"He's suitable for the time in Peters life." Who, Mysterio? Why do you say he's suitable for the time in Peter's life?... as opposed to any of his villains?

He's young.
This is *this* Peters second solo movie.
Mysterio was one of the first villains to give him a good run - as was Vulture before him.

Chronologically speaking (aside from the avengers tie-in stuff) they're doing ok, and I think this might be what they're trying to do...to give the series a chance and not throw in too many of the "big" characters too quickly.

I just think that we don't need yet another green goblin in my mind...or at least if they did something like teased at/revealed him later that would be alright.

I'm just saying while not any longer as notable as some of the more elaborate and more contemporary characters, I still feel like they had a place in his history at this stage of his life/comic career no matter how the film has kind of spun certain things in different directions, and I like that.

Mysterio can, and has caused major trouble...I actually think that he has the potential to be one of the most interesting Spider-Man villains we've seen on screen, and I'm looking forward to what they do with him.

Though I do hope they don't pull the same thing and try to (while I admired the Vulture character more by the end of the first one) un-villain the villain. I will say that. They need some bad guys to just be bad guys.

Personally, with Venom I think they blew their load allover their pants with the introduction of Carnage...like everyone knows about Carnage, everyone wants to see that fight, but in my mind? WAY too soon.

Anyway, who'd you want to see next, Cheeb?

I think as a low level villain/lead in? Vermin.
It would show off some effects and give Peter the chance to have a really viscious scuffle and get hurt a bit, even if he won. Throw his confidence a bit when he's nursing injuries having been unavoidably slashed up by a character so fast and feral that his spider sense is almost pointless.

I've always also thought Chameleon could be great, even as a "pulling the strings" type character or a reveal of him having disguised himself as another villain throughout the film.
This could continue the storyline over, and allow for another "real" version of whichever character he'd been impersonating down the line.
So in essence we'd get chameleon causing havoc in everyones lives, and then two versions of a known character spread out into future films.

I'd like to see something of a "sinister six" or small team coming together kind of like the end of the first film implied...though I'd like to see some depth and complexity in the characters and definitely some infighting. While I think it'd be good to have villains as villains like I said...sometimes, the formula can be mixed up.

Kraven the hunter if he wasn't as ridiculous as his comics counterpart would be good...leading an elite team basically trained and technologically advanced enough to take on metahumans. Not sure if he'd work as a main villain, but definitely someone that could have been hired to trap/terminate Peter.

I would definitely like to see "paste pot pete" make his debut as something pretty comical. Just to see it.
I'd like to see "The SPOT" just to see a damn interesting fight.
I'd like to see BLACK CAT done right.
Spencer Smythe? Spider-Slayers could be a good side-story.

I could do without seeing the Rhino. In any form.

I dunno really. There's a lot of older/less relevant characters by todays standards that could be mined back out.
Sure, give us the big characters. The Goblins. Carnage. The clones. Bring back Doc Ock and Sandman at some point for another run, sure.

I'd like to even see NEWER threats than most people have mentioned, like how about the "other" vulture with the fucked up, acid spewing face...that could be a good surprise if Spider-Man was under the impression he was going after the original vulture.

Mister Negative could be...something to play with the "Peters life" plots. Not as a major villain though, too close to the game. Maybe to just change some things around for the better/worse in the background.

One word - Morlun.

So yeah, I'm not against the new kids. Not at all.
I just think that for this to happen? For Peter to finally grow up on film rather than remain the perpetual high school/college level? To become and be the amazing and complex hero that fights through truly horrible things that he has become over the last 50+ years?
They need to do this. They need to go for substance over spectacle, they need to parallel the timeline at least a little bit, and they need to not throw in the biggest and baddest threats straight away...they'll come.
