Friends at school used to say I looked like Dakota Fanning. Now my fiancé says I kinda look like Norman Reedus when presenting male.
Note that this theory was originnaly made by redit user @The_Aiden19 and followed by YongYea's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF3BLcX3tTo).
I thought about this. It was the first time I was seeing about that subject and I wanted to add to it. First more than '' just beeing handcuffed to a controller ', there is also an umbilical cord as well! When the controller we use needs to be recharged, we connect it through the USB port. Not only are we controlling the character, we are also connected to the console itself / the story.
And now I need to backtrack a bit here. Remember when Norman Reedus told Kojima '' So they'll play as me ? '' Then Kojima proceeded to answer by saying '' No..! They'll be YOU ''
So we control Norman Reedus through and through... we are handcuffed to the controller, which is wired by an umbilical cord (USB) and what we do, Sam does on screen. What best way to break the fourth wall then to make Sam ''react to what we're doing'' live AND dynamically ?
Maybe not as far as Deadpool would do...But, here and there, maybe Sam could say something about how good or how poor we're playing? Just enough of a hint for us to understand that Sam knows of our existence.
Don't forget, this is just a theory here. I'm not saying that this'll happen for sure but still, it could be fun!
Have a nice day!

"His very last scene, he's laying there, and he's supposed to giggle,"
assuming this means the last chronological scene, but that could be wrong since apparently Chandler's last scene was the one with Judith and his last was filmed first
the fact that in one scene, possibly his actual last, he's "laying there" makes me think this scene is the same as the one 4 minutes in. The second one we know is Rick, which if someone is laying down, who else would be laying down earlier in that trailer?
so i guess that confirms he actually dies and doesn't just leave? don't know why he'd be giggling. as weird as it sounds, maybe just taking light of what he's created for everyone while being devoured. kind of like his smile when they were cornered by the junkyard people. maybe he gets bit first when redirecting that herd and the point of laying there's just because he knows he's at his end like carl in s8's msp? maybe he dies before that 1:20 frame? but at the same time, i don't think anyone would let that happen to him, with retrieving glenn's body, abraham's and carl's
So i'm going to go on IMDB and look at each MCU movies behind the scenes facts and POST THE MOST INTERESTING ONES here, I will post each movie a day instead of what I did before where I did 10 posts, I will start with the first Iron Man and each day will be the next MCU movie after it, ending with Guardians 3, I will also do the Netflix Shows, Agents of Shield and Agent Carter
1. Aaron Davis mentions he has a nephew. In the comics, Aaron Davis is the Ultimate Marvel universe version of the villain "The Prowler", whose nephew is Miles Morales, a.k.a. the second Ultimate Spider-Man.
2. In an interview from 2013, while promoting his upcoming film, How I Live Now (2013), Tom Holland was asked by a reporter what kind of role he might want to try next. When Holland replied, saying a project with action and humor would be of interest to him, the reporter asked if he would ever like to play a superhero. "Maybe Spider-Man, in ten years time," answered Holland. "The reboot of the reboot, if they do that."
3. Nick Fury was originally going to be Peter's mentor in the film, with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role, but they went with Tony Stark instead.
4. Kenneth Choi (Principal Morita) also played the Howling Commando Jim Morita in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In the Principal's office, you can see photos of the Howling Commando, which hints that they are related, and he is his grandson.
5. First live-action "Spider-Man" film where his costume has resizable visors, providing more expressiveness to his appearance (in accordance with the comics).
6. Peter's homemade Spider-Man costume is very similar to Ben Reilly's first Spider-Man costume from the comics: a red jumpsuit with a blue sleeveless hoodie, with the belt and web shooters on the outside of the costume.
7. J.K. Simmons had previously expressed interest in returning to the role of J. Jonah Jameson (the role that he played in the Sam Raimi trilogy, and also voiced the character in Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)). However, once he was cast as Commissioner Gordon in Justice League (2017), all discussion of this happening ceased.
8. Tom Holland spent a few days attending classes at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City to prepare for his role as Peter Parker. He used his acting coach's name as an alias.
9. The cast had to watch a John Hughes movie marathon to prepare. This movie is first and foremost a coming-of-age tale, so Watts turned to the master of such stories: John Hughes. "He gave us a lot of movies to watch", Holland said during an interview with PopSugar UK. "God, there's so many movies, and we basically just all sat down in my house in Atlanta, all the cast, and we just watched them all in one day, and just had like a Domino's day. It was amazing, The Breakfast Club (1985), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Pretty in Pink (1986), there were loads of them."
10. Pictures of Howard Stark, Abraham Erskine, and Bruce Banner can be seen in Peter Parker's school.
11. Aunt May's car number plate is AMF-1562. AMF is Amazing Fantasy, 15 is the issue number, and 62 is 1962, the year Spider-Man first appeared.
