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

[Morbius]

LEGO is awesome

I stayed up building an Oscorp tower! (it's not quite lego, but it's similar!) until 2am, and I had work at 7am that morning. Totally worth it

Awesome
Does that require glue?

 

[Morbius]

Just basic lego, or at least, an equivalent. It's very cool really!

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I don't like McFarlane's art, his cover style is good though, I admit that

I really don't like McFarlane's art either.

Now I see it
Kinda looked like "Revell" model for a moment

I really don't like McFarlane's art either.

Todd McFarlane is just pure awesomeness. Takes a bit of getting used to, but he is probably in my top 10 comic book artists.

I want to get that Oscorp Tower lego set!

He has a lot of 'lines' on his characters - like they're made of wood, and he uses a lot of crosshatching. He's definitely not lazy with his pen! I prefer other artists, but I gotta say, he is quite distinctive

Yes, very distinctive. His art is extremely noticeable that's for sure. I prefer many other artists over his work.

 

[Morbius]

Is it just me, or do a lot of his characters have quiffs?

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Look at those eyebrows! Scorcese would be envious.

Same! I always thought his work looked so good. No hesitation.

Last year I was reading a lot of the 80s/90s comics and I thought they serve as a counter example to those who were arguing that Peter looks "too cool" on this series. I read issues where Peter was drawn with black leather moto jackets, tight denim, all that.

Like sure Peter is a really smart guy. "Nerd" per se, or geek, whatever, but I don't think there was ever something written in stone where he dresses horribly. I feel after the spider bite, not directly after, but he gained a sense of confidence and "dressed better".

Peter's never been a bad looking guy. He just lacked confidence at first. Have you guys seen Rebel Without a Cause? I feel like Peter has always been similar to James Dean's character in terms of being a 'social outcast' and angst. Different circumstances, of course (Rebel Without a Cause is by no means a realistic look into teenage angst), but I think that connection can still be made.

Haven't seen that movie.

Yeah lack of confidence. Was never an ugly dude. But it's not even a rule ha the "can't dress 'cool'"

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't like the way McFarlane draws faces, and adds too many wrinkles

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I feel like when I have my inevitable midlife crisis, I will turn to Lego again.

Hoping you live that long, and beyond

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Hoping you live that long, and beyond

Doesn't matter how long you live, you will always have a middle to it.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Doesn't matter how long you live, you will always have a middle to it.

True

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

True

*starts playing with Lego*

Oh God, it has begun!

It seems like a lot of fans didn't want Peter to grow as a character. I think its cool to see him start out as an outcast/nerd and after becoming Spider-Man, he becomes a "cooler" guy; it gives hope that kids growing up in in school who are outcasts can grow up or achieve anything, y'know?

Yeah absolutely. It just fits with his universal factor. But I don't think he wasn't ever supposed to NOT dress "cool". Haha. It's a bit ridiculous.

Times have changed since 1962, and I think people forget that.
