that there are no symbiotes or monsters of any kind. Let's pretend that Spider-Man works ALONE & has no time to devote to cat-burglars, reformed or otherwise. Let's pretend that nobody by any name other than Osborn has ever tossed a pumpkin. Let's pretend that Sony's not going to waste time & money on lame-os like the Spot & Kangaroo.

a villain tha spidey physically can't take in an all out battle because gargan has been designed to be BETTER
One that you have to see spidey using his applied knowledge to be able to defeat, by the constructions of spidey tracer, web enchancer (possibly mixing his ordinary webbing with concrete), and just happenin to be able to use his surroundings to come out on top (jackie chan style)
I'd like to see an intelligent spiderman, one that starts off ol joky at the beginnig of the film, but becomes deadly serious at the end when he realises that Gargan could crush him without a thought, only to pull the GREATEST one liner ever right at the end of the tension.

Don't worry OtepApe, i've known for a while how you've felt about Gargan, and i think it's great that you can see his awesome potential as a realistic villain.
With also Kraven and Mysterio, i think the line of realistic villains for spidey is starting to run slightly thin....

Chris Wallace
12-02-2004, 08:16 PM
I'd love to see Scorpion, although I'd like to see his origin tweaked a little bit; I dunno who, but JJJ shouldn't be responsible for creating him, b/c that makes him a criminal & he should just be a jerk.
Sandman would be cool, & he's a fave of Tobey's, but it would take a hell of a script to sell him as he's always been kind of a low-tier villain.
Electro-likewise. Although something along the lines of "Light the Night" could work. Plus I'd like to see a villain who was always bad as opposed to the victims we've been seeing.
Mysterio would be awesome. A failed Hollywood FX man w/a Spidey fixation has the makings of a great supervillain.
Kraven-a hard sell. If they're not careful, he comes across as a knockoff of either the Crocodile Hunter or "Crocodile" Dundee.
Chameleon-he's too limited. I can't really see him working on film. Go with the masks & you've got Ethan Hunt; go w/the techno-morphing & you've got a bargain-basement Mystique. Either way he's a pretty two-dimensional character w/not a lot to offer. And I'm still resistant to the two villains notion.
Kingpin's not gonna happen & he shouldn't. Let Spidey deal w/the genetically twisted freaks, at least as far as his main nemeses go, & leave the gangsters to the likes of DD & the Punisher.

1-What happens in video games doesn't matter. I doubt Raimi & Co. would focus on that.
2-it doesn't necessarily have to be Jameson who funds it; Scorpion doesn't even have to be designed specifically to take Spidey out; maybe just to upstage him. And even if JJJ were behind it, he recanted anything positive he said about SPidey upon realizing he was back in action.
And we don't want Harry to hire any more hitmen.

He's still responsible. Plus, Spider-Man is still a human being w/legal rights. He's not wanted for any particular crime that would justify hunting him down, & he's certianly not some terrorist that you can legally kill on sight.

But not one punishable by death. Especially since he doesn't kill people. The most he's guilty of is maybe obstructing justice and/or assault & battery. And even that's debatable. If you see a thief running out of a store & you trip him, what would the law do to you? Probably nothing, as long ass no innocent bystanders got hurt.

Shocker's kinda iffy; I've liked what I've seen him do in comics & he's a pain in the rump on the game, but the SPider-Man movies aren't just about Spider-Man & whoever he's fighting, but the men behind the masks. Herman Schultz is not a very interesting character once he takes those gauntlets off.

shocker in the movies could play a part almost identical to his usm counterpart.
This thread has one me to Scorpion... he would rock...
If Harry is the villain, then Shocker would make a great opening scene villain. A big five-ten minute sequence where he tries to rob a bank and gets beaten by Spider-Man. I think that's about right at Shocker's level of villainy.
Scorpion as a superhero funded by Jameson to be a "real" superhero. Something like a former police detective who, through Spider-Man's actions or inactions, was wounded so that he had to give up being a cop. He blames Spider-Man and gets put in the suit. But he doesn't wear a mask (well, he does, but he admits to his true identity I mean). Eventually he goes insane and tries to kill Spider-Man.
Electro as... I don't know, a crimelord or something. One with a badass costume and mega-superpowers trying to kill Spidey. Because, lets face it. Electro roxxors your boxers.

As far as other villain possibilites fitting the criteria of this thread---Electro would be a great villain both character and power-wise. Mysterio and Sandman would both be good choices for kickass visuals. Maybe Kraven, but only if some elements from Kraven's Last Hunt are used. Scorpion could be interesting, but he'd have to be the menacing Scorpion that was originally created as opposed to the character he's become today. Rhino could make for a fun, short opening fight scene in a movie.

