[@TF_Tony]

One great thing about Dr Octopus' arms being puppeteered instead of CG animated is that their movement feeds back into the actor they're attached to, which in turn gives them weight and makes them appear real and dangerous. When they are CG, they appear more floaty and weightless.

[@Quast]

Ufff yeah, still can't watch the fist three movies because each time actors get animated they fly about hollow styrofoam muppets.

[@MattJett]

Let's hope they continue to do that in the new upcoming Spiderman movie with Doc Oct in it. I'm worried they'll just CG the fuck out of everything leaving out the wonderful Sam Raimi practical SFX.

[@cinnamonzkiewr9923]

Yup ..but that's what alfred molina isn't worried about now is the cgi .. coz the puppets are heavy for his back ..that's what he said on interview with willem defoe and jamie foxx ...

[@BigeuleLP]

@@MattJett doubt it. In the trailer it already looks like the arms are going to be only cg

[@SpaceCase1701]

And also having the practical effects as a reference probably helped the animators to think about how the tentacles should move to sell the illusion better, even if there were limitations to it.

Sam nailed it with the "I'd like to see your face while your stopping a train." Real life superheroes would not look cool 100% of the time

[@ctakitimu]

It would pretty much look like me putting all my effort into anything. There's no separate "Train stopping face" that happens only in that scenario. Toby just has a dumb 'best effort' face. Love this movie though!

[@MerelvandenHurk]

Exactly, I kind of like that he's just giving it his all regardless of how it looks. Makes it more authentic than Captain America grabbing the rail from below to stop Bucky from escaping in the helicopter just so they could shoot a juicy bicep curl. All these superhero movies give the impression that those huge amounts of effort wouldn't cause your face to distort. So yeah, I appreciated Maguire's silly face because it's finally some realism.

[@asdfffs]

There's never a scene of a superhero having diarrhea so he can't fight crime, or sitting on the toilet right when things are happening so they have to choose between wiping and saving someone. Or imagine if batman had a cold so he'd sound even more dumb, I'd wanna see that

[@MerelvandenHurk]

@@asdfffs That sounds amazing XD And yeah, while I can absolutely understand that's it's not compelling tv to have superheroes go through the day-to-day of going to the bathroom or shaving etc., often stuff is written in such a way that it's extremely unlikely they'd have the time or opportunity to do that stuff. Does Captain America shave every time before he goes out the door? Does Black Widow get regular haircuts so her hair doesn't change much over longer periods of time? If they're on a mission that takes all day, where do they go to the bathroom? Are they taking clean underwear with them or do they all have horrible infections? Why aren't their teeth falling out or is there an allotted moment during the day where they're all brushing their teeth? So many questions! XD

[@Gawillamon]

Plus I really would like to see that. Wren would look hilarious.

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

I always liked Toby McGuire's strange faces when Spider-Man's mask comes off, as it's more realistic than looking cool while your arms are being dislocated and it shows the importance of a full face mask for a crime fighter, especially for a teenager

Not many people seem to talk about this, but one of the biggest differences is how the hero from Spiderman 2 doesn't just take the pain. He screams!

Raimi knows something about CG. He moves the camera and orders the shots so the CG is always cemented in each scene. This original trilogy is so good, even the roughest effects still look acceptable compared to some stuff that comes out today

[@vanne-necashionofbread9095]

One thing I realise is that he always cut to a close up with practical suits on between the cgi sequence, this help make it less noticable, while in mcu case they make the scenes fully cgi and didn't use close ups as much which made the action less easy to follow

Yep, you are nowhere near alone with that opinion. Especially with all the new discussion about after NWH, more people are saying how much they loved those movies and more people are going back and seeing that they are still good, or at least, nowhere near as terrible as they thought.

[@mairenoates8294]

i totally get you. tasm2 was the first big superhero movie that i ever watched in theaters when i was 12 and i became obsessed with those movies because of it. i always loved andrew’s version of spider-man and his overall portrayal (visually) in his movies but always, too, felt so disoriented by all of the hate that his spider-man received until very recently. i also just rewatched the sequel a couple weeks ago and, with more mature eyes, completely recognized the dog trash writing and obnoxiously convoluted plot it suffered from. But i still deeply enjoyed watching it. I’m choosing to settle on the conclusion that this movie consists of some of the most polarizing aspects in cinema history. The performance that garfield gave was so unbelievably good that it couldn’t be ruined by the trash dialogue, his onscreen chemistry with emma stone was too real to not get hopelessly invested in, and the visual craftsmanship was just so grounded in reality that it made the most outlandish superhero feats fill me with awe rather than disbelief. everyone doing the heavy lifting in this franchise did their jobs perfectly while people that were giving directions went completely off the rails. after seeing some of the scenes that were cut from the final version, i honestly wouldn’t have wanted to see where this franchise was heading before being cut short, but i did want more of andrew’s spidey. his version, in the most specific sense, deserved better.

