Man, I really hope this series lasts long enough to do the famous Electro story with Spidey under a pile of machinary. I'm sure Raimi wants to to that.
Looks like they're going with the Venom angle (not that I'm saying Venom will be in *this* movie, per se). First hit iconic villains (Gobby and Ock), then go with the "money" villains, that the young kids recognize?
The only problem with the Spider-Man franchise is that...there are just so many damn villains to choose from. My brother and I had a discussion about this, and we're pretty certain that Spider-Man has more enemies than any other superhero (and most, if not all, teams!) in either of the two major comic book worlds.
How does he sleep at night? Or leave MJ alone? Jeez...
yeah... i mena heck.. even i recognize venom and i don't even read spierman... although my personal favorite villan is probably Hobgoblin. on a side note, i'm guessing they are going to do the suits first appearance as it was int eh original comics.. heh...

I'll agree that Venom is also iconic, but in a much more modern sense. Hopefully I'm making more sense myself now. :-)
