I think I can do without Brock/Venom, as well as Gwen.
 
I think I can do without Brock/Venom, as well as Gwen.

I think they're two characters who must be about as long as they're done justice too with the Goblin Legacy and Brock being tougher than Topher Grace and the symbiote speaking as both Brock and Venom and being huge in comparison to teenage Peter. Both characters weren't done well in Raimi's films.

I don't think there's anyone I'd like to not see....I want more rather than less. Cameos of villains in minor crime scenes such Shocker, Rhino and Mysterio for a short few scenes using effects but ultimately being punched in the fishbowl and caught within a minute. Those kind of things. It'd give the world of the films a feel of superheroism and fantasy with villains as opposed to one/two bad guys in the movie with any kind of powers thoughout. No harm in other crimes between the large events. :)
 
For the first two films, I don't want to see Green Goblin (only Norman Osborn), Doctor Octopus (only Otto Octavius), Venom or Sandman.

For the first three films, I don't want to see Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin, Sandman, or Venom (only Eddie Brock). Introduce the symbiote in the third film and set up a cliffhanger for Venom in the fourth film.
 
I don't want to see Eddie Brock/Venom again. And I agree that Norman Osborn and Otto Octavious should appear, without Green Goblin and Doc Ock.
 
No more symbiotes, please.
 
I really don't see any need for Carradine to make another appearence. I think Sam originally did a good job the first time around. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the other previous villains again.
 
GG, Doc Ock, and Sandman should not appear in the first film. And Venom should not even be in the first trilogy. However I don't mind seeing Eddie Brock slowly make his appearances to be introduced as a supporting character of such.. He should be well established once Venom does show.
 
Alright, well in that case there is not a single character I would say I would NEVER EVER want to see again in this rebooted francise simply because I think they all can be written and -portrayed much better a second time around. And I am talking only of those from the comics and not Raimi's made up misfits.
 
I kinda want Betty gone. Not because I have anything against her, her depiction or anything like that but because I'd like to see Glory instead.
 
I would love to see Glory but if say a character like Ned Leeds was involved then I would think Betty's role may somewhat be expanded.
 
If they went that route (which I doubt) they could always make Betty a reporter-which wouldn't spit on comic continuity.
 
I don't recall seeing Rocket Racer in Raimi's films unless you are refering to Harry.
 
Uncle Ben, :awesome:

You killed him in the first movie and he continues to show up. It's like he is haunting Peter.

Call an exorcist. No wonder the kid became spider-man, his uncle probably nagged him from beyond the grave until he gave in :woot:

In all seriousness, introduce a character only if the story requires it. Does Norman Osborn need to be introduced at the beginning of the mythos? Probably not. He owns his own company, and has a distant relationship with his son. The fact that there would be very little if any Norman Osborn in the first movie would make sense and show how he is more concerned with other matters other than his son's high school problems.

I would love the first spider-man villain to be Smythe. Spider-Man has created a real problem for New York's Underground, run by Hammerhead. They manipulate Smythe, who is an Osborn Robotics Engineer, to assist them in creating high-tech gear to fight off spider-man. He creates the Spider-Slayer as well as some other weapons for their use. by the third act, Hammerhead's right hand man Herman Schultz, as Hammerhead himself would not get his hands dirty, bares witness as the spider-slayer is destroyed. He takes on Spider-Man one on one using some of Smythes tech weapons (the shocker gauntlets). Only to be defeated and implicated as the head of illegal weapons being sold. Smythe goes missing, assumed killed by Hammerhead's men.

Hammerhead is under investigation due to his association with Schultz but with no direct charges, but more importantly, SHIELD is now threatening Osborn (making his first appearance by the end of the movie) as his company was tied to the engineering of the weapons which are now on the street.

just me daydreaming lol. Kind of went off on a rant there.
 
Hoffman and Aziz were made up for Raimi's movies so their return is unlikely. Rocket Racer never appeared to begin with.
Reikowolf-you went a bit off topic there.
