KnightWing Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's pretty great stuff. It'd be amazing to get a TV series like that. Or even a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunKL Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 That is the stuff right there, absolutely brilliant! Who else caught that the phone box was a TARDIS reference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) It's an amazing one-man production, but I'd rather watch the Max Fleischer Superman cartoon which this is clearly paying homage to. Was that a TARDIS he changed in? EDIT: Ah, I see you caught it too, Shaun. Edited February 9, 2011 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Top 11 Dumbest Spiderman Movie Moments He's actually got some really good points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I only agreed with 7, 3, and 1. The lack of Venom in 3, Emo Peter in 3, and the dance scene in 3. The rest just didn't seem as important to me, and a few things were actually positives. (Willem Dafoe being crazy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Top 11 Dumbest Spiderman Movie Moments Way to make me doubt your geek cred, Doug. Since I'm a Spider-Man geek, I'm going to comment on each of these. 11. The American Flags -The New Yorkers annoyed me more. 10. Pointless characters -I agree. Gwen Stacy? Bryce Dallas Howard was perfect casting and they botched the character. John Jameson? He wasn't a character, he was a plot device. 9. Hokey acting from background characters -This doesn't bother me really (because Hal Sparks and Joel McHale are awesome), though the screaming woman in the building, while Raimi-esque, was out of place. 8. Effects in Spider-Man 1 -Don't really bother me. 7. Little Venom in Spider-Man 3 -I had more problem with Venom's arrival being a deus ex machina than the lack of Venom. I thought Topher Grace did a good job too. If they had swapped John Jameson with Eddie Brock, Venom would have been developed much better. 6. The Romance -Felt pretty Spider-Man to me. 5. Doc Ock's arms -Didn't have a problem with this either (though the arms talking to him was a bit much). 4. The Dialogue -I think it's cheesy in all three. 3. Emo Peter -I agree with this too. It would have been better if Peter looked normal, maybe had the costume give him a nice suit, and just acted cocky and had a much shorter temper for other people's crap. 2. Wilhem Dafoe -He was one of the best things about the film series, terrible costume be damned. 1. The Dance Scene -I agree with this one too. Where was the Macy Gray concert from the first movie?

SuaveStar Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think the main issue with Venom is that Eddie just suddenly turns into a mad psychopath, with no real justification. The church scene felt like someone said to Raimi: "Yeah.....we need to justify why he's gone evil.....like a church..say he's in the same church, at the exact same time....except you know, make it good" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Eddie hated Peter for ruining his life (even though he was a dick) and the suit amplified that hatred. I agree, though, that it needed more than one film to be a believable change. That church scene was in the comic as well, with Brock going there to pray forgiveness before he was going to kill himself (if I remember correctly).

That church scene was in the comic as well, with Brock going there to pray forgiveness before he was going to kill himself (if I remember correctly). But he went to the church and asked for God to kill Peter. It was a great scene, but it felt like it came out of nowhere. And the forgiveness angle would have worked better. The critic did bring up a good point about it being JJ's son being Venom. It would've been a nice twist, and people wouldn't have called bullshit on that set up. Suit hates Spider-Man, John hated Peter, and together they make Venom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 And in the comics, Eddie had, y'know, an actually good reason for hating Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I used to hate The Black Keys on the principle that they were like Arcade Fire, a hipster douche band for hipster douches. Then I listened to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Gaiman's argument is extremely short sighted for someone with his intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Heh, I thought so too. Though if you're as successful as Neil Gaiman, I guess I could see that coloring your view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey, it's smart of him to take that position, considering the main demographic for his books are the people most likely to pirate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
