How is it that one of the dumbest looking characters in the history

when i was a kid and only knew him from the PS1 Spider-Man game I thought he was a shapeshifting energy being who could mimic others' powers and basically an unstoppable badass,

>>93718352
Until you punch him with one hit and his fishbowl falls off.

That had me pissing myself with laughter.

How is that dumb looking. Looks neat

>>93718352
That's exactly what Mysterio wants you to think, so that could arguably be one of the best interpretations of him.

He's an illusionist, he knows how to fuck with people's minds.

>>93718346
You take that back he's my favotite supervillian design ever

>>93718405
YOU look neat.

>>93718346
He looks great you turbopleb!

>>93718346
Mysterio's costume is GOAT

I feel like you could reboot Mysterio a tiny bit to reflect this fact instead of him just getting fired for being a weirdo.

Comes with the territory.

>>93718512
The fact that mysterio has been shafted in not 1, but 2 spider universes makes me so sad. If this new spider-man series actually takes off he had better be in the next fucking movie.

>>93718511
I guess, you could sort of do the same thing with Clayface, the one that was an actor, since makeup made him into Clayface and even makeup is CGI now.

>>93718528
We may never see this casting choice in a live-action film, but there needs to be some cartoon or vidya where Mysterio is played by Bruce Campbell.

>>93718532
which is a practical effect, he recorded something and displayed it holographically.

He didn't create a 3D model and then mocap that model and then display that as a hologram.

>>93718512
He does the whole "master of illusions" thing without being tied to a stupid fear gimmick or a wildly inconsistent characterization (even by cape standards), and his costume is way fucking better.
I'd say yes

>>93718578
>Back off, I saw him first!

I'm sure there's plenty of him for the both of you.

>>93718586
No, just feels a little cringy to see someone acting like another poster. Like genuinely sad

Yeah, it makes me want to vomit.

> dumbest looking

S-Sure, dumb...

>>93718346
What if Mysterio were a Doctor Strange villain?

>>93718859
>guy who pretends to be magic against the guy who actually is magic

Pretty dumb

>>93718515
Mxy is Nyralahotep but less evil.

>>93718925

>>93718346
That describes a lot of Spider-Man's enemies.

>Green Goblin
>Dr. Octopus
>Shocker
>Vulture
>Kraven
>Electro
>Rhino

>>93719706
How is Vulture dangerous?

>>93718346
Mysterio hard counters anyone with resistances to telepathy or hallucinogens like fear gas. He can get you to do practically anything without physically touching your mind at all. With this, I suppose Daredevil hard counters Mysterio in turn unless he can trick all 5 senses at once

>>93720353
>5 senses
Fun part is, he only needs to trick 4!
Imagine: Mysterio´s trickiest illusion doesn´t even need sight. it could look like a cheap greenscreen effect, and would do the trick as long as it sounded, smelt, and felt real.

>>93719740
he killed the fucker who was hitting on Aunt May once

>>93719706
Shocker and Vulture are fucking scrubs. Kraven is dangerous to someone without Spidey's strength and speed honestly. He seems more fitting as a Batman or Daredevil villain. Replace his constant fear and paranoia of THE SPIDER with the Bat or Devil and he still works out fine.

It kinda blows my mind that the fact that Mysterio more or less took out the ntire Xmen, at once isnt talked about more.

>>93718346
To this day I am mad that Bendis couldn't use him in his X-Men run.

>dark beast
>the one from age of apocalypse
>that's the one

lamest

>>93720629
Ultimate Kraven is my favorite Kraven.

Still waiting for him to show up in a movie.

With Vulture now, we've got 4 of the Sinister Six on screen. Just missing Mysterio and Kraven.

>tfw Mysteriofag
>tfw the best person to write him in the last year or two is Joe Kelly.
Fuck you, Slott.

>>93718559
Why not, after all Vulture was recycled from Raimi's Spider-Man 4 project, even with daughter love interest and everything

>who is the spot

>>93718404
That's sm2 game not 1

>>93720702
>Shocker
>Scorpion
>Vulture
>?
And the 4th is who again? Not only that, but they need a leader, so Doctor Octopus could fill that role

>>93718880
All you'd have to change is the source of his illusions being technological to being magical.

>>93721925
Then he becomes yet another sorcerer with a silly costume.

