    Really surprised they don't do much with this guy....... thinking up Portals is a pretty powerful ability, and he has what may be the best version of it. And the fact that he's a villain means he can get away with going all out and can do SO much to hinder the heroes.

    • @aawallace98
      @aawallace98 Год назад +49

      the thing you have to remember is that the spot has no real end goal nor dose he want to really hurt anyone he doesn't even really hate spiderman that much he just sorta became a supervillian because he felt that was his only option and he was tired of taking shit from others so he has no reason to use his powers on that scale

    • @13KuriMaster
      @13KuriMaster Год назад +24

      @@aawallace98 That's not necessarily a deal breaker through... after all, he starts out working for Wilson Fisk as apart of the backstory. So he could show up in just about any spot where the Kingpin is involved working for him and using his powers to assist the other villains under Kingpin's request/orders.
      Something like..... in an abridged universe:
      "Hey, I have a thing going on at this location at this time and I'm pretty sure either Spiderman or Daredevil is going to show up and try to stop it. Think you could be there and delay them long enough for my other guys to finish what their doing? I'll give you a big bonus to help out with your next science thingy if you do."
      "Okay."

    I’m so happy that spot was treated seriously in the movie. He’s legitimately threatening, both in how he looks (after a certain point) and what he’s going to do

    • @friendlyelites
      @friendlyelites Год назад +24

      I love the way they subvert the entire film with how he's introduced as some random generic villain like at the start of a lot of spiderman movies and games, but he just stays as this persistent threat growing more and more dangerous as time goes on

    I'm so glad The Spot is getting the 'spot'light.. I'm so hyped to see him in the movie. I've loved his character ever since I saw him in Spider-Man the animated series. I really don't get why he's considered a joke either cause his powers are awesome and so is his design.

  • @paulslade129

  • @jexelbur6872
    @jexelbur6872 Год назад +45

    Unpopular opinion: I like the fact that the Spot’s powers have a different origin than the one in the comics. I know people like different characters be connected, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it just makes some characters feel diluted and convoluted. I feel like Spot is more of his own character in the movie while still keeping him interesting. I’m not saying the comics aren’t interesting or bad, I just like the direction of the movie more.

    • @kieranadamson3224
      @kieranadamson3224 Год назад +9

      Yeah, they kept the core essence but the changes they made actually made him make sense as the big bad. Instead of just immediately wanting to be a supervillain, he's resentful over how he's now a freak that even his own family rejects.

    Whats even more scary is that Peter most likely knew Miles would have to throw the bagel to so he included the part where he takes the bagel and runs when he explained how he would infiltrate alchemax

    • @theneekypodcast
      @theneekypodcast Год назад +5

      Peter hadn’t known about the multiverse then. It’s likely during the 1 year gap that Peter joined the spider society. Remember at the end of ITSV lyla gives Miguel the prototype watch and tells him he’d be the first one to travel across the multiverse on purpose.
      So basically during the gap of 1st and 2nd film, Miguel replaced his deceased alternate self and created the spider society

    Food for thought: In all his appearances, Spider-Man himself never defeats The Spot. The Spot always defeats himself or gives up after getting hit a single time.
    Spot has never really TRIED before. He's always too much of a punchline. Even the 90s series realized he's damn near invincible and had to give him a love interest so that Kingpin stood a chance against him.
