Venom is still alive by iwontwin	May 26th, 2007 05:49:49 AM
hed better be, because topher was great as brock/venom...we just need more of spideys antithesis. The skeletal carnage is truly creepy though, it looks like the symbiote is melting!
Good entries, the winner is definitely the best. by brokentusk	May 26th, 2007 06:11:47 AM
For once. I seriously hope they re-introduce Venom in the next film and do his character justice. Actually, I hope they film SPIDER-MAN 4 and 5 back-to-back and have a large story involving Venom, Carnage and possibly the Lizard. That'd be sweet, but it probably won't happen.
Who gives a fuck about any of this? by The Mighty Molecule	May 26th, 2007 06:29:44 AM
Spider-man 3 was an epic fucking mess and living proof that studios don't give a rat's asshole about investing in a good script. Something like 3 years after the excellent spidey 2 and all we get is a cameo from venom and a boatload of sentimental bullshit that'd make spielberg blush? Please! Everyone's too busy blowing their loads over the fact we got to see venom for all of 20 mins, that they aren't realising the script was something Uwe Boll would've refused to wipe his ass with. Who's in charge at sony? They should have their fucking head examined for letting Raimi and his hack of a brother write a movie of this size. Where was Alvin sargent? Did they him tied up or drugged while they were writing all the lame dialogue and under developed plot points and character arcs? The only way this "franchise" should be continued is under new direction and with all new actors. I like Sam but he's always been a director with a lack of self controll and he's shown that again gradually over the course of these three films (culminating in that fucking dance number and 10min "evil peter" montage). Fresh blood!
oh, and great artwork guys. by The Mighty Molecule	May 26th, 2007 06:33:56 AM
Love that Carnage!

If there's only ONE thing wrong with the world, by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 06:59:38 AM
I'd have to say it's The Mighty Molecule. What is the point in reading a story that you obviously care not a wit about and then taking a dump on the people who participated in this contest? These people actually CREATED something, and to you it's all shit. Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But I would suggest two things, Mighty, that might serve you well throughout your life: 1)Follow this rule--if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all; 2)Fuck off. Congratulations to the winner, and best regards to all those who gave it their best. And a tip of the hat to Quint for giving these contestants your time and efforts.
I liked the Kraven one. He could throw telephones at... by lost.rules	May 26th, 2007 07:02:44 AM
Spiderman. Russell Crowe Should've played Octavious, though. I liked Molina, but Crowe would've been perfect. Just perfect.
Mighty, I realize your little rant was directed by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 07:03:41 AM
at the film and its makers, but the headline to your post comes across as a direct insult to the people whose work you then complimented in your following post. It still begs the question, If you don't truly give a shit, why come in here in the first place? To prove you hated SM3? Check, got it. You're a real rebel with that opinion.
neil cook should do a spidey run by Evil Hobbit	May 26th, 2007 07:08:05 AM
all art in black and white, could be cool. Deserved winner as well, great stuff. Gratz.
oops.. by Evil Hobbit	May 26th, 2007 07:11:29 AM
no offense to Neil Cook's art but I meant McAdoo's. With lizard. edit buttons plz
Nice works, but... by Ramiel	May 26th, 2007 08:15:46 AM
...I suspect that you didn't receive my entry... Oh well, if someone is interested, it was the Scorpion http://tinyurl.com/25dhwt Congrats to the winner.
Ramiel, that's good work, but I think the Scorpion's by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 09:02:55 AM
other "stinger" probably intimidated Quint.

