Carnage is too mature for the kiddie crowd that Spider-Man films focus around. If they dumb it down so that it is suitable for children it would ruin the aspect of Carnage's psychotic character from the comic. Truthfully though, I'm not a huge fan of the symbiote story of Spider-Man comics as I am the original Sinister Six with Doc Ock, Electro, Vulture, Sandman, Hobgoblin and Mysterio.

I believe that in order to show Carnage's true character, the movie would have to be Rated-R, which will definitely not happen. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Truthfully though, I'm not a huge fan of the symbiote story of Spider-Man comics as I am the original Sinister Six with Doc Ock, Electro, Vulture, Sandman, Hobgoblin and Mysterio.</div> I actually think that Carnage and Venom are among the greatest villains ever. They're just really badass.

Yeah I would take them over Joker, Mr Freeze, Lex Luthor etc any day. You can check them out here. http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/index.html

Also, a better site for finding Marvel-based characters would be here at the Marvel Database. A complete rip off of the Wiki format, but it rocks.
<div class="quote_poster">Mercury Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Oh and for some reason, I hate the Vulture.</div> At your age I hated him too because he looks like some old piece of crap and quite truthfully really not all that cool looking. However, once you read comics with him, you find that he's a genius and one tough bastard. My personal favorite Spidey villain is the Shocker though. Did you know he's the one and only villain with a winning battle record against Spider-Man?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Did you know he's the one and only villain with a winning battle record against Spider-Man?</div> LOL. Who would of thought? I seriously figured it would either be Carnage or Venom. Shocker is pretty badass too, I remember him kicking my ass in the original Spiderman games.
I never read the comics, but I used to watch the old Spiderman cartoons when I was little. I always liked Carnage and Venom, and I think I still have those action figures lying around somewhere...
Carnage is the man lol I'd love to see that character but I agree that it would be very hard to do. I think Hobgoblin should be in one of the movies, I used to love that guy in the cartoons lol. I think they should find a way to fit in Kingpin as well.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I think they should find a way to fit in Kingpin as well.</div> I got enough of Kingpin in DareDevil. He was a bit lame.
^^Daredevil was lame as a whole. Michael Clark Duncan wasn't a good fit for that role IMO. Maybe they could get a way for Kingpin to hir the symbiotes and fight Spiderman..who knows.
These guys should feature in the 4th movie: http://www.spiderfan.org/characters/legion_of_losers.html
Supposedly there was an interview with someone from 3 that said their character (who appeared to die in the movie) isn't really dead.
M got it spot on. I think they'll butcher Carnage and make him like the Riddler from Batman Forever. It's a shame, because he's like a horror movie character. A psychopath in every sense of the word. My favourite Spiderman villain is Venom, but my favourite sagas revolved around the Green Goblin (even though they did him terribly in the movies). In the comics, he's at the center of some of the best storylines and his character's just such a menace. Plus he was responsible for the most surprising twist I'd ever seen (the Gwen Stacy "incident"). Also, I really got to disagree with you about the greatest set of villains. Batman's villains are by far the most intriguing and interesting. The Joker alone is probably my favourite villain, but there are so many others (Two Face was done so awesomely).
Just saw it today. I enjoyed it actually. But I have to agree that they should have had more of Venom. I have a feeling he'll be back though. Gotta wait another 3 years or so for number 4.
The comic book carnage killed everything / body in sight. From ants to dogs to humans he was an insane killer. Spiderman4 would be a Blood and gore movie. Plus its stupid IMO because the character powers are so similar to Venom why put him in? The carnage series is to dark for PG13 audience
