The Amazing Spider-Man Vampires in Spider-Man 4

[Adrian89]

I thought let the right one in was a touching movie whereas I wanted to leave the cinema half way though twilight. rotton tomato backs me up with my opinion of let the right one in.

Let The Right One In is more like a drama movie with a dark tent. However, I wasn't impressed by it at all, nor did I felt touched by any scenes. And Rotten Tomatoes, lol! I don't care about critics and ratings.

It's just that I don't see that movie as a proper vampire movie, that's all. Matter of taste.

I didn't see it as a 'proper' vampire movie either I just enjoyed it on its own merits. I took nothing from twilight, utter rubbish.

Vampires are a waste in my opinion. I mean, no offense to Morbious as a character, I'd rather have the Lizard or Rhino. Is a vampire a step over the villains we've seen so far? Not in my mind!

Totally Agree!

 

[American_Hobo]

I said this many times before,but Morbius has 0 chance of being in Spiderman 4.
So I'm not worried at all about Morbius being in Spiderman 4.
And yes, not to mention that Morbius will be complete waste of time.

 

[Robin91939]

If Morbius is named the villain, my interest in this film would got from a 9 out of 10 to a 4 out of 10.

No vampires please, leave that to Blade.

Lizard, Kraven, Electro, Scorpion or Venom for my Spider-man 4 please.

Im talking about all these other vampires in movies/shows
Twilight, True Blood, Underworld 3, Let the Right One In, I am LEgend, 30 Days of Night.

I mean that I dont want to see another vampire movie especially in a SPM movie where there are alot better character imo

Grr.

True Blood is a great show.

Just because it has a sense of humor and its vampires are developed characters does not make it bad. It is a great example of devillifying vampires for a bit of tongue-in-cheek horror-comedy-drama that features vampires that are still mean, threatening and dangerous, while fighting for human rights. It's a richly thick social satire mixed with sex, fangs and blood. Twilight, this ain't.

I just enjoyed Let the Right One In, I was a bit disappointed after all the hype and hugely praiseworthy reviews. It was just decent, but I enjoyed it.

I'd rather see Lizard and/or Kraven. But Raimi handling a straight old school monster seems more appealing to me than thuggish Rhino who doesn't offer many story possibilities.

Why don't you think he will be in S-M4? Sure, it wasn't confirmed, but Sam has expressed interest in using him.

 

[Robin91939]

I wouldn't mind seeing even the Spectacular Spider-man being used as inspiration.

Cause in all honesty, the show is amazing, and it pulls a lot of inspiration from the 1960's-70's stories and modernizes them.

Why not see a secret crime syndicate move into New York fronted by the mysterious "Big Man". This could allow for criminals like Shocker or Rhino to be included as henchmen for the "Big Man" who would later be revealed to be L. Thomson Lincoln/Tombstone. He's a villain that has been given new life by that show---let's run with it.

Vampires are not good Spider-man villains. Stan Lee only created Morbius to prove he could use vampires and piss off the comics code people. He's a pretty lame character for a Spider-man movie...I mean, c'mon- we can do better.

[jaymes_e06]

^I agree and think Morbius is more suited for a Blade movie. Anyone else think that might make just a little more sense?

 

[Robin91939]

Especially now that we have news that Blade will most likely be rebooted starring, reportedly, Michael Jai White.

Why not use Morbius, the living vampire, in a movie about....you know? A vampire hunter.

Only makes sense.

But hey- why not put him in a movie about a college kid with spider powers who lives in a quasi-New York with a heightened reality.....a Vampire would just through the whole tone and feel of these movies off.

Also- we have so many other better villains that we could use. I'd rather not wait four years for a Spider-man film and have it only be a film with Morbius..instead of, say---Lizard, Kraven, Thombstone, Electro, etc.

Morbius has always been a favourite of mine, and as already mentioned, Raimi can do horror and Vampires with his eyes closed. However, one concern I would have is that Morbius would be forced on Raimi by Sony due to the current vampire fad among kids (classicly captured by South Park) instigated by Twilight. I'm sure Raimi would dig Morbius, but not the Morbius sony would make him do.

That being said, I don't buy it. It's all too obvious no? Raimi himself said before that he prefers to leave it to Sony when it comes to the big villain reveal. Then again, Raimi and Tobey both expressed admiration for Sandman years before S-M3, and sure enough he was in S-M3. Who knows.

If it serves the story well then what's the problem? If Raimi thinks he has an awesome story that would be perfect for a character such as Morbius and/or The Lizard then trust him.

Raimi is very messed in the head if he digs Morbius more than Venom.

