The Amazing Spider Man 2 (2014)

Or just maybe you can realize that others don't share your opinion of it looking good and understand that to us, the "4 minutes" is 4 minutes too long for a Bayformer Rhino. Novel concept, I know, but still. You expect us to respect you loving every aspect of this, same goes for you respecting the inverse aspect.

O but I do. And you should follow your own advice. Stop putting words in my mouth for one. I didnt say I love it and also stop saying the same thing over and over again for the 50th time. We know. "ITZ A BAYFORMEZ RHINOZ AND ITZ NOT AS KEWL AS WHAT MARVAL COULDA DONE" I respect people who hate it and I agree its not the best deisgn in the word but most people say this sucks and leave. If its 4 minutes to long for you than by all means dont watch the damn movie. Nobody is forcing you to see this thing.

Its ok for people to be hype without being negative all the time.

Perhaps the team behind this film figured that a Rhino that is a guy in a suit or a mutation of some sorts was too similar to the Lizard in that it is essentially a massive hulking type dude

 

[RIDDICK]

So maybe if they did Lizard some justice in the first place no one would think that way.

Perhaps, but the Lizard was always going to be a large, strong creature even if they did a few cosmetic changes

Rhino wouldn't be too disimilar if they went with a more traditional look. And you know they wouldn't have gone completely traditional in any case, at a stretch we would have had a similar cross-genetics situation.

Which, on second thought, wouldn't be all that bad an idea, they've pretty much set Oscorp up to have the potential to be responsible for most of the villains, which I don't mind

I don't get the controversy over Rhino and Electro. Both look like their Ultimate incarnations. Rhino, looks like a proto version of his suit, especially the new shots which show the actors face inside the suit. And Electro, well he is almost exactly the same as the Ultimate version? I even remember watching (ahem.. With my son) an episode of the tv show set in Times Square which was very similar to the movie. These are not intended to be classic interpretations?

Yeah this is what I was thinking.

The new commercial has a tagline along the lines of "The start of something Sinister".

I didn't challenge this aspect, only portrayal of both Connors and Lizard.

you know they wouldn't have gone completely traditional in any case.

There's nothing "unrealistic" about bio-enhancing costume (or at least exosuit) in a universe where genetic mutation and mechanical wings/tentacles are common. This is just another hypocritical decision made out of fear of losing a large audience which mostly consists of self-righteous morons.

... at a stretch we would have had a similar cross-genetics situation.

That tried it with ASM game, it didn't work and they wouldn't translate it on the big screen.

Looks like Tobey Maguire's signing the shield too!

Come on, don't get her to fight your battles.

 

[thenammagazine]

It just means they know and understand their audience.

 

[RIDDICK]

Unfortunately, yes

Come on, don't get her to fight your battles.

but she's a hottie.

I'm with you.

Even in the Ultimate Spider-man COMIC (which the Amazing Spider-man movie series seems to be more aligned to), Electro is yellow, bald and wears a black/purple-ish jumpsuit. He was originally a thug for the Kingpin. His look is not much different from the movie interpretation (with the exception of the blue color).

Ultimate Rhino is indeed a large military suit and is called R.H.I.N.O. In the comic, it's also had the huge 'roided out look of a man in a Rhino costume, just more armored and spiked up. In fact, it's operated by a nerdy, scrawny little guy who sits inside named Alex O'Hirn. Think of it like any character who sits in a big robot armor suit....Gundam, Pacific Rim, practically every Japanese Mecha anime, etc.

It's just a bunch of people who can't keep their minds open to different interpretations and perhaps have not even READ the Ultimate Spider-man comics and are familiar with the Ultimate interpretation. I think both these movie interpretations are fine and I think they'll work well for the flick. With all the hate that these villains get FOR HOW THEY LOOK, I don't understand why fans seem to ignore more "critical" changes like the MCU's African-American Nick Fury (also based on the Ultimate universe comics).

If I never saw another Ultimates reference in a movie, it would be soon enough.

 

[Bardoon]

Ok, I'm curious here...

So I take it you like NOTHING that the Marvel movies (Marvel studios,Fox,Sony, etc.) have taken from the Ultimate universe and adapted into the films?

 

[karamazov80]

That is correct, as far as I know (I haven't read everything from the Ultimates). I HATE Hawkeye's change particularly. Hawkeye is some bland special ops guy? WTF is that?? And leather X-suits? Get out of town.

The entire Marvel Studios universe is based off the Ultimates universe.
