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

[LightningFlash]

Sam Neil as Dr. Connors is something I could get along with. It might bring in some references from his Jurassic Park days too, lol.

One thing I will miss is Dafoe though.

Dafoe did a really good job, hopefully when we see the goblin this time around we will get a more traditional looking suit, a better reason for the suit (why would the army make a helmet like that!?) and hopefully not have him portrayed as a guy with multiple personalities. Norman is the Goblin, the Goblin is Norman.

Norman is the Goblin, the Goblin is Norman.

Agreed, I had an arguement with someone about the Goblin suit where they were saying the traditional suit wouldn't translate well to film. When I stated that Spidey's did the point that the Goblin's suit was made for military use not to be theatrical came up...where that is a good point, the helmet throws ALL of that logic out of the window. Hopefully they go for a more traditional looking suit this time around. If you think it will look stupid, that's kind of the point of Gobby's costume. I don't care for the split personalities thing created by the 90's cartoon now that I have somewhat a better grasp on his character. Norman should be crazy, but it shouldn't be spelled out for the audience (especially since dressing up as a goblin and doing various crimes screams sanity right?).

 

[Dangerous]

The poll options here are crap.

I'd like to see Kraven as the main bad guy, that would be nice.

Perhaps Mysterio as a second tier bad guy.

 

[[A]]

^ so basically you vote option #3.

 

[ModestMr.Green]

Rhino for the opening credits. For the first quarter to half, Mysterio would be a good villain. Maybe Spider-Man won't have any reputation to ruin yet, but that doesn't mean he can't give Spidey a bad reputation from the start of his rise to fame. Meanwhile, Jameson's spider hate builds up, leading him to commission the creation of Scorpion, who takes up the second half hunting him down.

 

[LightningFlash]

Woah, woah, did we not learn anything from Spider-Man 3?

Three villains = too much.

 

[ModestMr.Green]

Well, someone or something minor for the opening credits. I suppose another random crime break-up montage like that from the first Raimi Spider-Man would work. Just a little fluff to show him in action.

 

[S_H_F_4839]

Three can work if properly executed, but they have to complement each other, not just be three random villain attacks then we get into spidey three territory, for example I could go for a lizard and kraven and mob angle, where the mob kidnap connors upon learning about his advancements in human regeneration and force him to move to faster than he should which results in the miscalculation that causes the creation of the lizard, and word reaches kraven the hunter of the spiderman and he comes originally with the intention of hunting spidey until he interrupts one of spidermans battles with the lizard which shows him there are more deserving prey to be hunted.

 

[GoldGoblin]

Opening is at the port where you see a shipment of drugs being delivered from a giant ship.Spidey shows up and fights off all the thugs pretty quickly while dishing out quips just as fast.

Then the next scene is of a view of a newspaper with a pair of hands reading it.Then the person holding the paper slams it on his desk and slams his fists on top of it repeatedly.Then the camera zooms out where we see a mob boss yelling at his men.

Yelling that this isn't the first time where spidey has shown up and screwed up everything.That spidey is costing him millions,that people don't want to do business with him anymore cause of him.

So the mob boss has a scientist perfom experimental procedures on his thugs,trying to create supervillains who go out in the city and distract spidey while the mob boss can continue to do business successfully.

We could get Electro this way,and maybe the expeimental machine is destroyed after creating Electro,so that when spidey defeats Electro the mob boss can't create another supervillain.

So the mob boss breaks into Oscorp and steals some tech to create another villain to go up against spidey.It could be Hobgoblin.

Then when spidey defeats this villain,the mob boss hires the Chameleon to frame spidey for crimes,so that spidey is wanted by the police.

Not necessarily... If you handle them correctly, then you can get a brilliant movie.

 

[Nathan]

It all comes down to a good director and script. Seriously, look at TDK. We had Scarecrow, Joker, Two Face and Mob bosses and the movie didn't feel like a jumbled mess.

Thats kind of a poor example seeing as the Joker was the only one of those characters that we saw throughout the entire movie.

 

[Jick]

The problem wasn't too many villains, was the unnecessary soap opera, dancing and cooking moments, which could've been spent developing the villains and the Black Spidey.

Three villains could've been done.

 

[Artistsean]

The problem was also the way they fit all the characters stories together, look at the first two Batman movies.
They introduced Ras, Bruce, Alfred, the lawyer girlfriend whose name escapes me, Scarecrow, Gordon, and the Mob Boss, all one the first movie.
They had Bruce, Alfred, the girlfriend, Gordon, Dent, and Joker, in the second.
Lots of characters, all worked together nicely.
Originally Raimi wanted Vulture instead of Venom (or so the rumor says) and they would have escaped together and Sandman would have been the unwilling muscle to the Vulture's brain, so the story would have worked better (somewhat).
So its possible to do that many characters and have it work, if the script and the character's stories fit together better than Spider-man 3 had them fit. In my opinion.

