Wow! Looking forward to the painted piece.

Not really understanding this one. It looks like she's tripping and falling - the pose doesn't speak to her abilities in any way, and the base is extremely boring, basic, and way too large. Not to mention that weird looking face. I am curious to see how they manage the hooded head though - I'm assuming it will come in multiple pieces, but casting that must be a nightmare.

I actually like the pose. It tells a story to me. I am having a hard time understanding the point/need for that base, though. There's nothing about it that makes me think it adds to the statue by being what it is. I think a corner of a building roof or something would work better, and not need to be so tall.

This needs to include a Deadpool thought bubble that says, "I'm flying Jack"

The base reminds me of the comic cover of Superman standing on the same or similar looking base

This reminds me of the Spider-Man 2 movie with Emma Stone as Gwen. Spider-Man was in this same pose in the beginning of the move ...only he was more horizontal. The pose looked more natural for him. Maybe this Spider-Gwen would look more natural if she was more horizontal ...but how do you do that and still have structural support for this statue?

I had the same thought. Here's what I think would look really cool:

I actually like that idea, but the eagle is too what-the-****ish for me.


I was considering a clock tower or bridge to connect to Gwen; but it'll look like she's committing suicide.


Your idea is really cool!

the base either needs to be much more detailed and/or about half the size is is now. otherwise the body looks really cool, the face is a little iffy right now but i'll reserve judgment until it's painted

So this is not the base it's coming with... thank goodness.

Yup, something like that. Or even if she is just a tad more horizontal than how she is now so that she is not looking up towards the sky. I think that would look so much more natural.

I forget the actual building this base comes from but funny it's a copyright issue now. Superman and Bucky Cap have used it at a much smaller scale, I wouldn't doubt if other statues have, too. I guess they finally got fed up with it being so freely used.

I believe it's the Chrysler building in New York.

This whole piece should be redone. The pose is strange and too symmetrical. The unmasked head is very odd. Hair is ok but the hairline looks strange as well. The base isn't final but it's clearly too large. This is extremely lackluster and odd looking for an XM piece. Hulk is the only XM piece so far that doesn't hit their quality bar IMO but this is even worse.

I like everything but the base. I think the pose is dynamic and fanciful and refreshing. Like she is being released from her cares by being able to use her abilities and soar. I just don't see the need for such an enormous base that doesn't add anything to the depiction of the character I am seeing.

+1.

We'll see what they come up with now wince the base got the axe, but I love the pose and the portraits.

When I looked at it all I could hear was that song "Fly like an Eagle"

Seems only a few of us actually understood the concept of the base and pose....
