Sequels Sinister Six for Spidey 6, Who Wants It?

[Venom 1988]

I know everyone wants it as close to the comics as possible, but Doc Ock is dead.
So would you rather them cut out the Sinister Six idea all together just because Doc Ock can't possibly be the leader? Because then that means the idea that six of Spider-man's foes wont team up as one team to attack Spider-Man at once.

Of course, the Sinister Six is Doc Ock's baby

I know that Doc Ock is meant to be dead, and I have to admit I have never read the classic Sinister Six stories (with Doc Ock as a leader) so I have no strong feelings about it,
but I have some ideas how they could do it:

Why not just bring Otto back? Have him appear in Spider-Man 6, shockingly he is alive and back to bad.

Another idea, What if Kraven or some villain has Otto's secret journals of ideas and in the journal its a detailed plan on how to kill Spider-Man. Part of the plan is the Sinister Six.


But again, I don't have strong feelings about having Dock Ock as the leader. I like the idea of six villains teaming up to stop Peter at once that I don't care who the leader is really.
The idea is just too fun and I would hate to just cut it out, ignore it, or deprive others. Of coarse I would have liked it to stick to the comic as much as possible.
But since it wont be, I'm fine with them using a different character. As long as it makes sense.
The cartoon used a different villain as the leader, the Ultimate comics used a different leader, Otto wasn't the Six's only leader in the comics (I think). Otto was the leader in the Spectacular cartoon and that was awesome.
Its just a variation and might bring non comic fans to the comics to find out more about the Sinister Six.

For example, I would be fine with setting up Kraven as a master stratagist who knows his only way to stop Spider-man is to hire help since he is no match physically.
I'd be fine with Otto returning, he never died. But he is mad that Spider-Man left him for dead.
I would even be fine with Norman Osborne returning, never really died just in hiding, and putting the team together.

I think, personally, the Sinister Six is an idea that is just too good to pass up. And using them for the Sixth film as the big finally send off (since Tobey and everyone will be leaving after that) would be a great way to end it.
peter has a hard time just stopping one villain at a time, how in the world can he possibly stop six at once?

So, for me, I would rather them have a different leader, than not use the Sinister Six idea at all.

The cartoon used a different villain as the leader,

The 90s toon? Kingpin brought them together but Ock was still the leader of the team.

Otto wasn't the Six's only leader in the comics.

Except for the time where Sandman reformed the team to get back at him, Doc Ock was indeed always the leader.

For example, I would be fine with setting up Kraven as a master stratagist who knows his only way to stop Spider-man is to hire help since he is no match physically.

Except he is a match physically, hence the superhuman strength and agility...

No Sinister 6. Takes away from the threat that the villains are to Spider-Man. own:

Hated the team-up between Sandy and Venom in SM3. Injustice to Venom. And 60 ft. Sandman.. Sheesh.. Kiddie Fare Garbage.

Thats true, forgot about that. Still wouldn't mind if he wasn't the leader in the movie.

Like I said, I am not familiar with the comic Sinister Six. But I still love the idea of all his enemies teaming up to fight him all at once in one film. And doing it for the sixth film would just be good marketing.

Except he is a match physically, hence the superhuman strength and agility...

I was under the (wrong) impression that he was like Batman, no powers but extreme amounts of training. So he would have naturally been the master planner, but he has powers. So that messes up that idea.
But I still have no problem with him or another bad guy leading the Six. But I also have no problem with Otto coming back having never really died.
I just want the Sinister Six in the movies.

Hey Slag! Great to see you're still alive and kicking, mate

I hated the Venom/Sandman team up, too, but because it just made no sense. Venom and Sandman randomly bump into eachother, and Venom is all "Hey lets team up", when he has not even faced Spidey one on one yet. It's like he was afraid to or something.

Not to mention Venom is not a team player. He would never team up with another villain in order to kill Spidey. Killing Spider-Man is a privelege Venom would never share.

Spot on with your assessment. There are villainous teams to be made in the SM films, but Sandman and Venom???? Thank you, Avi for insisting Venom be used (read: wasted) in SM3.