Well, Vulture would only work for me as an opening fight kind of a guy. (After the last two movies, is anybody going to buy Peter Parker getting his butt handed to him by a geriatric for two hours?)
Agree with Mysterio and Sandman--they also fit the tone of the last two movies well. Scorpion might work for me, but only if he was paired with another villian, or maybe as part of the Six.

Ironically, I wrote an opening fight for Vulture in my Spider-Man 3 script. Trust me, it is RIDICULOUSLY easy to write quips against Vulture. He's an old bald guy who dresses like a bird! Although if GG2 is going to be the villain, I don't think both villains should be aerial combat villains. I'd prefer Shocker or Rhino. They're classic lackey types.

One thing about some of these characters.. Electro, Shocker, Sandman,Scorpion, Mysterio, Vulture, Kraven The Hunter, Chameleon , Rhino they are great villians, and I would like to see them on screen, but some them would need to be tweaked as Chris said.
I love Shocker and would make a great visual, but his character some of his powers needs to be worked on. Scorpion is great and has somewhat of a good origin. Electro is a great visual but working on a power line and getting powers is somewhat lame.. you would just be electrocuted. Kraven if using some of the character from right before he died in comics was great in the "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline.
Vulture's costume/ appearance and character could be worked on somewhat. Sandman is a great visual, but really needs to be worked on as far as character development. Chameleon would work somewhat if he was working for another villian or crimeboss and possibly the same with Rhino.
Mysterio could work great visually and story wise. Mysterio is probably the leat of the villians mentioned you would have to work on.
Remember working on these characters or character development is not bad if done the right way.
Mr. Freeze was a lame Batman villian I did not care too much for until Bruce Timm came and worked on his origin for the Batman animated series and Freeze became one of my favorates.

The Ceb-Man!I don't remember actually saying that they'd need to be tweaked, but they would. Hell, Ock & GG were tweaked.
So you must have really hated "Batman & Robin". i've always thought (since the Bruce Timm reimagining, anyway) that Freeze was the most sympathetic of Batman's villains. The Joker could wear makeup. Two-Face could get a skin graft. Ivy can control the toxins in her body which means she could just choose not to use them. But if I had to wear a refrigerator everywhere I went-because I tried to keep my wife alive-hell, yeah I'd wanna freeze everything!

Scorpion is even worse... other being stronger n faster... he makes it up by being an even bigger idiot... almost RHINO level.
n
SHOCKER is just a plain thug...
MYSTERIO... maybe... if its cleverly done.
Who else !?... HOBGOBLIN... DEMOGOBLIN !?... no
BUT
Maybe they can pull of a MAN-SPIDER story...
PETER would the hero AND the villain... it would something fresh.
mysterio can bring down the whole movie by himself

Yes... interesting... tht's good for a series or comics...
BUT
Not good enuf to carry an entire movie.
n
besides like I said... he's no where near an intellectual match for PETE.
If you check carefully all of his main villains are scary 'cause of their metal capabilites.
GOBLIN.................. now if I need to explain this...... u need to stop calling urself a SPIDEY fan n crawl into a hole n never show ur face again.
OCK...................... complex psychological character... way bigger genius thn PETE... very tactical.
VENOM................. another psychologically complex character...... knows EVERYTHING about PETER....... damn cunning..... relentless........ n ofcoure...... scares PETER
CARNAGE............. JOKER with a passion for murder n..... oh ofcourse a super power symbiote.
After these........ how CAN you take the other villains like VULTURE... SCORPION...n ELECTRO seriously !?
So what if they have real power.... they r still idiots.

carnage was a poor choice for intelligents... hes just psychotic... and venom just knows things.. hes not intelligent.
Vulture, Kraven, Chameleon and Lizard are all fairly intelligent...
though i agree Vulture could not carry a movie... though if you really knew electro.. you would know he could... though i think he'd work better with a team up with sandman or hydro-man, those are 2 deadly combos because well water conducts electricity and sandman wouldnt be electrocuted... though sandman would be a secondary villain and electro the main one..
Scorpion on the other hand has a GREAT story, and he doesnt have to be intelligent to be a leading villain... Scorpion and Lizard have the best storys that are left next to Venom (who will not be in spidey 3)

that there are no symbiotes or monsters of any kind. Let's pretend that Spider-Man works ALONE & has no time to devote to cat-burglars, reformed or otherwise. Let's pretend that nobody by any name other than Osborn has ever tossed a pumpkin. Let's pretend that Sony's not going to waste time & money on lame-os like the Spot & Kangaroo. Now, what villains would you really like to see? :spidey:
The first, the best, the most obvious choice: ELECTRO!
Runner's-up:
*Scorpion
*Shocker should show up somewhere, what a neat cameo that would be;
*Best-case scenario: THE ENTIRE S6! And that means everybody, INCLUDING Ock and INCLUDING Vulture, but not Venom because Venom belongs nowhere near the Six. And I want to hear no whining from Sony about how they cant afford that, because after the last two movies they should just about be owning the world.

