This. The studio HATED the Vulture for Spider-Man 3 and even 4 because the villain was "too old". Using the Vulturess makes sense in a way that Raimi wanted to use the villain and still please the studio as that's what he did with Spider-Man 3, right? He was trying to please the studio. But, too many script treatments made him leave. I still say the Vulturess would've been in the film.
That's really opinion. He really does resemble the Lizard from Amazing Spider-Man #6
I like that the movie went with the more classic appearance by removing his snout. I love how People wanted to complain about that . But turning Felicia Hardy who is the Black Cat into a character named the Vultress is acceptable. I am glad that Rami saw this and decided to walk away .
Find one person who thought the Vultress was acceptable....
But I have met some people who were open to the idea and have had discussions/debates on it . Some where open to the idea, a Majority weren't .Some believed Raimi was going to use Vulturess, some didn't believe such...but I haven't meant anyone that liked the idea. Don't know where you got that Rogue.