>>93721935
So you're saying sorcerers can't specialize in one type of magic then?

>>93721925
You have terrible fucking taste and completely miss the point of Mysterio

>>93721954
You have tons of sorcerers running around Marvel. Making Mysterio one takes away his gimmick and makes him just a low-rent version of early "God of Mischief" Loki who spends his time fighting Spider-Man. Unless you drastically change the character and make him a Strange villain, I don't see the point.

>>93721925
That goes completely against the point of Mysterio

>>93721972
>>93721999
>>93721994

Isn't the point kind of lost in a universe that has magic?

>>93718925
Mxy is, if Nyralahotep would be mischievous than malignant.

>>93722005
Honestly... yeah. It's why I hate it when they try to push science-based characters as hard atheists. It really makes zero sense. But take away the gimmick of Mysterio and he loses his charm. I wouldn't mind if he came across a book or scroll and used it to make his creations more life-like, but he should be illusion-based.

>>93722005
No, it's enchanced.

>>93722005
No the point is lost on you because you're a fucking idiot. Mysterio is interesting because he uses his noggin and special effects creating illusion after illusion that you cant help but question if its real no matter how often you see him and aware of his gimmicks. Its more interesting than making him a dime a dozen sorcerer and just cheapens what he does.
>Creates a giant monster through magic
Boring
>Creates a giant monster through illusion
How the fuck did he do that?

>>93722035
>In a world where hidden sorcerers train themselves to fight evil magicians, ethereal magic beings and lovecraftian chaos gods, one powerless, ordinary man will make it his life goal to use advanced special effects technology to make you believe he has magical powers.

No it's fucking stupid. It works only when magic is ambiguous.

>>93722105
But that actually sounds interesting

>>93722005
no, because its like someone bringing a butterknife to a gun fight tournament and somehow making it to the championship match

>>93722126
It sounds embarrassing. Imagine if Strange actually fought Mysterio? Real magician verses parlor trick man who wishes he was one? I'm sure Mysterio would come off as so cool.

>>93718346
Mysterio would be one of the best Spider-Man villains to have in a film, yet after six movies we've still yet to see him.

Will Mysterio ever get his due?

>>93722168
>Muh powerlevels
Fuck off

>>93722168
Unless you think about Dr. Strange setting up all this incredibly powerful countermagic on a foe he thinks is going to be some equally powerful magician, only to get his ass handed to him by the element of surprise.

>>93722071

He also doesn't get that Mysterio doesn't just go ooga booga with illusions, but sets up a long elaborate con that the illusion is only a part of, using people locations whatever nessacary to create the stage. Sure spider sense and radar sense can tell the difference between a illusion, but the bait being real and desperate people in trouble can hook Pete and Matt hard enough not to suspect the trap.

>>93722284
Seriously, Mysterio has fallen out of favor so bad people don't realize he's similar to what the Riddler would be like if he were competent.

>>93718346
easily one of the most underrated spidy villians.

>>93722634
I don't know, he just very rarely shows up in comics or movies anymore. It's probably because his backstory conflicts with the fact that most movies use CGI now, but it would be easy to work around that or even make it the *reason* he turned to crime.

>>93723094
Cause he has to get most the prop work done himself, and he also needs to use the moments of advantage his tricks give him. Fat dude ain't gonna be able to vanish quickly when needed.
Mysterio probably does a bunch of parkour or something.

Best moment in gaming.

Especially after watching him power up with 3 full health bars and basically shitting yourself thinking it's going to be a super tough boss fight

Okay, it's not like I can prove I'm OP so I understand if you don't believe me but I have to admit that I actually like Mysterio's design myself. I just thought most people didn't because of all the "fishbowl" comments so that's why I said what I did. I like characters with obscured faces in general and I think the "crystal ball" look really suits him.

This would work out great.

Mysterio works excellently and should not have his look altered or be magic-based.
He works great.

As long as you understand he's supposed to be a street level guy fighting low-level street heroes and work alongside other street villains.
Yeah, if you throw him against strange , it's stupid.
So don't. He robs banks and wants to prove his practical effects are better than cgi. That's all. No big-level threats.

>>93734885
I would like to see Mysterio show up once against a big player and because they have no idea who he is and the notion of a regular human just using common illusion would be so stupid and far fetched to them he actually gets a super effective strike at them and then just fucks off.
Similar to how he made Wolverine kill his friends, but went more in depth of how he could make that. How he could fool Logan's smell and etc.