Dude... I KNOW Electro quite well... I still don't think he can carry a movie all by himself... he's just.... TOO THUG LIKE !!!
You're forgetting in the movie it would start with ELECTRO's origin... not the current ELECTRO.
Granted ELECTRO has become much cooler n deadlier than before... but I still get over his old self.
HMMM...
BUT
SAND-MAN... HYDRANT-MAN n ELECTRO team up would BE something exceptional.... I like it... I like it a lot.
KRAVEN, CHAMELEON n specially MYSTERIO in my opinion CAN carry the movie BUT the writer has to VERY VERY good and the story has to be VERY cleverly put to make them look act n FEEL atleast AS menacing as the Doc n Gobby.
Scorpion... I don't know... he's too dumb for my taste...
Sure I read a lot with him in it... but I just can't take him seriously...
Electro can atleast say he's beaten the living crap outta spidey n went toe to toe with Nate Grey.
Shocker... I really... REALLY wanna see him like in the ULT SPIDEY... he comes to rob a bank or armoured... then SPIDEY wraps up his hands with webbing n he "SHOCKS" himself to unconsciousness.
Another guy I can't take seriously.
Other than KRAVEN... MYSTERIO... SANDMAN... ELECTRO... CHAMELEON n KINGPIN.. n ofcourse... THE LIZARD
I can't find any other villains tht would look cool... or as menacing.

Mysterio's "fishbowl" helmet could look very interesting if you just did something with it--like have it faceted in some weird way, or have shallow designs carved on the surface.
Kraven I'm going to have to disagree with--the guy's one good arc was "Last Hunt" and there's no WAY Raimi's going to do that one.

I wouldnt say that exactly, Kraven looked pretty sweet in the MTV series.. so costume isn't a problem, then switch out vermin and put in Lizard and that story would play out very well.
Mysterio i agree with too.. his costume could look awsome, i picture his helmet in a cracked crystalic form so you couldnt see his face at all. I think it would look sweet.

BapMan, you say that Gargan is dumb, but in real life if you are going to be a private eye, you have to be pretty sharp.
they have to make him realistic, with a realistic paranoia about being called names and make spidey a real hate figure for him. Not unlike the other villains that dislike him, but there needs to be a genuine hate, there (on the same level as Harry in some circumstances but with a much bigger temper)
plus gargan can also be giving the TOAD treatment in Xmen, and for me he came off as the most convincing and useful henchmen. pretty much taking care of cyclops, jean and storm all on his lonesome. no one would have expected that from toad:o
Gargan just needs his screen time to get a modern revamp, then all the writers will begin to cream over him, and he'll finally get the credit in the comics that he truelly deserves. Heck i'm suprised he hasn't killed anyone in spidey's life, or broken his back or something hardcore like that. Fighting scorpion SHOULD have spidey at his most agile and strong at the same time, and he should still lose. beating gargan should always be a last minute resort of using some local prop that happens to be able to swings things into spideys advantage.
man, i'm sorry if i'm ranting, but i think scorpion can become an all time great villain on the screen if people just put a little faith in him.

Naaa Dude... you ain't Ranting...
I think you've come up with a BRILLIANT idea.
Seriously... he could get the TOAD treatment... they could change his "dumb" character into like a cool "HUMPHRY BOGURT" Private Eye style character... with some mental probs about being called names.
I mean you're perfectly right... TOAD is such a loser in the cartoons n comics but in the movie he was one of the coolest characters.
If SCORPION gets the same treatment then I'm game.
That would rock sooo much that its not funny.
BTW... SCORPION is faster [running not movement] n stronger than SPIDEY.
In real life its the same.
Scorpions don't hunt Spiders that are as big or bigger than them.

