[QUOTE="Acmite, post: 180051, member: 183"] I caught this too, and I agree: It looks like Doc Ock. I totally missed the Eddie reference, though. Great flick! But really, could Sam Raimi lead us astray? I don't know about you guys, but in addition to Doc Octopus and the Lizard, I'd like to see The Sandman. Electro was just a petty criminal, and his powers have been done before (Storm, that crappy Mutant X show, etc) so I'd understand it if the Sony folks stayed away from it and focused on a more "marketable" villain. Oh, and it'd be cool to see Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) make an appearance. But already I see a dangerous trend developing in the early rumours about the second movie: The rumours are that BOTH Connors and Octavious are major opponents in the second flick. I was talking to Cor Azer about this, and we both agree that this was the major downfall of the Bat franchise: too many villains change a potentially good movie into a "name that famous guy!" crapfest. I say, focus on one villain (like the GG), stay true to the core of that character (like they did in this one), and let Sam Raimi hold the reins! [/QUOTE]