12. The first Spider-Man film where Spider-Man has his iconic web wings from the comics.
13. While Happy is overseeing loading the plane with objects from the Avengers Tower, he references Thor's belt, but is unable to pronounce it's name "Meg-... Meg-... Thor's magic belt!". The real name for the belt is Megingjörð.
14. Prior to its release, this movie saw the debut of numerous pitch-perfect posters celebrating Spidey's first film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of them, the image featuring the hero leisurely lying next to a body of water wearing his high school academic decathlon blazer with a pair of headphones on stood out. As it turns out, the pose wasn't conceived of by a genius marketer, it was a picture of Tom Holland taken when he was entirely unaware. In an interview during a press junket in Mexico City, Holland explained that the poster was a picture snapped while he was napping on-set. "That is actually me asleep", Holland said. "That's not part of the movie, that's me, in-between takes, asleep. We were shooting this scene, and I was just really tired that day, and I was just asleep on the floor, and the photographer took a picture. So when they made that the poster, I was like 'What?! What the hell, guys?!'"
15. Tom Holland is the youngest actor (at nineteen) to be cast as Peter Parker. His predecessors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, were twenty-five and twenty-six, respectively, when they were cast.
16. The music that plays over the Marvel Studios logo is an orchestral version of the classic Spider-Man television theme song, written in 1967 by Paul Francis Webster and Robert "Bob" Harris for the animated television show. Here it has been adapted by Composer Michael Giacchino.
17. Spider-Man never punches any of the villains he fights. He uses his webs, he counters his enemies punches which causes them to punch each other, he even kicks them, but he never punches them.
18. Donald Glover (Aaron Davis) has voiced the Miles Morales incarnation of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) animated series.
19. Vincent D'Onofrio had shown interest in appearing as Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin from Daredevil (2015). Kingpin is a shared villain from Spider-Man and Daredevil's rogue's gallery, and has appeared in many other Spider-Man media.
20. Director Jon Watts has revealed that Peter Parker will be aged around fifteen years old at the time of the film. Tom Holland was around age nineteen to twenty at the time of filming.
21. The Vulture is the fourth member of the original Sinister Six gang to appear in a Spider-Man film. Members who have previously appeared are Doctor Octopus (in Spider-Man 2 (2004)), Sandman (in Spider-Man 3 (2007)), and Electro (in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)). So far, only Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter have not appeared in live-action. In fact, Vulture, Doc Ock, Mysterio and Kraven were meant to appear in Sony's Amazing Spider-Man saga before its cancellation.
22. In the comics, Flash Thompson was a burly football player. This was updated to make him a wealthy smug character to fit modern portrayals of bullies.
23. Before this film was officially announced, Sony planned to build a universe not too dissimilar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe using only Spider-Man characters. This included an untitled spin-off focusing on a female super heroine assumed to be Black Cat, a Venom film, a Sinister Six film, and two further installments to The Amazing Spider-Man series. Andrew Garfield was signed on to appear in at least two of these films.
24. This is the first appearance of Cindy Moon (Tiffany Espensen), better known as in the comic as Spider-Man's female counterpart Silk.
25. The film's release date was originally meant for Thor: Ragnarok (2017), which was then moved to the November 3, 2017, release slot for Black Panther (2018). This move would ultimately change the release dates for several other Marvel films.
26. While some fans complained about the hi-tech Spider-Man suit, many of the gadgets were ideas that appeared at one time or another in the Spider-Man comic books over the years.
27. First solo Spider-Man film to not mention or feature Uncle Ben in any way. Peter Parker briefly alludes to bad things that have happened to his Aunt May, which may imply the loss of her husband, but he does not elaborate.
28. Robert Downey Jr.'s eighth time playing Tony Stark.
29. On April 21, 2016, it was made official that Robert Downey, Jr., would reprise his role as Tony Stark. This also marks the first time that a Spider-Man film will include another superhero character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
30. Martin Starr plays one of Peter Parker's high school teachers in this movie. He can briefly be seen in The Incredible Hulk (2008), and is credited as "Computer Nerd". Marvel and Disney usually doesn't re-cast the same actors in different Marvel Cinematic Universe roles, but has broken this rule a few times. However, Starr's role could be linked to the previous minor background character, in which case, he was getting a degree in the earlier film, and went into teaching in this one.
31. During the initial encounter, Vulture appears in front of the moon briefly with his wings spread. This is similar to a scene in Batman (1989), with the Batwing flying in front of the moon. In both cases, the person using the "wing" technology is Michael Keaton.
32. Prior to the Spider-Man deal, certain characters such as Georges Batroc, Christine Everhart, Ben Urich, Wilson Fisk, Mister Hyde, and Frank Castle have already shown up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe prior to the webslinger's arrival. In Ant-Man (2015), when Luis is recounting Falcon's search for Ant-Man, a woman had mentioned "we got a guy who jumps, a guy who swings, and a guy who climb up the walls", which is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe reference to Spider-Man.
33. Midtown School of Science and Technology's year of foundation, 1962, is a reference to the comic debut of Spider-Man in the August 1962 issue of Amazing Fantasy.
