![]() ![]() Grace is strangely smug before he turns into Venom, and that smugness makes it difficult to find him too intimidating after he does. (And spoiler alert: We will be talking about the “surprise” baddie in Far From Home.)Įven before Tom Hardy played a muscular but extremely weird Venom in last year’s surprise (and truly bizarre) hit, Topher Grace was an odd fit as the journalist who becomes a symbiote with an alien being, transforming into Spider-Man’s hated enemy. None of them will ever make you consider rooting against Peter Parker. Here, a ranking of the 12 villains from the eight Spider-Man films made so far, including this week’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. But in the end, they’re beating up on a kid. That’s no offense to some of the excellent actors who have battled Spidey. It’s tough to find one, and it’s a reason that, throughout a few iterations of Spider-Man films, the villains just don’t stand out like they do in many other superhero movies. But how do you play off a Queens teenager? Who’s his natural flip side? The best villains are natural reciprocals of the heroes they battle: The Joker and Batman are two halves of the same coin, cursed to battle forever, and Lex Luthor represents the last vestige of human ingenuity trying to take out the all-powerful alien who reminds us of our own weaknesses. None of the bad guys in Spider-Man comics has ever come close to the cultural cachet of those villains. Spider-Man’s foes have never been the focus of the Spider-Man films in a way that the Joker or Lex Luthor or even Thanos has been in other superhero movies. ![]() Photo: Vulture and Sony Pictures Releasing ![]()

![]() ![]() It seems like some of the vets imply we are wasting their time by talking about something they have already discussed in full before. ![]() WHy cant people who havent read those over analyzed, dissected threads just talk about this stuff on our own for a while. Man, i have to go about this nicely i think for anyone to get my point. In any case, this particular theory has been covered extensively, and there is almost no grounds for Syrio Forel to even be alive, yet alone a Faceless Man. You also do not consider that many people do not think theories through to their logical conclusion - if they did, we wouldn't have nearly so many crackpot theories as we do. While it does make Syrio a "facade", it simply transfers the coolness factor Syrio had to Jaqen H'ghar. To accept the theory, you have to except that there never was a Syrio in the first place, or that if there was he was killed and replaced before the fake "Syrio" pretending to be him ever appeared in the books. ![]() He'd be fake, a fraud, the facade of a mummer who either made him up from scratch, or worse killed the real Syrio before taking over his persona. It boggles my mind how illogical this statement is, and yet how often it is made.Īny Syrio = Jaquen theories cannot be motivated by love for Syrio and a desire to see him alive, because if true it negates the existence of Syrio as a living character. If you read the threads that EB has indicated I'm sure you'll get more justifications to it. But it's still a bad and unneeded theory. It's a bad theory because it raises more questions than it answers: Why a faceless men would like to change their place with a prisoner? How could Syrio survive against armored men with a wooden stick? If he had been captured, why wasn't he murdered like the entire Stark houshold had been? And why no one mentioned him afterwards? If Jaquen had been Syrio, would he have left Arya alone in Harrenhal? It's a bad theory because it's only motivated by the fact that Syrio was a cool character and people would like him to be alive. If he wished, George could finish the books without including any reference to any of them and everything would still be accounted for. Jaquen is a Faceles men who got caught and thanked Arya for sparing his life. It's an unneeed theory because everything has already been resolved in the books. Not sure i believe syrio = J'aquen but all you haters out there don't have as solid a case as you all claim.at least i dont think you do, maybe someone can clear it up fpr me. But we never realized that we would create something like that.Bad and unneeded theory? enough of that stuff. That’s all we ever wanted to do, create something that is not instantly forgettable. We wanted to do justice to the source material. So, the show answered that we didn’t, we had no idea, we wanted it to be a success, wanted it to talk the story the way we wanted. Most of the time you’re dealing with a few million here a few million there, but here you’re talking about billions of people who were invested in the show. I think that’s the weirdest thing I’ve been asked to do. ![]() It’s overwhelming sometimes, I’m always humbled by that…I get a lot of requests from fans to write “Not Today” on their bodies. Especially when I meet people, sometimes who are facing real difficulties in their lives, people facing death themselves, they tell me that those lines have given them great comfort. I feel really humbled and I feel great pride in having played a character people have loved so much. He also looks back on the show's popularity and its status as cultural phenomenon. #SYRIO FOREL FACELESS MAN SERIES#Related: Why A Game Of Thrones Sequel Wouldn't Fix Its Hated Series Finaleĭuring a recent interview with Game of Laughs, Yerolemou reflects on Syrio Forel's impact on Game of Thrones, including the character's iconic phrase, " Not Today," which he never " never expected to become a part of pop culture." He describes the line bringing comfort to fans in very difficult circumstances, which he says can feel overwhelming. ![]() |
