1. Don't involve so many subplots.
 * Agreed, it was SONY getting overzealous 'twice!' that resulted in both SM3 and TASM2 being less than stellar.

2. Pace the future films better better.
 * Agreed, if the Directors are left to do their own thing, then it comes out quite decent. I haven't seen the Webb films, however, I think he needs to work on directing the actors better than the action.

3. Make Sinister Six a Spider-Man movie, not a spin-off and do it wayyy later in the universe!
 * Agreed, I still don't understand SONY even attempting this. While the characters are known to comicbook fans, those not-in-the-know will be hesitant to see a movie full of Spider-Man villains. What makes this different from DC's Suicide Squad is that the characters can actually stand on their own. They may have run/crossover into Batman a few times, but for the most part they are original and have their own stories. The Sinister Six are attached to Spider-Man by the freakin' liver! They're his whole roster.

4. Don't make Venom until after The Amazing Spider-Man 3.\
 * Agreed, but at least tease the idea. I am not sure why SONY is pushing Venom so early... twice. It isn't a 'punch-face-put in jail-villain', it is a very drawn out character whose doesn't just want Spider-Man dead; it just wants Spider-Man for itself.

5. Include Eddie Brock and J.J Jameson in TASM 3.
 * Indifferent, neither seem to be important to the TASM universe, so I would hold off till a fourth movie. Well, at least with even making attempts at giving them characterization so soon after Gwen's death.

6. Less focus on OsCorp.
 * Disagree, having a central 'big-bad' is what gives TASM its legs. And the fact that OsCorp is so prominent within the city it makes things more personal. Having OsCorp being a Pandora box is what will make the Sinister Six plot work. The movie needs its own story and this is the way to go.

7. Smaller cast.
 * Agreed, but as you know this would mean lessening Eddie and J.J. The focus should be Peter and Aunt May for now.

8. Keep Green Goblin as the main villain for the next film.
 * Agreed, only because it would carry from the last film. As of now he doesn't have much reason to exist due to how grotesque his transformation is. It's not like Harry can go back to being Harry. So who is OsCorp left to?

9. Return to the tone of the first Amazing Spider-Man film, because it's just so awesome.
 * Indifferent, since I never saw the first. From the clips I viewed, I really don't enjoy 'jerk-Spider-Man's' antics. If anything, he should now be getting more heroic and less snarky. Spider-Man uses humor out of a nervous tic, not because he's an arrogant guy.

10. If you want to introduce characters from the comics, make them cameos like what you did with Alistair Smythe (I actually really liked that cameo), then bring them into the SMALL list of supporting characters in later films.
 * Agreed, cameos are good, nothing too cheesy like "Hey, Pete, remember me from such-n-such". This will have to be treated as if the audience has zero idea who they are, so a name and a standout physical appearance will be crucial.

11. Make sure the Peter Parker and Spider-Man storylines can crossover at the beginning of the film and then go back to them in the ending of the film, so there can be a relationship between Peter and the antagonist in the beginning, then the relationship between Spider-Man and the antagonist is made in the middle, then the two relationships crossover at the end of the film (That's what they did with Spider-Man 2, between Peter/Spider-Man and Otto Octavius).
 * Agreed, this wasn't handled very well in TASM2, even though it tried. Though from what I hear people did like that Max got some form of POV before running into Spider-Man. A POV from a villain side might be what TASM universe needs, especially given the way Harry was introduced.

12. If all else fails, just give him back to Marvel.
 * Agreed, LoL.