34. Though the majority of the movie takes place in Queens, New York, much of the movie was shot in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional footage shot in Germany. A portion of the film was still shot in the real New York City, though.
35. Tom Holland confirmed in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that he struggled to say Spider-Man without it sounding like a southern accent during filming. As a result, him saying the name had to be dubbed later.
36. Mark Hamill wanted to play The Vulture if Michael Keaton turned the part down.
37. Matthew McConaughey expressed interest in the role of Norman Osborn, a.k.a. The Green Goblin, Spider-Man's archenemy.
38. Based on what Kevin Feige has said about the film, there are actually quite a few similarities between this film and Ultimate Spider-Man (2012): the film is not an origin story, Peter is in high school, Peter wears the classic Spider-Man costume, the film incorporates new villains, Peter has a non-stop wit as Spider-Man, Peter has awkward interactions with other superheroes, Peter is a street-level hero, and Peter struggles to balance his double life.
39. Sequels to The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), as well as plans for a Sinister Six movie were turned down, in favor of this film. However, spin-offs for that franchise, and in that universe, are still in production by Sony, such as Venom (2018).
40. The weekend before Tom Holland was announced as Spider-Man, he posted three videos on his Instagram account, where he showed off his backflip skills. Many websites started pointing this out after he was cast, praising him for his spider-like abilities.
41. Marisa Tomei said she was shocked to learn that Aunt May was much older in the comic books. However, her brother, a Marvel fan, explained to her that Aunt May was not a blood relative to Peter Parker. This made her realize that Aunt May could be any adult age, depending on how old she and Uncle Ben were when they got married.
42. This is the first Spider-Man film where the special effects for the character are not being produced by another company affiliated with Sony, the rights holder to Spider-Man. Industrial Light & Magic, which handles much of the visual effects for the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, produced the visual effects.
43. Alfred Molina expressed interest in reprising his role as Dr. Otto Octavius, a.k.a. Doctor Octopus in another Spider-Man sequel.
44. The man that Peter pursues to get info on the Staten Island Ferry heist has a profile that briefly lists one of his known aliases as "The Prowler", a reference to the Amazing Spider-Man villain of the same name.
45. When Sony was in the development stage of the Sam Raimi film series, with a fourth film on the way, John Malkovich was originally cast as the Vulture opposite Tobey Maguire as the title character, with Malkovich preparing for the role. However, the film was cancelled, once Sony opted to reboot the series with Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield.
46. This is the first Spider-Man movie to reference various elements regarding the web-fluid for Spider-Man's web-shooters from the original comics. The first nod, is that Spider-Man mentions that his web-fluid only lasts for two hours before it dissolves after it has been fired, whereas in the comics, it would last for one hour before it dissolved. The second nod to the comics, is the taser web, which is a reference to how Spider-Man has created different variations of his formula for his web-fluid at different points in the comics to create different types of webbing, often to deal with situations where his regular web-fluid was not enough.
47. Tony Revolori received death threats for playing the role of bully Flash Thompson.
48. In the Marvel comic books, Damage Control is a private repair and reclamation company, specializing in dealing with damage caused by superheroes and supervillains, as well as various items left behind by either community. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Damage Control is a government organization, with the same general purpose.
49. It is the second reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, and the sixteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
50. This is the first Spider-Man movie where the Osborn family company Oscorp does not appear, or play any significant role.
51. The first Marvel Cinematic Universe film since Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) to be distributed by a company other than Disney.
52. According to the Marvel and Sony deal, Kevin Feige is not being compensated as an Executive Producer on the film.
53. This film features two characters who carry the supervillain title "The Shocker": Herman Schultz the original Shocker, and Jackson W. Brice, who was the Shocker in The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008). (Brice was actually known as Montana in the comics, due to being a former cowboy who could wield a rope).
54. Michael Keaton plays a character called The Vulture, which is a man in a bird costume. Coincidentally, Michael Keaton starred in the Best Picture winning film Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014), and that character is based off of Batman, which Keaton played in 1989 and 1992.
55. When Spider-Man goes to confront Aaron Davis in the parking garage (where he webs Aaron's hand to the trunk), the license plate is UCSM01. This could stand for Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1, the first appearance of Miles Morales as Spider-Man in the Ultimate Marvel Universe.
56. First time that Jon Favreau portrayed "Happy" Hogan in a non-Iron Man movie.
57. This is Composer Michael Giacchino's second comic book film, after Doctor Strange (2016).
58. This is the first solo Spider-Man film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although not the first adaptation of the character to interact with another character wholly originated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Agent Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg, and appeared in multiple films from Phase I of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, also appeared in the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), along with various video game adaptations of Marvel properties that also feature Spider-Man. Gregg has reprised the role in the animated series, and voiced the character in multiple video games.
