Quantcast


Here's your first look at Venom and Green Goblin in MUA 2 photo

Below the fold, you can grab your first look at two previously announced characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Not Fusion. In one of the two teasers, you can watch Green Goblin whizzing around, dropping bombs, and doing something violent with metallic tentacles. In the other, you’ll see Venom doing his usual thing: killing dudes with his tongue.

The events -- and possibly relationships -- in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 are inspired by Marvel’s “Civil War” story arc. The arc begins when an explosive fight between foes and heroes causes civilian casualties. The government reacts to the accidental massacre by creating the Super Hero Registration Act: a law that forces the gifted and evilly gifted to do something they may or may not want to do. Thus, conflict.

We’ve yet to receive anything proving to us that Vicarious Visions is responsibly handling the narrative, but we’ll stem the complaints for now: the awesomeness of Venom’s tongue has temporarily blinded us.

Venom needs to get a good night's sleep, his eyes are all squinty. He looks like he's been rolling in flour, too. Luckily, if its anything like MUA1 we won't have to get that close to the ugly bastard, or at least have 'classic' versions to play as.

Uh... yeah. Venom looks like he was brought to the fight on the short bus. What a terrible design.

Update: Venom is retarded and works long hours at a bakery.

Am I the only one that thinks that the graphical style of what's being released for this title thus far looks very blah?

It looks like the designers have been watching too many Predator movies based off the Venom model.

Don't be pissed off about this Venom. As they are following the comic book storyline, they have to have Mac Gargan be Venom. And that is how he looks as Venom. That's all they could really do.

Well its obvious that he's modeled after the Mac Gargan version of Venom. And like everything about Mac Gargan's Venom, this one looks completely fucking stupid.

@ pd771;

Well, they could have made his eyes white. And not made him look like a toad.

On the other hand, the goblin trailer did look pretty cool. Made me interested in playing as him.

Well, that pretty much confirms that theey're recycling "fusions". Deadpool throws blinky grenades into a tornado, Goblin throws pumpkin bombs into a tornado, same thing. Green Goblin looks very cool though, and everything that's been said about Venom is true. It's been years since he was "cool".

wtf is with venom's eyes? I don't know how you can make venom look uncool but they did it.

One big problem I have with these games is blood and gore - If I slash attack with wolverine, that baddy's arm better fall off with gratuitous amounts of blood, he shouldn't get a fucking bruise like cyclops fucking punched him.


I know superheroes arn't realistic but give me some realistic violence, it's part of their appeal

So wait... That's not even Eddie Brock as Venom? I hate comic books so much. Why do they have multiple people be the same hero/villain. It's like their goal is to make things as confusing as possible.

Aren't there like 9 Robins and 26 Green Lanterns too? Comic books are so fucking stupid.

Technically there's been 5 Robins, all of whom have gone rather different paths.
-Dick Grayson
-Jason Todd
-Tim Drake
-Time Drake's gf who i cant remember
-Damien Wayne

Dick Grayson turned into Nightwing, and is now Batman since Bruce is "dead". Jason Todd got killed by the Joker and got brought back to life by a Superman Prime punch, then he turned into the Red Hood and was Dark Batman during Battle for the Cowl. Tim Drake was Robin for a long ass time, was even officially adopted as Wayne's child, and is now the Red Robin and is out looking for Bruce. Tim Drake's girlfriend stole the costume and got killed. Damien Wayne's the current Robin now that Dick is the new Batman, and he's a stupid character.

...Yeah, I know a little about Batman.

So Dick Grayson is Batman and Venom is the 2nd coming of the Sarlac.


I'm going to go kill myself, now.

"and 26 Green Lanterns too?"

Yea that's the green lantern corps, a part of the GL mythos for years so I don't see why you're shocked, right now the Green Lantern stuff is the best comic on the market and its building up to the black lanterns war which is going to epic.

@mrplow:
They're a fucking corporate IP's! What do you think they would do? They've to sell figures, Dvd's and other merch. So, they need those "legacy" characters. It's something you've to deal with when you're reading comics. Plus, anybody who read Batman for a while now shouldn't be annoyed by the change under the cowl, because you can only tell so much stories before it gets repetitive. So, with that Bruce get a little more depth to his character and gives writers a chance to tell new stories about him. By the way, it wasn't the first time someone else wore the cowl...

Also, what Nanbu said.

Venom looks alright. But I'm excited about the Goblin, now just give me blondes to chug from a bridge and I'm happy.

WTF have they done to Venom?

Just another reason I haven't read comics since I was a child.

They always ruin everything.

<POSSIBLE SPOILERS>


I wonder if they're going to properly depict Gobby as the leader of the Thunderbots in this? To me the Thunderbolts exemplified exactly what was wrong with the pro-registration side: sending villains to capture unregistered heroes was a pretty stupid move. Now you've got the Green freaking Goblin as head of S.H.I.E.L.D. They basically screwed themselves over.

All you people bitching about Venom, this is clearly Mac Gargan (Scorpion) Venom. He's had yellow eyes for quite some time now. If you're going to whine about the character design then that's Marvel's fault.

Is it REALLY asking too much to make Venom's tongue be a tad bit slobbery? I mean seriously... c'mon guys. Use some alpha planes or something... there's no excuse for shit like that anymore...

Yeah, he looks like junk, but I'm sure you can unlock his "classic" costume, so i'm not going to sweat it.
