Amph Spider-Man & SSU Films (Madame Web, Venom 3, Kraven, Beyond the Spider-Verse)

That somewhat misses the point. Conceptually, Carnage is a serial killer of unrivaled depravity. His acts are supposed to shock the conscience and disturb those exposed to them. However, in the years since the character was created, we've seen a whole genre of torture stories spring up: Dexter, Saw, Hostel, Hannibal, etc. To seem credible and true to the idea of the character, Hannibal would have to do things on this order. Otherwise, the character's reactions to him may well seem overblown, since it will certainly not be the worst thing audiences have ever seen. The last Batman film ran into a similar problem, when they tried to describe how incomparably horrible and inhumane a prison with color cable television and free-roaming doctors was in the wake of a world that had saw the abuses at Abu Ghraib. It just made the movie universe look stupid.

That besides, even trying to live up to this sort of thing implies huge tonal differences from the basically family-friendly style of action movies that most superhero films are built as.

 

3 Days to May 1st? Am I missing something?

 

^Yet another trailer is coming.

 

I've just stopped watching the trailer. You guys know that's an option, right? Just don't watch what they put out?

 

They are putting out advertisements for future advertisements?

. . .

Well, that's about the level of stupidity this franchise has taught me to expect, I guess.

 

Isn't that what a teaser is?

 

Not as I understand it. A teaser is it itself an advertisement for an actual product. Its purpose is not to alert you to the existence of an upcoming advertisement.

 

If I recall, that only happened once or twice in "Savage Genesis" and when it was done in the comics, it was darkened to black.

Carnage's acts were never that shocking and disturbing to the reader. The only one who was ever upset was Peter Parker, the fictional character, and that's because he's got a weak stomach when it comes to violence. When Ben Riley saw his acts, he wasn't as phased as Peter and even Batman was unaffected in "Disorderly Minds". The Joker even dismissed him as uncouth, lacking flair. In terms of the story, he was mainly meant to be the opposite of Venom, who only killed when necessary whereas Carnage just killed indiscriminately. His base serial killer style was mostly in the two cameos from before his full debut. After that, he was just killing like Jason Voorhees in "Freddy Vs Jason" during the rave massacre.

 

If you edited together all of the ASM2 trailers, you'd probably have about 70% of the final movie. Sure feels that way, anyway.

 

Anyone catch that Chameleon Easter egg?

 

Looks good

 

You know, so much promotion, with teasers of teasers for trailers kind of reeks of desperation. They seem to want to create so much hype to maximize first weekend numbers. Or maybe they want to oversell their product because they are unsure how well it well perform. I dunno. At this point the trailers have revealed so much that I'm not even sure what surprises are left.

 

Pretty sure the new trailer includes enough new stuff to push this up to about 75%.

 

Spoiler

how can you be so sure?

 

Well, the last film didn't do as well as the first three. So Sony is probably taking every effort to ensure that their future plans reach fruition.

 

THE ELECTRIC MAN COMETH

 

Spoiler

i don't trust wiki. I'm going to stand by my theory of bad Mexican food making him green

 

It doesn't matter how much is revealed really, so long as the movie is good

 

Why is Electro from this movie reminding me A TON of Arnold Schwarzennager's Mr. Freeze?

 

Cause it's actually Schwarzennger playing Electro and they want us to think it's Fox playing him