Jason Statham as Scorpion by kafka07	May 26th, 2007 09:34:46 AM
Looking at all the entries here makes me think of how well Spiderman 3 could have been if they had just kept vintage villians in the serires for now. Thanks for letting me dream.
Bronx, Probably you're right! by Ramiel	May 26th, 2007 10:08:13 AM
LOL, thanks anyway... ;)
Another contest I didn't enter. (didn't dig the prize) by Shermdawg	May 26th, 2007 10:24:43 AM
But here's what I was going for in the ten minutes or so I did contemplate entering... http://tinyurl.com/2f8xav I was gonna have The Bi Show as Rhino, and his look would be similar to Juggernaut in X3 minus th fake abs. The horn was gonna be a implant and with a scar around the forehead and up the side, sorta like baseball stitching. I was thinkig of some sort of wrist shields that were bulletproof. There was this, and Gwen Stefani as the Black Cat, but that character, I knew would be overdone, and there's not much in terms of look, that you need or would want to change. So there was no need to bother.
Kraven would never work by jimmy_009	May 26th, 2007 11:20:50 AM
It's too campy. The whole idea of a hunter running around in New York dressed like that would never fly on screen. The Vulture design looks like it should be credited to Brian Froud instead.
I think the Carnage one is the best also by jimmy_009	May 26th, 2007 11:22:02 AM
Nicely done. And Black Cat would actually work in a movie.
so all you had to do was draw a picture of carnage? by Cotton McKnight	May 26th, 2007 11:49:21 AM
huh.
just keep Raimy far away from the Hobbit by pipergates	May 26th, 2007 12:13:46 PM
Spidey 3 was one of the sloppiest and most disapointing movies i have seen in a while, i was surprised how bad it was. New Line, dont even think about it. nice carnage.
Vulture + Lizard in Spidey 4 by darrenspool	May 26th, 2007 12:16:08 PM
Fuck Carnage and Venom.
jude law isn't even suggested by the picture by Jubba	May 26th, 2007 12:24:25 PM
but whatever, i'm sure just suggesting he would fit the role is good enough to account for any differences in body size, etc.
Awesome Vulture with inspired casting. by jgroman1960	May 26th, 2007 01:22:51 PM
Very professional job on the vulture rendering. Great bit of casting as well. Not going with a mega-star, but optioning for a cult favorite. Its funny that Van Rant posted so close to when the winners were announced. Must have been checking the site every hour since the contest began.
No Paste Pot Pete? by Alonzo Mosely	May 26th, 2007 02:03:51 PM
Damn you people, I gave you the winning entry suggestion, and you went with people like Carnage and Kraven... Come on, what is more cinematic than a guy shooting his load of sticky gooey stuff at you?
Great entries by JacksParasites	May 26th, 2007 05:20:25 PM
First, quit bitching about Spiderman 3. We get it. You didn't like the film. Move on. Some of us thought it held up to the previous two installments. I agree with the winning entry here both because it looks awesome and because Carnage would be the best villain for Spidey 4. This way, you can reintroduce a revived Venom, first as Spidey's opponent again, and then have the two have to team up against Carnage. This way, you'll satisfy all the whiney bitches who just wanted to see 2 hours of Venom saying sentences with the "we" pronoun, and we can really spend a little more time exploring the nature of the black suit. All this is still contingent on tying these plots somehow to a universal theme that relates to what's happening in Peter Parker's life, like the previous 3 films have done beautifully. But I must admit, I'd never think to cast Jessica Beal as Black Cat, but I loved the look of this entry. Great job on the costume. It'd totally work for the movie. Also, Russell Crowe looked surprisingly awesome in that Kraven image. I also like meltedface's suggestion of Oded Fehr as Kraven. That one is dead-on, dude. I'm against the idea of them using characters like The Lizard, because I don't think the character would work for these films. The Vulture's not a terrible idea though only if they have a strong mortality theme running through the film. Maybe Aunt May is dying or something and Peter is desperate to find a way to save her. That could work. I liked the idea of Larry David as The Vulture, provided he was aged a little more. James Marsters could maybe play his younger self. Also, a friend suggested Bruce Campbell playing Mysterio and establishing that it's no accident he pops up as different character's in Spidey's life. I thought that was kind of a neat idea. But yeah, my top suggestion is to go the Carnage route while resurrecting Venom. And throw in Black Cat to also assist Spidey & Venom cause she's hot.
The first lizard design looked like a dinosaur by zohar18	May 26th, 2007 06:15:19 PM
But, I like this lizard design better b/c it has a shred of scientific plausibility. http://tinyurl.com/3xy6qu
The Mighty Molecule by christpunchers2007	May 26th, 2007 06:17:51 PM
Agreed on all points. SP3's legs arent that great.... seems like all the hype is dead now, and deservingly so.
For once I agree with your choice of first place by ATARI	May 26th, 2007 08:48:01 PM
Good going Quint.
The Lizard would make a good villain by veritasses	May 26th, 2007 08:53:58 PM
A deep character with a good back story. I sort of liked the early Spidey vs FF stories too.
Interesting meltedfacetoht,mine also included Kraven... by Smash Drama	May 27th, 2007 12:23:21 AM
...and yet Quint said he only received two entries with Kraven, and I sent mine in way before the deadline. Hmmm...oh well, my entry proposed Philip Seymour Hoffman as Mysterio, Stone Cold Steve Hunter as Kraven the Hunter and Steve Buscemi as the Ringmaster of Crime. Here's the link to my artwork: http://www.jackmagic.com/Spide r_Vills.jpg
Lizard & Kraven by Wcwlkr	May 27th, 2007 01:03:55 AM
I liked the Kraven one, maybe not Russel Crowe, but Kraven and the Lizard would be great! Plus I could see that tag line The Hunt Is On! The winner's did look great.
I saw the third Kraven by Quint	May 27th, 2007 02:16:35 AM
But I forgot about it because it was packaged in with the other villains and not it's own singular entry. Sorry for that. The Buscemi and Hoffman stood out to me more, I guess.
We're cool by Smash Drama	May 27th, 2007 07:51:31 AM
I like meltedfacetoht's Kraven the best, Oded Fehr is inspired casting. I did a combo drawing of three bad guys because Quint posted "specific character team-ups (Secret Six style) is fine, too." No hard feelings, I think all the posted choices are better than mine, I'm just happy that my e-mail is working!
What, no Bruce Campbell as Mysterio? by Squashua	May 27th, 2007 10:27:11 AM
It's a given. Heck, he doesn't even have to deny his prior appearances.
idea/question... by DocBosch	May 27th, 2007 05:59:45 PM
I'm not a big Spidey comic nerd, but I enjoy the character and the movies. Now, I never fully got Kraven, but I gather he's a hunter bent on capturing/killing Spider-Man, which seems rather odd for a movie. Would it be too much of a canon change if a large lizard is terrorizing NY, and Kraven is called in by the authorities to track him down, but in reality he's there with his own agenda to hunt Spider-Man. This would create two Buffy-esque issues, where Spidey would have to make sure Kraven doesn't get the Lizard, since he knows it's really Dr. Conners, and he would have have to deal with fighting and possibly killing Kraven, a skilled but superpower-less opponent.
I love that Vulture by EdRyder	May 27th, 2007 08:14:03 PM
He looks like a Skeksis.Good work everyone!
The Vulture sketch by Leopold Scotch	May 28th, 2007 07:49:57 AM

