Re: Hot Toys Electro teaser
Three Black Widows with a fourth and fifth to come is a huge waste when they could be doing Spidey villians or X-Men characters they haven't done once.

Re: Hot Toys Electro teaser
It may have seemed goofy for some (not saying that you thought so or anything), but I personally liked how it carried the spirit of the character. Comic-wise, Goblin was treated as looking ridiculous by the crime underworld. It was only when he started stirring up the city that they started to take him seriously.I felt that Dafoe's Goblin pulls off that effect quite well in that he seemed like a theatrical stuntman at first, only to be revealed as this crazy guy who somehow got a hold on some high-grade military tech.
I also didn't mind the costume looking like a streamlined stunt suit with armor protection, and while some have complained about the mask, I honestly felt that the payoff with Norman's identity being revealed at the end made it worthwhile. And it's not like we couldn't see Dafoe's facial expressions at all, since the eye slits and the translucent mouth piece showed his expressions fairly decently. Of course a lot of that wouldn't have worked if it weren't for Dafoe's acting, which while campy at times, I personally enjoyed as it captured that gleeful psychopathy that the Goblin was known for.
Just my opinion on Dafoe's Goblin of course. On-topic though, I'm excited to see how HT will tackle Electro, and though I lost interest in buying this due to my discontentment with the rest of the film, I'm happy for those who still plan to get it.

Lol, there has been no reveal as yet. And i like to see the ebb and flow of chat. Don't be like that other thread nazi guy who "had to wade through four pages to get pics".

Hopefully this goes up for order tomorrow. Really eager to see it. Hopefully the price is right though.

Just speculation at this point. Hopefully the full reveal will happen tomorrow and Hot Toys really delivers on this guy. Still no interest but I'd like to see what they do!

Re: Hot Toys Electro teaser
Franco Harry was pretty much a PERFECT 616 Harry though. Even with the hammyness of SM3. He was written just like he was in the comics. I have no idea where DeHaans Harry came from. His performance was really really good but that was not any Harry I knew. Not 616 or even Ultimate Harry was like that. It was jarring to me.

Yeah I think 'thread Nazi' is a little harsh
