"It was also annoying the way Spidey and Doc Ock's bodies repeatedly walked away from poundings that by rights should have killed or crippled either one of them."
Eh, every time I saw Doc go through a wall or into a car, it seemed to be back-first, so the tentacles would take most of the shot. As for getting punched by Spidey, Spidey's powers WERE going fritzy, and perhaps he was holding back some, I mean, he can't be walloping every thug he fights at full power, or he'd have killed more people than the Punisher by now. And as Alfred Molina pointed out, Octavius has to be a big, strong man to support the tentacles in the first place. And come to think of it, having your nervous system taken over by a psychotic A.I. probably does wonders for your pain tolerance.
And as for Spidey, do you have any IDEA how strong his skeleton, muscles, tendons, sinews, interstital tissues etc would have to be to lift as much as he does without his body just folding in from it's own power? Not to mention tensile strength, like holding the cable car in the first film, or stopping the train in no.2. His whole body is probably laced with the same long-chain polymers that make his web. In the bones, probably built in some kind of geodesic lattice for support strength, considering he doesn't seem to weigh more than an average guy, it can't be a straight material substitution for calcium, and he didn't get any strange cravings for titanium powder or whatever before his powers kicked in the first time. And when his powers were failing, I doubt his body was reconstituting back and forth, like the Hulk. He could still take a fall like Wile E. Coyote, just not generate superstrength, shoot webs, or exhibit E.S.P.. |
