One Villainous Scene - The Facts of Life

[@thesuperframe]

My quick video explaining my one villainous scene, the introduction to the big man of crime.. TOMBSTONE ! EDIT: If you guys can tweet this video at NandosVMovies and help get it added to the playlist that'd be great :D

[@fictiontheorizer4253]

There's so many great villains' in this series that it's hard to pick one. From Venom and Green Goblin, to Doc Ock and Tombstone, and even less prominent villains like the Vulture and Rhino, there were some really awesome characters that came out of this show. Also congrats on knowing what "The Batman" tv show is. I generally find it to be extremely underrated.

[@AegixDrakan]

Oh my gosh. That...That's a REALLY nifty villain twist. "I'm only sending supervillains out so that it keeps you from dealing with the low ranking criminals that are my actual money-makers"...Damn that's a good one.

[@sebas8225]

Makes sense, Dark Knight Rises, pretty much showcases why Supervillains arent the best money-makers, most of them are ulterior motives, are too chaotic, etc... to be of any actual profit, they work far better as Superhero deterrents.

[@Marsh388]

It’s really brilliant. They aren’t even made to kill Spider-Man, just to be his playmates while small time crooks pick the city clean. I was hoping the MCU would have adapted this, it would have DEFINITELY went hand in hand with Tony Stark saying small time crime was beneath the superpowers crowd.

[@aaronjackson7244]

It's pretty smart yet quite realistic actually 💯💯💯them supervillains just give OG spidey a warm up, keeping him company while da big Dawgs handle grown man business ya dig?

[@benjaminbierley2074]

@@Marsh388 If you listen during the first Black Panther and in Spiderman Homecoming it's exactly this logic and approach the villains are trying to cultivate, basically actively making an effort to stay under the "superheroes" radar, in the case of Klaw making a museum robbery appear "sloppy" on purpose to keep the supes from realizing it was done by professionals, and in the case of the Vulture and his crew making sure they didn't make a scene with the tech they were using or giving themselves super villain names that would surely catch the heroes notice.

[@vylbird8014]

There are lots of ways you can work with the idea. I just read one book which puts a new twist on it: There's a villain shortage. Heroes in that setting can have lucrative public careers, getting corporate sponsorships, selling product endorsements, and being adored by the public - but they have been so successful that all the big villains are dead or securely incarcerated, and any upcoming new villains are swiftly dealt with in a curb-stomp battle with heroes far above their level. Without a good threat to fight - and a properly terrifying villain - there is no glory for the heroes and a lot less money. The big conspiracy of the setting is a shadowy secret society of villains... which turns out to be a front group working on behalf of the heroes: They seek out newly-empowered people with villainous potential, give them better resources and training, cultivate their public image while posing as allies - and once the sucker has a public profile sufficient to instil terror in the masses, their weaknesses and location are sold to a hero who gets the glory of taking down a 'real' threat.

[@shonenbois]

My favorite Villainous Scene has to be Slade’s Final scene in the teen Titan ep “Haunted” where he explains to Robin how he’s the monster he’ll never be able to beat. Yes That was a vision of Slade in Robin’s head but considering the stuff we know about him, he’d definitely do something like this

What's worse is that is Robin's realization of Slade: That he will never, ever truly defeat Slade.

I'm partial to the scene with Terra where Slade beats her up and then turns on the armor to control her. The look on her face as she realizes her life is no longer her own is both heart rentching and terrifying.

Tombstone: So you can either keep fighting a series of increasingly dangerous diversions while looters working for me get me everything I want, or you could accept the bribe to look the other way and we can give up the fights with millions of dollars of damages and dozens of injured civilians. Peter: man, I am not old enough for moral dilemmas this big

[@ItsAVolcano]

Once you actually get into his character, it's amazing Tombstone isn't a regular foe of Luke Cage. He's basically a highly successful warped mirror image of Cage; a poor African American man growing up in New York City and finding himself getting tougher and stronger as he grows up, looks around at the unjust system and decides to do something about it.