59. The Vulture is the first major Spider-Man movie villain who became a supervillain of his own accord. Doc Ock, Sandman, Venom, The Lizard, Elektro, and both Green Goblins all became villains as a result of experiments gone wrong, or other types of accidents beyond their control. (Rhino, Shocker, and The Tinkerer are all minor villains in the films.)
60. When the film was announced, several actors were rumored and expressed interest in taking over the role from Andrew Garfield. Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman were key figures, but also rumored were Daniel Radcliffe, Freddie Highmore, Alfred Enoch, Donald Glover, Josh Hutcherson, and Grant Gustin. Freddy Highmore admitted he would "love to be considered".
61. The filmmakers have stated that this movie takes inspiration on John Hughes' comedies from the 1980s about teens and high school. One of John Hughes' films, Weird Science (1985), features a young Robert Downey, Jr.
62. Every live-action Spider-Man movie released after 2010 so far, debuted ten years after all three Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire movies. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) was released ten years after Spider-Man (2002); The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) after Spider-Man 2 (2004); and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) after Spider-Man 3 (2007).
63. This is Jennifer Connelly's third comic-book film after Hulk (2003), and The Rocketeer(1991) (which was directed by Joe Johnston who also helmed Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)).
64. This is the first Spider-Man film to feature the villain "The Vulture". In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4, John Malkovich was set to play The Vulture, but the film was never made. In the DVD commentary for Spider-Man 3, Thomas Haden Church revealed they spoke about Ralph Fiennes and Sir Ben Kingsley playing The Vulture in a sequel.
65. Sony considered approaching Sam Raimi to direct a new trilogy of films, before this one was green-lit.
66. Adrian Toomes is never referred to as "The Vulture". However, the term "Vulture guy" is used by other characters.
67. The original proposal by Marvel was to have Spider-Man appear in several of their Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, in exchange for Columbia and Sony getting a cut of the profits, but it was rejected by Sony. However, the commercial disappointment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), partly due to poor decision calls by Sony, including Executive Producer Matt Tolmach (at one point during production, Andrew Garfield and Tolmach were not in good terms) prompted Sony to renegotiate the deal with Marvel, and restart the franchise again.
68. Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Liam James, Timothée Chalamet, and Tom Holland were all in the shortlist of the much anticipated casting of Peter Parker.
69. While this movie is the first time that Spider-Man and his world have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there have already been multiple Spider-Man characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, prior to Peter's debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016): Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk in Marvel's Daredevil (2015) (Fisk is both a villain to Spider-Man and to Daredevil). Vondie Curtis-Hall as Ben Urich in Daredevil (2015) (In the comics, Ben Urich is a reporter for the Daily Bugle. However, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he was a reporter for the New York Bulletin). Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart in Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), and Captain America: Civil War (2016).
70. This is the second time Robert Downey, Jr. makes a credited appearance in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film without receiving top billing.
71. While rumors flew all over the internet about the casting of Spider-Man, there were only three confirmed-by-the-source pieces of news on the matter: 1. Norman Reedus' son "Mingus Lucien Reedus" had been offered an audition, but turned it down. 2. Chandler Riggs auditioned, but did not get the part. 3. Tom Holland was cast as Spider-Man.
72. Steve Buscemi was rumored for the part of Uncle Ben, even though Marvel confirmed that the movie would not have an origin story.
73. The Cabin in the Woods (2012) director Drew Goddard had been rumored to write and direct the film. Goddard was hired to write and direct The Sinister Six for the Amazing Spider-Man franchise after leaving as showrunner for the Netflix television series Daredevil, which is also set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Goddard was in the shortlist, but Jon Watts was hired instead.
74. The first Spider-Man film to feature The Shocker (Herman Schultz), The Vulture (Adrian Toomes), and The Tinkerer (Phineas Mason). The Vulture is the main villain, and The Shocker and The Tinkerer serve as his henchmen.
75. 4th Highest grossing Spider-Man movie to date, domestically. 2nd Highest grossing worldwide behind Spider-Man 3.
76. The concept of Spider-Man's ability to change his web-shooter's settings through voice commands in the film, was adapted from the comics which was first seen in the first issue of the fourth volume of the "Amazing Spider-Man" series which was released at the end of 2015.
77. The movie filmed in Atlanta in June 2016, a month after Captain America: Civil War (2016) was released.

87. Directors discussed to helm the film before the eventual selection of Jon Watts included: Jonathan Levine, Theodore Melfi, Jason Moore, Jared Hess, and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Melfi took himself out of the running to direct Hidden Figures (2016). Daley and Goldstein were subsequently chosen to write the film.
88. Tom Holland can be seen alongside two other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars in 2015 films: Chris Hemsworth (Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) stars alongside Tom in In the Heart of the Sea (2015) and Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) stars alongside Tom in Pilgrimage (2017).

94. After playing the Scarecrow in the Dark Knight trilogy (which were adaptations from DC Comics material), Cillian Murphy showed interest in playing a Marvel Cinematic Universe villain role, specifically in this Spider-Man film. He also starred in In the Heart of the Sea (2015) with Tom Holland, so they would already know each other if it did happen. In the end, Murphy wasn't cast.
