Breh, raimi wanted the sandman character.
The sandman arc was just as horrible as the venom arc. I blame raimi just as much.
You can try to blame the studio but that movie would have been ass still with just the sandman and green goblin arcs.
The dancing scene and the extreme campiness is pure raimi. Thats pretty much his signature style.
As for amazing spider man, a huge chunk of that movie was what raimi wanted to do for spider man 4. Same villain and sub plots.
Nothing wrong with the Sandman plot...the problem was all the different storylines and shyt were thrown together...Venom shyt was embarrassing
"Eh imma good guy looking out for my daughter lets stop fighting"
But Raimi needs to go back to his indie roots and make something fresh...that Oz shyt was


breh, it wasn't Raimi...read up on the movie's production...the producers were so heavily involved that they MADE Raimi add those extra characters and plot points...In fact, you can tell that Venom was a last minute add on; they had high hopes for commercialized money making, so they butted heads with Raimi the whole time during production, adding things he did not want
