Sequels Who should lead a movie Sinister Six?

[The Joker]

The Green Goblin should come back.

No, he shouldn't. We've had two movies with the frickin' Goblins.

Enough already. The Goblin saga is done.

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.

Somebody who gets it... apparently all you people think a Sinister 6 is dumbing down the franchise even more... I don't know about you guys... but I am tired of these movies being geered to 14 year olds... lets devise an intelligent plot... villains with brains... not bank robbers and mad scientists getting into accidents and going beserk... keep in mind we will be getting that again with Lizard so enough is enough beyond that. A Sinister Six could be a complicated but intricate story interconnecting every villain and story left out there culminating into an action packed climax. Thats why most comic book movies are sh:t... just utter nonsensical stories with no realism and no chance taking. Just a cliche mix of action and sex that we have seen time and time again... then you look at Xmen, and Batman Begins... movies that had some brains and intelligent mind sets behind the madness... Spiderman was an exception because it was popular to begin with but after SM 3 the magic is slowly fading... we need a director who is gonna take some chances and gear these movies in a much more intelligent manner rather than giving us the freak villain and a damsel in distress... now this by no means means a SInister 6 should be done... but what I mean to say is that cheap villains used in cheap plot devices (A dude struck by lightning and becoming electro, or a wrestler running around hitting things in a Haloween costume, or a robber demolecularized in a hydro plant this time)... that garbage won't cut it anymore if those types of villains aren't connected to a broader picture... a Sinister 6 is ONE possible solution that culminated these fantastical yet cheesy villains and it can actually give them a purpose. Can we really give these villains a sick daughter every time? Or make them Uncle Ben's killer? Think about it... and please if you have other solutions (and don't give me revenge and what not because thats been done so many times) I am all ears.

Well, since the magic is running low, I say quit making the fricken movies, but they say they want six movies so....

I understand your points, but I just think Sinister 6 is one of those things that should be left to comics and cartoons (and a pretty darn awesome Spider-Man ride). I guess with enough development it might work in its own way, but I wouldn't like it.

The series isn't "running out of magic." Just because the last one wasn't that great doesn't mean the potential to be good has run dry. I mean, nothing that was wrong with it had anything to do with running out of ideas, or the characters or plot getting stale. It had everything to do with studio meddling. The series still has potential to be great, if the producers learn from Spider-Man 3.

As far as Sinister Six goes, keep an open mind. To say that you wouldn't like it even if it worked is a little ridiculous.

I hope im in the right topic,but, i think no one should lead the sinister six because they are all evil and evil will not work good together in the real world thus the movie world (and they are trying to make spiderman's movie versions as real as they can) so i think they should be just villians attacking spiderman at random and at the end of the movie they all attack spiderman at once (not as a team,but as a good way to kill spiderman) but i dont they there will be a movie verison of the sinister six because everyone that is any good is dead.......Rip Doc Ock and Green Gobin want web cam girls for only 1 dollar follow this link http://www.camkingscash.com/Hit?w=7809&csurl=http://www.camkings.com/signup

I should have been clearer: I meant it would work in a "Wow, it's like the cartoon except on the big screen" way. Too campy for my tastes. Did you think Spider-Man 3 was overstuffed? (I loved the movie because despite that, it still moved seamlessly through the story. More content would have been pushing it)

I agree that if it was cartoony, I wouldn't like it. I don't think it has to be cartoony though. It'd have to be written VERY well, and it would have to go against pretty much all precedent set for how to write a Sinister Six story to work though. Spider-Man 3 was overstuffed not because of how much they tried to put in it, but the fact that they were sort of inept at putting it in there.

I mean, the Sinister Six would be six villains, but it wouldn't be six MAIN villains. There would be varying degrees of focus. At least two of the villains would probably not be any more developed than, say, Toad or Sabretooth in X-Men. And again, it would hardly be a "team." Trust me, I hate "supervillain team-ups." My LEAST favorite scene in Spider-Man 3 was when Venom met up with Sandman. It was so terribly written and seemed so cartoony. And I certainly don't want any "Villain Meetings," where they all sit around a table and say things like "I hate Spider-Man!" and "How can we destroy Spider-Man," or throwing darts at a picture of Spider-Man. The Sinister Six would not be organized for express purpose of destroying Spider-Man, because there's no reason for them to hate him. It would be organized for the purpose of, say, hijacking Manhattan or something, or for some singular goal that the leader of the Six has, and their overwhelming numbers and powers would exist mostly as a precaution against Spider-Man, who the leader knows would be their primary obstacle.

It would have to be very, very well-written; probably be someone very conscious of what's wrong with a lot of comic books, but I think that the Sinister Six, if it was well-written, would be the most appropriately spectacular conclusion to the Spider-Man series.