12-09-2004, 06:20 AM
i thought scorpions were one of a few natural predators of the spider, hence why it was chosen in the first place. maybe it only refers to certain spiders and scorpions in particular
I think scorpion is supposed to be stronger than spidey, but i've seen in recent times that he's not as fast. This can be translated to screen in a way like this.
pete gets complacent with his powers and he's not being really pushed to the limits by normal thugs
Scorpion comes on the scene and does serious SERIOUS damage. spidey goes on a whine, but realises that he can do this if he just concentrates, and fights at his very peak. He goes at it again and still gets clobbered. Then spidey goes and does some research, and learns more about gargan (i've written this all up in a fan treatment, so it makes sense to me, how this links up, don't worry, i'll post it one day once i'v finished) he goes and gets prepared this time. he still gets the crap beaten out of him, but he manages to get gargans tail off (for this instance assume he's just ripped it off in rage and beaten him with it). Gargan looses his current centre of gravity, and he get's beaten up pretty badly in a revenge type beating, but parker calms down and spits out something like
I'm not gonna kill you, i'm not the punisher. If you didn't recognise the costume, i'm spiderman
and then everything else sorts itself out in the film.
oh man, thinking about it just makes my eyes want to water. it's going to be sooooooo ****ing gooooooood......

then near the end Pete goes all out Spider sense autopilot n mad dodging. :eek:

Scorpion is ONE he won't have hold back on... they can go crazy with each others powers.
BASH through trains... use cars like baseball bats.
I mean THIS one right now has the COOLEST potential. :cool:
Even better than SCORPION since he's more like an animal than a thinker.

It's all about gargan, Gargan is as far from reality that you could get.
plus they could also steal and modify Otto octavius' tentacle technology to develop his tail, so the science isn't even far fetched.
And you're right, we do need some autopilot spidey sense scenes, maybe we can see parker has his eyes closed in his suit or something, and he's just going completley crazy bouncing around and stuff. Almost too fast for the human eye, but not quite fast enough to keep gargan confused.
And forget spidey holding out, let's talk about gargan not holding out. imagine the first time spdiey cracks a funny against gargan and just watching him go crazy. Spidey is web slinging away thinking he's one, gargan leaps above him on his web line, cuts it and cathes spidey, and swings him into straight through a billboard into JJJ's office into the bugle. then spidey spits a line
'er.. Did anyone order for a slightly concussed superhero, with extra bruises?'
before being yanked out of the bugle, and dropped right into a parked car down below.
spidey needs to feel the pain, he dishes out tenfold, and everyone knows it.
Gargan is Painman.....
c'mon peeps, this is the national progression after the goblins are done. Gargan for 4

I'd love to see some hardcore SPIDEY action this time around... catching SPIDEY in midswing n odging n fighting while still in swing.
Let go of the web... flip n pull on Gargan's tail.
as they fall punches n kicks fly... Petes wraps him in web with one hand n shoots towards a building with another.
Gargan falls... n in mid fall rip open the webs n flips n lands perfectly on the street.
then runs... slowly jumps over small building onto big big ones.
then slams into spidey in midair

I don't remember actually saying that they'd need to be tweaked, but they would. Hell, Ock & GG were tweaked.
So you must have really hated "Batman & Robin". i've always thought (since the Bruce Timm reimagining, anyway) that Freeze was the most sympathetic of Batman's villains. The Joker could wear makeup. Two-Face could get a skin graft. Ivy can control the toxins in her body which means she could just choose not to use them. But if I had to wear a refrigerator everywhere I went-because I tried to keep my wife alive-hell, yeah I'd wanna freeze everything!
Sorry Chris, I just assumed that was what you were talking about . Some of the villians characater wise were pretty lame and would need some serious character development.

You see if they give spidey a reason for doing it, than it will just serve as a purpose rather than it coming off being cheesy one liners, than it can enhance the action scenes.
This is because Spiderman can't beat Scorpion, but peter parker can seriously attack gargan verbally and that's what we need to see.
spiderman doesn't win all his fights, sometimes he needs help from plain old peter parker.
now if this isn't character building stuff i don't know what is...
don't even get me started on JJJ's envolvement.:o
i've been dreaming of gargan in a sequel since i found out ock was going to be the next villain (i wasn't too pleased, but the way things panned out, makes it even more feasible now)
The only problem is that most of the fans don't want gargan and i don't see why. They would rather have venom. I consider venom and scorpion to essentially in theory be the same character. The only thing is that for some reason Venom has transcended into saint hood, and Gargan has been down rated, even though they've both pretty much had similar (pretty much no) impacts on spidey's life.
This is gargan's last and possibly only chance for history to record him at being the great villain he was supposed to be.

Don't apologize; I re-read my previous posts & it seems I did make that statement after all. Which makes it no more or less true. But again, Ock & GG needed tweaking, too. And whether you liked Dafoe's Goblin suit or not, that purple tunic & elf shoes were not gonna fly.

