Sequels Who should lead a movie Sinister Six?

Who should be the leader of the movie Sinister Six?

  • Norman Osborn/Green Goblin (some story to explain that hes alive)

  • Doc Ock (never truly died)

  • No leader, they act as a team

  • Some other villian


Results are only viewable after voting.
No it doesn't. It is just a bad idea. Why bring Norman back? He served his purpose. The best way to make the Goblin legacy linger is Hobgoblin, not Norman again. Bringing Norman back is unneccesary and a cop out.
 
Well, I myself try to stay open about these types of things, especially concerning really interesting comic villains. And there should be a Hobgoblin in the movies, yes. I think Jason Macendale with shades of Roderick Kingsley only because Macendale's profession and name is much cooler. But even more awesome would be a GG vs. Hobgoblin smackdown for Goblin supremacy that Peter would have to referee just to make sure innocent people don't get hurt.
 
There are plenty interesting ones left not names Green Goblin.

Part of the beauty of Spider-Man.

Well, off the top of my head I can't really come up with any notable cool ones aside from the ones we've seen already and ones we must see like Hobgoblin, Vulture, Lizard, and Carnage.
 
Villains I would like to see:

The Lizard
Mysterio
Hobgoblin
Electro
Kraven
Scorpion

Not big on Vulture or Carnage, but I think they could be used down the line.

That would be a total of 8 at the top of my head.

I think with Mysterio, he should be the sixth member of the Sinister 6, but only because they couldn't find a sixth member. I think Bruce Campbell should play Mysterio, just to connect his cameos in the movie. Given Mysterio's design, he could be an effective comic relief character, the one that illicits an "Oh, brother." type reaction from Peter.
 
After some of the b1tching some of you engaged in about 3 villains being too much, you still want a S6 movie?? In "effin" credible.

Mysterio is underrated...he can be a great cinematic villain.
 
A animal version of the sinister six lead by kraven

kraven
vulture 2nd in command
rhino
scorpion
kangaroo (comical entry)
lizard

and kraven mid way through getting axed and replaced by the originally thought of dead-ock 60-70% through the movie...

that'd be nice but not at least till spiderman 6

I actually really want to avoid more than one animal-themed villain in the same movie... let alone an entire group of them.
 
As I've stated a billion times, I firmly believe they should adapt Adam-Troy Castro's "Sinister Six" trilogy to the established movie universe AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE. It was so well written, with great action and story combined to make an awesome series. I voted "Other," simply because in these stories, a man called "The Gentleman" takes the helm of the Six, not as a member, but as an employer of sorts.

The lineup:

Dr. Octopus
Electro
Mysterio
Vulture
Chameleon
Pity (The Gentleman's personal bodyguard - throughout the story, one of the main mysteries is that of her possibly being Peter's long lost sister - great drama there)

For the most part, everyone I've talked to on these boards who have read the books agree that they were very well written and, if ever successfully adapted for screen, would make an incredible movie. :)

But that's the question - COULD it be done successfully while still being tied to the currently established movie canon?
 
ok here are my choices

Electro - he could be like pure evil.me and my bro were discussing this,and i think that like in number five u see cillian murphey (my choice for electro) collecting some dudes to work with him,and leads up number six.

Rhino - strong,dumb,perfect combination to tear spidey apart.

Vulture - played by ben kingsley,is a theif ( as in the comics) and electro sees him as a wise old man,and a perfect villian for his team.

Mysterio - someone suggested this before,but i think he should be a street performer that spidey pisses off in 4 or 5 and wants revenge.

Lizard - confused,electro promises to help him come back to normal,but eventually realizes that he was lying.

Kraven - just is a blood thirsty killer.twisted,mad,and wants murder.
 
I am not the least bit interested in the Sinister Six for Spider-Man 6, nor for any other Spider-Man movie for that matter. I am aware of the "escalation" aspect of sequels that needs to be there, but I believe this can be achieved with less, but more developed villains, as well as a remarkable plot with depth and emotion.

In conclusion, I say no to the Sinister Six!

So, true, so true.

They always ask for something, and when they get it, they b:tch about it. :dry:
 
SM3 was flawed for the handling of the villains... the fact that people can't seem to get the difference is just b:itching the other way around... you just have to develop it... look at Xmen... its the same concept. You develop the base for a Sinsiter 6 in SM4 itself (just like the brotherhood) and it won't be a mess by the time you get there... it would be a complicated story, but one that could be done with the proper time and effort.

I agree with that. You can't just slap it together. If Sinister Six is going to work, you have to start laying the groundwork for that storyline now. I think the villains and basic story for all of the next three movies should be planned, if not revealed to the public, ahead of time, so they can write the movies accordingly and avoid plotholes and rushed characters.

I think between Black Cat, the Lizard/Dr. Connors storyline, and whatever Sinister Six plotline would run through the three movies would be more than enough to provide the next trilogy with it's own story arc.
 
No Sinster Six.

Period. The concept was always cheesy and would look ridiculous on screen. And if three villains were TOO MUCH for SM3, why do people want 6 who would have no time to develop in the film and come off about as deep as "the bad mutants" in X3, then?
 
X-men is a group. Not one hero like Spiderman. Why do we always compare the two.
 
A Sinister Six movie would never work. You can either have six meaningful villains or six throwaway villains working together: the former is impossible to establish within the confines of a 2 hour movie, and the latter is pointless.

Moreover, six villains all at once takes away that pseudo-realistic feel that the Spiderman movies pride themselves on.

A mix of the two isn't possible? And it wouldn't be established within the confines of one movie... at least two, though ideally three, of the villains would have already been introduced and developed over the course of the previous films, two of them would be throwaways, and one would be a new and meaningful villain who would act as the dramatic focus (as far as the villains go, anyway).

And to people who say it was cheesy in the comics, they're right. It was terribly cheesy. I hate "supervillain teams." They reek. However, with the right script, the Sinister Six could be reinvented... not as a superhero team, but as a loosely bound group of freaks and sociopaths manipulated and coerced by a single evil mastermind using them and their abilities for his own ends.
 
The Green Goblin should come back.

Um... how? He was impaled on a Goblin Glider and his body has been buried since for years. I know it happens all the time in comics, but we try not to overlook small details (like logic) in movies.
 
Yeah but in the comics it says no matter what wound he gets, he can still be alive.
