The Amazing Spider-Man Are there any characters you DON'T want to see again?

[Anwar]

If they DO ever do Venom again, please just make him human proportioned.

Otherwise, get him out of here.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Death to the symbiotes.

 

[Steyin]

I don't want to see MJ for a while.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Symbiotes.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Here I thought the anti-symbiote crowd would be in the minority.

^^ How come? After a distasteful Venom and symbiote arc that we received in Spider-Man 3, why would we want more of it? Plus, if this movie is taking straight from Ultimate Spider-Man, then that's another reason why we wouldn't want the symbiotes, because it's not alien, it cures cancer. Which is stupid. And their Carnage idea is just idiotic.

I do not want to see MJ, or for at least the first film. I want to see if Webb can be smart enough to have the main villain kidnap someone else.

I don't want to see any villains with "added" influence that will only mess up the film itself(Sandman's sick daughter).

And I want some sort of realism...granted, this is Spider-Man, but it makes no sense when someone can come out of a bomb explosion and only have one side of his face messed up. Last time I checked, Jonah Hex is DC.

Even though I want Green Goblin and Doc Ock again, we need a new villain for the first film.

And...

No Venom
no Sandman
no Goblin Rocket Racer
and no unnecessary cameos by stupid kids or blonde chicks that look like prostitutes.

Or any butlers with awful memory.

 

[Panthro]

Leave the various Goblin villains out of it for right now. And skip Doc Ock for the first film. Plenty of other good villains who haven't gotten any screen time yet.

I'd rather the main villain doesn't kidnap anybody at all. They could easily go with a villain who simply becomes so power crazed that he wants nothing more than to use this power to wreak havoc, and Spider-Man has to drop in to stop that instead. (Ala Incredible Hulk.)

But it has to be an A-lister. Someone I can take completely seriously. I personally wouldn't mind Doc Ock reappearing straight away, appearing as a sort of amalgamation of Spectacular Ock and Ultimate Ock. Make him an alienated scientist who won't stand for the world that put him down before staying in one piece. At first he uses this to obtain riches or scientific equipment, but when Spider-Man stops him from doing all of this, his only goal would be to attack what Spider-Man holds close to his heart: the people of the city.

But I've severely digressed.

Eh...

that sounds like...

Ultimate Green Goblin.

 

[Dragon]

A characterI don't want to see? Mary Jane. I've truly grown sick of the character over the last 30 plus years. That relationship never went anywhere and constantly relied on gimmicks to keep it interesting. Since they're rebooting, they have a good opportunity to have Peter engage in the relationship that he always should have. Gwen. Stan knew besr.

 

[Michael Frost]

No more dancing emo Parker or butlers, please.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I thoroughly disagree on MJ. And how do we keep veering toward who we do & don't want to see right away as opposed to at all?

 

[Dragon]

I meant at all regarding MJ. Keep her what she was initially a supproting character.

 

[WarrenPeace2012]

For me, No Goblins, No Ock, No Symbiotes (Brocks ok though). I think they should go the Batman Begins route. Batman 5 or Batman Triumphant was originally supposed to have Scarecrow in it, the project was scraped and he ended up being a villain in BB. The Vulture was inteded to be the villain in Spidey 4, that project got scraped so maybe they can go with him as a sub boss or villian in this new movie with someone else as the main (true) villain. Or take the Spectacular Spiderman route. That first episode was sweet.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

[DieSmiling]

For the record, those of you who don't want GG, Ock, Sandman, Venom, etc. in the first move, who are you expecting to be the villain?

I think it would be pretty lame if there wasn't a superpowered villain in the film, and while I guess they could go with Vulture, Electro, Shocker, Scorpion, whoever, it would seem odd for that villain to be the first.

 

[I'm Venom]

I like the idea of starting the franchise with villains like Shocker and working up. It could give the films an atmosphere and momentum the others didn't have. Shocker would be pretty cool.

They also need to set some up. You could easily have Eddie Brock appear. Villains also don't necessarily have to be killed off in the first movie they appear in.

 

[SpeterMan3]

True.

If they're too powerful or dangerous, then they usually DO have to be killed off. Scarecrow was sort of an aversion, but he was just a lackey of the true villain so it's not the same as letting Venom just run off to fight another day.

Maybe it's best if some villains don't get an on-screen origin and just appear as villains and have their origins discussed.

Doc Ock for example can just appear as a terrorist villain or criminal doctor cyborg and then have Peter look up his origin later.

No, they also can get imprisoned.

 

[Anwar]

That works only if those guys aren't too dangerous to leave alive (like if they know who Peter is), or if they aren't ever used again as the central villain (Magneto was left alive because he was never the central villain after the first movie, it wouldn't work for egotistical villains like Norman or Doc Ock or Venom) or just aren't that villainous in later appearances (which doesn't work for guys like the Goblin or Ock or Venom, they're all unsympathetic bastards).

 

[I'm Venom]

It works if the villain loses his powers somehow i.e. Brock getting separated from the symbiote.

 

[Anwar]

Then we're just left wondering why Brock doesn't just go and tell anyone Peter is Spider-Man while giving proof that Peter can't refute.

And no, his stupid "No one kills you but me!" crap wouldn't work in live-action. It was dumb in the comics and it'd be dumb here.

Either don't have the villains find out Peter is Spidey, or kill the ones that DO know.

Venom isn't good for more than one story anyways.

 

[Chris Wallace]

One of MANY reasons why I hate Venom.