[@ParzivalTheThird]

@@mairenoates8294 I totally agree. TASM 2 was the first big movie I remember being super excited for, and back then it totally paid off. I was obsessed with Electro at that age, and when I re-watched it recently, I wholeheartedly expected it to be a pile of garbage that I had been looking at through nostalgic lenses, but what surprised me was that it was somehow even better than I remembered. The way the cinematography, the visual effects, the art design, soundtrack and sound design is so meticulously crafted astounds me now just as much as it astounded me as a kid, and I now see more clearly than ever that that movie was the first spark which led me to a love of filmmaking which I now pursue as a career.

I admit that it looks too over the top and witht the flaws mentioned here at around 11:00, but i did enjoy it.

[@Serenity_Dee]

another fun thing: there haven't been any elevated train tracks in Manhattan since 1973, but every New Yorker I know who has seen it completely forgot about this at least for the duration of the sequence; it's so engaging and it sells the sequence so well that you don't even care about the geography

[@nuyabuisness7526]

I think it is more because the movie was going for the 60's esque vibe from the comics. Best example I can think of for that is the Daily Bugle, all the colors are simplified, the architecture is art deco, even the glass in the windows is hazy and unclear like an old building that was made in the 20's.

[@devonwelch8014]

One thing that goes unnoticed that I think makes Doc Ock one of the greatest comic villains put to screen is that Raimi made the man and the machine feel like two different characters. The tentacles have so much personality separate from Otto that you can almost hear the internal dialogue between the two in your head. Just expert filmmaking from an under appreciated master of his craft.

[@RaptorJesus]

It does a lot to sell Otto's conflict. Without being able to "feel" that "dialogue" his internal struggle would just seem like angsty "woe is me" bullshit. Instead, due to Molina's masterful acting and the acting of the tentacles themselves, you genuinely understand some of what is going on inside him. He *genuinely* isn't wholly in control. Mix that with the glimpse we get of Otto's relationship with his wife, and how he feels responsible for her death, and suddenly everything he does is no longer villainy. It's entirely reasonable from his point of view and it's heart breaking. Molina's Doc Ock was never an evil man, he was a loving husband and idealist who had everything but his work taken from him. That was all he had left. So of course he let it consume him.

In the behind-the-scenes of Spider-Man 2 the VFX supervisor talked about how they were always going for a 50/50 split between practical and CG effects. As for the train scene, it was one of the very first things that Raimi had in mind for the movie - and the very first they started prepping up for. Not overusing CG, having a clear vision and enough time to prep to actually realize said vision are why Spider-Man 2's VFX hold up so well to this day - and why the train fight is still a top contender for best superhero action scene of all time.

[@wirelesmike73]

As cheesy as Sam Raimi can be sometimes, he is a master storyteller when it comes to visual representation. That tentacle scene is one of the best scenes EVER put to film. I saw a recent breakdown on another channel that did a brilliant analysis of it and described it (correctly, I might add) as "Bloodless Horror". Brutally violent, shocking, and terrifying without ever going over the top and maintaining a "PG" rating. The level of storytelling in that short scene is some of the best, clearest, concise, and grounded in all of filmdom. You never, for one second, lose track of where any of the characters or action in the scene are in the room. There are so many little 'setups' and 'payoffs' throughout, and in a very real sense, every frame is a painting. Every aspect, from the lighting, angles, audio and sound design, to the visual FX are nearly perfect, especially considering that the vast majority of what you see is captured on set, in-camera. I couldn't help grinning maniacally like some cinematic villain sitting in front of a screen in his volcanic lair as I watch, wholeheartedly agreeing that it is one of my all-time favorite scenes in any movie, ever.

While Andrew's suit looked very good due to the contours and wrinkles, I feel the reason Tobey's suit really still worked despite being skintight is due to the fact that there was just so much sheer texture in the suit. From the silvery lines to the material of choice. (Looks really really weird as compared to the other Spidey suits, but within the movie, it looks great) As compared to Tom's Spidey suit, who just feels out of this world and as ethereal as Electro. (Tom as an actor, in my opinion really nails the hero/nerd balance, suit still too CGI and fake looking tho)

[@sebastianlarsson6053]

Tobey suit didnt even work when the movie came out, for real look at reviews from 2001. The suit looks terrible.

Can we establish that Tobey’s Spidey films have the best VFX in the early to mid 2000s ever and Andrew’s Spidey sequel having the best opening scene ever. The VFX for Tom’s Spidey films do tend to look real and fake at the same time. The Nick Fury scene in Far From Home is the most hilariously shot sequence, just green screen a man, then comp him into a scene, Just the sheer meta humour with Mysterio, The dream sequence, The water effects, The MCU is really showing us some great VFX and if not sometimes lazy writing that Wren states about Spider-Man 2 2 (TASM2).

