User blog:LoveWaffle/First Official Look at Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Sure, we've seen the photos of Jamie Foxx on the set, but we haven't seen exactly what Electro will look like in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 once all the CGI effects are added. But now we have, thanks to the cover of Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con Preview issue. So, let's break down, shall we?


 * 1) My gut reaction is that it looks like something out of Prometheus.
 * 2) On the other hand, the costume is similar to the character's design on The Spectacular Spider-Man, but with a blue and white motif rather than a yellow and green one.
 * 3) Pointless logo
 * 4) He doesn't look as much like Dr. Manhattan as the set photos would have you believe. Instead, he's got a Mr. Freeze look going for him.
 * 5) The character isn't entirely CGI. Good call, since it helps keep the cost down. If anything, the effect will probably be similar to how Iron Man 3 portrayed Extremis.
 * 6) His ear appear to be burned off. That actually makes me excited to see the normal, nerdy Max Dillon's transformation into the villain Electro.
 * 7) All those people who complained about an African-American actor portraying Electro should still feel pretty foolish.

What do you think of Electro's look for The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Is it an upgrade over the Lizard's Goomba-inspired design from the first film? More excited to see the CGI Rhino, or maybe something regarding a Goblin suit? Leave a comment below!
