The Amazing Spider-Man 2 With Great Sequel Comes Great Lounging - Part 6

[Picard Sisko]

I think most people had a problem with it because they changed Electro's race (which is a really ignorant criticism).

As far as Eisenberg goes, the issue I have with him is that he comes off as a young kid, but for all we know, he could really be a spectacular Lex Luthor.

At first I thought the casting of Jamie Foxx was really weird. No one was expecting it all. Guaranteed, no one had Jamie Foxx on their list to play Max Dillon/Electro.

I haven't watched anything of him at that point, none of his movies.

Then we were able to see a bunch of set photos, and I thought to myself, "huh...THIS is what they're going for with Electro. THIS is the route they're taking. And it looks like it WORKS." Soon enough I saw Django, and thought, "I'm sold".

Sure, we've all read the comics, and Electro was always Caucasian. So it's gonna throw us off a tiny bit to hear that Jamie's playing him. But it turns out, the truth is, that really doesn't matter. At all. Look at the route the went with him. It looks awesome. Sure it may deviate from the source material a bit, but imo, it's just exaggerated from the source material. He's this socially weird hardcore nerd but I think they did that to emphasize the inferiority complex that he gains later which Electro ALWAYS has in the comics. And c'mon, his transformation? He looks fantastic! That's my two cents on Jamie. Sorry, I had to do it after reading Picard's last post.

Well said, man.

At first, I was actually surprised that Electro was even in the movie at all. I thought that perhaps he was just going to be a side-villain or something since Electro was never really given the spotlight outside of "SM2: Enter Electro." I think Jamie is going to be perfect for Max Dillon based on everything we've seen, and so far this film has pushed me into reading some more comics regarding his character. For example, TASM #422 introduces his mother, Anita Dillon… can't wait to read it!

Thanks.
Ah. He is a B-List sort of villain after all. When I heard he was the villain, I was so excited man! Haha. After watching TSSM, I realized the potential that Electro can have on screen.
And same here! I've grabbed as much as I could of Electro after the news.
422 is the issue I posted here right? With him in the electric chair.

Yes, that's the one. The next issue after that with Anita Dillon is #425 I believe.

I really do hope that Electro comes back for the Sinister Six. Jamie Foxx said he wants to retire at some point and start directing (he is currently 46, so maybe when he turns 50), but I think the S6 film will come out before then. If TASM4 comes out in 2018, I think the S6 could be released in 2017.

I should take a shower
The wedding of the cousin of my second cousins is tonight

Dude Electro better be in S6! It's no doubt Jamie wants it. He knows what such a good idea it'll be. He wouldn't pass it up.

Haha nice. Have fun. Haven't been to a wedding in a bit.

As for me, I'm cleaning the house with my little brother after the party we had last night for the Super Bowl. Luckily, I have a side of me that gets pretty domestic and wants to see everything spotless clean haha so I have a motivation if you will.

True. He was pretty excited about playing Electro, so I think he'll return. I found it funny when he said his daughter told him that Spider-Man is going to beat him up. lmao

Also, Jamie playing Electro turned his daughter into a big Spider-Man fan, so they made her a Spider-Man themed b-day party.

I've never been to one at all lol

Actually, if I may correct you, Jamie's daughter was a fan BEFORE his casting. And the Spider-Man party was coincidence.
Haha she's adorable. She also said, "don't hurt Spidey." Awww ha.

Depends on the wedding, but it can be real fun.

Oh, my bad. Thank you for correcting me.

And aww, "don't hurt spidey!" lol

No all good. Just goes to show how lucky she is for her dad playing Electro.

She's probably going to be terrified of Electro though lol

I know I'm late, but I had no problem with Foxx whatsoever.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Peace, guys, what's up?
Tonight an event I did not like happened, I hurled, I returned my dinner
On the bright side, I enjoyed the celebration, and the taste of the food

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Do you not eat food much?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I do, somehow I returned my dinner tonight
After a while of splitting headache

Glad I did it before going to sleep

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Returned it as in vomit?

 

[Nicko-Ray]

I had to clean up some left over vomit at the toilet tonight. Vomit that wasn't mine. That wasn't fun. #firsttimeforeverything

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Returned it as in vomit?

Yep

And here I was thinking how great it is being around mature people means everyone is responsible for after his/her own barf and you don't have to do it for them

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Sherlock's finale is nuts.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

How insane?

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Insane in the membrane.

Ha! Well yeah, I'm usually around older people, too. I'm 21 and last night was mostly 25 and up. I guess some people have trouble evolving? Haha idk.
