Homecoming The Amazing Spider-Man 3 General Discussion

[LEVITIKUZ]

Better. Don't know if it was Avi or Sony but I know someone suggested female henchmen for the Green Goblin with gliders and Raimi said no to the idea.

 

[SpideyK]

The hell? I, uh... Wtf.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

The hell? I, uh... Wtf.

Yep. There's even concept art of it.

@LEV:

I don't have a link so you will have to take my word for it, unless someone else has a link.

I think it was shortly after TASM, someone got to sit and talk with Avi Arad at a café and asked about Mysterio (it was his/her favourite villain), and Avi basically replied that he likes the villain but doesn't think he would work in a film.

We also have the article written by Dan Slott about his visit on the stage of TASM2, where Webb asked Dan who he thinks should be the villain in TASM3, to which Dan said Mysterio should be the obvious choice, or something along that. Then Webb looked at Avi Arad and/or Matt Tolmach and went "See guys!" (I don't remember if Webb actually said it or if that's how Dan interpreted Webb's facial expression), as if Webb tried to convince them (we also already know that Mysterio is a favourite of Webb's).

For once I agree with Slott. Mysterio would be an awesome film villain. I mean he's a villain involved in movies. You could do so many homages to classic movies with the illusions he creates. You could have a nod to Orson Wells have had something in his voice as like the city is panicking. You could have the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man invading NYC. You could have Spidey and him face off in a room like Freddy in the Nightmare On Elm Street films. You could have Spidey face off against many great villains in movie history. You could have Spidey living his greatest nightmare.

HOW THE **** CAN THIS ****ING **** NOT WORK IN A ****ING FILM AVI YOU ****ING PIECE OF ****ING ****!!! **** YOU!!!!

 

[SpideyK]

Yep. There's even concept art of it.

 

[Oscorp]

Avi might have changed his mind since then though, who knows. It seems he didn't want Vulture as a villain in Raimi's film series, but they included the Vulture wings in TASM 2, teasing him for a future film.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Raimi was gonna have 2 Vultures. They didn't want Black Cat. He took Vulture out of 3 mainly for Venom.

 

[GuestStar2004]

The vulture as a solo villain I am assuming was the issue for avi

 

[LizardMan07]

Ah, Avi and his creative nous.

 

[Donut]

If Sony wants fans on board for the next one. Then firing Avi & that Matt guy would go a long way

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

No, Vulture was Raimi's idea. Raimi wanted Vulture in 3, but Avi wanted Venom so they took Vulture out and added Venom. For 4, they want Vulture and Black Cat but Avi or Sony didn't want Black Cat since she reminded them of Catwoman so Raimi came up with a new villain called the Vulturess who basically is a female Vulture. He felt the ideas weren't good enough so he walked away.

 

[HanShotFirst]

Raimi this, Raimi that... FFS it's always the same with you guys on every Spider-man related forum.

Here's what (I think) we haven't seen before in previous movies: manly Peter that never cries/badass Spider-man doing some badass **** and looking cool. That's one of the many reasons I want Kraven for TASM3 so his manliness could rub off on Peter.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Spider-Man isn't really meant to be manly. I mean I'm not saying he's a wimp but he's not like on Batman or Cap or Wolverine or Superman's level of manly.

 

[Venom Spectre]

Ah Avi. One of Spidey's biggest villains.

 

[HanShotFirst]

Spider-Man isn't really meant to be manly. I mean I'm not saying he's a wimp but he's not like on Batman or Cap or Wolverine or Superman's level of manly.

Yeah... not the best examples bub.

 

[Airnick]

I kinda agree with Levi.

 

[spiderral]

Spider-Man isn't really meant to be manly. I mean I'm not saying he's a wimp but he's not like on Batman or Cap or Wolverine or Superman's level of manly.

He seemed manly enough to me in TAS; not as manly as Wolverine who he quickly battled in the X-Men crossover episode. I know he's only young but there's no need to dumb Spidey down to that sort of level, he has the potential to be appreciated much more in that sense.

 

[CaptainWagner]

And apparently, Avi Arad isn't very interested in having Mysterio in a film.

I read about it somewhere sometime, don't ask for a source because I got none at hand.

I'm starting to think that if they really want this franchise to succeed, they need to send Avi on an all-expenses-paid vacation and make all the important decisions while he's gone.

 

[blake c]

That post about the female goblin henchmen made me grateful for what SM3 was now

When I mean manly/badass Spider-man I mean something like this

Spoiler

That is one Spider you don't want to mess with.

 

[The Villain]

I personally am hoping for Mysterio. Give us a psychological villain this time around.


What's great about Mysterio, is that he could create an illusion of Green Goblin when he's fighting Spider-Man. What more better than to mess with his head after what happened in the last movie.

To me that makes the most sense. I want to see Peter basically losing his mind by the end of this film.

I like your thinking. Just remember we will learn how Gustaf Fiers entered Dr Connors cell room and vanished again.

Webb I hope will not put in scènes just to tease us then later on expect us to forget.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

How did Spidey get in a locked car and get out without opening the door?

Mysterio?

 

[blake c]

I thought he slipped out the window

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I'm just saying I had no problem with how he got in the cell for someone who didn't like TASM1.

I mean how did that Gentlemen Guy get into freakin Oscorp is more of a mystery.

 

[SpideyK]

How does Superman fly?

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

He's an alien rumor has it.