get away from the symbiote in the future movies. congrats to the winner and to the other artists who participated in the contest.
Overall looks like some good work... by tehgreekhammer	May 28th, 2007 10:26:52 PM
The best one though would have to be Russel Crowe as Kraven the Hunter. Great job by that dude. Although at this point I dont know if you could get Crowe to don a loincloth. So in his stead I suggest maybe King Leonidas hisself Gerard Butler. 2 bad Spidey 3 was such an abortion.
No submissions of the Owl? by StarBlitzer	May 29th, 2007 10:19:29 PM
well? WELL??
I suggested Lizard and Kraven by Abominable Snowcone	May 30th, 2007 01:31:39 PM
as the two baddies for 4 in one of the earlier Spidey TBs, and my story treatment was okay, IMO. Lizard wouldn't even be a "bad" guy per se--Dr. Connors would just be like a dangerous element on the loose. I like the Russell Crowe version of Kraven above, but I would suggest that dude who played Leonidas in 300.
The Carnage artwork is very sweet, but... by Cletus Van Damme	Jun 1st, 2007 01:45:17 PM

Michael Keaton as... by jorson2	Jun 1st, 2007 10:27:21 PM
The Vulture. First, I think it's clear that Raimi should be the director if another one is done but that the third Spider-Man kind of proves that he's a bit uncomfortable with less-human villains like Venom. Making The Vulture an actual, human-sized vulture would still be less than human and, worse, a betrayal of the comics. Even though he's an old man in the comics, I doubt an audience would accept that old of an actor in the part and realistically I doubt an actor of that age could pull it off. Middle-ground is someone in his fifties and Keaton (in spite or because of his "Batman" history) would be an interesting choice. He'd certainly bring pathos to it, a very entertaining cavalier and a lot of energy that, frankly, has been lacking in all the movie villains save for the still-flawed Goblin portrayal of Willem Dafoe.
Very Nice by CaptainTripps	Jun 12th, 2007 02:04:41 PM
Great job, all. Either Kraven or the Lizard are probably the best choices for the next movie though. I'd like to see them get back to focusing on one villain per film. Not a symbote though. Venom would probably be better used in a spin off movie rather than another Spidey sequel.
spiderman 3 shouldve made 500 million by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 14th, 2007 11:18:22 PM

But why didn't McAdoo’s (Lizard) piece fit with the contest rules?
