Revealing Interview With Doc Conners (Dylan Baker)

[Visionary]

As long as THE LIZARD is in SM4, my interest is on high. Kraven or/and Electro are added bonuses to me.

 

[Cmill216]

I wonder how high on Raimi or Sony's villain totem pole Kraven is.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Regular human? Do you know anything about Kraven the hunter? Sure, he lacks the orgasmic visuals of other villains but dont sleep on the guy. By no means is he just a regular human. With the potions, serums and other crap he takes, he's bringing arms to spidey's front door like no other and I'd think that he'll actually be one of the better villains in these movies. Imagine if spidey filed to subdue the lizard and then kraven "kills" spidey and buries him and then spidey digs himself out of his grave to stop the lizard and want revenge on kraven for burying him but kraven kills himself ala kraven's last hunt, that would just be too f'n sweet.

I know ALOT about Kraven the hunter. I meant that Kraven doesn't have super powers without the potions, the potions make him stronger, faster and much greater reflexes but that doesn't mean he would make for a great visual experience. we need villians that put spidey through hell during battle, It just wouldn't be breath taking seeing Kraven fight spidey in a spidey movie.

 

[Visionary]

Kraven fighting Spider-Man would be a dog fight, it would interest the hell out of me. Remember, not every scene has to be breathtaking or filled with CGI to please the crowd. Subtle scenes have impact too, especially with someone who is cunning, persistant and lives for the hunt, capture or kill of his prey. And if written right, even Kraven could have big breathtaking scenes with Spider-Man, he has superhuman strength and agility--and loves a freakin' challenge.

It would be interesting but it wouldn't make spidey almost near death because of Kraven. The lizard on the other hand is a very dangerous villian, now I'm not saying Kraven isn't a sangerous villian......i'm just saying that the lizard has more of an enertaining fights with spidey but that only for the spidey movies. Kravens fights with spidey are fantastic in the comics though.

 

[Visionary]

And Kraven's fights on screen would be fantastic too. This is why there should be a combination of The Lizard/Kraven, it's a perfect mix with Spider-Man. I would like to see Kraven first hunt The Lizard and then decides to hunt Spider-Man instead, maybe claiming to capture or kill them both. That's some major conflict. Mix in some of the cool ass visuals of "KRAVEN'S LAST HUNT" comic book and you've got yourself a recipe for greatness.

THE HERO, THE HUNTER, and THE BEAST!

It would be a very different Spider-Man movie, to say the least.

well if they actually do put Kraven in spidey4 i don't think he should have a big role, more like just a few scenes and maybe a few fights here and there but thats it. i just don't feel he is an amazing enough villian to be a villian in a spidey movie. I'm not saying Kraven is a bad villian though.

 

[Visionary]

Well, of course he need not be the MAIN VILLAIN, there's no need for it. That would be THE LIZARD.

Sorry but it just doesn't seem logical in this day and age that the police and people of New York would just let a man run around trying to kill Spider-Man. Kraven is a B rate villian in the world of Spider-Man. He is not a major player and hardly deserves a few scenes, he cannot hold his own movie nor be a major bad guy with the likes of Doc Ock and Sandman. They are obviously going to have to retool Kraven to modernize him and make him more realistic...not a Tarzan running throuh NYC in leopard print pajamas. Kraven would not have an origin in any movie and should therefore be a minor character. It would be fine and dandy if they just mentioned him like they did John Jameson in SM2, something small but recognizeable to fans. My guess for the next movie remains Lizard and Electro/Scorpion/or Mysterio. It would be nice to see Peter have no where to turn to concerning his mentor Connors now being the Lizard and his boss creating Scorpion to get back at him. Also, Electro and/or Mysterio would make for some great visual effects.

 

[TheVileOne]

That's a pretty interesting angle to me, though I doubt Mrs. Stacy will have a big role.

Strong marriages and relationships seem to be a recurring theme in the films. Basically couples that have been together for years and are still in love because they "work at it." We got that with Aunt May and Uncle Ben in the first movie. Otto and Rosie in the second, and now the Stacy's in this film. We see the other side of the coin with the implication of MJ's parent (which we only see a little of but we get the point).

So I wonder where it will fall with Sandman and his wife in this film. Something in the middle maybe?

 

[Mr. Socko]

Wasn't as revealing as I was hoping.

 

[The Joker]

So I wonder where it will fall with Sandman and his wife in this film. Something in the middle maybe?

