Otto Octavius (film character)Otto Octavius (Sam Raimi film series) – This article was cut-paste moved from Draft:Otto Octavius (Sam Raimi film series) (with a histmerge already requested), but this current title is not WP:CONSISTENT with the other character articles in Category:Spider-Man (2002 film series). Note that it doesn't matter that Octavius also appears in an MCU film, as he did not originate from that franchise. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Page name

edit

Shouldn't this page be called Otto Octavius (Sam Raimi film series) to be consistant with the other Sam Raimi pages like Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi film series), Harry Osborn (Sam Raimi film series), and Peter Parker (Sam Raimi film series)? 2600:1014:B00A:E93D:7D7E:2CAE:24E0:E50C (talk) 16:45, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please see this discussion. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
The other way around might be better. As in the others might need to be renamed for concistency. Jhenderson 777 04:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
That was my initial thought as well, but then an IP raised a good point in the aforementioned discussion. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:25, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
That is a fair point. Although we should be prepared if things change and there is another incarnation of Otto Octavius. Technically there was one or two unnamed male Doctor Octopus cameos in the Spider-Verse movie. But that seems minor. Jhenderson 777 06:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I would personally like to see the page renamed to "Otto Octavius (Sam Raimi film series)" because he is not an MCU character. If the Green Goblin from the original trilogy is called "Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)", why can't the same be said for this? - Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) / 12:52PM / February 14, 2022
Read the previous discussion linked in the first comment by InfiniteNexus. This disambiguation isn't because the character also appeared in the MCU, it's because it's the only iteration of the character strictly called "Otto Octavius" that has appeared in film. —El Millo (talk) 18:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Page name and main image

edit

I get that Doctor Octopus appeared in an MCU film, but he's not really an MCU character and only appeared via multiverse. This page should be titled "Otto Octavius (Sam Raimi film series)" as it's the franchise he originated from and the main image in this article should be the image from Spider-Man 2. Please consider it. - Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) / 1:00PM / February 14, 2022

I agree the infobox image should be from Spider-Man 2 as his main and more relevant appearance. —El Millo (talk) 18:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
The OP attempted to use a certain image. So I helped this out since he was not that knowledgeable on that. I agree that Spider-Man 2 is a better featured choice. Though the image chosen might not be the best choice since he he is not facing the image. Jhenderson 777 07:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Update: Did a different image instead. This time a jpg. Hope that is better. Jhenderson 777 08:54, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
May I ask why we couldn't use the promotional image like the one used for Norman Osborn (Sam Raimi film series)? - Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) / 12:05AM / February 16, 2022
I just felt like an image of front view was better. I do welcome other thoughts in case anyone feels differently. Jhenderson 777 07:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
