So today apparently the part of Green Goblin has been cast for The Amazing Spiderman 2 which is bringing the villain count for this movie up to three, already planned is Electro and Rhino as well. Its funny how Sony wanted to reboot the Spiderman series because Spiderman 3 did not meet their expectations yet they are making the same mistakes in this one as Spiderman 3, too many villains. Disney should take the rights back to the Spiderman movies before these idiots mess it up for a third time.

I guess some people never learn.

Huh. I would like to hear your reasoning for this.
I guess it could be considered that too many villains cause a sort of imbalance. Personally, I enjoyed Spiderman 3 and I never knew that it didn't meet expectations.

But... I actually like The Amazing Spiderman. I felt like it had more charm than the Sam Raimi trilogy.

Edit: ^ ^ Spiderman 3 sucked total ass. It was a piece of trash.

The AV Club put it best:
"Chris Cooper cast as Norman Osborn in Spider-Man movie that you haven't seen yet, technically"

Alot of people site the reason for Spiderman 3 being weak compared to the other two movies was that they had to many villains. It is a known fact that even Raimi didnt want to have 3 villains but the studio wanted to include Venom for the fanboys. Raimi was against the whole idea of Venom but finally caved to the studios demands. This was the start of Raimi not coming back for a fourth one and Sony rebooting the series.

Oh boy, eventually we'll have the same old boring, predictable plot of Norman dying and Harry taking up after him, eventually becoming a tragic hero in some way or another. Yawn.

I like the Superior Spider-Man plot in the comics. :3

I didn't like The Amazing Spider, felt like I was watching a teen drama movie, but The Amazing Spider-man game was pertty good, follows right after the movie.
But, getting back to the subject, the last 3 Spder-man movies weren't bad, with the second one being my favorite, but the 3rd felt like they were trying so hard, and rushing Vemon too late into the movie, just to have him killed off so quickly.

I think they should just get to the part when Spider-man is in his prime, and already have his villains, but that wouldn't work out nether, with out the back story to those villains....I say, just get to the good parts of Spder-,man's story. I mean, isn't The Amazing Spider, the one who tries to join the Fantastic Four, or when Iron Man start making Spider-man iron suits for fun.

I mean, the people already know spider-man, lets just get to the next part of his life, and not relive it again.

who?

You know who, we been thought this before >:[
Don't make me come over there to australia >:3

...Ok? Not sure what that adds to this discussion.

Eh, still has to be better than Spiderman 2. God, that was an awful film.

At least there isn't a Tobey Maguire in sight.

I liked the reboot and Spider-Man 3.

To be fair we still don't know if he'll be the Green Goblin in this film when it's more likely that he'll be saved for TAS3. They might have some sort of after the credits sequence teasing him for the next film, or at least that's what i'm hoping.

I agree but the problem with that idea is who currently has the movie rights. Right now Sony currently has the movie rights to Spiderman, Fox has the movie rights to both Xmen and Fantastic Four and Disney has the movie rights to Ironman. SO unless these studios can agree together a crossover more than likely wont happen or not untill Disney gets all the rights to the Marvel movies.

Interesting enough though Fox is planning a reboot of Fantastic Four and they are saying that since they also have the rights to Xmen that eventually they would like to see a cross over so they have stated that this reboot of Fantastic Four will take place in the same universe as Xmen.

Its been stated in several articles that he will be the Green Goblin.

Remember "One More Day," the one where Peter makes a deal withy the devil only to have nothing happen at all. That was not only badly written, but it felt like a big ol' "F**k you!" To all those who actually cared about Mary Jane and Peter's relationship.

I think Linkara from That Guy With the Glasses puts it best. Go check out his review of why it's an abomination of the human mind.

Spiderman 3 had more problems than just too many villains, but yes, 3 villains is simply too much for one movie. Hope they can pull it off, but I doubt they will.

WAIT! What if the Green Goblin just makes a cameo appearance? Or did they do that already in The Amazing Spider Man? I can't remember...

@Tasuki
All the articles i've read say that we don't know whether or not Osborn makes his villainous turn in this movie.
