No Carnage please. Except for the fanboys nobody wants to see the symbiotes again. We want to move on to different stories.
It would not make sense to have him in this. First of all Carnage is a R rated villain or hard PG-13. Second and most important if they messed up Venom so bad what makes anyone think Carnage would be treated any better. Finally Peter already figured out how to defeat the symbiotes so it would not be hard for him to get rid of Carnage.
Hell, why not just do the Sinister Six? A group of villains that should prove to be a challenge for Spidey!
Unless, that is, Sony wants every single villain to have too much backstory and character development, more than Spidey himself.
Wouldn't work since Ock is dead and Sandman is a good guy. Besides having six villains would be overkill.
There's no superhero out there that requires a rogue of six of his toughest villains in order to bring him down, especially when the feat has been done on a one-on-one basis before. To me, if you are going to go out and do something against an individual, do it Kraven style or last hunt style, no messing around with groupies, no distractions. Anything more than a band of three for a single hero is just silly and really demeans all villains involved.
Villains teaming together should only occur against big hitting teams like fantastic four or the avengers/x-men. There is no reason, no matter how much hate there is between them, no reason not to keep it professional against one dude. Look at how it was handled in the ultimate line, there were five of them, and they weren't even all necessary in capturing Spidey and ringing him in. The five of them were taken out by the Ultimates and Spider-man.
Even though they didn't share common goals, they all worked together professionally, even the big two of Norman and Ock, which would be like impossible to comprehend. Six is just overkill and for me, that's why it's a really bad idea. besides, it's not like they were the first bunch of villains to team up against someone...so it's not even an original good idea.
Sounds great for the cartoons but in a movie it will be a cornball fest. I say focus on no more than two villains at a time for the sake of a good story. He has his hands full with one villain at a time as it is. Don't over saturate the film.
