SPUMC Thread - RIP STAN LEE - ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE out now

[lamekilla]

That's what's so amazing about the MCU. They built the universe trying to ground all the heroes in reality and give them a "real world" theme. Once they starting introducing more of the out the box earth based heroes they kept them as wacky as possible but still kept it grounded in reality. Take Spider-Man's eyes emoting for instance. They give it a mechanical explanation which is why they had Tony make the suit for Peter but once the movie explains it one time they take every opportunity to show off the exaggeration of it and it gives such an authentic feel Spider-Man that hasn't been seen on film before. Same with Panther. Same with Ant-Man

 

[Narcissist]

That was one inconsistency I noticed. They used the tech suit for emoting eyes but his homemade suit had emoting eyes too

Saw it last night.

7.5/10

Nothing spectacular but also nothing I was really let down by.

I think they really **** the bed with the trailers.

Nothing in the movie surprised me.

They should of never spoiled that final fight scene.

If I had no idea the plane scene was in there it probably would of been more epic.

Hell the trailers spoiled ALL the big reveals minus Lizs father.

 

[everysingletime]

The movie captured charming Peter perfectly. Laura Harrier was a cold little piece they chose to play Liz Allen and show that Peter got game.

Sheesh.

Good lord.

Jenny Slate Joins Tom Hardy in ‘Venom’

Jenny Slate is in negotiations to join Tom Hardy in Sony’s “Venom” movie.

Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed are also on board with Ruben Fleischer directing. Sony had no comment on the casting.

Sources say Slate will play a scientist in the film.



Scott Rosenberg (“Jumanji”) and Jeff Pinkner (“The Dark Tower”) will write the script for “Venom,” with Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach producing the movie, along with Amy Pascal. Palak Patel and Eric Fineman are overseeing the project for Columbia Pictures.

The studio has made it clear that Spider-Man will not appear in these stand alones but have left the door open for Venom to possibly appear in other “Spider-Man” related pics. “Venom” is set to hit theaters on Oct. 5, 2018.

Aren't they mixing Miles and Peter in terms of characters, story arc and mannerisms? Wasn't Miles and his friends all kids? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not sure why all the complaining about Spider-Man being 'kiddish'. He WAS a kid in the comic books.

More so incorporating the storylines and concepts from the Ultimate universe.

Only thing I can think of the MCU mixing things between Miles and Peter is Peter's BFF, Ned. In the comics, that's Miles' BFF, Genke.

8.5/10 to me.

Spider Man 1/2, and the Amazing Spider Man are arguably better movies but movie was better than expected when compared to the previews.

 

[tay1]

Spiderman 1 and 2, eh whatever. Amazing Spiderman isn't being argued at all tho

 

[Narcissist]

I'm still uneasy with this Venom movie. How you gonna have Venom without Spider-Man?

 

[tay1]

I think they're gonna change the origin a bit

I'm still uneasy with this Venom movie. How you gonna have Venom without Spider-Man?

Marvel been doing that for decades. Just simply isn't as good.

Venom really got most of the hype off the visual and the 90s hype. There are no classic Venom stories to adapt. Even the stuff where he's going after Spidey isn't amazing.

So its best they try to improvise and do their own thing with what little they do adapt.

I feel Hardy alone will bring a credibility and legitimacy to all scenes he's in when hes not Venom (unless its his worst movie ever).

 

[Narcissist]

It's suppose to be a stand alone right?

 

[rfx45]

yes but still exist with MCU but not really but sort of and maybe

Venom Movie Possibly Adapting Lethal Protector Comic

Rumors are circulating that the plot of Sony’s Venom film may be loosely based on the one of the antihero’s most popular comic book stories, Lethal Protector. Although plenty of casting news has been released for the movie, the exact specifics of the storyline itself has been shrouded in secrecy. However, if the latest reports are true, then we could well be in for a symbiote-fest on the big screen

In further intriguing news, Omega Underground has reportedly uncovered some more production details, and come to the conclusion that Venom will be based on one of his earliest character-defining adventures in the comics. Titled Lethal Protector and printed in 1993, it saw Eddie Brock come to peace with his symbiote and even establish a truce with Spidey. Agreeing to leave New York and travel to San Francisco, he becomes a force for good and is even appointed as the protector of a group of subterranean dwellers (Mole People) who were victimised by those around them. Soon, however, his past catches up with him, as a previous victim’s father hires mercenaries to kill him. This group is known as The Jury, and are empowered by Tony Stark armor. Venom then eventually faces off with a new group of symbiote villains (Scream, Phage, Riot, Lasher, and Agony), with the aid of his once-nemesis Spider-Man.

Sony launches official Venom twitter

**still want that damn tee**

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

This is gonna be so trash man

 

[vood99]

This is gonna be so trash man

Agreed. Venom's at best a support character and it's quite hard to follow Hardy when he speaks (unless his voice is altered as in Dark Knight Rises).

Tom Holland's only 5'6 so even a 5'9 cat would've been more imposing than the 5'7 Hardy.

 

[rfx45]

Spidey probably won't appear in the film so no worry with the height discrepancy

plus they're just gon' cgi Venom anyways so they can make him as big as as they want

 

[Narcissist]

Is he fighting Carnage?

 

[j2legend]

Not worried about the height problem. Although 5'7" is short, they can make him look big. Bane looked huge in Dark Knight and Christian Bale is 6 ft.

I hope the movie tanks. Sorry to say, but maybe they'll get the hint that MCU is better off with the entire Spider-Man license and put Pascal in her place instead if seeing this as an opportunity to ride on the coattails of the MCU success.

 

[Master Zik]

I guess I'm just a bigger Hardy fan than I am a Venom fan.

I don't see how the movie ends up being trash.

Like a slim chance in my mind that happens and it'd have to be cuz Sony wanted it to be terrible.
