X-Men 3

[Las Naranjas]

I assume it will be a biological experiment thingy like Ultimate Venom rather than an alien.

And they could have it bond with a street mime and it'd be a more complex and interesting character than Eddie Brock.

Also, why haven't we seen the Hypno Hustler in the films yet?

Or Spot, The Gibbon, The Grizzly, The Ringer, Stegron, the spider-kid, humbug, the mudman (you know, the amalgam of Sand and hydro man), the 30, 000 odd "half baked" spideys from Maximum Clonage, fusion (the midget scientist/midget janitor destruction machine), red ghost's super apes, ramrod, the cyclone (he can totally spin real fast), demogoblin (a triumph of writing, really!), slyde, Cardiac (who has the superpower of appearing endlessly in the early 90's and then suddenly dissapearing for all time), the hate monger (alien ape man of course, no hitler clones for me!), the gold bug, cyborg Silvermane, The Answer (who is he? A good question, and he is THE ANSWER...and that is the extent of his character).

These are all classic villains! 40 years legacy of classic writing.

You know something? Although I've been reading Spiderman for 5-6 years in a row (but probably before 1990, and in Greek, which could go even further back in time), I have never heard any of these, except maybe cyclone...

Nikolas, that's one of the stories, but I've found three of them...  Dunno which one is the correct one, I think that Stan Lee should edit a REALLY big compilation each 10 years or something choosing which one of the versions is the correct one and make it official, if he does not do something similar. Maybe a 200 pages high graphic quality edition, it should rock, and it really help the guys like are too lazy for following the stories week by week buying the comic. 

About Spider-man 3... Topher Grace as Venom?



He is a "^_^" boy! He can't be the bad one, too skinny and lovely! Maybe we're being witness of a future Spin off, like happened with "Elektra" in Daredevil's film? I think it's been suggested many times that Venom is not really a bad guy, he just doesn't want to share NY with another Spider hero. I've been told that they become allies when there's a superior super evil to combat.

About the finish of the saga... Maybe with Raimi, but the story must be developed at least with Green Goblin 2 and the final redemption of the osborne family.

***Spiderman Comic saga spoiler***

Spoiler

Apparently, Osborne Sr. is not dead, and he wants to kill Spidey and MJ, but a redimed Osborne Jr. Comes as Goblin 2 and saves them both, killing goblin 1 and himself

I think... I just follow the series by internet short briefs...

Oh, and a post coital thought (of all places) reminds me I neglected the Big Wheel. He has a big wheel.

And I won't say "'nuff said"

Farlander, if you go to the official Spiderman page (google spiderman 3, it worked for me) you will so all info for about 15 vilains. But thanks...

You know which movie sucked big time, where as a comic book started out pretty well? SPAWN! The most awfull bullshit movie I've ever seen taken from a comic book. Not to mention that I think that Tod McFarlant (<-Is this his name?) was co-directing it, but with no talent whatsoever!

EDIT: Checked the official X-men 3 site! Juggernaut will be in! That's nice. An indestructable super vilain. Yeah! Why not?

Spider-man:
I've always been against Grace playing Venom. Carnage maybe, but not venom.  And awhile ago, the director mentioned that if he were to do a venom movie, it would probably include Carnage, and they would get their own movie devoted to them, like Spider-man 4.   

Then later, I read in the news on SuperHeroHype that Dunst states that Venom is in this one!!  That didn't make sense to me, but its got credentials. I'm still hoping that Grace is actually playing the shape-shifter, or at least one of the personalities.

I think if I were to be writing it, I would probably have Spider-man get that suit during this movie, but at the end get rid of it, as mentioned above, and have it attack/absorb Brock in the church and have the screen go black as it covers him, teasing you for the next one in years to come.

Sandman... I'm pretty stoked about it. I just really hope they continue to make great sequels for as long as the stars can stand it.
-------------
X-men:
I enjoyed this franchise a lot as well. (They need to come out with the 90's cartoon on DVD, my bootleg doesn't cut it). I would love Sentinels in this movie, especially when its been teased to us in xmen 2, when mystique is on the computer, and the secret project file was shown, and with Magneto going beserk this movie, the people may demand the government to help control them.

I've always wanted them to do the Cable/Bishop storyline with Apocolypse, coming back in time to stop the mutant virus. Maybe next one, especially if they bring in Archangel and Apololypse storylines.

Whatever, I'm just a needy fanboy.

Well in the interview with Dunst for Spidey 2 she let slip it was Doc Ock which pissed off some of the Sony execs, this leads me to think that she's not being as truthful this time around- or really just IS stupid.  Besides, Raimi has said over and over and over that he doesn't want Venom in a movie (despite what imdb says).  Check the interviews, you'll see what I mean.  Raimi is very dedicated to making the story flow a certain way and in a certain order, and Venom would way overaccelerate the flow.  Especially since he's hinted more than once that this one will be about a final confrontation with Green Goblin 2 (Harry Osborne) and Spidey, with Curt Connors along as his haplessly violent alter ego The Lizard.  I'd be surprised if Sandman is even in it since that would involve yet another introduction and backstory and Raimi's too smart to waste more screen time on that.  After all, you'd have William Baker (alias Flint Marko) as a petty crimelord thug, then he'd have to be shown hiding in some test site near georgia and being bombarded with nuclear radiation while on the beach.  It's just too much to have a complete backstory for a villain at this stage of the game, not when they've established Curt and Harry already (and wouldn't take too much screen time to show their transition).  There is also the slight rumor around that, like in the comic, Norman isn't dead and returns from the grave (owing to his extremely heightened powers of regeneration).  That could make for a possibly sticky situation indeed for the wall crawler. 

Also, just a note about the bit with Jonah's son.  In Ultimate Spiderman (I believe) the origin of the symbiote has been changed from Secret Wars to Jonah's son John (Man-Wolf) Jameson finding it on one of his space missions.  I doubt his encounter with the ruby on the moon will be covered in the film, so no Man-Wolf in Spiderman 3.

Personally, I've never had a use for Venom.  He's big, dumb, and not at all interesting.  Marvel has so many fanboys lusting over him, however, that they simply can't decide whether to make him good or evil, so he just waffles back and forth whenever it's convenient.

Prog, I was worried about having Venom in the next film too.
I'm glad to see there's some doubt, originating from Raimi no less.
I really want to see The Lizard, The Vulture, Electro...