95. Dylan O'Brien was rumored to have been cast and/or the top contender for the role of Spider-Man. On March 3, 2015, he denied these rumors.

Tommy Lee Jones also appeared in both universes, appearing in Batman Forever (1995) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). None share any screentime in either of the two universes however.
107. Screenwriter John Francis Daley, Martin Starr, and James Franco were in Freaks and Geeks (1999). Starr plays the teacher in this film, and Franco played Harry Osborne in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy.

109. Film critic, actor, director, and writer Caillou Pettis placed the film at number twenty on his list of his twenty favorite films released in 2017.
110. Even before Disney and Marvel Studios had worked with Sony to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a popular fan theory about Iron Man 2 (2010), was that Peter Parker was the little boy in an Iron Man mask, who stands up to a killer robot, and is saved by Tony Stark. Tom Holland loved this idea so much, that he asked Kevin Feige for permission to confirm this idea as official, and Fiege agreed.
111. Happy says he's been carrying around Tony's engagement ring since 2008. That's when the first Iron Man movie came out, and it's also the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
112. The scene in which Peter, through sheer force of will, lifts the machinery pinning him down after The Vulture forces the structure to collapse on him, is a nod to a scene in The Amazing Spider-Man #33, in which he does the same thing. The panels in the comic are considered by many to be some of the most iconic in Spider-Man's history.
113. Despite being the main villain, The Vulture never intentionally attempts to harm any innocent people, only people who directly confront him. All of the peril to people, and damage to buildings, is caused by Spider-Man meddling in The Vulture's schemes to steal and/or sell weapons.
114. The female newscaster on the schools news show is Betty Brant. Betty is J. Jonah Jameson's secretary at the Daily Bugle (and an early love of Peter) in the comics. Elizabeth Banks played her in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies.
115. One of the items Spider-Man finds in the Damage Control storage facility, is an Ultronbot's head, from Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
116. Kevin Feige said that the decision to have Aunt May discovering Peter's secret as Spider-Man, was inspired by a crucial exchange between both of them in Spider-Man 2 (2004), that he felt it should have been included. During test screenings, it drew the biggest laugh. It was based on J. Michael Straczynski's Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) No. 35. Director Jon Watts felt that the scene is an homage to the final scene in Iron Man (2008); by doing so, allowing them to do more never-before-seen things on-screen in subsequent movies. When Marisa Tomei saw that line in the script, she also agreed to having that moment, reasoning that it allowed her character to develop in more areas in subsequent installments, instead of being pigeonholed.
117. In the ferry scene, when Adrian Toomes meets up with Mac Gargan, you can easily see a scorpion tattoo on Gargan's neck (a concept originally derived from Ultimate Marvel). Also in the mid-credits scene, which shows Toomes talking to Gargan in prison hinting at his future as Scorpion. Furthermore, a prison guard mentions that Toomes' family is there to visit just after Toomes refuses to give up Spider-Man's identity. Previous portrayals of Scorpion have often targeted family members of individuals with information on Spider-Man, most notably J. Jonah Jameson. Mentioning Toomes' family in earshot of Gargan may be alluding to a future hostage situation.
118. In the classic Marvel comics, Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) is a reporter at the Daily Bugle, not a friend or classmate of Peter Parker. He is also based on Ganke Lee (a chubby Chinese schoolboy from the Miles Morales Spider-Man comics, who knows his friend's secret identity). Also, Ned's collection of LEGOs in the film, is an additional nod to Ganke, as Ganke in the comics loves to collect LEGOs.
119. Michael Keaton said the only research he did for his role as The Vulture was talking with his friend's two daughters who knew the character from the comics.
120. Despite never using two "Shocker" gauntlets at once, or donning the full suit, both iterations of the character portrayed are shown with sleeves made of the insulated yellow, quilt-like material that would make up the character's full suit in the comics.
121. This is the first live-action appearance of Mac Gargan, also known as the Spider-Man villain: The Scorpion.
122. When Tony Stark takes away Peter's suit, he states "if you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it!" Tony learned this lesson in Iron Man 3 (2013) when he was forced to take on The Mandarin without the use of his armor.
123. This is the only Spider-Man movie without any graveyard scene. All of the previous five installments had graveyard scenes for some of their major characters: 1) Spider-Man (2002) - Norman Osborn; 2) Spider-Man 2 (2004) - Uncle Ben Parker; 3) Spider-Man 3 (2007) - Harry Osborn; 4) The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - Captain Stacy; 5) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - Gwen Stacy.
124. Iron Man and The Vulture share no scenes together.
125. This version of Liz Allen is not the first to be the daughter of a super villain. In the Ultimate comics run, Liz is initially depicted as being highly intolerant (even phobic) of mutants due to her projecting her own fear that she may be one herself, due to having a mutant uncle. After she does begin manifesting mutant abilities it is revealed that the uncle in question is actually her father, Fred Dukes AKA The Blob, a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Liz herself however, goes on to join the X-Men as Firestar.
