Raimi: "Fine, fine... I'll add Venom..."
Marvel: "Yay! Let's go make another Fantastic Four movie!!!"

Paraphrased, but basically Marvel forced Venom on Raimi. He didn't want Venom, but was told that he had to include the character. One mess of a script later and viola! Spider-Man 3!

I fear that "Spider-Man 4" will follow in the footsteps of another horrible #4 super-hero film: "Batman and Robin"

Thats totally not true. Raimi did an interview after the 1st spider man where every fan was asking about if Venom would be in the second one. He said that he and his brother were huge venom fans and wanted to do it, but had to come up with the right story. Marvel didnt force it on anyone.
