This makes a certain amount of sense. The best villains are natural reciprocals of the heroes they battle: The Joker and Batman are two halves of the same coin, cursed to battle forever, and Lex Luthor represents the last vestige of human ingenuity trying to take out the all-powerful alien who reminds us of our own weaknesses. But how do you play off a Queens teenager? None of them will ever make you consider rooting against Peter Parker. But a few have their moments.
Grace is strangely smug before he turns into Venom, and that smugness makes it difficult to find him too intimidating after he does. We do not disagree. The idea of Paul Giamatti as a supervillain has undeniable appeal, but his Rhino, who appears at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 mostly to show that Peter Parker is going to continue fighting crime after the loss of his beloved Gwen Stacy, never gets to do much.
He was supposed to return as the primary bad guy in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 … but you know how that turned out. And DeHaan brought his patented tortured sensitivity to the role, giving us a Green Goblin driven by grief and rage, which sets up an emotional showdown between him and Spider-Man. Ifans may have seemed like an strange choice to play the head villain in a big reboot of a massive superhero franchise — he may have been the only actor less known than Andrew Garfield at the time — but the unfortunate thing is how defanged he is.
An adventurous actor with his own fidgety energy, he never gets to unleash much of it in this clunky world-builder; you can see him trying to bring something more to the role, without a lot of success.
Also, can we just say that the Lizard is pretty gross? And not in a good way?

Peter Parker's final reckoning with Kindred is at hand, and it's already been teased that there's more to the demonic villain and agent of Mephisto than his just being the version of Harry that was dead prior to the One More Da y retcon.
Furthermore, due to recent previews hinting at Parker's death ahead of his clone Ben Reilley taking over as Spider-Man , it certainly seems as though the final issues of Nick Spencer's Amazing Spider-Man won't be issues to be missed.
In any case, while Mephisto is a scourge and major villain in the Marvel Universe at large, he's very much a major foe for Spider-Man in particular and perhaps his greatest considering all the suffering and pain he's caused him over the years. Furthermore, all the damage brought on by Norman and Harry Osborn should be attributed to Mephisto as well, seeing as how he created them both.
Despite the likeliness that it will end with his death, here's hoping Spider-Man can finally see Mephisto receiving some justice as Nick Spencer's run comes to a close in just a few issues.
