Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding. With this changeover, my e-mails are jumbled, pieces here and there. Had to go to the group area to read it properly. And I agree with you entirely. I'd love to see more real-life stuff like that. Back when I read Captain America back in the early 90s Steve Rogers, after being fired by the Government as Cap, had to get a real job. Using his talent as an artist, he became a comic-book artist. His gig? Drawing "Captain America" for Marvel...

There are different things coming at us all from all sides. Life is complex. Marvel characters, at least to me, always seemed to get that. Marvel characters get divorced, look for work, get beat up, lots of things that a lot of us can relate to. I think it's time for these movies to get a little more into it and stop showing these rock'em sock'em fights. On Jun 7, 2006, at 7:19 PM, Martin Pratt wrote: And I have to disagree with you on that.

The character is a broke college student who turns broke photographer who turns, eventually, underpaid public school teacher. Spider-Man is a hero with complex issues and a textured life. The complexity of the character universe is what I LIKE about Marvel characters. As far as I'm concerned, bring on Mysterio! Who ELSE can we dig up?

Batman Returns-- the second of the modern flicks--was okay, but it had three villians, and suffered from a splintered storytelling as a result. But as you said, with a good, tight script maybe... _____ From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of g123curious Sent: Tuesday, 06 June, 2006 17:26 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: Four Spider-Man 3 Villains! Didn't a certain Batman film have 3 villains? ANd that film sucked. More isn't necessarily better. I hope that the script for SM3 is good and that the quantity of villains isn't a coverup for a low quality script.