 

[TheScarecrow]

Thats kind of a poor example seeing as the Joker was the only one of those characters that we saw throughout the entire movie.

And in Spider-man 3, Sandman was the only one we saw throughout the entire movie.

Batman Begins also had Ra's Al Ghul, Decoy Ra's, Scarecrow and Falcone.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

i always it would be interesting to see norman make an actual transformation (via goblin sirum) when he became the goblin. i always wanted to see his skin become very vascular with a slight olive green tint, so he wouldnt have to actually wear a costume and it would give him a creepy/ill type appearance. his body would become muscular, but, it would sickly twisted and unproportional. his teeth could sharpen out, and his should make some sort of change.
and hugo weaving would be an exellent norman osborn!

 

[S_H_F_4839]

I agree that weaving would make a kickass norman osborn, was pulling for him back when the first spidey movie came out. I think if they played up the businessman side of osborn during the first movie and maybe let him become the goblin in the second one would be the way to go if they are going to use the goblin again. I also like the idea of a physical transformation as long as its not too drastic, example compare norman osborn in the ultimate spidey comics to his goblin persona that is a little too drastic imo.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

no nothing big or any thing, think of it like the vampire/lychan hybrid guy from underworld

 

[QWoods]

chris meloni for norman osborne

 

[david icke]

And in Spider-man 3, Sandman was the only one we saw throughout the entire movie.

Batman Begins also had Ra's Al Ghul, Decoy Ra's, Scarecrow and Falcone.

Batman Begins also had Victor Zsasz, in a similar camoe role as Scarecrow had in TDK.

and even if Two-Face did not show up until the end, Harvey Dent and TF's genesis was as much a part of the movie as the Joker. Same as Brock's turn into Venom, although of course, nowhere near as developed as Dent's dark side turn.

Multiple villans can be handled by a good script writer. They did alright in SM3, considering what they had to jam in without much notice, Venom bringing the baggage of the whole black suit symbiote saga. He will doubtless get his own movie in this new re-boot, I'm guessing with movie 2, once they are past the origin.

edit: I haven't seen how they handled it in SSM, but they could well go with the John Jameson/space shuttle crash of the 90s cartoon for the re-boot.

 

[Rodrigo90]

The beginning quickly sets up the issues that develops. Peter at School days after Uncle Bens funereal. Getting a girlfriend (Gwen),helping Aunt May and Harry. Peter becomes close to Dr Connors after he discovers that he is Spider-Man (finding Peter creating a Web-Cartdridge). Show him dealing with those and being Spider-Man.

Then BOOM! Dr Connors becomes the cold-blooded Lizard and goes on a cannabalistic rampage throughout the city. The City officials call in the brilliant (but seriously psychotic) Kraven The Hunter to deal with the situation,as they realise that a man of great experience is needed. After setting up a trap at the Central Park Zoo,Kraven and The Lizard do battle,but Spider-Man intervenes and Lizard escapes. Kraven vows to have both their head as trophies. The City then believe that Spider-Man is helping the monster and turn against him.

Kraven then begins too hunt them both and soon discovers who Spider-Man is,as he slowly loses his sanity.

Oscorp then obtain a sample of Kravens potion.

I wish people would frigging stop brining up TDK with regards to 3 villians

scarecrow - is on for literally MINUTES
2 face - doesn't show up till the 3rd act
joker

how the **** is that three villians?! at best its 1.5

 

[david icke]

By that criteria Venom only shows up for the last act too, but folk always go on about 3 villans in SM3.
I think the reason they are counted is that both Dent and Brock are present throughout the movie, and their actions directly lead to them becoming that villan, the movie deals with their origin.

Anyway, it's not Scarecrow who was the thrid villan in TDK, it was Maroni, he gets a fair amount of screen time dedicated to himself and his actions. He would be the equivalent to the Kingpin in a Spidey movie if he employed supervillans. edit: Proving it can be done very well, all of them being interconnected into the story and balancing each other out.

Scarecrow in TDK and Zsasz in BB are both cameos.

 

[Fanged-Hunter]

If a good writer could pull it off (that's a big if, because this would be damn near impossible in movie format), have 2 villains per film for the trilogy.

Have a fourth film with all the villains...Sinister Six.

But yeah...good luck fitting all that into a film
