The loving costume in the ASM2 previews is glorious. I think it's pretty much the best one they've done yet. It's just perfect.

I love how in shots, it looks loose around his neck and mouth, like they expect him to talk and animate with his mask on, unlike the original which was super tight, makes for a big difference in the whole *~immersion~* department.

notthegoatseguy posted:having Flash, Spider-Man's biggest fan, becoming Venom would be great to see play out in a movie. I'd still rather see Eddie Brock. What I want definitely won't happen, though: a movie that's pretty much Taxi Driver with Venom. That is, a really psychological and subjective story about Eddie Brock, where he's "the hero" but you're mired in his totally delusional and fallible worldview. Basically, something that takes the origin mythos of most superhero narratives and makes it overtly about the characters' preoccupations with violence, revenge, and inferiority complex. Spider-Man in general is way more psychologically introspective than most superhero franchises...I like to think of Venom as a dark shadow character because he's Peter Parker if he never had Uncle Ben. Where Peter's masculine insecurities and abandonment issues and self-esteem problems were never put into perspective, and he had no positive role models to turn him into someone responsible. Venom could actually pull that off, since he already has such an understood reputation as an anti-hero.

Also from the same tumblr... December 28, 2013 By Ned Leeds, City Bureau A shocking Midtown bank robbery was foiled yesterday by Spider-Man. New York’s superhuman vigilante caught the mechanically augmented robber, suspected in two previous bank heists, as he fled the scene with the stolen loot. Police arrived on the scene as Spider-Man finished webbing up the suspect, who was arrested and later identified as disgruntled engineer, Herman Schultz. Schultz created wrist-gauntlets that are capable of emitting a vibratory wave of pressure that proved capable of tearing apart a four-foot thick steel vault. NYPD Special Crimes Unit Detective Stan Carter stated that Schultz had officially been remanded into custody and is being held at the Ravencroft Institute pending his preliminary hearing. When asked how a “disgruntled engineer” could create such dangerous weapons, Carter said, “Shocking, right? All that genius but no escape plan.”

He really is like Peter Parker with no sense of responsibility. He's been known to make his equipment from scrap he can pull together in prison and his only focus is on money. But I don't know if he could ever carry a movie by himself as the main antagonist.

I'm rewatching the Amazing Spider-man right now. Andrew Garfield has so much more charisma in 5 minutes of this flick than Maguire had in all three of his films. I am positively boggled by people who favor Toby over Andrew.

So just how bloated is this movie going to be? I'm getting serious Spider-Man 3 vibes with Electro filling the role of tragic accident bad guy that Sandman played, Harry filling the same role in both, and Rhyno being...Venom I guess? Both were sort of shoe horned in it seems. Dunno, I thought they would learn from the failure of SM3 and the success of ASM and SM2 that less villains lets you tell a better story.

Would watch again and again. ... You're right tho, Amazing Spider-Man owns and this new one is gonna be even crazier and better.

Both were sort of shoe horned in it seems. It's looking like each villain is ASM2 is going to be linked to Oscorp in some way, so at least there'll be a good reason why they're all involved in the plot against Spider-Man to a greater extent than "Sandman and Venom have two completely separate storylines that meet at the last minute and they team up because reasons". And hasn't it been confirmed that Max Dillon is a Spider-Man obsessive who volunteers to undergo experimentation that turns him into Electro? And I'd imagine Rhino's is similar.

Both were sort of shoe horned in it seems. Too many villains is an excuse for a poorly written and directed movie. Batman Begins had three villains. The Dark Knight Rises parallels Spider-Man 3 well by having a villain who changes sides by the end. The problem with Spider-Man 3 is that the movie spends so much time presenting Peter as his own enemy that the villains are never developed all that well, and in particular are never given a relationship except for all wanting Spider-Man dead. You're definitely right that the stories parallel somewhat, but ASM2 looks like there will be some cohesion between the villains.

You could do a gauntlet (not the comic book ASM series but a style) style where you don't need to introduce the villains and still conflict Peter's life a bit.

You're not alone in this opinion. There's good things to like about them, especially given how important they were in getting Marvel back on its feet in the early 00s, but they're mostly hot garbage in retrospect.