126. On the way to Washington, D.C., there is a road sign that has the word "Triskelion" in lights (Peter and Ned have a brief talk about it in a deleted scene). A short time later, one of the villains mentions that they "are still cleaning up that Triskelion mess". The Triskelion refers to the building in which S.H.I.E.L.D was based before and during the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), and where the three ships called Heli-Carriers were shot down at the end. Like "The Incident" (the climax of The Avengers (2012)), this would require significant clean-up.
Hi guys, here's something I've been thinking recently...
A lot of people on this sub have noted that as it stands, the second trailer seems to stand apart from the rest in some strange ways. Obviously enough, the very first trailer was more of a conceptual thing, intended to show off Norman Reedus and some key visuals while keeping the actual game shrouded in mystery. It's not a scene from the game. The third, fourth and now fifth trailers are all apparently comprised of scenes from the actual game, and are all very consistent with one another. In all trailers, we see Sam transporting objects and corpses through desolate landscapes while being hunted by "Chiral" beings.
But then there's the second trailer. Instead of Sam, we have Guillermo's character. He's carrying a baby pod, but no boxes or corpses and he doesn't seem to have any gear protecting him from the rain. Instead of invisible Chiral beings, we have skeletal WWII soldiers, airplanes and tanks with weird fleshy bits, apparently all controlled by Mads. Compared to the trailers we've gotten since, this one clearly stands out, and a lot of people have crafted various theories about how it might all fit together using time travel, or souls from the past being resurrected or such.
My theory is a bit simpler than any of those, maybe a bit disappointing to some if true... But basically I believe that the second trailer is just as "conceptual" as the first, and meant as a sort of metaphorical instead of literal representation of Death Stranding. It will not appear in the final game. We have Guillermo representing the player character, entering dangerous territory while carrying precious goods. He's being hunted by the undead, represented by skeletal WWII soldiers. These elements communicate the ideas and themes of DS without literally showing them. So basically, I don't believe there will be any skeletal soldiers in the final product, they were just a metaphorical tease for the Chiral beings which weren't revealed at the time. Mads' final character design will probably look different in the final game. The difference in equipment between him and the WWII soldiers might imply that Mads (Or his entire faction) will possess more advanced technology which allows him to control the Chiral beings, like Golden Mask does in the latest trailer.
Anyway, that's what I think... What about you guys :P
Before I start I want to shout out /u/DanPachi and /u/Chiffmonkey with their evidence and for providing me with potential leads on this Egyptian theory stuff. Lastly shout out to /u/Mohamed_Ibrahim18 for his theory on the chiral world. Everything after this more speculation and talking out of my ass. Potential spoilers or not. I believe this theory is only a small piece of a larger puzzle that is the game. A lot of this theory is the belief that Kojima isn't adapting Egyptian Mythology and Ancent Egyptian customs/culture directly but being heavily inspired by it. He is also inspired by different periods of Egyptian Mythology like Horus originally being one of the 5 children of Nut then becoming the son of Osiris and Isis. Remember that Kojima is a big Egyptian fanboy ever since Zone of the Enders.
Let's begin!
The setting of the game takes place in 2 worlds. The living world which is where the main game-play takes place. The living world is represented in the trailers as lush natural vistas and decaying environments/buildings plagued by the apparitions. The second world is the underworld or as the Egyptians called it **"**Duat". This is represented by the underwater segment in trailer 3. It appears in the real world partially through the apparitions, oil, and timefall. Trailer 4's description talks of a world utterly transformed by the Death Stranding. What does that mean?
I believe that the 4th explosion Sam mentions in trailer 3 is an explosion that causes the the real world and Duat to layer on top of each other or mirror each other. This causes instability in both worlds. Death Stranding can literally mean that death is at a stand still. How does Egyptian mythology play into this? In Egyptian mythology when people die they must journey across Duat to be judged by Anubis in the presence of Osiris. So while Duat is layered with the living world, hints of it seep into the real world with the angered apparitions and timefall. The angry apparitions are souls of the dead who did not make the journey for the final judgement because of Death Stranding. The journey as a soul is most likely impossible to undertake alone now because of this event. Where does Sam Bridges (Norman Reedus) and the living world fit in?
Sam Bridges is a porter who not only transports goods but also embalmed corpses "mummies" in their journey to reach the final judgement (scales).This journey is talked about in the Book of the dead and book of gates. In Ancient Egypt, the duty of embalming a corpse and carrying out the funeral rites is called Sem (heh) Priest. Sam is probably a Sem Priest porter or something. His job as a sem priest porter is to help the soul reach the final judgement. The reason why the apparitions are attacking Sam and his buddies are because they are alive and/or they are transporting mummies. They aren't supposed to be mingling with the dead.
