When I first saw the trailer for Spider-Man 3 I was so excited, because the black suit/Venom was going to be in it. When

Question for you: Do you mean the three minutes where Peter had a different hairstyle, but was actually acting happy? Or the entire rest of the trilogy where he seemed like he was skating on the razor's edge of suicidal depression? Because I find it ridiculous that people label the former "emo" while ignoring the fact that the later is FAR more emo.

Yeah, Spider-man only had about 20 minutes of screentime in Civil War. It would have been a good movie even if he hadn't been included.
Its amazing how people hang around message boards of movies they dont like -

I actually think the film would benefit
without
Spider-Man in it. For me, especially after watching a second time, I thought the pace of the narrative was put on hold for that whole section. And while yes, he does bring some fun to the airport scene, he jolts the film and adds on unnecessary bulk just to squeeze him in there for future reference. -

Sandman was PERFECT (I will swear before a jury that Sandman's origin scene in the sand chamber is one of the single most powerful moments in ANY superhero film, and the greatest introduction to a villain I've ever seen) and should have been the films primary villain, with the exception of the symbiote/black suit Spidey. Cast a different actor for Eddie Brock and postpone Venom's transformation to the final moments of the film, or in the post-credits.
I loved the black suit for the most part, except for "emo" Peter. He should have been less of a gothic dancer and more of an angry roid-rager.
The Harry subplot was fine, but the costume and "New Goblin" title were not. If you have to make Harry a heavy-hitter in this film, then he should take up the Green Goblin mantle and give Peter some serious PTSD flashbacks from Norman, possibly even fueled by the Black Suit warping his mind. Hell, tweak the source material a bit and make Harry the Hobgoblin. Anything but that New Goblin ski suit.
And on the subject of Sandmanwhy the hell would he be tied to uncle ben's murder? He doesn't have to be. Sandman is a large enough threat anyway, and the black suit would provide the psychological stimulation for Peter to nearly kill him. This would not only add weight to the "it's the suit, not me" subplot, and it doesn't crap all over Ben's murder.
Implement these changes, and you've got yourself a stew, baby.
Then after the instant success of this film and the greenlight of Spider-Man 4, introduce Venom.