During the movie as much I've complained.. there REALLY wasn't much FEASABLE way to show his wisecracking without sounding campy like RUSH HOUR or too moody like BLADE.
You are right... I would REALLY... n I mean REALLY like to see a all out no holds barred fight between SPIDEY n someone.
GOBLIN had the potential... but the budget didn't. :p
I'd love to see SPIDEY getting thrashed during the first fight n somehow managing to escape... n slowly show him reaching his physical peakness 'cause of GARGAN.

I don't whether JJJ's involvement would realistic n well... feasable...
I'll keep n open mind about tht...
If they can get away with the OAGANICS... well... let's just say I have faith in them.
Oh well... I LOVED Ock... it was nice how the story progressed... n honestly... Ock IS the 2nd important villain.

VENOM IS my FAV Spidey villain... I'd love to see him too BUT not NOW !!!
Brining him in withing 1 movie ruins the magic n coolness of that is VENOM.
They screwed that up in the ULT SPIDEY
BUT
Look at the Spidey TAS n COMIC... they really took building up his character n his coming.
If they don't do that in the movie... all the people with gr8 ideas r gonna then start b|tching.
I personally don't think VENOM n SCORPION are similar... VENNY cracks jokes on SPIDEY... literally scares him n ofcoure... the damn symbiote is sooo cool.

Well i think it could have been done fine in previous films. Spidey doesn't have to be cocky and say cocky things. He just needs to say what's on his mind. The dude is stressed and getting no sleep, got work and responsibilities up to his eyeballs. The last thing he needs are some villains coming in and pissing him off. It's just laying down the law that happens to come off as funny to us, but not funny to anyone else in the film. Just an absolute wiseass. In fact in the scorpion treatment, you want spidey to be so much of a cocky wiseass in the beginning, that you almost feel good when Gargan is tearing away at him shouting 'SHUT UP SHUT UP WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!' until you see him in a pretty bad way. And in that moment, Parker will smile and realise his greatest weapon against gargan for their next encounter....
Dude... I'll be honest...

I used to be a venom fan as well, it's easy to become one i think. You get taken in by the similar powers, the 1st person plural speech ('we' are venom etc..) the dual voices, the love/hate relationship, the cool suit, and the rest.
But then it hit me that venom has the WOW factor, but in the longevity of things, he's pretty tame, and has yet to cause peter any major upset in his life. AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!!!! she should have done something, killed someone at least (and it doesn't help in ultimate timeline how he manages to fight venom and carnage no probs with no bloody costume either, it just reiterates my point to some extent)
And i think Venom and Scorpion are similar in core, the same type of character was trying to be created. kinda like how ryu and ken were similar right at the beginning of the street fighter ethos, but over time they've slowly become their own characters, but the initial similarities remain.
I've always thought that Gargan has had the potential to top pretty much most bad guys. you can truelly make him a character that everyone truelly hates, even his fans (if you can do that, then you are on to liquid gold). Give him no redeeming features, or any reason to empathise with him, and trust me, we'll be on to a winner. Written carefully, i don't even think Venom could top it. Unless brock's motivation to hate parker is a lot better, but that's just me.
please everyone, just let scorpion into your hearts, and minds.
In battle, he should be able to take out all of spidey's other big timers, except for maybe the slightly more intelligent villains (norman osborn, octavius), heck he should even be able to tame a savage lizard:o
he's fast, intelligent, hateful, lusting in revenge, emotionally weak and slightly unstable. he has no redeeming factors and just wants to be hated by all.
in the end, he is the anomaly, he is the one. Gargan is the one.

Here is my series.
SM1: GG and Young Love.
SM2: Doc Ock and frutation of love.
SM3: Lizard and GG2 and relationship problems and marriage (this would be the longest one of over 2 1/2 hours and the only one to run that long the Good The Bad The Ugly if you will of the RAimi films).
TWist cast and director:
Spider-Man: A New Beginning: Electro and the black suit
Spider-Man: Enter Venom: Venom and protecting MJ and their relationship again.
Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage: Carange and Venom as a team up (both die) in a final slug match for the century and an ultimate dark edition but hey it is the last anyways.

You're not following instructions. We know not of this "Maximum Carnage" or "lizard" you refer to.

Vulture. He will take over Oscorp when Harry dies. He might be to Goblinish though
My first choice would be a Kraven/Lizard combo but the Lizard is a monster and i don't think Kraven could hunt an actual person in real life only in the comics

Hi
Yeah possibly the Scorpion....or maybe a Scorpion/Shocker double team, they did that a few times in the toon. I think that would be cool.
