Stunning "villain" image

Originally, this movie was just one of the pavement for the three insects in the same frame, but I did not expect to get a special surprise: Dr. Octopus can be ranked in the top three among the villains in my mind. Let me talk about it~

The first is the design of its appearance, the stylish eight-claw arms, the mix and match of suit + rogue style, the combination of the future and the retro is unobtrusive, unique and unforgettable at a glance. Thanks to the excellent design of the eight-claw arm, the possibility of fighting scenes has been fully explored. In the space, there is a large vertical (wall) and depth (train), and the three-dimensional effect is quickly moved and transformed. Fully stretched; in the action, the dense claws like cannonballs are combined with powerful sound effects, and the striking texture has got an anthropomorphic, fist to flesh effect, which not only acts on sensory stimulation, but also fits the design of the props. : The source function of the Octopus arm is to swing as the user's advanced arm.

The second is the plot design. On the basis of the “mad scientist” character set similar to the first villain, the highlight moment of self-salvation through death apologization is added. Isn’t the apparent arc of the character a mirror image of the protagonist Peter Parker? The misjudgment of the goal leads to the loss of self-identity, and finally obtains a higher level of identity and mental transformation with tenacious beliefs. It is a pity that Peter Parker can realize self-worth under the sacred support of everyone. Dr. Octopus can only sleep on the bottom of the lake alone. Recalling the image of the villain in the first part... It seems that setting the villain as a human rather than an alien seems to have at least one advantage: Humans are complex animals, and when this complexity occurs in the intricate human social context, When embodied in the details of the behavior of specific characters, it appears particularly fascinating.
