what i think is that the spiderman movies are doing to goood for them to stop doing them and it would be to confusing if they make spiderman reboot then come out with number four they should get they act together and finish four

Todd MacFarlane ruined Spider-Man by making it look like a comic strip cartoon, and then went on to ruin every other book I collected. I would like to move to a universe in which Todd MacFarlane does not exist.
He ruined comics for me permanently; I stopped collecting book by book as he turned them into his ridiculous style that for unknown reasons every artist that followed him decided to copy. I eventually sold my entire collection, and I lay the blame squarely at his feet.
Spawn was crap. Now the guy makes millions selling man toys.
Give me John Byrne and Jack Kirby ANY day.
Raimi knew better than to put Venom into 3, but he was pressured by the studio into doing it, and his walking away from 4 is the best thing he can do for HIM. The film? Well, we all know what we can do to send a message to the studio of our dislike.
DON’T GO.

there is a post about marvel that is newer than this article and it talks a little bit about marvel sueing for the rights to spiderman and x-men.

@Rob

Do you know whether or not Sony have a term lease agreement on the Spiderman character?

I understand they’ve purchased the rights to shoot Spiderman films, but surely another studio like MARVEL should be able to obtain those rights.

I imagine it would be a rather costly and lengthly process. A bit like extracting teeth

I really do believe Sony have run their course with this current franchise and should relinquish all rights after Spiderman 4.

There’s a lot of cool characters that would work for me but it entirely depends on how the filmmakers bring them to life.

Unfortunately, I’m fearful that with the way Sony is handling it all, characters like Carnage and Kraven may not be as cool as they were in some of the stories we love them from the books.

@M-Cat

You’re absolutely correct. Todd McFarlane’s first five issues of “Spiderman”
with issue #1 published in Aug 90 was a storyline entitled “Torment”.

If I remember correctly, I think McFarlane was influenced by the brilliant Fearful Symmetry: Kraven’s Last Hunt series by J.M. DeMatteis, Mike Zeck and Bob McLeod which ran across three Spiderman titles: Amazing Spider-Man issues 293-294, Spectacular Spider-Man issues 131-132 and The Web of Spider-Man issues 32-33.

These were powerful benchmark stories and a turning point for everyone’s favourite arachnid.

And yes a mature script treatment of these stories would make for an awesome Spiderman film.

@ Haggislaw

I’m not positive but I think you may be referring to the “Spiderman” series started by Marvel with Todd McFarlane. The first five issues were a combination story of the Lizard and Kraven against Spiderman and it was pretty decent. Not a great read but it was dark and would make for a decent movie if given the right script. I think it came out in 1990.

I think Raimi could do very well with Carnage (from the horror point of view)

Agree to you all. Sony did screw up with not letting Raimi do the Sandman Vulture Combo.

A List Villain was Venom and could have easily hold his own Movie (with let’s say a B List, say Rhino, getting punshed in the Face as build up for the Main Arc)

Now the only true combo I could see work would be Kraven and Lizard. There was a very dark Spiderman comic i read ages ago (not even sure it got published by marvel back then since the violence and mature drawings remind meon Darkhorse). That would make a very good concept and Raimi the one director to make it happen. Doe anyone know which comic i’m refering to? I couldn’t find it anymore.

Carnage would be awesome on screen but I can’t see it happening with Raimi. If they get it right though imagine how badass that would be.

Sony can’t think that far.

You know the movie franchise doesn’t have to be so linear. Why not put Parker in a situation revisiting a villain in four that has a backstory occurring between two and three? Four could tell both stories.

Well the damage has been done with SM3 and I do think they should bring in the lizard.They alrady had curtis connors already in SM2 and SM3 and if SM5 is a big follow to SM4 than maybe they should bring in cranage on SM5.If you remember connors had a piece of the vemon suit and if you think about it the piece can transform into carnage suit and goes looking for a host or have connors do some kind of experiment on a prison inmate and it goes out of control and that inmate turns into carnage.But if this keeps going on than they should just drop it and not rush like they do with sequals these days.

The sooner Marvel Studios take control of Spiderman with a complete REBOOT which includes a veteran (A List) Director who understands and respects MARVEL’S character treatment, a fresh new cast, a mature script and some hardcore action scenes, the better.
