[Movie] Spider-Man 3

Can't believe a thread hasn't been made yet. Behold the Black Spidey!

So discuss all the Venom rumors, including the nonsense about Venom's face appearing if you reverse the eye and zoom in close. My stance on the whole thing is that I will not be satisfied if they do include Venom as only a last minute teaser of Spidey 4 (like what they did in Batman Begins). I don't want to wait another 4 years or so. They need to devote at least 20 minutes to a dramatic battle between Spidey and a fully revealed Venom.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Title fixed. Resume your important discussion.

I typed Spider-Man 2? Damn. ><

Sorry, I am speculating just like everyone else. I don't know shit.

Fixed.

Here's a cool fan-shopped image of the same pic.



I'm pretty sure Sandman won't be the main villain. I honestly always viewed Sandman as a B grade villain. The hired muscle, if you will. I think Sandman's screentime will only serve as a flashy opening, and nothing more. I can't really imagine a whole movie dedicated to him.

Even with Hobgoblin, I think there's enough time to develop Brock and the black costume. Near the end, Peter gets rid of the suit, and it bonds with Eddie. Then, just when you think the movie is nearing the end, an extra 20 minutes is added to have Spidey clash with a newly created Venom.

To me, the perfect way to introduce Venom would be his first encounter with MJ in the comics, where he's standing in the shadows, and she thinks it's Peter. But then a twisted smile forms around the black mask, and the hulking figure steps out of the shadows. "Hi, Honey...."



That would be so awesome.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only confirmed villain is Sandman. The rest are rumored, including Venom, Electro, Green Goblin II, Hobgoblin, Vulture, and Mysterio. Oh, and Kraven too, I guess. It's either Hobgoblin and/or Venom.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And uh, what did they pull off from Batman Returns to Forever?

Didn't Venon get his spider-logo across his chest at the end of the Ultimate Spider-Man video game? I read somewhere that the events in the game are canon material.

Suddenly I have an incentive to finish that game, if this proves true. It bothered me tremendously that Ultimate Venom didn't have his symbol (keep in mind I still have to get the "Hobgoblin" TBP, so if this is common news now, I'm out of the loop).

Same here. There's a load of difference between "playing Venom" and "playing the guy who WILL become Venom". Grace could just be speaking about the future when he mentions himself as Venom, when in reality he could only be playing Eddie Brock and nothing else for now. Hopefully this isn't the case and the true Venom does make an appearance.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Quote:

So you still don't think Grace is going to be Brock/Venom?

Woops. Fixed.

FELIPE NO

It was confirmed in the official site that it was a new costume. It even dispelled the color tone theory that you just mentioned.

Okay, I just have to step in with all this Carnage talk; it ain't happening. There's just no way you can market a mass serial killer whose own suit is composed of his own blood (at least it was the last time I checked, way back in Maximum Carnage) to a PG-13 audience (still mostly composed of kids), not unless you want Carnage seriously gimped.

Honestly, Carnage had his moments back in the day, but overall I find him inferior to Venom. Venom has a cooler design and a cooler backstory (eternal hatred for Spidey). Carnage is just a psycho who wants to kill anything that isn't him, which I always felt was a little out of place in Spider-Man.

Maybe they could implement the Ultimate Carnage, an inhuman creature created from Peter's DNA, but I don't see, or really desire, the original showing up in the movies.

lol please, read.

. During Maximum Carnage it is revealed that the symbiote has become a part of Kasady's blood and is unremovable from him: Kasady only needed to be cut for the symbiote to flood out to become Carnage once again

Even if you omit that part, he's still a redneck serial killer. How would you market a character like that for a massively marketed movie like this?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quote:

It was called Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it was so marketable that they did a remake that made them a fortune.

And the kids loved it.

That's the kind of audience that makes up a large percentage of Spidey movie fans: kids. And besides that point, the movie is very mainstream. If they try to make someone like Carnage the main badguy, it would be all over the media, stirring controversy all over. The kind of controvery Sony wouldn't want for one of their biggest franchises.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Black Spidey=confirmed.

Eddie Brock=pretty much confirmed.

Eddie Brock turning into Venom in this movie=still sorta iffy.

Like I said, even if he does get the suit by the end of the movie, I'll still be disappointed unless we at least get a brief scuffle with Spidey and Venom. Having Venom appear in full is nice, but I want to see him in action.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe they don't want to reveal a clear image of the costume yet.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I doubt it. The eyes are too cartoonish, and the muscles are simply too out of proportion. And don't get me started on the ass. :/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just saw it on Comedy Central. There is no doubt whatsoever that this will be the absolute best movie of 2007. Black Spidey is just fantastic.

Also, this will likely be the same trailer included on the Taladega Nights BR movie included with PS3.

I think Raimi hinted there was a "secret fourth villain". Rumor has it

Spoiler:

that Bruce Cambell plays Mysterio. I wouldn't pass this up, as Mysterio made an appearance in Ultimate Spiderman as a "fake villain" (no powers)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I saw that today. I'm slightly dissapointed. Just slightly. I always found the big white spider logo tatooed across his body to be symbolic. Sure, it's better than the spider-less Venom from Ultimate Spider-Man (though I hear he eventually gets the white symbol too), but the lack of an emblem here makes him look a little....Carnage-like.

Otherwise, it's a solid adaption.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