[@lavellelee5734]

You ever play cod advance warfare? This idea/plotline( or more of the idea the act man presented in his review) mixed with your comment would be noice

[@TheArklyte]

That's why Titan in Invincible is inspired by both?:D Problem is that mirror image characters don't always work great. You can't just have them for every character you have or it'll grow stale. As for why he wasn't used this way? Not all versions of Tombstone were black. In fact this was probably one of the first ones to be. So they just glossed over the fact that that might have also changed the characters background. /cough/ not exactly. It's not like white Tombstone would be coming from happy rich family. Hmm, thinking about it Marvel unintentionally makes all such villain motivations right. Hard to argue against "might makes right" and "get rich by any means" mentality when all your villains became criminals solely because poverty or being abused by society. Ah yes, let's beat them anyway!

[@fictiontheorizer4253]

The problem is that Tombstone isn't usually this powerful or influential. This is very much a adaptation, which has more in common with the Kingpin than Tombstone from the comics.

[@TheArklyte]

@@fictiontheorizer4253 yes and no. Usually only Kingpin is depicted this way, BUT logically this is what smaller bosses SHOULD be. Even if Tombstone is usually depicted as enforcer and not a boss. The thing is he and guys like Hammerhead are in completely separate league from street criminals, but he is far away from the level Kingpin operates upon(Fisk attacked SHIELD on multiple occasions, operates internationally and keeps Osborn aka Marvel's version of Boeing in his pocket). So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to expect the likes of Tombstone to be "management" on city scale level. While supervillains usually operate fully independently from criminal underworld and its hierarchy. It's not their world, they just come in for a paycheck.

[@ItsAVolcano]

@@fictiontheorizer4253 oddly enough this version feels like a natural evolution of the old super thug from the 90's cartoon, we're just seeing him way further down the line. Over the years in the comics Tombstone went from a super powered thug of the Kingpin to leader of his own street gang, to building up his gang into elite enforcers of the Kingpin and eventually into a proper mafia style operation. Plus, the way his powers work, he's constantly getting stronger and tougher so even his higher power level fits here if we assume he's just older than most versions we meet.

[@TheDevilkiller1]

A smart villain is dangerous, but a smart villain with the strength to back them up nightmare material.

Tombstone is a good example of this, using Time and Presence against Spiderman is a auto-loss for him from the start, he aint fast enough to stop the petty thugs and the supervillains at the same time and he doesnt have the Presence to be at two places at once.

My One Villainous Scene has to be Lex Luthor's campaign reveal to Question. The whole segment of Lex telling him that he spent billions on a campaign that was ENTIRELY FAKE to make Superman paranoid was genius writing. Especially when trying to discredit the JLU with hacking the Watchtower to fire on civilians, and with Question going off on Superman when he sees the tape.

@@matthewk822 It had to do with the rights of Kingpin for TV (cartoons/live action) and movies.

@@matthewk822 Honestly as much as I would've loved to have seen Kingpin on Spectacular Spiderman, I think re-imagining an underrated villain like Tombstone as a competent, calculating crime-lord works very well, despite his similarities to Kingpin. I honestly prefer his depiction on this show as it works quite well, even though Tombstone looks ominous to an obvious extent despite how respected he in this universe. Besides at least we have Kingpin as a crime lord on the 90s Animated Series and the Daredevil Netflix show, played absolutely phenomenally by Vincent D'onofrio.

Well that escalated quickly

[@SpoonDude]

“I can’t ever look the other way again” is one of my favorite lines from the show. I loved how this show subtly alluded to his origin, versus the more in your face flashbacks of the 90s animated series For a one villainous scene, my immediate pick is Joker revealing how he tortured Tim Drake and turned him into his “Joker junior”, ending his horrific monologue by revealing he knows Batman is Bruce Wayne. Mark Hamill’s animated Joker is arguably the definitive portrayal on TV and arguably all media outside comics, and it was chilling seeing him do something so damaging to the Bat family- especially since he’s had to be more restrained before because the animated series was targeted at kids.

[@crangejo]

Yo where is that Joker scene from?

[@Partyboy22]

@@crangejo Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Another subtle layer of genius to this scene: He never actually says he is the Big Man. For the entirety of the show Frederick Foswell, the person who was the Big Man in the comics, goes around doing suspicious things a bit like Norman Osborn. It's entirely possible that Foswell might have been revealed as the true Big Man had the show been allowed to continue, or perhaps some other twist.

