It's just a bit easier in this franchise to have a villian last through one movie. Think how boring it would be if they kept making Spidey movies and Goblin was the big baddie in EVERY SINGLE ONE! Still though, I would have picked Otto over Norman any day as a character who would linger, so to speak..

In the comics the Green Goblin was far more compelling than Doc Ock, who was pretty much your stereotypical scientist-gone-mad. The accident and tentacles just made him have delusions of granduer, instead of overpowering his will. Norman, on the other hand, chose to don the green mask solely for the purpose of bringing down Spider-Man -- an interesting twist.

He did go good for awhile, but he killed the Sandman when he joined the Sinester Six. He bit him and it had a very slow and painful effect on him that spreaded through-out his body! And he had Spidey tell his mother goodbye. Poor guy. But Carnage is so cool he has the best powers! But I read a short artical in this exclusive magazine all bout SM2 think it was by Wizard or something but anyways. It was about the ultimate bad guy vs. bad guy battle. Everyone of SPidey's foes fought each other and you know I love GG but you'd think either Carnage or Vemon would win instead of him. That's what happened, GG won the other better and more powerful villians lost. It was stupid but I'll admit GG is Spidey's most common foe. I know a lot about Spider-Man he is so cool! And no one could have done him better than Tobey Maguire *drools*. Wait was that out loud? LOL kidding. And in the comics Harry dies from a slow poisoning during he's and SPidey's "final" battle. And his son Norrmie (named after the original GG) avenged him against Spider-Girl. But now they're friends. Kinda stupid. ANd also in that Wizard maggie, they have a new Spider-Girl comic coming out soon that has really no realation to Spidey or his daughter (Spider-Girl #1). And her costume (no offense Marvel) looks really cheap and just looks like punk clothes I guess. Also fun fact about Mary Jane's ex-fiance: In the comics while on the moon he found this pretty jewel thing and wore it as a necklace I think, anyway when the moon is full he turns in Man-Wolf! I'm not or werewoles cause I live with them but it's funny cause he attacked one of his dates while under the curse of the jewel. I just look back and laugh at it. But man Spidey has some of the stupidest villians, like Shocker or Cousion as most people call him. if you saw his costume you'd know why. But enough about Spidey I've got stuff to do...

Shocker is decent (though I have no idea what that second word you typed is, unless you meant "Cousin", which makes no sense). Now, the Vulture is lame. As are Kraven, the Chameleon, and a lot of the other villains he faced off against in the early years of the series.

As far as I know.. The Spiderman films are rare in that everyone is given a bit more depth than they had on the pages.

I'm almost sure that Hugh Jackman is going to reprise his role as Wolverine if the movie ever gets made. They lost Storm and now they don't have the writers and the director until 2006. This is oging to take a long time.

X-Men. Spawn kicked ass...there is an R-rated directors cut of it, which I have yet to see, but have been told that's it almost a completely different movie as opposed to the pg-13 version.

I like the idea behind Spawn, but.. The movies just aren't very interesting to me. I tend to go for classy villains and stylish ultraviolence, though.. And a violent perverted clown fighting a guy with no skin just doesn't do it for me..

Wolverine/Hugh Jackman is the heart of the X-Men movies. They would have to start all over again to make a movie without him.

'Catwomen' as in... sequels?! Fry: God Help Us! Heh, but seriously.. Good riddance. Her Storm was b-o-r-i-n-g. And they should have gotten Debra Wilson from MADtv to play Catwoman, really. At least that would have been amusing.
