rethinking about Doc Oc’s villainy reveal in Spiderverse again
it wasn’t just the fact that she was gender-swapped that made her reveal so surprising, but her whole vibe made her villainy reveal so much more shocking because the combination of her wrinkles, her crows feet, her soft smile, her wacky hair, her huge nerdy glasses, and her general appearance as a punk Ms Frizzle remix, it was all the more extraordinary that this well established spiderveser villain didn’t immediately look like a villain, and yet when she revealed her identity it was so obvious, completely subverting our standards for what ‘villainy’ is, so when the tentacles came out of this kind-looking lesbotic sex symbol, we all just went
they got us. the art and design team played us like a violin in a Niccolò Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in B Minor and we ain’t even mad
Doc Ock’s reveal was the best villain reveal ever since Toy Story 2′s Stinky Pete
I also love the strong implication (though never outright stated) that Doc Ock and Aunt May have some kind of history together, just like so many good villains in a rogues gallery have some kind of tie to their nemesis.
Peter: “Let me guess, your friends call you Doc Ock?”
Doc Ock: “My friends call me Liv. My enemies call me Doc Ock.”
Later, when Doc Ock smashes through the door of the Parker house:
May: “Oh, great. It’s Liv.”
I loved the shit out of that because it’s revealed in the basement lair that May is a genius engineer herself and helped RIPeter design his gear, including the suits and the webshooters.
They were probably colleagues, you guys.
Oh my god, they were colleagues.
They were absolutely more than colleagues– maybe they started out as colleagues, or maybe May learned a lot of those engineering skills from Liv– but they were ultimately lovers. Doc Ock and Aunt May have a romantic history in the comics (they almost got married), and that moment in the film was undoubtedly a nod to that romantic history.
They
WHAT
vvv
The artist is M Lee Lunsford
also not to detract from the potential romantic relationship between liv and may but i wanna point out another aspect of livs villainy that i dont see mentioned.
She knew that people from other universes would essentially be ripped apart atom by atom very painfully AND STILL was going to bring back fisks family. She KNEW that fisk would watch his family be torn from him once again if the collider worked and still went with it. She is the absolute most evil character in the film and she is the best.
apparently the dallas police dept set up an app where u can anonymously submit videos of ppl breaking the law so they can find and arrest them and kpop stans are spamming it with fancams to the point that it crashed… can we get 100k likes for our soldiers
for those asking if this is real. as far as i can tell it is. they’re also spamming the app store with negative reviews
This is like when ice tried to set up a hotline for people to anonymously report people they think might be illegal immigrants and what really happened is that they reported seeing extraterrestrials
YOURE TELLING ME THIS IS WHAT THEY’VE BEEN SHOOTING PROTESTERS WITH????
YEP! These are meant to be skipped into the ground and then spin into people’s legs and dissuade people from advancing or move them away. FIRING THEM AT PEOPLE’S HEADS IS 100% AGAINST THE PROPER USE.
AND THEY ARE SHOOTING THESE AT MEDICS. DOCTORS, EMTS, AND NURSES. AT CLOSE RANGE.
THESE CAN BREAK YOUR SKULL. THEY ARE NOT A JOKE.
THIS IS LESS LETHAL LIKE A BASEBALL BAT IS LESS LETHAL THAN A SWORD. BOTH STILL CAN KILL.
I only found out today they’re meant to be fired at the ground to bounce back at protesters… I don’t think I’ve ever seen the cops use them that way
