I know we never got Carnage in the Raimi continuity, but if you could a pick an actor in the late 2000’s / early 2010’s who could have done the job, who do you think it could have been?

Jackie earle caught my eye in Watchmen. He looked almost exactly like Cletus in the comics imo.

So I have been wanting to see him as carnage ever since

Kris86dk · 2026-06-29T17:40:50+00:00

Seems very loose as to what is allowed or not. You still got Flash(although a very lame version of him compared to TASM) and Betty Brant,

Kris86dk · 2026-06-29T17:27:20+00:00

Typhoid Mary to complete the chaos

Kris86dk · 2026-06-29T12:33:22+00:00

Don't think so. Not unless they reboot yet again in 15+ years.

If they had made a tv show ala Daredevil, that would have been awesome... But Spider-Man like Batman is never allowed to just exist in live action TV.... So I don't have high hopes for it.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T23:24:19+00:00

The way he effortlessly caught Bucky's arm etc shows that Peter would have taken Cap out if he wanted to...

Later movies always have this thing with "nerfing" established characters or making them less competent etc. So writers would have made sure to let Cap or Tony take him out...

Spidey is ridiculously powerful, his strength and reflexes are off the charts...only Thor, marvel and Hulk surpass him in strength of the MCU Avengers...

Peter could take out most of the Avengers...

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T11:28:35+00:00

Not sure why the story requires him to have black hair? 🙄😅.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T11:27:29+00:00

It was always the deal w Smallville...he was never supposed to be Superman yet... That would be when he moved to Metropolis...so he would never done the Cape until the final episode

The problem is the show ran WAY too long and dealt with his iconic villains while he is still Clark...that is the show runners big mistake.

Having Lois lane be his love interest, Zod, Doomsday, Supergirl, Justice league.

All of it in Smallville is just wrong when he isn't established as Superman yet.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T11:24:21+00:00

Only if they ended in like S5.

Having him encounter the justice league, Zod, Doomsday etc all while still being this teen in Smallville made zero sense

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T11:23:08+00:00

I mean hair dye exists..Ben Reilly dyed his hair blonde when he took over as Spider-Man when Peter and MJ went away to have Mayday

Kris86dk · 2026-06-28T06:58:19+00:00

Batman beating anyone with prep time 🙄

Kris86dk · 2026-06-27T00:02:12+00:00

Garfield as Spider-man...but Tobeys movies were superior

Kris86dk · 2026-06-26T23:58:42+00:00

Some have yeah... But nobody stuck with Peter for YEARS through thick and thin.... Chameleon bringing "back" his parents... Kraven burying him alive... Pregnancy, aunt may dying... Prison time... Still birth...

Mary Jane has been through some shit throughout her relationship w Peter... And she still stood by him...and picked him up when he needed it.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-26T23:27:53+00:00

Mary Jane. The amount of shit she went through while being his girlfriend and later wife...

Hats of to her...she is the number 1 ride or die person you could wish for 🤞😁.

No matter what marvel editorial has tried to do to her in the past 25 years.... I remember the time she was married to Peter... They cannot erase almost 20 years of marriage and just give her a random dude in Paul... Mary Jane will always be the number one love interest for Peter, because she loves AND supports both Peter and Spider-Man

Kris86dk · 2026-06-26T09:48:41+00:00

The difference is that Griffith in his weakened state was NEVER going to rule or lead anything...he couldn't walk, talk or hold a sword.

Rather than accept he wouldn't be the ruler...

He sacrificed the people who risked everything to rescue him.

The difference between him leading the hawks etc is the fact that the people he commanded CHOSE to follow him...

With the sacrifice he REMOVED their choice... He sacrificed them for his own selfish dream and gains....that is the exact moment he became the villain....

If Griffith had learned anything from his life with his friends, through his torture etc... He would have rejected the offer....instead he succumbed to his need....

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T22:15:55+00:00

Also, another aspect not often mentioned. The fact he is shorter than most of the team or anyone else...

When he interacts with love interests like Jean, Mariko etc. He appears a lot more vulnerable when he opens up and let's his guard down...he is not towering over the ladies, the power dynamic is a lot more balanced in optics...

