Battle Within: The Spider-Man 3 Thread (Spoilers Ahead!)

Thanks for the info.

No prob.

I checked my local Wal-Mart store earlier today and thought that the action figures were already released. But it turns out that only the walkie-talkies for Venom, Spider-Man, Sandman, and The New Goblin are out, along with some Hot Wheel cars.

Can't wait until the 24th though. I'm aiming to get a Venom, Sandman, New Goblin, Lizard, and symbiote Spidey.

Walkie Talkies, of course.

 

[muppetwriter]

They were actually kind of cool, especially the one package that includes both Spidey (in the red/blue costume) and Venom. My only complaint is why does Venom look so purple in both the toys and the picture books. The guy's black, not purple.

Influence from "Ultimate Spider-Man" perhaps? Is it just me or do Marvel movies seem influenced by the "Ultimate" comics some times?

 

[muppetwriter]

Yes, they do a lot. Much of what's going into the Eddie Brock character for the third film is based on his "Ultimate" character, even throwing in the "Jr." part.

Hey, I watched Spiderman 1 last night again. Did anyone notice that Eddie is referenced in that?

 

[muppetwriter]

Yeah, I caught it a long time ago, back when I was sitting in the movie theater watching it for the first time.

Eddie Brock is also referenced in the novelization of the first movie, having a bit of a cameo and mentioned by his full name. J. Jonah Jameson unwittingly makes an ironic allusion to Venom by screaming "Would it kill you to get a decent suit!?".

They say a cameo role was filmed with an actor named R.C. Everbeck set to play Brock, but was unfortunately cut during production.

Here's some marvelous pics that some members on SHH! had put up from the Spider-Man 3 video game:

The game looks as good as the movie! Are those in game or cut scenes?