The journey itself and the soul is paved with many dangers in "Duat, a land full of gods, demons, and monsters, many of which were out to kill the soul that tried to pass through. These creatures would prey on the souls of the dead." Also based on the trailers, they preyed on the living. That giant figure standing and the creature swimming above water could be those demons and monsters in Duat. When Sam dies from a voidout he is transported directly to Duat and not the mirrored chiral world. His soul splits in two which is his ka (the body where his soul presides) and the ba (his soul). This is seen in trailer 3 in the underwater scene, the body laying there is his ka and the one awake is his ba. When Sam comes back to life his ka and ba combine to form the Akh. He becomes an effective being who can die repeatedly with knowledge of how to combat the apparitions aka DOOMS. So far him and Lea Seydoux are the only ones confirmed to be Akh's.
On to the some of the characters in the trailers.
Mads Mikkelsen is based off of two gods well one if you know the story well enough. The Mads you see in trailer two with the soldiers is most likely based off of Osiris, god of the underworld and agriculture. He granted life, the sprouting of vegetation and the flooding of the Nile River. He is also described as "He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful" and "the lord of silence". (oh boy the implications). The hooded figure you see in trailer three is also Mads but he is no longer Osiris. He has been killed by his brother Set and has been reborn as Horus the younger/child. This hooded figure is different from Troy Baker's character in trailer 5 simply by the behavior and different clothing (?). This is a possible reach. The shhh finger movement is also used as a symbol of Horus.
Troy Baker is based off of either Ra or Set. Most likely Set.He is the foil and enemy of Osiris and Horus but he is also not a bad person, think of him as a trickster type deity. He is responsible for killing Osiris. In Egyptian Mythology he goes through many changes good and esteemed god > Bad (kills Osiris) > protector of Ra but has negative personality. Set is a cocky god who demanded to be treated with respect. I'm giving background on Set so you can kinda understand who Troy Baker is potentially playing.
The five floating figures are potentially Ra, Shu (air), Tefnut (moisture), Gebnut (earth), and Nut (sky) with Nut being the one in the middle. My conjecture is because Nut gives birth to Osiris, Set, Horus the Elder, Isis, and Nephthys.
Expanded Evidence
Based on the theory I have I think the order of the trailers is 2 > 5 > 3 > 1 > 4.
The Robotic arms, crying, and the eye of ra/horus are all connected. The robotic arms that Sam and his gang have are amulets of the Eye of Horus also known as the all-seeing eye. The eye symbolizes protection, royal power, and good health. It is also used to protect the Pharaoh in the afterlife and ward off evil. The robotic arms sense danger and the mummies are basically Pharaohs undertaking their journey. The robotic arms that Mad's and Troy's character have are the Eye of Ra which represents his destructive and aggressive abilities. The Eye of Ra can also be personified by other goddesses. I'll expand on that in a sec, this discovery blew my mind. So as we've noticed, characters with DOOMS shed a tear. The Eye of Horus when shattered is represented by six pieces. One piece which is 1/64 or the tear drop represents touch. We can maybe correlate that they can sense or feel when the apparitions are nearby.
Back to the Eye of Ra. When Ra was super pissed at mankind because they weren't following laws or preserving justice, he sent an aspect of his daughter, "the eye of ra" down towards earth in the form of a fucking lion. What did Troy Baker summon? An Analion.
The oil or water that causes aging/timefall could be inspired by "nun" which is the primordial water that is the beginning and end of all things.
The color black is often associated fertility and resurrection in Ancient Egypt. It can also be associated with chaos and outsiders. The outsiders being the apparitions.
The color red can be associated with life or also represent chaos, rage, and fire. It was also closely associated with Set.
Edit 1: Gold is associated with the skin color of the gods and symbolizes power. The gold masks on the embalmed corpses are a way for the soul to remember what it looks like.
I had a theory that was borderline reaching based on the handprints of naked Norman Reedus. The handprints could symbolize a leopard print. The relation to egyptian mythology was the Opening of the mouth ritual and how sem priests would wear leopard print during the rituals.
I had more stuff to write but I haven't slept yet and I'm running on fumes so If I remember anything when I wake up, I'll edit the post. Feel free to dissect and research some more stuff. There's a lot of stuff in the book of the dead. If this stuff proves to be key plot points in the story, Kojima is a fucking god. I still don't know what he meant by reconnecting the world or how it will play out. A lot of this is conjecture and again, only uncovers part of the overarching story, themes, and potential gameplay.
Edit 2: Guillermo Del Toro and Lindsay Wagner's character are still unknown factors IMO.
Edit 3: i just remembered, when Troy Baker summons Analion there is an upside down rainbow in the background. I should have mentioned that upside down rainbows are more evidence of Duat.
Edit 4: I believe that the babies are not any gods because there are now confirmed to be multiple babies. I think they are Ankhs and holy shit I just discovered a potential lead.
