Enough RoboVillian designs already!

A quick aside regarding the Spiderman films:



Could Marvel stop reinventing “real life” designs for his nemeses, please?



Electro- TRAGIC costume design & “origin”. P.S.- he doesn’t fly or levitate.



The Rhino- just plain stupid. Guns? Could be a cool enemy though with an organic approach to his look. Think updated ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU aesthetic.



The Lizard- debatable. If the Hulk can manage to stay in his britches, the Lizard can certainly retain his tattered lab coat, etc.. A less human-looking face…



Green Goblin- debatable. How about instead of RoboGoblin, we go for scary/ creepy Goblin in a SPAWN-like suit…



These are COMIC BOOK movies. We’re talking A GUY BITTEN BY A RADIOACTIVE SPIDER GETS SUPERPOWERS…

You think we can continue with the “suspension of disbelief” long enough to de-techify the bad guys and allow them to retain some semblance of their comic book aesthetic?



Not every villain has to be exo-skeletonized or enveloped in black leather.

If “credibility” is what you strive for, there are scientists who work in genetic mutation, hybridization and bioweaponry…





To be fair, Doc Ock, Venom and Sandman* were well done.





Let’s see a retro Vulture and/or Mysterio in upcoming Amazing …

Let’s also put some LIGHTING on the fight scene sets! In Spiderman 2, you could SEE the battle between Spidey & Doc Ock when he took Aunt May hostage, unlike most of the rest of the franchise’s fight scenes at night, in sewers, etc.. Even in those scenarios, there are ways, with competent set lighting, to ILLUMINATE CLEARLY what the hell is going on.

Amazing Spiderman’s school fight scene was another good example of allowing the audience to actually see what’s going on.
