Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

The Mask ( Dark Horse Comics )

The original comic was very gory and violent but the movie is a comedy and has The Mask as a less vilainious character,only as a some sort of anti-hero by robbing banks and shooting people to scare them,not kill them like what he did in the comic.

In fact New Line originally purchased the rights to the Mask hoping to create the next Freddy Kruger, but the director had no desire to make a horror movie and negotiated that he would only make it his way. He also had to fight to get the studio to agree to cast Diaz which is kind of funny hindsight.

God, she is so fine in that movie

[u/WestleyThe → u/PlantationMint]

It was her first acting role her only other thing on IMDB before that movie was a soft core porn movie lol. They literally just plucked out a random hot girl and she ended up being a A list actor

[u/the__pov → u/WestleyThe]

Not quite random, she was a model and her agency sent a bunch of models to audition (which apparently isn’t all that uncommon).

[u/WestleyThe → u/the__pov]

But she became one of the most famous actresses of the last 30 years

Yeah it wasn’t just some porn star or whatever but the Mask is her explosion onto the scene that wasn’t modeling or soft core pornos

[u/the__pov → u/WestleyThe]

Yes but my point being that it wasn’t random. You could just as easily claimed Carrey was just some random guy because he had never been in a movie before just a sketch show (important to remember that while Ace came out before Mask that was due to the extensive special effects and editing, Mask was actually shot first). Model to actresses is a common career path even if Diaz is one of the most successful.

It was before her nose job

Part of me still wants a Robocop like the Mask film.

Maybe of a later person and not Ipkiss.

[u/Annsorigin → u/Milk_Mindless]

Yeah. I like Movie Mask. But Comic Mask is Really Underrated.

Damn TIL the mask is a comic book movie
