The Amazing Spider-Man What villain or villains would you like to see them kick start the reboot with?

[sdc10]

I think we should see some unused villains. Everyone knows Osborne is the Green Goblin but that doesnt mean that just because he is in the movie that the Goblin must also be there. Spend some time building up his character and relationship to Peter. Look at what Batman Begins did for Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul, neither of which are A-List Batman villains but they did a great job of being bad guys in that film.

 

[I'm Batman.]

I prefer the Eddie Brock that is not part of the High School gang myself. But I do hope we get a proper telling of the symbiote/black spider-man/Venom.. down the line.

I never said Brock should be in high school. In the Cast The Spider-Man Reboot thread, I approved of the idea of Brock being played by Jensen Ackles (My Bloody Valentine), who turns 32 in a couple of months and will be 34 when the reboot hits theatres. I think an 18 year old Peter Parker in his senior year in high school and a 34 year old Eddie Brock being rivals at the Daily Bugle seems closer to the comics than the age difference between the two in Spider-Man 3.

A proper telling of the symbiote/black spider-man/Venom would require the Beyonder showing up, buying all Marvel licenses, taking them to another planet, and so on -- you know the story

 

[XSpidercideX]

1) Electro
2) Chameleon

Electro could be the main bad guy kinda like Rhas Al Ghul was and Chameleon could be the side villain like Scarecrow.

Also, having Chameleon sets things up for his bro, Kraven to come in later. I really want to see a Kraven' Last Hunt in like the 4th movie.

 

[XSpidercideX]

In fact:

1) Electro, Chameleon(side villain)
-Electro is the main villain, Chameleon is introduced as a side villain kinda like a Scarecrow for BB. Chameleon's brother is Kraven so it sets up a tie in for the 4th film.
-Norman is introduced
- Peter dates Gwen

2) Green Goblin
- kills Gwen on the bridge
- Peter graduates high school and goes to college

3) Scorpion, Vulture
- film first introduces Vulture as he creates his suit, mid film Jonah creates Scorpion to destroy Spider-man
- features villain teamup
- Peter starts dating MJ

4) Kraven, Lizard, Chameleon
- Kraven comes to America after Conners turns into Lizard to take him down,
- Chameleon gives him a new target: Spider-man

5) Venom, Carnage
- 'nuff said

6) Mysterio, Rhino
- Main villain is Mysterio who plays mind games, film could feature a lot of mystery and uncertanty
- Rhino is featured in a street encounter
- MJ and Peter tie the knot

7) Doc Ock leading the Sinister Six
'nuff said part 2

 

[Gotham22]

part 1 - Hammerhead, Vulture, Mysterio, Shocker, and Tombstone
Future villains - Eddie Brock Dr. Conners, Noman Osborn, Harry Osborn

Part 2 - Tombstone, Spider-Slayer, Spencer and Alistair Smythe , Beetle, and Black Cat
Future villains - Eddie Brock Dr. Conners, Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn

Future villains - Eddie Brock, Harry Osborn, Otto Octavious

Part 4 - Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Silvermane, Alistair Smythe, Venom, Dr. Octopus
Future villains - Harry Osborn, John Jameson

Part 5 - Venom, Carnage, Harry Osborn/Green Goblin, Man-Wolf
Futrue villain - Michael Morbius

Part 6 - Scorpion, The Lizard, Man-Spider, Morbius, Kraven




Lots of villains but the trick is less screen time but great story for them which impacts on the main story.

If Sony says no to The Lizard and Universal won't cooperate to use the Hulk-- the only option for super villain is Octavius.

A much more realistic Doc Ock who is not a good guy.
I imagine Octavius as a mutant with a tactile magnetic ability-- explaining how he can control the arms. He should have eight arms with smooth joints, wear body armor (because weight is not an issue), and be this force, this tank that cannot be stopped.

I think the arms should look like the following:

 

[Nathan]

Hell no to this idea.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah. Why take something so simple as Doc Ock and make it into...well....THAT.