[@MagnificantSasquatch]

He doesn’t, and that’s not any mistake. For the entirety of the show, he never once refers to himself as the Big Man, he specifically uses third person, just in case whoever he’s talking to is bugged or the like. After a ghost like Foswell took down the last Big Man, Tombstone takes no chances.

[@randallflagg3700]

Indeed, it's a bit like the *Arrow* season 5 twist with Vigilante & Prometheus. Comic book readers knowledge is used against them to lead them into a trap, and casuals (not using the word as an insult of course) can also enjoy the season without even knowing they're missing a layer.

[@alexandredesouza3692]

I must have watched this scene when I was 8 or something. It changed my life. Because until that point, everything was simple. To me, every episode of any cartoon had to end with the hero winning and the villain losing. The very thought of an ending like this had never crossed my mind. And after that I couldn't fathom Spider-Man ever coming close to defeating Tombstone. At that age, it was my introduction to nuanced writing, something I've been wanting to recreate ever since.

[@SirCowduck]

I feel like Eddie Brock first becoming Venom in this show would also make a great scene for one villainous scene. It's basically been built up over the entire series to that point, with Brock's relationship with Peter falling apart throughout the season. Then he sees Spidey try to kill the symbiote, which Brock sees as the last hope for getting back his job at the lab, which sets up the symbiote being able to show that *that* was Peter too... It's such a good payoff for his entire arc up to that point.

[@trla6505]

I love the last scene brook on his knees and saying "he only love me because I hated"

[@SirCowduck]

@@trla6505 Oh man. When I first watched that scene I misunderstood what he meant, and thought it meant there was hope for him to let go of Venom. Rewatching and realizing I had had it completely backwards that whole time made that scene crushingly sad for me.

[@parkerboy795]

Yeah. Another good one was Peter's last attempt to reason with him: "Don't do this bro!" "We're not brothers! Our parents may have died together but you had your precious aunt and uncle. We had no one. We've always been alone. Until now." "Then we're done talking."

[@captaincomic8678]

I have to admit, the idea of combining Tombstone and the Big Man was brilliant character design-wise, since the original Big Man's mask heavily resembled Tombstone's natural face.

I don't remember Tombstone being so quick in the comics and I was reading them back when Tombstone came into the super strength and durability. For a long time prior to that he was just an albino thug with no super powers. This quicker version also seems smarter and thus more menacing.

“I just took down the rhino, a pale guy in suit dose-“ *S M A C K*

[@Lawlietftw30]

This set up Tombstone as a perfect thematic villain for this particular hero. Peter is fighting someone bigger and stronger than him. The fight is proving futile both on the micro scale (the two of them in the room) and the macro scale (where Tombstone will just keep making problems for Spiderman so petty crooks can get away with it). He is staring defeat and futility in the face, and Tombstone makes an offer. An almost perfect offer, except Peter would have to betray the very core of his superhero journey. "All you have to remember is to look the other way on occasion. On any occasion I choose." "I can't ever look the other way again." The themes of the story continue to play out in the fight between the characters, and I love it. Tombstone isn't just a great villain, he's a great villain FOR Spiderman.

[@milkiassamuel780]

My One Villainous Scene, it would have to be *Mr Freeze and Batman's discussion scene* on Batman The Animated Series episode Heart of Ice where we immediately know everything about Freeze in a short compact scene, his motive, his tragic origin and how much of a poetic character he truly is, not to mention seeing a side to Batman that we never usually see.

[@tcrpgfan]

Let me guess. The part of Batman we never usually see here is the part where he was truly horrified and angered by what happened to Victor Fries and his wife Nora.

[@silverblade357]

I loved this interaction of Tombstone more than any version of Kingpin. Tombstone is more of a businessman than a crime boss. He exercises control over lesser criminals because chaos is bad for business. On some level, he understands and might even respects the hero's motivations, but knows the world is not so simple. Sadly, Spectacular was another brilliant show that got canned was too soon.

It would be a smart choice.

[@spideyviewer327]

Except Sony owns the rights to Spectacular itself. Marvel does own the rights to make Spidey cartoons, but they don't have the rights to that version of the character, so they can't continue it, while Sony has the rights to Spectacular, but they can't make Spidey cartoons.

