prokopetz:
I just watched Into the Spider-Verse again, and I can’t believe I forgot how incredibly extra Doc Ock is in her first fight scene. An incomplete list:
Pausing to monologue whenever she gets a good hit in
Posing like a lunging predator when she hurls herself at Miles in spite of the fact that none of her flesh-and-blood limbs are in any way involved
Rampaging through the forest knocking over trees that are nowhere near her flight path, apparently just on general principle
When Miles takes shelter behind a large tree, rather than flipping around it or swatting it aside – both of which she’s demonstrably capable of doing – she takes the time to carefully bisect it lengthwise and dramatically gesture with the resulting halves
It stands out all the more when literally every other villain in the film is a manfully scowling hardass, and then there’s Olivia just pinballing around the scenery with that shrieking manic energy – like, did she not get the memo that this is a Serious Villainous Organisation For Serious People?
I love it.