 

[The Slang]

For starters I want more fights with regular criminals. Including regular criminals with alias. Examples: Kingpin, Silvermaine, hammerhead, Owl, Sin Eater (could make a good story btw), Tinkerer, Tombstone, Bloodrose, Alistor Smythe and Spencer Smythe, the undertaker...

I wanna see Spidey take on an unused villain. Goblin and Ock were both major villains that had a connection to Peter at some point in Spidey's history. They really were bad decisions for his very first supervillain encounters. He should have had a little more experience before facing them.
Villains can affect parker's life without knowing him or kidnapping his loved ones. Example: Spider-man fails to apprehend said villain in the first couple encounters. Parker suffers a loss of ego and becomes distracted from his studies and unable to concentrate on his girlfriend. He realizes that he cannot live as Peter Parker with the guilt of not upholding his responsibilities as Spider-man. Now this once-stranger (the villain) becomes a symbol for all the obstacles we must overcome to be the best of ouselves. Two warriors dueling at sundown for their honour can be 'emotionally gripping' enough without a girlfriend getting kidnapped in the mix.

When it comes to which villains, my first thought is that there are action villains and story villains. I think of Mysterio as a story villain. The whole 'frame spidey and turn the public against him' is a great story. But personally I want to see spidey GET a reputation before someone tries to ruin it. Scorpion too is an excellent story villain. The Lizard again, story villain. Morbius, Kraven, anything symbiote related. All these villains require a large amount of story telling with their introduction and motives.

Action villains on the other hand are ones that can be introduced with minimum explanation and could simply disappear after being defeated (maybe in a single scene). Some decent action villains they could take advantage of are:
Shocker,
Rhino,
Chameleon
Vulture,
Electro,
Beetle, (Could be very good)
Chance,
Shriek (One of the better female villains)
Solo,
Speed Demon,
Boomerang (Could actually work with some retooling)
Cardiac

There's plenty to use if the creators are imaginative enough.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I wouldn't mind seeing, Chameleon, for the first one

 

[spider-neil]

opening credits - rhino

main villian - mysterio

set up villian - lizard

 

[mothy]

an un-used villain. again, to differentiate from the other series.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I think you'd need to set up relationships that he could exploit before doing him, so he's more of a sequel villain.

that's not true, the cameleon shows up in ASM number 1

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Well, to use him to better effect is what I meant.

 

[Nathan]

He could be another character that is there from the beginning and appears at key moments, never interacting with Spider-Man though. Similar to Spectacular Spider-Man, people might get annoyed of how often that cartoon gets referenced now, but it did just so many things right. Like developing a ton of characters.

the way how SSM wove him into the GG plotline was utterly utterly brilliant

 

[Jennifer Walters]

****, I've never really stopped to watch Spec Spidey. Is really that fantastic? The art just always turned me off.

trust me when I say its the best redition of spidey put on screen. watch it you'll see what I'm talking about

for me its

JL/JLU
SSM
BTAS

yes, its THAT good

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I saw a clip from it that someone posted in the reboot announcement thread, GG and Spidey fighting and it definitely seemed like it pegged those characters well.

 

[Leenie]

An unused villain would be my preference.

If we get an origin story AND a villain we've seen before, then it's going to feel redundant.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

I guess we won't be getting an origin story again
And I hope they're not gonna re-use a villain already shown on big screen..
My choice would be Electro and Lizard or Electro and Tombstone, setting up Lizard as a future villain.

 

[smpinoy]

1st movie.... mob boss

hammerhead and/or tombstone....electro as their enforcer

 

[Jostru]

I noticed that a few of you guys said Mysterio should be the villain... I like the character a lot, but here's the thing:

Wouldn't it be better to use him AFTER Peter/Spider-man already faced a few supervillains, so Mysterio could use them in his illusions and stuff? If you use him in the first movie that's not possible. So I'd really like them to wait with Mysterio until after the first 3 movies or so...

I'd like to see Electro and Tombstone in the first movie. Tombstone would be pulling all the strings and he makes a deal with Electro to take care of Spidey. Maybe throw Rhino or Shocker in their as someone who Tombstone hired, but failed.