[@steele2015]

My one villainous scene would easily be the hallway scene in starwars. Just becuase it shocases the power of the darth vader very well, and makes him absolutely terrifying to us the viewer. He calmly walks into the room and ignites his lightsaber, seemingly alredy knowing how this will end. As he advances, he isnt running down the hall trying to stop the plans, hes walking casually down the hallway, effortlessly dispatching every single rebel who gets near him, and some that dont. Hes taking his time, but hes not pulling any punches. Its not a fight, as you cant really hope to fight Darth Vader. Its a massacre, an execution, a butchery, and it instantly sets up who this character is, and exactly why we should fear him, and why the rebles are terrified of the emperors main enforcer.

He just had this terrifying quality to him that made me legitimately worried about Spidey. Tombstone's probably one of my favorite villains now, if only because of how well this series potrayed him.

[@nathansheehan3334]

Another great villain scene from this show came in the Season 2 Episode "Gangland" where the Green Goblin eliminated his competition and claim the title of the Big Man of Crime in one night. For most of the series he was just seen as a crazy mad man who enjoys making life hell for Tombstone and Spider-Man, but we didn't think he capable of doing anything big or smart. That all changed where in secret he summons the big crime bosses of New York(Tombstone, Silvermaine, and Doc Ock) to one place, then he tricks Hammerhead to start a fight between them, and once the dust settled no one was left but him to claim the throne which shows that he has a crafty mind behind all that laughter.

[@jeremycrouch4356]

My one villainous scene would be from an anime called Overlord. There are a number of moments you could choose from. I have them all listed below. Some still sound a bit strange if you haven't seen the show however, and the main reason there are so many is that the main characters are the bad guys. Most of them are far more evil than anyone else in the series. I'd greatly recommend it, but know that some of the fanservice scenes are a tad chringy at times, and it is incredibly dark the further you get into it. Season one, the main character's first experience with the people of the new world, his interaction with the people they worked for, the Dance of Death. Season two, the Royal Procession, Cocytus vs the Lizardmen army, the lesson to overcome the fear of Death, what it means to be unworthy of life, the proof of loyalty, the Eight Fingers, Zero vs Sebas, Mare finds the most important person in the house, Demierge vs the Blue Roses, Explaining the Plan.

After coming back to NY, he tells flash he was on drugs while playing, he got them further and Flash injuried himself to win the championship. Whether it was a sense of integrity or for the girl he tells everyone about it and the championship is taken away. Everyone still respects Flash, and he's even grown to respect himself, but Harry is now a parriah, he cost the team everything they sacrificed, and Harry feels alone more than ever. He places that burden on Gwen, who doesn't feel the same, it crushes him and he begins to use his father's "death" as tool to keep her.

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

4:26 Fun fact if Tombstone feels similar to the Kingpin in this that's because he was written to be because at the time Sony didn't share the rights with the Kingpin with Marvel because Fox had full rights over them because at the time it was ruled at the rights to the Kingpin went under the rights to Daredevil (you may remember Fox using him in the 2003 Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck everyone loved). So of course that had to create a substitution for him and it did work with Tombstone. Also I might add that if you are questioning why Kingpin is in Into the Spider-Verse I actually don't know the answer to that question and I can only assume (but keep in mind that this isn't fact this is purely speculation) that Sony asked Marvel for the rights and they allowed them or that the ruling changed and it was ruled he is under the rights to both Daredevil and Spider-Man.

[@mr.brightside2665]

I think that was tombstones way of saying "If you're good at something never do it for free "

[@antaresmaelstrom5365]

"I've been called many names, my favourite is tombstone." Me: "I'm partial to Zima Blue."

[@dariusbrock2713]

My favorite villainous scene has to be from this show itself but involving the Green Goblin. He systematically used spider-man to take down the crime bosses one by one only to swoop in and fill the vacuum and become the only Bigman of crime in NYC. Manipulated hammerhead into betraying tombstone, funded the sinister 6 as norman osborn only to have them destroy the competition along with themselves and ofc spider-man himself to eliminate the loose ends like Tombstone. The most meticulous and cunning plot ever, really showed Osborn's intelligence as a businessman and his ruthless drive for power. He did win the war for a brief period until he had to fake his death and escape

Trigun: The introduction of Legato Bluesummers. Still chilling to this day.

