Yes. They didn't clutter the origin w/ them in the 616. I haven't read Ultimate in a while but goddamn how much did they add in w/ that? Did it make any sense in the end?

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Ultimate Origins was written just prior to the Ultimatum event that everyone hated. Some of it made sense, it was certainly better than Ultimatum at least, but there were clear plotholes that haven't been explained yet. The biggest one is that it shows Peter's parents being killed by Hulk when Peter was just a baby, yet the earlier story of Ultimate Venom showed the Parkers and Brocks having a picnic together when Peter was about 5 or 6 years old.

In the current Ultimate X-men series, it has just been revealed to the public that the government was responsible for creating mutants, so we will see where that goes.

While I am not particularly fond of Connors seeming evil regardless of the transformation, I kind of see where it makes sense . I am thinking that it may be like the early cases of Norman Osborne and the Goblin. I seem to recollect that Osborne retained the Goblin persona sans the outfit for a certain time period, until he was just knocked unconscious and regained his old persona. The same might hold true for Connors , and he might be able to transform at will into the lizard. Not that I like that, but a possible explanation.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Norman Osborn was always evil. The Goblin formula only made him more evil (it drove him insane).

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

You're right, I have seen him eat a lot of a seafood.

The Halloween costumes show the Lizard in more detail. Also apparently a Gwen Stacy costume out of Sins Past or something...

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I think the trailer looks surprisingly good.

Ok, this got me rotfl

As the series progressed Ditko drew Spider-man more muscular.

When he very first appeared, he was skinny, John Romita then drew him typically muscular, 80s artists drew him kind of atheleticly slim, McFarlane drew him muscular again, then John Romita Jr drew him tiny and skinny, as well as Bagley in Ultimate Spider-man.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

everyone who hates the look of the Lizard, should blame Rhys Ifans' parents... because it looks A LOT like him.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I his father Dennis Hopper?

I mean come on, there's more resemblance to the Goomba then there is to himself.

As an aside, this reminded me of the comic cover GIFs I saw a few months ago:

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I approve of the IM one. Like the Spidey one too.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

bluetoast, those are... exquisite. The water one is impressive.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

The Halloween costumes for the lizard look almost as convincing as the one in the movie. Maybe there's a surprise where he Is Gwen Stacy going to be some kind of slut? The last photo of the Halloween outfit makes it appear such.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Ever read Sins Past?

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

:lol: at the Lizard. Again they are making this movie way to easy to shit on.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Swamp Thing's cousin?

On a serious note, the Lizard costume is fine if they are trying to show that the Lizard will be emoting, rather being some generic CGI beast. If the Lizard was CGI (or had a CGI head), the Lizard wouldn't give a good performance (unless it was Andy Serkis behind the motion-capture Lizard CGI).

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

meh. Don't know how I feel about another spider man remake. Seems as though the series is following the Hulk remakes. lol

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Meh don't really care to see it.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

The Lizard seems more like Killer Croc in appearance.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Killer Croc wasn't always so animalistic. He originally was just a man with a rare skin disease that give him green scaly skin. He wasn't even really all that physically strong. Bane kicked his ass not once but twice, breaking his arms in both battles, and Bane didn't even use the Venom drug in the second battle. It wasn't until the late 90s when Killer Croc started mutating into more of an animal that he is known as today.

Lizard is actually the same way. Steve Ditko never drew him with a snout. Lizard has progressively become more and more animalistic over the decades.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

I'm just saying that in the regards to this film, it seems like the look of the Lizard is more like Killer Croc from Arkham Asylum. Of course, I'd much rather see a feral Lizard like in McFarlane's Torment instead of the hulking reptilian he's portrayed as... and definitely not something like Serpentyne from ROM. Spider-man doesn't transform into something larger than what he is and, IIRC, the original Lizard didn't either which is why he still has pants and the lab coat.

Re: Spider-Man (2012, Marc Webb)
 

Hulk is ten times bigger than Bruce Banner and yet still retains his pants. So there goes that theory.
