Any appreciation for ITSV's Sp//dr?
Any appreciation for ITSV's Sp//dr?
I'm not sure if I have to set spoilers for Into The Spider-Verse, but I will just in case. I do so on the servers I'm in, in case there are people there who haven't. I can't do anything about the title though. Ah well. Least I can do is spoiler the body.
Spoilers for Into The Spider-Verse
I've watched Into The Spider-Verse last month and it was a great film. One of the best examples of "style is substance" I've seen, was overall a fun film to watch. That said, the movie's version of Sp//dr was my favourite character, design-wise. The spider anatomy, screen-face and the simplistic but expressive emotions on said face all made the character one of my favourite designs, especially for robot characters. It sounds dumb and sappy, but I was pretty sad when it got destroyed near the end of the film (yes, even when Peni was able to rebuild it).
I wanted to see if there was any more interest, and before the Reddit exodus I checked the Spider-Man subreddit to see if there was similar appreciation, but it seems like most of the subreddit liked the comic designs better. Seems to be because of it being a more conventional mecha design than ITSV's Sp//dr. I don't mind the comic design but I dunno, ITSV's is way more interesting IMO.
Wondering what people on the fediverse think.
