[Eddie Brock]

I'd like to propose an unlikely but theoretically possible scenario for this Green Goblin rumor:

What if all the Lizard stuff was a misdirection? Some directors - most recently that I remember, Michael Bay - have talked about how they need to keep the internet guessing by misinformation campaigns and such.

Again, I don't believe it, but might be worth batting around - at least until Comic Con when, you would think, Sony will make an official announcement.

 

[Alex The Great]

Yeah, that's possible. I mean, these days movie companies really need to keep us guessing. It wouldn't surprise me if some Viral Marketing thing pops up.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Of course, I guess you could argue both ways. What if the Goblin rumor is a last ditch attempt to get us doubting because we caught on too fast? If so, I'd say it's kinda working.

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

Yeah, that's possible. I mean, these days movie companies really need to keep us guessing. It wouldn't surprise me if some Viral Marketing thing pops up.

Well, they do have more than a year before the movie releases.
I wouldn't be surprised if DailyBugle.com started popping up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Some Daily Bugle site talking about the current situation in New York, maybe even articles talking about the appearance of Spider-Man, but no pictures. Just rumors and stuff.

But what really gets me about the article is it says The Spiderman Rebbot is a New Sequel to Spiderman 3 and yet they talk about NORMAN who died in the 1st film

Nothing is adding up in that article

I'm just gonna ignore it. A lot of false info is in that article.

It wouldn't surprise me either...but I highly doubt this is the case.

I beginning to worry even more than before....

 

[ALP]

Oh lawd, no more Goblins at least until the sequel

 

[Spideyfan93]

The speculation on plot details is getting ridiculously out of control!

 

[Eddie Brock]

As for the reboot/sequel conflict, I'd say it's just a mistake of wording. It's the same thing that happened to The Incredible Hulk. Everyone involved was particularly gunshy to call it a full-fledged reboot, but it's pretty clear it was a separate entity.

Wow that is absolutely amazing! That might explain why they haven’t officially confirmed the villain. Rhys Ifans is the villain, but which villain may be the surprise. Has any thing like this been done before?

I don't know if it's ever been done, but I know Michael Bay threatened to do it with Revenge of the Fallen. I didn't follow RotF news, so I couldn't tell you if he followed through on his threat.

Well.. If this is true, it would actually tie two things together:
The claim that this Reboot is based on the Ultimates and the fact that Norman actually battled Parker in his high school in the Ultimate comics...

But it sounds like a huge stretch to me TBH...

Agreed. Also, didn't the announcement of Rhys' casting say that his character needed warmth or compassion or something along those lines? Doesn't sound like Green Goblin to me.

You still haven't figured out why that is

 

[Hugebear]

Well it’s interesting and they aren’t making it (figuring out this movie) so easy after all.

 

[Ultimate Doom]

That would be a dick move if they were teasing us with all this awesome Lizard info and it turned out to be another villain

 

[Michael Frost]

Well, I certainly would be quite happy if they suddently pulled out Electro instead of Lizzie.

I must say I have always wanted to see electro

 

[Eddie Brock]

I know why it is. I simply don't agree with the logic behind it. If The Amazing Spider-Man doesn't bomb (or even if it does), we can assume they're going to throw another trilogy at us. And if I'm getting a trilogy, I expect some consistency. And the only way to achieve consistency is through continuity, and every continuity has a starting point. All I ask is that they give me a starting point. Did Peter fight Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Sandman, and Venom already, or did he not? Should I expect MJ and the Osborns? The whole "loose continuation" thing works for the comics (and the Bond franchise) because they're essentially standalone. But the prevailing thought with a trilogy is that you're going to have an overarching story involved, in some way, shape, or form.

 

[chaseter]

Here is what I say...go with it. Because whatever they do, good or bad, will be thrown away when they reboot this again in 9 years. Less if this movies sucks and bombs.

 

[Hugebear]

Thats why its important to have official confirmation first before people get too certain. We still have several great villains.
I think they shouldn’t start out with the best villains that we have left. In this movie, Spider-Man should be the main focus with a villain. And I think that is what they are doing with this origin movie. This movie is setting up the foundation for the new villains for the trilogy. I consider the first three movies as the Goblin trilogy. It’s seems like they have a plan for the new trilogy.