I think Marko and his wife will be very close. From what Raimi said, Sandman is pulling off these robberies for his family. He just wants what's best for them.

I sense a very close family unit with them in SM-3.

exactly, marko isn't out to do crmies just because he feels like it. he's doing it only because of his family which preety much makes sandman a sympathetic villian.

 

[Venom 1988]

Kraven is a B rate villian in the world of Spider-Man. He is not a major player and hardly deserves a few scenes, he cannot hold his own movie nor be a major bad guy with the likes of Doc Ock and Sandman.

Eh am I reading this right? Sure Sandman is cool, but hes not a major bad guy. Hes a B-villain at best just like Kraven.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah but I imagine there could still be some tension there if his wife finds out where the money is coming from.

Will Connors's family be in this one as well? Or will that be saved for another movie. I think Connor being a family man is a big part of both his character as well as the Lizard's, so I hope Raimi will get to take a crack at it.

People calling Kraven a B-villain don't know anything about Spider-man comics. You are obviously confusing him with his bastard son.

 

[Pagrebo]

Spidey doesn't destroy any of his villains. He's not the Punisher.

OK, OK, perhaps a poor choice of words. How about "defeat him without doing him any permanent harm"???

(and don't be thinking I'm gonna pay you to be my editor, Ock!)

 

[Pagrebo]

I just don't see Kraven delivering a beautiful amount of scenes. The Goblin was riding on his smoking glider throwing pumpkin bombs, Doc Ock's tentacles were going every which way, Kraven is pretty much one dimensional in terms of screen pressence. Electro or Mysterio would be beautiful on screen. But I totally agree with you on him fighting the Lizard and still protecting him from Kraven. That is why I think Kraven could be a minor character, much like that of May's role...limited but good. Shocker could be done in one scene at the beginning of the fourth movie. I just don't think Kraven is visiually stunning enough nor complex enough to hold his own movie and be a major villian. The city hires a big game hunter to rid the city of the now rampant sightings of a huge crocodile in the sewers that has been attacking workers, that man is Kraven.

Actually, I could see it working either way, re: Kraven. He could play a minor role... or... Raimi could get creative with the character. Remember, not many felt Sandman could be the main villain because of his comic book origins. Lizard will carry the film, but Kraven adds another dimension.

That's what I'm talking 'bout!

 

[Spider-Bite]

A good way to make give Kraven good visuals, is to have him using spary on potions or something that make a bunch of animals attack you. He could boobytrap his estate or something, and suddenly spider-man is taking a whole freaking zoo.

 

[Venom 1988]

Yeah but I imagine there could still be some tension there if his wife finds out where the money is coming from.

Well I think throughout his criminal career, he was a b villain. During Kraven's Last Hunt, he became A-list in a sense and then killed himself.

Umm... what does LOGIC have to do with any of this? Which character in ANY of these movies is logical in this day and age. This is pure escapism... anything can go if they create a story that suspends the audience's disbelief.

[Spider-Bite]

It could look pretty cool. A good way to incorporate Kraven with the lizard is to have Kraven capture the lizard alive, so he can release him on his own estate and enjoy the hunt, and then spider-man has to save his friend from Kraven, while trying not to be eaten by his friend.

If spider-man had to go through a forest like property on his estate, it could be cool if suddenly a whole bunch of tigers are on the ground coming after him, so spidey takes to the trees to avoid getting eaten, but a whole bunch of mutated crazy bloodthristy chimpanzees are also coming at spidey from above. We'd basically see spider-man swinging through the trees without using his webs, trying to fight off these chimps, and constantly trying to avoid branches from hitting him in the face. Maybe all the while holding onto a vile to cure conners, and he's constantly having to let go of it and catch it before it falls. If choreogrpahed right it could be suspenseful and look pretty cool.


I still think lizard should have been in part 3 though. If it was up to me the villains would have been lizard, Ock, Harry, and the symbiote. I'd have had Venom and Sandman for part 4, but I'd have put Eddie in part 3. I wouldn't have any personal connection between peter and Sandman, but maybe a connection between Sandman and Spider-Man. You know have it turn out that spidey was originally the guy who sent Flint to prison, with some extrenuating circumstances to make Flint a sympathetic villain.

 

[Pagrebo]

a whole bunch of mutated crazy bloodthristy chimpanzees

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
*ahem* I'm sorry, that's all I have.t:
