I agree and was actually going to speak to a lot of that earlier but I guess I would prefer them to adapt the character from the original a bit more to maybe make it look and feel more familiar. Though, I understand their attempt to keep an element of realism. However, if i'm making a comic book movie, I've already stepped outside of the lines of trying to make it fit in the boundaries and potentials of "real-life".
A comic book movie doesn't need to be real life, it needs enough realism to not be Batman & Robin.
yeah....and we all know tobey and his carisma are inseparable
Finally watched Spiderman 3, Eric Foreman should have played Spiderman since the beginning. He was a shitty venom though. They could have at least changed his voice.
It's the more updated version of Electro more in line with the Ultimate Spider-Man comic and TV show. Sorry no big yellow starfish face mask for us.

I don't think you're being fair to the possibilities and abilities that technology lends. You are comparing what some dude in a $50.00 outfit he probably made himself looks like to what can be potentially done through CGI and some movie magic. I do agree however that it is probably much easier to make that costume look pretty tacky and far from intimidating but after seeing Loki in Thor/Avengers, I think it can be done and still be true to the character. Honestly though, as longs as the movie is good, I could care less.I don't think a shadowed picture of a lame costume is a very compelling case, when it'd end up looking like this when reproduced like that in a movie:
Bc if you translate that into a movie it will seem like something that belongs in a B-Flick. Thats some Batman and Robin type design going on there.
actually that's only his initial form, his final form (he was powered up somehow with kingpin, i forget) is basically dr manhattan.There's middle ground between the silly costume and making him Mr. Freeze.
This is Electro from the Ultimate SM comics.
Good catch, that's from after I bailed on the series(issue 159). Definitely closer to Jaime Freeze version than the earlier one. Maybe I've been all wrong and the ASM movies are a perfect translation of Ultimate Spidey, just after the series turned shitty.
Really? We're going with Superman 2? Those Superman movies are fucking terrible. ASM was decent. Superman 1 was about on par even in the 70s I guess....but my god...this scene. X-men doesn't hold up, but I think X2 was actually a pretty damn good movie just a rung below Spider-man 2. All that shit pales compared to the Dark Knight trilogy, including Rises (That we call that shit shows how just fucking spoiled we've become by the quality of nerd movies in recent years. Go watch Batman and Robin again before you toss any dirt at anything Nolan did.)
