I'm picking up a larger trend from Marvel of demonizing transhumanism. Pretty much everyone who gets a power-up who isn't Spider-Man is portrayed as EVIL, and unlike the original series, they go through all kinds of weird plot voodoo to make the main villains look bad.
[spoiler]Sure, the Lizard killed Captain Stacey, but that was after he froze him with liquid nitrogen and tried to blow his head off with a freaking shotgun. He wasn't even trying to do anything that would kill people, he was just distributing transformation gas that would make people immortal. Yes, they'd look like lizards, but that's not something you kill people over.
Electro wanted to control the power grid. OMG so scary.
If Spider-Man just gave Harry Osborne his blood, the whole business with Gwen Stacey dying would have never happened. Harry was right, if he didn't get SOME form of treatment, then he'd die. So there wasn't any real risk in giving him some blood. Not to mention that they could have tested the blood's interaction with tissue samples before actually injecting him with it. There were a lot of options that didn't involve just leaving Harry to die or going YOLO and injecting him with it.
Plus, if the Green Goblin armor had magic injury healing powers, WHY THE FUCK DID NORMAN OSBORN NOT TRY THAT ON HIMSELF? Obviously, we can see from Harry's status at the end of the movie that the system works. God damn supervillains are dumb.[/spoiler]
No spoilers, okay?

Seriously. I won't see the fucking movie anyway, but seriously.
I'm going to start an "I didn't watch this movie so don't tell me about it" thread.
Fuck, well that joins BSG, TOR, and the red wedding on my spoiler list
Very, very sorry.
I hate to tell you, guys, but Gwen Stacy dying is about as much of a spoiler as Peter Parker getting spider powers.
DYING IS THE ENTIRETY OF HER FUCKING CHARACTER. SHE HAS NO OTHER REASON TO EXIST EXCEPT TO DIE AND GIVE SPIDER-MAN A SAD.
It's not a spoiler. It would be a spoiler if she didn't die. Complaining about this is like complaining when someone tells you that Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader today.
Anakin becomes Darth Vader? NOOOOOOOO...........!
I knew she died, I just didn't know what Electro was up to

I just re-read the spoiler.
He's up to bugger all.
Sorry if that ruins the movie for you.
Remember when Electro was just a twat in a stupid looking green and yellow costume who would just rob banks and shit?
What the fuck happened to that guy, huh? Stealing shit not good enough for you kids? Everyone has to take over the world or become Lawnmower Man? Da fuck, I say, da fuck.
The greatest movie experience I ever had was on Boot Furlough in San Diego. I was a Mormon boy who had never seen a naked woman. I had only a little bit of money and I went into a porn theater that a triple feature for $1. Black and white and grainy film, but sitting there watching 2 women go down on each other and then a hung black guy doing 2 white chicks. My life was forever changed.
[spoiler]This is a spoiler. Just saying. [/spoiler]
Angsty "heroes" annoy me.

You haven't liked super heroes since 1986, then.

Actually, 1966. Last time I read a comic book.
I'm sorry to be lame but I don't even know who gwen stacy is. The number of shits I give about spiderman or a spiderman spoiler are less than zero. That's right I'm stealing your shit so I fling it at the neighbors.
Yeah I'm kinda messed up I know.
well now that I think about it if I'm flinging it at the neighbors maybe I am giving a shit. Just not about spiderman.

That explains why you clicked on the link to this thread. And why you typed up a post. And then clicked the
post button.
Because you couldn't care less.
Hate to think what you'd do if you actually cared.
Post twice, I suppose.
That would show us.
I was bored what can I say.
If you're bored then you're boring.
i saw this movie last night and the movie was great.. it was awesome and very entertaining to watch.. go see it!!
With this kind of movies (superheroes etc) I just go to watch the visual effects. I don't care about the plot. All I care about is the pretty lights on the screen.
In other genres than that, the film has to contain a mix of 2 ingredients: nudity and killing (violence and stuff). Otherwise it's boring.
:popcorn:
So seeing as Gwen's death has already been mentioned I'd like to ask, how did she die? Same way as in the comics?
Osborne dropped her from a clock tower and spidey didn't catch her on time (he caught her right before she hit the ground but she croaked anyway).
