Poll In hindsight, do you agree with Sony’s decision to axe Spider-Man 4 and reboot the series? (23 votes)
Also a little OT but not really, here’s some info you probably already know about Raimi’s vision for Spider-Man 3 before Sony stepped in and ruined it.
“
Venom wasn't originally supposed to appear in Spider-Man 3, and Sam Raimi wanted to use that time to set up Vulture instead. Sony's original Spider-Man trilogy was revolutionary and ground-breaking for its time, and much of that success is owed to Raimi's storytelling. Unfortunately, it all fell apart with Spider-Man 3. The film was bloated with villains - Thomas Haden Church's Sandman, James Franco's Goblin, and Topher Grace's Venom - but as it turns out, there were only supposed to be two main villains and one villain that would be set up for Spider-Man 4.”

"...Although, it didn’t really turn out that way later on. Because, when they first pitched me the movie, Sandman and, of course, Franco’s transformation to the Goblin, we were who he [Spider-Man] had to deal with in the picture and Venom wasn’t even in it. They introduced at the very beginning the character of Vulture, but he was only in it briefly and then at the very end of that picture they were gonna bring The Vulture back just to sorta set the stage that he was probably going to be the main villain in Spider-Man 4. But then, obviously all of that stuff sort of derailed. Well, not so much derailed, but took a different railway."
