That's true. Although it's kind of the foundation you build on. The villian is always the opposite number of the hero. It's what makes it work. The Hero/Villian Hero/Anti-hero dychotomy is what you build the world/universe from.
Take Superman.. Superman is a person set to earth gaining powers beyond those of mortal men, being taught the right and moral way by his working class Kansas farming family he uses those powers to be a hero and save lives.
Then you have his opposite number Lex Luthor. ordinary person, perhaps slightly smarter than the average man, raised in a life of privledge and learns that power is all that matters and that if you are not a "winner" you are a loser. Becoming the most powerful man in Metropolis, Lex thinks he has it all, until Superman arrives and proves that no matter what Lex has he'll always just be mortal. He spends all of his time and genius chasing afer Superman because he represents something Lex cannot be, and thus Lex feels jealousy and needs to destroy it if he can't overcome it.
With Hulk, I admit I don't know much about the plot other than it's really just going to hit the ground running and just assume you know your Hulk story from the last movie (this isn't a sequel, just taking advantage of the fact everyone knows the hulks story by now)
I think they "I'll get him back" bit was not so much a "I'll get my revenge" but trying to get Bruce Banner back into Government custody. Because if you look at the trailer more, he's on the run from the feds and does have that scene on a military chopper where he kisses Liv Tyler goodbye and drops from the helicopter and turns into the hulk by the time he hits the ground.
I'll admit, Spider-man 3 DID go a little overboard with the Venom storybranch. But to be fair, Rami just shoe-horned it in because Avi Arad wanted him in the movie, and Rami never liked him.
To his credit though, he DID get the origin spot on from the book, just removing some of the Secret Wars stuff, (which would have be a move series unto itself to understand) and some of the more trippy/over the top violent McFarlene stuff.
I would like to see a Venom movie though. Played straight horror style.
I do hope the Iron Man vs Hulk bit has a good piece to it, I do fear it's going to be a throwaway thing though. Where Tony shows up, Hulk smacks him into next week, and then that's the end of that. :p
