I have always liked electro for some reason. I think with CGI a battle between spider-man and electro would look great. I also wouldnt mind if the vulture was picked to go up against peter.
 
The dynamic I want for Electro is just pure greed. I would like it play out like how the Goblin was after Tombstone's empire in Spectacular Spider-Man.
Norman is in charge and Electro just wants what Norman has. Simples.
Then you can have a movie about Electro trying to grab power and Spidey getting in the way, at first Spidey is just an annoyance but then Electro tires of Spidey sticking his nose into his business so tries to kill him.

So the motivation for Electro isnt complex the complexity comes from how Electro go about in his attempt to take power away from Norman.
 
I still don't see how Electro fits into the work as a whole. Electro can play the greed card and can provide damage to Norman Osborn, but how does that tie into Peter's parents and the backstory of Oscorp?

Some of us need to look at the big picture and think about how everything works from a storytelling perspective. Picking a new villain that hasn't been on screen yet comes at a potential opportunity cost of an effective storyline. I don't want Webb and co. to pick a villain like Electro or Mysterio and just plug in "oh, their tech/powers come from Oscorp" as an attempt to tie it all together.
 
Electro could be involved in the death of Peter's parents, or work for Osborn for some other reason.
 
Eh, I'm still a little iffy. If they do go with Electro in ASM2, I honestly wouldn't mind that much. I just think that they'd have to go with Green Goblin for ASM3, and then make a fourth movie to show the fallout from the death of Gwen Stacy.
 
Yeah but that's still very possible. Though the fourth film won't probably have the same director and lead actors but it's very possible they aim for more than three films. Me personally I'm happy if they save Green Goblin for the third.
 
As long as they don't end the entire thing on Gwen's death, I'll be fine :oldrazz:
 
However they do Electro, I just hope he isn't tied to Peter in some way. Getting really tired of "HE'S MY BEST FRIEND" "HE WAS A FRIEND OF MY FATHER'S" "HE KILLED MY UNCLE" Just make him a ****ing bad guy.
 
Yeah I'm just saying Arad might tie him to the death of Peter's parents. I can see them going that angle to tie him to the overall story. But as you, I'd prefer Electro not to have any personal ties with Peter.

The reason I want Green Goblin saved for ASM3 is that I want more character development on Norman Osborn before that and I think we need the whole ASM2 for that.
 
I'm liking the idea of Electro and Goblin teaming up to kill his parents years ago, then Electro having to come out of retirement or something to kill Peter since he knows to much. I still hope Norman was the guy in the shadows though. I hope he's in TASM2 too.
 
I really love the bolded part! Would be so ****ing awesome! Though I don't like the idea of Peter and Max being around the same age. I don't think I can take a young Electro seriously enough, and I'd prefer him to be a little older so we can have a better actor for him because let's face not, many young actors wouldn't fit as a super villain.
They don't necessarily have to both be in high school. Peter could just be interning at Oscorp, and happens to come across Max Dillon, who works a bottom-of-the-ladder job, maybe as a tech guy or something like that. Maybe they strike up a small conversation, see how much they relate to each other, and become good acquaintances.

Thats too much like Ra's vs Batman in BB
Not necessarily.

When I said that wants to destroy the city and becomes at odds Spidey, I meant that he wants to get back at all the people that did or he thinks stepped all over him all those years. I'd compare him more to Andrew from Chronicle, in that he carries all of this emotional baggage over the years from being picked on and abused, mentally and physically, and takes it out on those people once he gains his powers.

Only, where Max is concerned, he's even more of a destructive force of nature due to the unpredictability of his powers (a walking lightning bolt) and his mental unstability.

Personality-wise, I'd like to see something similar to Spectacular Spider-Man Electro. Bad temper, made even worse by his powers.

However they do Electro, I just hope he isn't tied to Peter in some way. Getting really tired of "HE'S MY BEST FRIEND" "HE WAS A FRIEND OF MY FATHER'S" "HE KILLED MY UNCLE" Just make him a ****ing bad guy.
Like I said above, he doesn't have to be a close friend that Peter's known for years. Just someone that Peter happened to meet and hit it off with.

You can make a villain sympathetic while still making him a through-and-through bad guy. X-Men: First Class, and even Chronicle to an extent, showed that it could be done without making the character a whiny, entitled baby.

Just give him the proper motivation and character development, and the rest will follow.

I agree to a point. He will be tied to Peter in one way or another but Electro (Max) was mostly power hungry and not so much a typical 'bad guy' or truly evil like, say GG for example. I don't think Electro should be a 'friend' to Peter or have anything to do with the death of his Uncle. They should just stick to the story from the comics on that and have the search for Ben's killer continue and hopefully be resolved in the sequel.

I'd like to see Electro working for Osborn. They can still make Electro a sympathetic villain whilst having him become more and more attracted to power. I'd like for him to have an interesting story and have deep elements to him and not be just a typical 'bad guy.' However when it comes time to use GG and they better f-ing use him...that's when they need to bring the pure evil bad guy twisted psycho to the screen.
 
Electro could be a electrician working at Oscorp. ;)

I'm so tired of Spider-Man's villains all being sympathetic, to the point where I would include in Electro's origin that he's also a child molester and rapist. :o

If that was him in the after credits scene then he needs to be tied to peter, if not then i don't want him to be tied to Peter.

Haha! Electro...played by Freddy Krueger.
 
I dont want Electro to be even remotely related to Peter Parker,not even acquaintances.Isnt it stupid that all the Superheroes popping up in town are somehow related to the only superhero in town?
 
And no offence but a young Electro and him being jealous of Peter's childhood are stupid ideas
However they can show his childhood in his origin but leave it up to the audience to compare their childhood and see how they turned out

:woot:

Yeah, I gotta agree. I personally want something truly evil that he's done before he becomes Electro, that has nothing to do with Peter.
