^ That's exactly why this series is dead to me. The peak of Spiderman (comic) for me was Spidey/Venom/Carnage and the whole Venom being good/evil and Carnage just being plain evil. Would have been the BEST movie ever with all the emotions crap Raimi could have included.
Since it's not possible now, so I hate it.
I don't understand why these movie execs/directors pick the worst villians to pad out. Their creative direction 'ideals' ruin potential great comic book flicks.
Xmen 3 and Spiderman 3 were just abomination of films after getting the first two almost right.
Cyclops dead = Fail.
Venom dead = Fail.

As soon as Topher Grace was cast to play Eddie Brock I knew his character was going to blow.

When you say teen years, and I put that together with a reboot of spider-man, I can't help but think of Spectacular Spider-man... It does have a catchy theme song ^__^
Perhaps they are trying to capture todays younger audience?? But I don't know if a movie version of this would work so well =\
But this reminds me to check to see if any new seasons are available for viewing!

From what i've heard, Spectacular Spiderman was pretty close to being canceled. The Two sesaons they've made didn't rate brilliantly despite the quality.
But your right, thats a damn catchy theme song.

Good call, it's a well made show despite the ratings problems. Speaking of, has anyone seen that God awful Iron Man 3D animated show? WTF?
Anyway, I have to disagree with the Venom/Carnage thing. Personally, I'm not a fan of either, and would have preferred sticking to characters like Vulture or Mysterio. And if you haven't seen the new Ultimate Spidey or the reboots of the older villains in the ongoing comics, then I suggest you do. It's a good basis for what could have been done with some of the slightly weaker foes of old. Hopefully they follow the Bendis way on Ultimates for this new movie series.

He's also great at making a decent realistic love story, which should mean it will take ages for Spiderman and Mary Jane to get together

Unless you are talking about the Ultimate Spider-Man game, do not mention Ultimate Spider-Man again   Though Beetle looks cool in US.
Whern it comes to SM I'm a traditionalist.I don't want no stupid nerd MJ, young Doc Oc who has the hots for MJ or Venom being a flat out out Villain.Hell I can't stand the fact that Mac Gargon is Venom in the standard SM.Eddy Brock is THE Venom.
The thing that makes Venom my favourite villain ever is partly because he is an anti-villain imo.If he has no reason to kill you he will leave you alone and even prtect you.But if you wrong him he WILL kill you.
Then it's very likely I will not watch the new movies.

I think the 2 worst news out of this is:
a) high school storyline
b) robert pattison (sp) being the new potential spidey.
either of those things just aren't interesting to me. Teen years? I'll pass.

another update on the reboot. Its being reported that the new trilogy is going to have more in common with the Ultimate Spider-man comics, in that the big villain fighting is taking more of a back seat to Parkers school and home life.
Also Sony has reportedly set aside a rather small budget(for a tent pole action flick) of $80 million.
And all casting rumors till this point are complete BS, So no R. Pattison. They want people without the profile, so i'd say that rules out Joseph Gordon Levitt and (thank god) Micheal Cera.

I wouldnt say that rules out Joseph Gordon Levitt because he has a high profile (because he doesnt really), more so because he wouldnt be a good Spiderman

Oh, no doubt. JGL seems to have that kind of talent as a actor that to pull off near any role, and I do hope to see him in the film in some capacity. But he's got to be too old now to be playing a high school student. He pulled it off in Brick, but that was shot 2003, its been seven years and his 28 now. Maybe as a Villan, or the Ultimate versus Eddie Brock.
That said, there's only one actor i can think of that might be able to pull of a High School Peter Parker. Haley Joel Osment. Kid had talent once upon a time, his young enough to pull off a kid in mid/late teens. But his kinda weird lookin now.

Man do people like anything these days!?
I just watched my first episode of SSM and I think it's a briliant show.Yes it has US elements which as you know from my other post I hate but it still stays rather close to the original SM so I can handle the small US elements.

Spider-Man died after about 10 minutes into No.3. That abortion of a film needs to be burned to clense the franchise of its sins.
