mentioned it and I payed close attention. It was quick, but I'm glad they threw that in there.

 

[Reaper]

^^Agreed.

In the theatre I couldn't tell what was going on, it just looked like a bunch of flashes of light and fire to me. Now that I know what it is, I can tell and its one of my favorite scenes. Shame it was so brief.

Wait, when was this?