Actions speak louder than words and Kojima's actions speak the loudest. Also have you ever seen what Troy Baker looks like? It's no wonder Hideo Kojima didn't want anybody knowing he'd be in the game. Troy Baker is pretty much close to a working professional in the game's industry who happens to look like a live action Ocelot. Again if this weren't true then why all the secrecy in regards to Troy Baker of all things? Why put his character in a mask? We already well aware that various other actors, i.e. Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen, Lidsay Wagner Norman Reedus have all lended their likeness to their characters; I'd imagine the same is going to be for Troy.
Furthermore, what's Troy Baker's character doing here specifically? He's summoning a big cat whilst talking about: 'tweaking the rules...' Come on... I get symbolism; but that's not even close to being subtle; it's a jack hammer to the skull. Ocelot wants to be seen as the king of the jungle afterall, an Ocelot with the pride of a lion. Pretty blatant. In addition to the context of trailer 2; Mads's character in particular happens to just look like The Sorrow looking for his son during D-Day 1945. Ocelot was born on D-Day after-all. After The Boss had given birth on the battlefields of Normandy he was taken by an agent of The Philosophers.
Both this character and Mads have a similar pointing gesture. (Just like The Sorrow and Ocelot.) If this had absolutely zero connection to Metal Gear as a universe then why does its origin suspiciously tie to 1945 Normandy D-Day? You'd have throught that for an new IP Kojima would be more original; not copy and paste the entire origin story template from Metal Gear Solid. It's clearly not just some random series of events; there must be a ryhme and reason to all this. Therefore if the whole thing was indeed a lovecraftian style nightmare within a A.I. (The Boss's mind became the base of The Patriots A.I.) all of these connections would make a lot of sense.
Not to mention people originally assumed that the hooded figure in the third trailer was Mads; all this time it was Troy Baker. Which means Mads's character is mainly tied to the events of 1945, but I could be wrong. He just, so happens to be the same age as The Sorrow would potentially be during that time period...
I love it how most of his protagonists have this serene sorrow to their face yet resolute to be certified bad ass like Liam Neesom and so far Norman Reedus is acing those aesthetics and his game's also have this set of sorrow that flows like the warm summer breeze throughout the plot that embraces the player and rewards the player with a huge amount of joy when the characters sort of break those forms and do something innocent and cute
In no particular order these would definitely be my nominees:
What would be your nominees (and why)?
IF Death Stranding is actually Metal Gear And Mads character is The Sorrow who is Ocelots father. The baby is Ocelot. The boss is Ocelots mother. Who do you think is Norman Reedus character? He does resemble the appearance of a Snake character somewhat. Given the timeline if he is A Snake, you would have to assume he would be Big Bosses father... I’m not saying he has to be a Snake but if he is than that’s what I’m guessing. What do you guys think?
I see that the Gold Mask character is voiced by Troy Baker but that doesn’t rule out that Gold Mask and Sorrow aren’t the same character. It could be similar To the switcharoo in MGS1 with miller/Liquid
Or maybe The Gold Mask character is The Sorrow and Mads character is someone else.
So I checked some early reviews for the premiere episode and all of them were very opened about the fact the Daryl is the character that impressed them the most, besides the fact that he finally got natural conversation and dialogues with other characters the most important news are the fact that Rick made him the leader at the Sanctuary. I knew that Angela Kang sayd that Daryl will start at the Sanctuary and Reedus teased that Daryl found his voice again and that he will be a person the people look up to but I didn't expected this at all, I kinda like this idea even with how things played in the comics at that time because it makes sense for Rick to put in charge a leader considering the Survivors and the Saviors just had a war. Daryl kinda fits for this part considering lots of workers could look up to him since he didn't accepted Negan's ways back in season 7.
Seems like there's a scene on the road with Daryl and Cyndie when they go to DC and they are talking about Marle most probably about Cyndie's brother too. There's always a delight to keep Merle's spirit alive on the show because he played a big iconic part in the show's early days.
He's also telling Rick that he's missing being on the road, that with a smaller group they can do anything and that he's uncomfortable with him being put in charge at the Sanctuary. And this is where I want to start because the character got a lot of potential.
I can see Rick playing power games for keeping his friend close encouraging him to step up after he choosed to keep Negan alive, besides the fact that he's trusting Daryl the most.
Dwight took over the Saviors in the comics but the idea of Rick putting someone in charge excited me being an interesting remix from the comics.
Daryl hates the Saviors basically because they reminded him of the man he used to be before the apocalypse, the man that he hates now. Nothing better for his character than to conquer the things that he hates and fears. I do think he's some sort of a sub-leader considering that the Sanctuary is under Rick's judgment but it's gonna be interesting to see the guy who was the janitor when Negan burned Mark's face in front of everybody becoming the leader now.
We saw Daryl in the latest teaser that he's too looking at the Saviors save us, we are still Negan. Also he's very active working on the bridge with the Saviors (the workers at least) from what we saw but Justin, Jed, Regina and Arat are still Negan so that's that.
Sorry for making it a long post. Thanks for reading.