Morbius is a far more 3-dimensional character than Venom is!

Venom-Pissed because he became unemployed for being a fraud. The suit it angry because being a parasite didn't sit well with Peter, and it rejected him. He now has no other purpose in life other than the sestruction of Spider-Man. It was the same in the SM3 (yet, you hated it).

Morbius- Suffering from a rare blood disease tries to cure himself, only to mutate into a being that must feed off of living blood to sustain his own dying blood supply. He is constantly torn between the good man he was, and the monster he has become. He has gone from killing for neccesity to killing for justice. He's a very sympathetic character, which is keeping in theme with the Spidey villians of the movies (which, you hated).

I like Venom better than Morbius, but Venom is about as 2-dimensional a character as you can get....next to Carnage, who hs almost no depth to him at all.

I don't agree.

Morbius is far more interesting and 3 dimensional than Venom.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Ugh, this Morbius talk has to stop!

All Raimi said was that he liked Morbius as a character and everybody goes "ZOMFG, MORBIUS IS DA VILLAIN IN DA SPIDA-MAN 4 CONFIRMED BY RAMI!!!!111!!1". I think I'm going to interview Sam Raimi and ask him what he thinks about The Living Brain. If he really likes him, I bet 100% that he is going to be in Spider-Man 4.

Why waste time on Morbius? I don't even want to see Lizard but I know that he most likely will be in it. But with Morbius, he isin't any different than Lizard, only that he is a vampire and has a brain if Lizard is going to be a mindless beast which I prefer him to be. So what's Spider-Man 4 going to be like? Two monsters, both were scientists, one is a vampire terrorizing people in Central Park and the other one is a Lizard terrorizing people in the subways and sewers. Plus, with Morbius we will get another symphatetic villain. I bet he will go "must have blood, no, don't want to hurt people no I can't resist this hunger, no I cannot must fight the hunger ahhh, nah screw it I'll just bite that guy in the neck" and afterwards he asks for forgiveness. Nope, I'm not going to let that happend. He is such a boring character anyway. There are much much better and interesting villains than him anyway.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Oh god yes!!!

Sam Raimi's Spectacular Spider-Man... a horror superhero black comedy with The Lizard and Morbius. Special guest appearance by a certain blind lawyer....
Bruce Campbell as a Taxi Driver...

 

[shinlyle]

I suppose it would be too easy to ask you guys to just chill out, mention that it is all specualtion, and we'r ebuilding off of that specualtion until we're given something more concrete?

Jeez....it could feature Molten Man and Leap-Frog, for all we know at this point, but Raimi has actually mentioned LIzard and Morbius...so that's what we have to go off of....now, if there is a poster or news released in the next year that says otherwise, expect all this discussion to be dropped.

Also, maybe lay off the caffiene. Just a thought.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Raimi is a master of horror...
Drag Me To Hell is to him what The Abyss was to James Cameron before he made Terminator 2. Training ground. Lizard and Morbius are perfect for this, manifestations of our greatest fears.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I agree 100%. True all the way.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Actually I don't think Stan Lee did create Morbius and seeing as how Sam has a love of the older villains I think a vampire appearance is unlikely.

 

[Venom 1988]

Morbius appeared in 101, one issue after Stan left. I think its safe to say that Morbius is still considered a classic villain.

Aha. I'm still holding out for Lizard, Scorpion and even Mysterio over Morbius though.

I like Venom better than Morbius, but Venom is about as 2-dimensional a character as you can get....next to Carnage, who hs almost no depth to him at all.

Morbius doesn't seem very three dimensional to me...sure, he has a "rare blood disease", but you put the whole "living vampire" in his name, and he just sounds like an idiot...and was an idiot when being portrayed in the 90s cartoon. They didn't even mention he had a disease, but I guess in Spideyland, you never do(Penny Marko. Or Penny Baker, whichever.)


And I hated Raimi Venom, because his thirst for revenge and destruction was watered-down, with asking for Sandman's help, to him not trying hard enough(come on, really? He relied on a giant Sandman and with a pipe or whatever? Why didn't he ever try to choke him? Why not tie up his entire body and beat him to a pulp? No, making it easy for Spidey to escape is just perfect...please...)

And please, enough of the sympathetic villains. Or better yet, the PEOPLE can be sympathetic, but if Morbius or Lizard is in it, make their villain persona pure EVIL. Don't have Lizard start to talk and realize how wrong he is, or the same with Morbius. Make the true villain pure evil when he's not a human anymore.

I'm sure glad Obadiah Stane wasn't a *****.
