[edit] Necroplasm

Please expand the Necroplasm article.

[edit] Race importance

Does the change of skin colour really warrant such heavy and badly written discussion?

[edit] Sequel

A new sequel has been mentioned at this site[1], which got its information from the current Wizard magazine. Posting this here if anyone wants to make a section out of it on the article or wants to keep an eye on it. Nehrams2020 08:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lead characeter in the film

I deleted the paragraph detailing how the character of Al was portrayed as white in the film, this is not true. The actor was Michael Jai White. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.63.116.72 (talk) 14:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion about who plays what character. The lead character, Spawn aka Al Simmons was indeed played by an African-American, Michael Jai White. However, Terry Fitzgerald (Al Simmon's best friend and an African-American in the comic book) was played by D. B. Sweeney (a white actor). The article was correct in noting this change from the comic book.

Please investigate the above wikilinks if there's anymore confusion. I'll revert the edit for the umpteenth time, but I'll try and make the article clearer so we don't run into this problem again.

[edit] missing from the plot

Near the end of the the plot summary it says "Wynn goes to prison after the bomb inside him is destroyed" Bomb? What bomb? It doesn't say anything about a bomb. RJFJR 20:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Different versions

It would be useful if the article could elaborate a little further on the differences between the theatrical version and the Director's Cut. Annie D 08:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Spawnsoundtrackcover.jpg

Image:Spawnsoundtrackcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DVD Easter Eggs

The Spawn DVD contains two Easter Eggs (1) a Marilyn Manson Video and (2) the Clown's Backwards Line. I own the Director's Cut DVD and verifed both exist on this version. The video is titled Long Hard Road Out of Hell and is here on YouTube. I'd like to see this disclosed within the main article. Are there any objections or concerns? Conrad T.
