Slayer 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 I didn't think about this until I saw the trailer again today before Superman: Anyone else notice the irony in having Kirsten Dunst, a blonde, dye her hair red to play MJ while having Bryce Howard, a redhead, dye her hair blonde to play Gwen? Yes, I know Dunst was around for the older films, but still. And I wouldn't mind a bit if they pulled the switch and killed off MJ. Dunst has been the black eye on an otherwise enjoyable movie series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also don't see the problem with Dunst - she does just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 well, 1) they didn't clearly show it, Ben's demise was off camera, and 2) I'm guessing that he turns out not to be the one. just a prediction. That trailer was fucking awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 I'm happy to see no sign of Venom in there, leaving hope that it won't be complete overkill with him, Sandman, & Goblin II. I assume the ending of the movie would obviously be Brock becoming Venom, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I don't like it. It takes away part of his whole character motivation. "Your uncle wasn't killed by the man you let run away by being irresponsible, but by something totally unrelated that you couldn't have stopped anyway, so your great power bore no responsibility". I'm still optimistic about it panning out in a positive way, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v.2 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 I think they may be able to spin it into part of Parker's change that allows the symbiote to get in. Rather than a moral responsibility, now Spiderman has changed his motivation to vengeance and power. I think they'll tie it to Harry's quest in that way.

Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 I hope the CGI isn't done because that shot of Spiderman coming up against the American flag looked like shit. The shot of Spidey in the back suit back-flipping off the buildings and the sequence after that looked rough as hell too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 Terrific trailer. Hopefully that Uncle Ben twist is just a storyline and not an official movie-continuity change. Other than that can't wait for opening day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 there's a really hardcore cool shot of Peter screaming, trying to rip off the symbiote, and you have these wiggling tendrils shooting out, like they're "screaming". awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 Keep in mind that this is coming from someone that has absolutely no interest in Marvel characters, I thought the trailer was very underwhelming. Just to compare, the trailer for Spiderman 2 even got me interested. I guess alot has to do with the fact that the only thing that I was looking forward to,Gwen Stacy, was non-existent in the trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JMFabiano524 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 The Sandman thing...I can see how it is supposed to push Peter under the influence of the symbiote to giving in to revenge and all. (Sandman, then, would be the equivalent of Rhino in the TAS version of the Venom story, but they tagged on a reason for Spidey to wail on Sandy) But I do hope it proves to be a swerve of some sort, and I can see it being so, actually. Otherwise, it reeks of "Joker killed Thomas and Martha Wayne," yet is nowhere as unintrusive as that really was for Batman '89. That really wasn't THAT big of a retcon. On the other hand, with Spidey, yes, first we saw the thug in the first movie, albeit not doing the killing. Second, yeah...if Peter didn't stop the WRONG guy, is he really guilty of causing Uncle Ben's death? And thus Spider-Man should NOT exist??? If Sandy = killer is anything but a swerve/something that proves to be a lie, the only way to fix this is to make him and the unnamed thug accomplices somehow. Raimi doesn't seem to be the kind of guy to Schumacher us, so I am clinging to the hope that this will have some logic to it as it plays out in the movie.

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 My theory, based on nothing (i'm avoiding spoilers) is that Harry somehow sets up the ruse to fuck with Peter's head bigtime. That would be hardcore evil. I'm also thinking of that first Sandman teaser poster, which showed him protecting a kid or something. Seems like an awfully sympathetic shot for someone who is supposedly ben parker's killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 Yeah, one would think that such a storyline point being given away in the trailer (instead of a lame twist the audience groans at when it's revealed during the movie, like when Raiden said he was Shao Kahn's brother in the second Mortal Kombat movie - sorry, just felt like bringing up that awful film which I've watched multiple times, as recently as Monday... what was I saying here?) indicates it's actually part of a bigger storyline twist (like Met said, possibly involving Harry) or at the very least, faux motivation for him to fuse with the symbiote. The other weird thing I noticed in the trailers was the symbiote suit being in a drawer. That just seemed weird, but probably was not fully bonded yet. I just recall in TAS (my only real source of reference outside of the internet and talking with friends for Spider-Man mythos) that it acted as his everyday clothes.

reign 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2006 I'd have to say that Sandman being the killer will be a plot by someone. The Sandman seems VERY sympathetic in the trailer(running from someone and saying "what does it matter" when confronted about Parker and Spiderman holding his head Neo style in front of the subway)...I have a feeling that Sandman, like in the comics, will help Spiderman in the end against the Goblin and maybe Venom or at least against the suit...overall I just can't wait for this movie...best by far in the Marvel(and DC) line.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2006 The Sandman looked like someone found some left over graphics from "The Mummy Returns" and spun it into a storyline. I was really not liking him. Everything else looked ok I guess, the Ben thing has got to be a twist like something to force Spiderman to hunt Sandman or something. And what is it with all these villians being like sympathetic? Why can't we have a villian who doesn't have a reason, he's just a villian. Not "oh an accident killed my wife" or "oh they are taking away my life" or anything like that. Venom seems like he might be the thing but the Venom storyline feels like it's just going to lead to Carnage in the fourth one. I'm still going and I hope it doesn't have EMOSOUNDTRACK2007 like part 2 had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2006 Well Sandman, comics wise, did go from bad to good to bad and etc. I doubt that is what they are trying to capture there, but he is one of the few villians to have extended bouts of hero time. It would also seem odd that Sandman would have killed Ben, given that in the comics he had/has the same kind of relationship with his own mother that Peter had for Ben. Also in the comics, which is ironic given the other villians in this film, Venom kills Sandman . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest traveshamockery Report post Posted November 12, 2006 I apologize if this has already been posted, but a different version of the trailer was leaked today. I'm not sure if it is the Comic-Con trailer or not. It is full of unfinished special effects but does feature something very interesting at the end. I will just say that it may be considered a very big spoiler to some people. Anyone who has tried to avoid spoilers has been warned. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=78ZX0YP1 EDIT: It looks like it has been posted on YouTube as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvuddPuAp9Q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
