There’s an uncomfortable sense among the gaming community, as industry layoff numbers stack up, project after project is cancelled, and as console life cycles slow, that we’re on the cusp of a bit of a video game dry spell. That feeling isn’t totally unfounded - there are very few AAA game release dates announced for the second half of this year, and the AA market isn’t exactly hopping either. All three console communities - Switch, Xbox, and Playstation - are feeling empty on the games front right now, and only the Switch has the excuse of a new box being imminent. And even that’s still technically just a rumor!
Redditor Reveals Detail That Makes Spider-Man 2's Doc Ock Even More Interesting

Alfred Molina's Doc Ock from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 has seen a resurgence in popularity after his high-profile MCU debut, and one fan has taken the time between appearances to learn something interesting about the character’s design.
WhileSpider-Manhas always been insanely popular, the character would see new heights of success when Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy rolled out in the early 2000s, starring Tobey Maguire in the lead role. Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy is still the best version to many, and one delightful part of the franchise was Molina's role as Otto Octavius, a brilliant scientist who creates a set of eight smart mechanical arms akin to an octopus' and fuses them to his body for use handling hazardous materials, eventually succumbing to their psychotic influence after an accident damages inhibitors put in place to protect him.
Molina's Doc Ock returned in Spider-Man: No Way Hometo Raimi's delight and the delight of fans of both generations of Spider-Man, including Reddit user HunterCoool22, who would take to the platform’s r/marvelstudios subreddit to share an interesting fact about the iconic villain. In a post titled “Doc Ock's character reflects the animal he’s based on more than you think,” HunterCoool22 would describe a peculiarity in the biology of cephalopods while praising the film’s rendition of the trait in Molina's Doc Ock. “Unlike vertebrates who have a highly centralized nervous system that is controlled entirely by a central brain, cephalopods (like the octopus) have multiple neuron clusters and ganglia throughout their body. These clusters mean the octopus basically has multiple brains (9 to be exact) that control each part of the body on their own”
The user goes on to elaborate further, expressing the sort of details in Raimi's trilogythat Spider-Man 4 should emulate. “One cluster is the central dominant brain that receives most of the information gathered, while the other 8 control the arms and basically act as 'mini-brains' that can operate independently from the main central brain. This allows them to solve problems that are impossible for most other creatures. Otto designed his arms with the same purpose in mind, but unfortunately as we all know, it didn’t go as planned.” This multi-mind state can be seen clearly in the film via the well-directed, almost lifelike movement of the arms and Molina's phenomenal performance.
The Raimi trilogy had its bumps, but the films have become much more widely appreciated as the Spider-Man brand grew with Andrew Garfield's films and Tom Holland's record-setting Home trilogy. Its two decades of relevance prove that the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy changed everything and gave the others that came after the launching point needed to transfer