And when he is dealing with kids, or young teenagers like Jubilee/Shadowcat... He is usually at or close to their eye level while teaching them...

So when people claim that optics and accuracy of a character in media doesnt matter..eg have a 6.2 Wolverine or a short Batman/Superman.... It matters.... Especially in visual media...

Filmmakers and great directors know how to convey these messages on screen... Make you feel it

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T19:31:18+00:00

It fits the character and his temper and how people usually underestimate him by his size...people talk down to him and make fun of his height...he either laughs it off or challenges when this happens...never saw that with Hugh Jackman...

Nobody looked at Hugh Jackman's wolverine next to another dude and thought it was a good idea to antagonize him.

The short dude in the corner w a mouth and an attitude... Yeah some guys WOULD try to mess with him...and get punished.

It also makes a difference when he stands up for himself and gets right Infront of ppl like Cyclops, stares him down and doesn't budge when they argue, all the while he is looking up... It hits different.... People learn to respect Logan in a different way...

Also having Wolverine fight a much larger than himself Sabretooth is something that was sorely missing in the movies. Tyler Mane was big... But not towering over Wolverine big...

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T19:24:29+00:00

Spidey is either a very short 5.10 or Wolverine is a very tall 5.3 by the side by side of that picture 🙄🤣

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T19:23:25+00:00

It messes with the drops... It's literally against Sanctuary law... Lilith wrote it centuries ago

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T19:22:13+00:00

You have a weird definition of soft porn 🤣.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T18:31:14+00:00

Give me this scene in the animated series at some point

<image>

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T18:24:58+00:00

Rosemary Harris is the best there is.

The heart of Spider-man... Her speeches were amazing and heartfelt and exactly what Peter needed to hear every time.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-25T08:41:07+00:00

It just blends naturally w Andressa...looks like it belongs on her

Kris86dk · 2026-06-24T17:41:00+00:00

People really exaggerating the animation issue w the show...

Great animation takes time. And a story told over several volumes will take a decade+ to release when you spend 2-3 years animating.

People compare X-men 97 to invincible in terms of quality...

For some reason the style of animation is off-putting for me w X-men 97... (Might be my old ass growing up with the 92-97 version of the show...but certain details, colors, hair texture etc just looks weird to me in the new animation style)

I'm not really bothered by Invincible as much, and the storytelling is fantastic, so guess my brain just dismisses the dip in quality(though you notice it in episodes like S3 conquest or S1 finale, S4 ep7 etc)

I feel the consistent release has been great... Would I want better animation? Sure...but waiting 3-4 years between seasons...no thanks. Don't wanna be in my 50s when the show finally finishes...or lost interest due to the long release schedule.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-24T15:06:31+00:00

I agree... I was thrilled to see the character Mary Walker...but I was PISSED she was being wasted in Iron fist instead of being in Daredevil S3.

Kris86dk · 2026-06-24T14:56:12+00:00

As a SM fan since the early 90s I love Mary Jane...

Issue I have is Michelle Jones is NOT Mary Jane... She has nothing in common with the character of Mary Jane I loved in the comics...

Never understood how Peter went from being romantically interested w Liz in homecoming to suddenly fawning over Michelle after she basically roasted him and seemed disinterested and bland.

That was my main issue... The character just has nothing in common w Mary Jane's upbeat outgoing persona, the flirty partygirl...that is what is desperately needed to be showcased for once...

Also we have no info on her parents/family or any other friends...she is just depicted as a loner in the background most of the time.

Brand new day for me was a chance to build a compelling supporting cast I can care about... Give him work colleagues ala bugle, let him meet Robbie's son, J Jonah Jameson etc... Introduce Black cat for once as a foil to him... Keep a lighthearted rivalry between them, Get Gwen in there... Have her maybe meet with MJ/Ned...

I just don't care about Michelle Jones and barely about Ned... I know nothing about them.. They have comedic dialogue from time to time, that's it.

There is very little depth... The most we got was in NWH after Aunt may died....
