Raimi wants Morbius? Jan. 9, 2009
Source: JoBlo.com   by: Mike Sampson

Whlie SPIDER-MAN 4 is still a ways away, the debate over who should be the villain(s) in that film still rages hot. Up until now, smart money was on Lizard whose Curt Connors has been making appearances in previous films (and with the Venom installment of the SPIDER-MAN trilogy having the worst reviews of the bunch, you can bet Raimi will return to Golden Age villains). But Raimi spoke to Empire Magazine and his comments might surprise you. Says Raimi of which villain he thinks is "really cool":

I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius... A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural.

Hmm it definitely is an interesting spin on things to see Spider-Man fighting a villain. Sadly I always felt that the Morbius arcs in the comics were always a little disappointing. For those in the dark, Dr. Michael Morbius was diagnosed with a fatal blood condition. Desperately trying to keep himself alive, he used a serum he concocted partly of bat blood. This, combined with electroshock treatments, transformed him into some kind of man/vampire/bat hybrid. Perhaps not coincidentally, the origin of Morbius in the comics is very closely entwined with...Lizard.

Extra Tidbit: So would you dig the mix of superhero and supernatural?

RAIMI
I can't believe the amount of hate Sam Raimi is getting. This guy has made some fantastic films in his career (S1, S2, Evil Dead trilogy, A simple plan) and now he is getting slagged off for one less than decent one. Yeah, I agree Spiderman 3 was easily the worst of the franchise but we all now he wasn't making all the decisions. He should be allowed to make up his own mind on the villains. I have faith in his ability.
My own opinion, bring on the Lizard with Kraven appearing towards the end which could then carry on the part 5.

Just let Raimi do what he wants. We all saw what happened when they force characters down his throat. If he wants to use Slyde, Spot or Grizzly, I say go right ahead.

Wow, I'm impressed. I think the Raimi hatin' has reached Zack Snyder proportions... I'm not sold on Morbius, but I'm not completely against the idea. Much like many of you, I would love to see Kraven and The Lizard. After having a Conners cameo in all three movies so far, I just don't see how The Lizard could be passed on again. Why even place him in the film continuity at all if you are never going to develop the character? I always liked Lizard as a villain and I think he'd be great in a Spidey film, especially with Kraven on tap as well.

RAIMI + CRACK = BAD IDEA
First off...
As bad as the contrived spiderman 3 script was, the film was still pretty badass...
I am a big spiderman fan and even though I hated the so many coincidental moments in the film:
Eg.
-Meteor landing right directly in front of Peter giving him even more super powers(wow, what a lucky guy, wherever he goes, superpowers just land on his lap). Why didn't Raimi just use the rocket ship from pt2 to bring back the symbiote (much more plausible).
- Sandman just happens to walk by a truck full of sand in the middle of manhattan (He too is a lucky guy)
- Goblins butler suddenly after years of secrecy tells little gobby that his pops was an asshole (clumsy one at that)and killed himself by accident.
- I can go on but I won't
I still loved the film and found it the most entertaining of the three.
Raimi is not a bad director, he just lost his fucking mind! Someone needs to slap the shit out of him and wake his ass up. Spiderman 3 should not have had Venom in it (My favorite Villain of all time). He should have build up to him, then have Harry and Peter defeat Mega Sandman, then Peter and Mary do their kissy thing while Peter promises Mary Jane to rid himself of the symbiote, and the final scene should have been the bell tower scene and the birth of Venom. That way, you've got a badass ending and tremendous anticipation for part 4! Voila! Instant buzz for Spiderman 4!
But now Raimi is talking this Morbius shit... How about burning through all your A and B level villains before introducing some Z level turd Vampire wannabe. He said Venom didn't interest him, BUT MORBIUS DOES! Come on Raimi, stop smokin that crack!!!!!!!!!!

True that. Why ya'll riding the mans scrotum so hard? They can't all be hits. Vampires have always been cool to me so this is good news.

LOL
thanks for ur ideas snootch2nootch...

Spidey 3 was so terrible that I hope to god the dark knight doesn't have a third one. I mean.. the spidey movies were always decent, but at least they were getting better... the second one was considered by many to be "the best superhero film ever made" for a while. I think they tried too hard to outdo themselves.
