Okay so, I know a lot of us have been hyping over Venom the last dance, but to anyone that cares. A early version of the church scene in animatic form has been found, with the dialogue being originally from the novel. This has been lost media for years now so I was super excited when I saw this for the first time. Storyboards done by Ryan Woodward.

I always loved this little Easter Egg of both the Earth-616 and Sam Rami Trilogy Green Goblin masks from the "Hobgoblin" arc of Brian Michael Bendis’ run on Ultimate Spider-Man!

Heck, I actually noticed it when I first read the issue as a little kid!

I am surprised by the random thought that hit me regarding both Tobey's and Andrew's versions of Spider-Man.

At the end of the original Spider-Man, when Norman died, he last words were : "Don't tell Harry". In a way, Tobey did keep those words, even though it might have been better to tell Harry. Why? Because keeping how Norman died a secret from Harry, resulted in the friendship between Harry and Peter breaking down to the point that by Spider-Man 3, Harry goes all out in his quest for revenge.

Similarly, in the Amazing Spider-Man, Captain Stacy makes Peter promise to leave Gwen out of his crusade. Peter tries to honor that promise but breaks it as we see him dating Gwen in the sequel. Now, he struggles with keeping the promise because it hurts Gwen, and he tries to follow through, and decides to break it and pursue her. It ends sadly in Gwen's death at the hands of Goblin.

Tobey's Peter showed the consequence of keeping a promise and Andrew's Peter showed the consequence of breaking a promise. And both events resulted in consequences that are heart breaking for them. In both cases, if the opposite action was taken, they might have had a different ending.

So I was rewatching Spider-Man 2, and I somehow just noticed that the suit looks a little different in some of the artwork in the opening from the actual film.

It's sort of got Alex Ross's usual style for how he draws the classic suit, mixed in with the Raimi film design. It actually looks pretty cool.

Don't know how it's taken me my whole life to notice this, but oh well.