>>93718346

Tinkerer's whole deal is that he can make insane gadgets but is 100% useless in a fight. Ock is more of a Master Planner.

Is it me, or does it seem every other character whose vaguely comic relief now seems to have a dedicated comic to nothing but "Yeah, you laugh at him now...BUT NOW YOU UNDERESTIMATE HIM AND HE KILLS A DOZEN BABIES TO SHOW YOU HOW REAL TUFF HE IS!" at this point?

Batroc is doing that right now but with less edge, he's tutoring a young new villain how to fight and be smart on the battlefield.

>>93736484
I mean that's not the generic subversion of "oh, look at this goofy joke character now becoming a horrific and scary threat! Doing a complete 180 of your expectations is still original and not a new cliche!" that everyone who wants to appear smart does, it just sounds like the logical conclusion of him being a Veteran at his job and thus having some things that newer people in the business would benefit from knowing.

You just described the state of half of Batman's rogues gallery.
ESPECIALLY these two.

>>93736394
Honestly I kinda like when a joke character turns out to actually be pretty though, but they really do overdo it with the edge a lot.

I mean there's no reason a villain can't be both tough but still rather silly.

>>93736922
Yeah, it's fine if the character is at least competent but a little goofy, that can be fun.

But at this point, I am willing to bet money that the next time they try to make a joke character a threat, it'll be "look how many babies he ate" or "he made a man watch while he raped his wife" all while the victim or hero have the most painful dialogue about how the character is harmless to make it ironic like this is some fresh new idea that the author thought up.

Not quite that edgy but an electric guy from Spiderman (Electro?) zaps the gas tank of a car to make it explode and Spiderman exclaims "there where people in that car!"

And also, Azzarello's Joker. Everything in it. But I guess Joker doesn't even count anymore because he's been a overly violent edgelord for a few decades now.

>>93737896
Azzarello's Joker doesn't count.
It's an elseworlds neo-noir story. All the criminals in there are vicious people and it's about the shock of Johnny Johnny realizing that they are a whole other level.

>>93737985
>It's an elseworlds
Oh right, it's an elseworlds.
But would it really be a surprise if it took place within the normal continuity ?
With how much writers desperately try to ramp up the shock value in Joker stories and top each other, I think the only reason why Joker hasn't been depicted as a rapist more often is because it would hurt his marketability.

>>93737513
Was that also Meltzer (who I didn't even know wrote comics until recently)?

>>93737643
Not always, Bloodborne for example uses a lot of references to miscarriages and dead infants in a way that isn't edgy and fits all the themes present in the work, but doesn't really have any instances of rape.

Edge is relative and how edgy something is ultimately depends on how well it's written and how well it fits the tone and theme of the overall story. Rape and dead babies used purely to show "isn't this character just sooo evil?" are on the same level, just a really lazy way for bad writers to make things "serious"

I like how Ultimate Comics sort of redeemed him.

>>93738121
The Joker itself, yeah, you could see him being canon these days.
But even Batman was a dick on that, he let's Frost die to mock Joker (even though it could be construed that he never actually says anything but the Joker is so fucking paranoid that he hears it).

I still like this Joker a lot more than some others. He's very real, the scene where he's taking a shit load of pills and sobbing on Harley's hips is the most human the Joker has ever been.

I always liked Joker having a sexual aspect, desu. My favorite Batman story is A Serious House on a Serious Earth and Joker is full blown degenerate, making sexual jokes about Robin to Batman and smacking his ass. It makes him so much more uncomfortable to be around than just "lol I might kill u for no reson lol".

That's exactly what I meant about Azz's Joker. It's not edgy if it fits the setting with good writing.
You wouldn't say dead babies are edgy if it's on Hellraiser. You wouldn't say the tree rape is edgy if it's on Evil Dead.

It's pretty hard to make "edgy" topics fit into a story about dudes in tights making the world a better place by punching street thugs, it can be done by very competent writers but there's not a whole lot of those around in the industry these days.

He doesn't really help in Ends of Earth either. He just shows Peter, Sable and Widow where Ock is and then goes 'Well, I'm done. Good luck, assholes' and disappears. He got his big show where he convinced them that they destroyed Simkaria using his only his tricks and actors and there was nothing left for him.