Spidey films only fall over when there's a human face on a CG character. What I love about Mysterio is that the mocap suit integrates the comic book suits iconography. I really liked Mysterio, and despite being apparently a one and done character, I like how he's basically the reason why the real multiverse explodes, which is super ironic given the illusions he chooses in this movie. His impact on the MCU is legitimately massive and a neat reverse flip of Iron Man who started the last phase of movies. It's such a nice twist of irony, where a 'fraud' of a villain actually presents the biggest existential threat to the hero and has now done infinitely more damage to the universe than Thanos ever could. Mysterio is arguably the biggest pain in the ass Spidey has ever faced. I just really liked everything about this take on Mysterio.

That has got to be some of the coolest fucking shit I've ever heard. Thank you Niko for teaching me something new. Edit: in defense of Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man 2, that film is a genuine pleasure to watch. The way certain scenes were shot like in particular the opening sequence or the first "fight" with Electro were so damn cool and fun to watch that regardless of the bad writing and all that it looks, kind of *amazing*.

[@WilliamButtlicker]

Honestly, you're one of the few people that I've seen who appreciates both Raimi films and The Amazing films. The TASM movies are special to me because of Andrew's portrayal and the slo-mo scenes that showed his Spidey senses were amazing to witness but they have shitty writing no doubt whereas Spider-Man 2 will be one of the best superhero movies of all time. It really understood the character a lot better.

[@jordanfelt5978]

@@WilliamButtlicker oh yeah I feel that my dude, it's extremely rare to find somebody like that. So it's a pleasure to speak with you, and I completely agree, fundamentally Sam Raimi really cared about the character Spider-Man and was able to pull off a damn good movie as well. Spider-Man 2 in my opinion is essentially perfect as far as movies go. Like how much that movie resonated with me as a kid I probably couldn't realistically describe. Aside from saying that it just makes you want to be a better person and Spider-Man is very inspiring. And I actually have heard some information talking about how Mark Webb wanted to make the movies pretty different from how they turned out. Some corporate BS got in the way though. That doesn't change the fact that those movies are really damn fun to watch. That scene where he was saving the people on the stairs in Times Square blew my fucking mind. The Slow Mo in that moment was so well done and so cool. And this is probably unpopular but I really don't care at all about the Disney Marvel franchise version of Spider-Man. Because just like all of the other characters in their Universe there are no consequences. Nothing bad actually happens to the characters, at least not anything that would have a lasting impact. And we know to expect that because it's Disney and they only care about making a franchise. Like they obviously don't care to understand Spider-Man as a character. And it sucks, like I wish that they would care to make more films that feel like they have an actual impact. That's just me though, does that make sense?

[@WilliamButtlicker]

@@jordanfelt5978 Exactly, I mean that'd have been the first time we'd have seen the Sinister Six in live action if Webb had got his third film. I still think that just like Ben Affleck's Batman, Andrew deserved more time with Spider-Man. He had genuine love for the character and he looked more comfortable to me than both Tobey and Tom. I hope we see him in No Way Home. And about the MCU version, I know where you're coming from because it's already a pretty big universe with loads of character and sometimes it does feel that the character of Spider-Man isn't getting the charm that it deserves in the MCU. Homecoming was a good film ngl but Far From Home kinda irked me too. And I'm a huge fan of the MCU so that is saying something. But atleast we're getting to see three different versions of Spider-Man in live action so that's a win. And I hope No Way Home serves that question of the impact that has been missing from this version. Whatever the case, It's a good time to be a Spidey fan lol.

@@WilliamButtlicker oh yeah I agree with what you said about Marc Webb Spider-Man, I actually really liked Andrew Garfield as Spiderman. He was goofy as hell and it was enjoyable to watch and of course the romance in those films was great. As far as the MCU goes, I'm excited for the upcoming no way home for the same reasons you are basically. I just don't know if I trust Disney to do it right. Outside of that pretty much all their films feel like the same thing now, over and over again with different characters in my opinion. The movies literally all feel the same and they're not interesting anymore, we already know to expect that there are no real consequences for their characters.

The part in the 8 minute mark where they discuss the action feeling disparate from the rest of the film is why I think directors that are action guys first are the best. Chad Stahelski and David Leitch of John Wick/Deadpool/Atomic Blonde, Mad Max director George Miller, James Gunn, their action scenes _always_ feels artistically tied to the rest of the film. Taika Waititi too. I'm not sure if he's completely involved with the action choreo, but some of the most iconic scenes in Thor Ragnarok (the gopro shot of Mjolnir flying and smacking fire demons, the God of Thunder scene on the bridge) were allegedly part of his pitch reel to Marvel Studios, so it was his idea at least. I hope that for the rest of the new MCU directors, they take a stronger involvement in the action even if the studio says "our previz/stunt guys have this, just worry about the talk-y bits."