[@tabiusthompson8101]

This is one of my favorite scenes of this Series .

[@jmmproductions6741]

Tombstone was really the one character that frightened me when I watched this show as a kid. Sure, Venom was more scary, but when Tombstone stood up, then just starting beating the crap out of Spidey like nothing, I had an "Oh shit" moment.

[@almostshawn3230]

What I love if this reveal is I assumed "the Big Man" would always be Kingpin. And then Tombstone shows up.

[@CormDaCrow]

Wait Tombstone and 2004 Joker are voice by the same person!? Jesus that guy has a massive amount of range

[@protocol4043]

1:41 He got back slapped. No spider sense helping him there.

[@IftiAlam1999]

Tombstone as a mob boss is way cooler and menacing than a petty criminal and a biker gang leader.

[@datsunracer9378]

Would love to see Tombstone in a live action Spiderman movie.

[@blackknight3699]

My favorite scene is when thanos explains what happened to titan the music and lines such a perfect moment ❤️🧡💛💙💜💚

[@Narratorway]

It is unsettling how good KMR's Keith David impersonation is in this show.

[@educatedlaziness3268]

It's a niche role that not many people today would know him for but whenever I hear Kevin's voice I immediately go back to Baldur's Gate, and his role as the main antagonist, Sarevok

[@OceanicManiac]

I knew i recognized that voice, im playing through BG:EE right now for the first time, pretty good so far, but the time it takes to level up is a bit annoying

[@airay053]

God I miss this show

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

I love Spectacular Spiderman it is amazing but it's only 2 seasons and doesn't feel complete. Also although I love this show my favorite Spiderman show is TAS from the 90s...

[@geraltofrivia3242]

Yep nothing beats kingpin in the 90’s show he is the peak of over the top done right.

[@Protocol36]

Tombstone is so good in the show! Awesome video as always, man!

[@tenkenroo]

The gangland episode of spectacular Spider-Man was perhaps the best Spider-Man media ever

[@raymond-reviews]

This show to this day has my favorite version of Tombstone.

[@ichigo11220]

This scene was what made tombstone more formidable than kingpin for me

[@JYDY-if5rf]

Tombstone and hammerhead

[@jorgeochoa12]

Is it Kevin Michael Richardson? I swear I can hear Keith David in that voice

[@mariomascot]

Theres a 100% chance thats Keith David

[@spideraty1529]

You should also do a green goblin spectaclular Spider-Man one villainous scene

[@ihavespoken9871]

2:38 Thank you so much for pointing that out! Kevin Michael Richardson is such an underrated and talented voice actor and deserves so much more credit for his work.

[@Dakeeon]

Spectacular Spider-Man is the best Spider-Man show if you say otherwise you're biased.

[@josesosa3337]

Is that the voice of keith david for tomb stone?

[@mariomascot]

I've seen Community season 6, I know Keith when I hear him. Thats fucking Keith David,

[@benmosley3190]

That fight scene in the sewers was amazing (or Spectacular)!

[@siaszirthe3334]

My Villianous moment is a bit unusual: I would have to pick a scene from Nescapepro’s SCP series where Site Director Alice kills Laura (Cory’s love interest) and then showing a tape of the killing while framing it like Laura was still alive. The real beauty behind the scene is that at least for me, I too thought that Laura was going to be somehow rescued and the two lovers would reunite. I felt the floor fall out from beneath Cory as the revelation of the ending of the tape had. Though karma would come back around for Alice (being experimented on by the Twins), I think that it was obvious that a bit of Cory’s spark had died as the series went on.

[@edelfelix7333]

Isnt this a minecraft Series or can you sent me a Link

[@siaszirthe3334]

@@edelfelix7333 It is, here’s the link to the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLnDzh0ppSA-cjfMvFBc2cjb2fYufUyWUy It might have everything I’m not sure, it’s been a while since I’ve gone through it so there might be some more episode that came out that aren’t included

[@siaszirthe3334]

The particular scene happens during the end of the SCP 105 episode and concluded during the 040 episode

[@_thomas1031]

I hadn't expected A SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN VILLIAN in this series! A pleasant surprise 😆👌

[@griffgileatsbread9500]

Kevin Michael Richardson does an amazing job! But Kieth David has also done a great job voicing tombstone in Spectacular Spiderman too. Both amazing voice actors who can give some of the most intense performances one can find.

