Jackie Chan did it better

About new villains. Literally doesn't pay to make new villains for ASM. Why put all the effort into creating a new character and then never see a return when they go on to being in movies/games/TV shows.

Or do like James Tynion...create a bunch of OC's that almost immediately hit the creative ceiling!

Then we are doomed to get a new Kraven arc every two years.

Does anyone really care about the Return of the goblin. Just call the story that departure of Paul and you'll get some sales

[Captain Craig]

I really do wish more Spider-Man villains would legit turn their lives around. It sucks having redemption stories that don't actually end with redemption. Sandman was an Avenger once, folks! An AVENGER!

At least Venom's doing alright these days (knock on wood).

Venom as someone noted. Sandman and Rhinos status was mentioned as...inconclusive right now.
However, Rocket Racer and Prowler are both still on the reform train. Morbius is on the side of good for awhile now.

Does Puma count? I guess he was always more of a borderline character, like Black Cat has been for decades now.
Will Normans discussion with Jack O'Lantern lead to that version of the character going good/normal? I don't even recall who was under the gourd now.
What is Will O'Wisp's status? He even had his own short lived ongoing a decade back.

I wonder why it's "Return of the Goblin" and not "Return of the Green Goblin". They're promising some surprises, and Queen Goblin is still a thing. I feel like Harry might even show up in some form.

[Ursalink]

I just thought about something.

How about if the Goblin returns, but NOT bonding with Norman? I mean, just like it happened with Superior Spider-Man, how about if the Goblin's sins find a new vessel on a clone of Norman Osborn? I mean, I highly doubt the essence of the Goblin would be interested to be bonded with Norman after having a taste of being "its own".

Worth noting, Phil Urich is still around in a state of living death. Maybe he’d be perfect for the sins to latch onto.
