If you ’ve see Amazing Spider - Man 2,you might know that the moving-picture show has a few number . We’ve just pick up a new one , and it ’s very mayhap the most infuriating falderol yet . call back the clichéd German huffy scientist named Kafka who torture Elektro ? Well , that ’s really hypothesize to be a desperate female scientist , a character base on a real somebody .
According toan excellent interview with her byVanity Fair , Krayda Kafka is a certified remedial hypnotiser who counseled Spider - Man author J.M. DeMatteis , and whom he compensate homage to by naming a scientist quality after her in The Spectacular Spider - Man in 1991 . She ’s help Spidey on more than a few occasions and lately break down in the comics . She was by all odds one of the good guys .
Now see Dr. Kafka of The Amazing Spider - Man 2 .
Yes , the moving-picture show move around a expansive distaff scientist into a clichéd German mad scientist whose only aim was to torture Elektro for … no intellect , actually . Because he was lift wholesale from a risky Nazi motion picture , and that what Nazi mad scientist do , they torture people for no discernible determination .
I ’m not going to feign that the original Kafka persona was an essential part of the Spidey universe , but she was important enough that Spider - Man avenge her death ( read The Superior Spider - Man for that story ) . And I do n’t recall director Marc Webb said “ A distaff scientist ? Why , that ’s craziness ! Turn this character into a gentleman’s gentleman , immediately ! ” or anything like that .
What bugs me mostly is that the Dr. Kafka of the movie was unbelievably arbitrary and wholly horrible . It was a one - dimensional character , a tired , overused cliché that anyone who took a college originative writing class should eff to avoid . And then someone decided to assign this pitiful abscess of imagery the name of a fiber who was the reverse of it in every fashion because they did n’t give a diddly-squat — about the original fictional Kafka character , about the real woman who root on her , about Spider - Man fans , or about their audience , all of whom deserve better . Bleh .
