Of course reintroducing all these erstwhile villains represents in some instances a chance for a do - over when it occur to case design . This is certainly the case with Electro , who looks like an wholly different character than the one who foughtAndrew Garfield ’s Spider - Manback in the oldAmazing Spider - Mandays . Foxx himself indeed seems happy with his new Electro design than his erstwhile one , as he transmit during a recentSpider - Manbad guy panel featuring himself , Molina and Dafoe . Explaining why he thinks the novel Electro is an improvement , Foxx made an appropriate R&B music doctrine of analogy ( viaSpider - military man ):
I ’m happy we got a brand new beginning , brand fresh smell . The blue when we did it the first fourth dimension , it was look man , I did n’t care . I was just glad to be in this grand class and it was like … sort of like two or three 60 minutes or whatever like that [ to get ready ] . But with this new new , it ’s fly . The homies is like “ OK we get you now . ” When I was down , they still roll with me but , “ OK you puritanic . ” But this one it just feel more comfortable and I think it feel more today . New . Like not prove so hard . I sort of relate it to R&B. Back in the twenty-four hour period in R&B you used to have to have fringes on your outfit and shoulder pads and things . Now you could just sing . So it ’s like now we ’re just sing .
Indeed the most obvious change from the old Electro to the Modern is the simple fact that he no longer depend like a blue noncitizen from a cheap science fiction film . The new Electro in fact just looks like Foxx wearing some kind ofTony Stark - like techthat allows him to project his electric powers . This aerodynamic concept of the character of course is in observe with the typical ways of the MCU , which has tended to minimise the comic book outlandishness of characters in favor of making them loosely more grounded and believable . Foxx at least seems to agree with the move to make Electro less overtly bizarre and more of a human theatrical role who can just go out and do his matter .
Of course the argument can be made that by veer away from the strange and into the ground , the MCU withdraw off some of what make its villainous character appealing in the first place , lead to some of its problem with rather boring bad guy . But the full stop seems to be striking a balance between the comical book means of doing things and the moviemaking path . It remains to be see if the new Electro is finally a good character than the sure-enough Electro , but thing seem to be going in the correct direction inSpider - Man : No Way Home .