[@davidcase8635]

He's no Wilson Fisk, but Tombstone makes a good Kingpin. In fact, this version of Tombstone kinda reminds me of Tobias Whale from DC's Black Lightning show.

[@jorgeperez2872]

HOOOOOOLY... I just love this Spiderman series.

[@austinmorrison6953]

They fused Tombstone with the Kingpin to make a truly memorable and threatening villain. I think the last portrayal I loved as much as this version was the PS4 Tombstone. And yeah he gave an epic boss fight and was a key player in part of that game’s plot, he still wasn’t as…shall we say refined or as eloquent as this variant. This Tombstone really does live up to his name as The Big Man.

[@TheArklyte]

"Spectacular Spiderman is the definite Spiderman for me." Doesn't even have a crossover episodes with X-Men and Fantastic Four. Pathetic. P.S.: :P

[@Adamax93]

Spectacular Spider-Man is the best Spider-Man cartoon. Hands down.

[@d-brothers3112]

You're really going to leave out Goro in Richardson's greatest accomplishments?

[@radrno7]

I like how this Tombstone is a crime boss compared to all his other counterparts. Basically it's like we already meet him as a level 100 mobster, where as other iterations keep him at the level 10. If there ever came to be a story showing Tombstone rise to power, facing low level thugs like the Enforcers to the top of the Maggia mafia, with the likes of Hammerhead and the ultimate head of New York underground world, Kingpin... that would be awesome.

[@JeremyBelpoisX]

Tombstone was voiced by Keith David in the pilot, but KMR took over (as he was more affordable I think, most likely) but in this scene, he reached that gravitas that Goliath is known for. KMR was always a gem for me, but this took it above and beyond.

[@christopherauzenne5023]

I really love how this show interconnected the villains but didn’t ignore their motivations/backstories and such. Vulture, electro and lizard were very individual and unrelated but they showed tombstone a way to get Spider-Man distracted from his organized crime and that Norman role could aid him. Sandman and rhino are more petty crooks so having them be test subjects works without taking away too much from their stories, then to cover his tracks Norman sabotages doc ock/creates the goblin to sever ties with the crime syndicate. (Then later the jackal is introduced who starts aiding creating supervillains for his own scientific persuits or having mysterio, the tinkerer and chameleon be a team because their methods of villainy mesh well) It’s really brilliant

[@deaf-tomcat]

i THOUGHT i knew that voice from somewhere!!!!

[@puffpuffpassmako]

One thing that is never pointed out is Peter's spider sense doesnt go off before getting smacked across the room. Thats cause Peter didnt see Tombstone as a threat whatsoever, only saw him as a greedy crime boss that hides in his tower. Really shows how Tombstone hides his physical attributes. He doesnt boast about it or make a big deal of it. He just smacks Spidey across the room and fades him into the ground in seconds without saying a word. Really love that Tombstone is so good at keeping his cover, he tricks Peters spider sense

[@mihsan660]

spectacular spider-man wooo

[@JS-hw8ve]

He was a fake out. I don't know why they did it, but they had built up a Kingpin reveal, then they gave us "Lonnie Lincoln". This iteration of him was good... because he was just Kingpin in a different skin, showing that what's important is the character and not the details. That's what a lot of fans/readers don't get: that it's the essence of the character that matters. Lots of readers hated Riri Williams, saying she was no Tony Stark. LOL... had they ever read Tony's stories? She was almost too much like him. She was brash and over confident, she was fiercely independent, she refused to hear the word "no", and her attitude affected her relationships with everyone around her. Gee... sounds just like Tony. Now she just has to spend half her adventures cleaning up her own messes and face an addiction. Maybe they could have her grow a little Clark Gable mustache, or go full Tom Selleck, and then they'd see how much Riri and Tony were alike.

[@firelord4662]

Spectacular Spider-Man was so much then ultimate Spider-Man that show is so goofie n cheesy

[@zaxbitterzen2178]

I mean s%^t I absolutely hate being poor sign me up.

[@AndrewAce.]

I assumed Tombstone would be a chump. I assumed wrong...
