Why would anybody want to include Sandman?
Two reasons:
1) Raimi grew up (or at least claims he did) reading the original Lee/Ditko/Romita Spider-Man of which Sandman was a part. Venom didn't come along until the '90s. If he'd been allowed to do Spider-Man 4 (and Sony hadn't fucked with Spider-Man 3) he would have done the Vulture with, I think, John Malkovich as Vulture
2) Sandman had the better effects and was more appropriately cast. The birth of Sandman is probably the best scene in that entire movie. It was clear that Sandman was the one Raimi had the ideas for. By comparison the Venom effects were shit and Topher Grace was horribly miscast as Eddie Brock/Venom.

Sandman was the chosen villain because of Raimi's desire to cast a film where a sandperson is evil. The truth must be known!

He wasn't really "evil". He's more of a tragic sort of guy similar to Doc Ock in the previous movie (which I guess is another hint at him being the chosen villain).

Venom definitely felt more out of place and could've benefitted from only really appearing in a Spider-Man 4.

Whoever thought they needed two villains in the movie with Venom is a retard. We'll never get an actual good movie about Venom and certainly not Carnage.
MCU Carnage could provide some lulz if they decide to make ihm a Trump-suporting MRA racist.

Why would anybody want to include Sandman? Come on, Carnage has got potential. Make it a hard R-rated movie and be a total slaughterfest.
Thats exactly why, they make movies for 12 year olds, can only use tame villians.

Friendly reminder that the vampire bloke from that 90s Spider-Man cartoon wasn't actually allowed to bite anyone, and I think they weren't even allowed to say "blood".

Yeah but the '90s show had a ridiculous amount of censorship generally. Spider-Man wasn't even allowed to punch anyone. Compare this with the 2003 MTV series which had copious amounts of alcohol and implied sex

You'll get your Carnage when the Venom movie hits. Carnage is the villain in it. Rumor right now is that he's being played by Woody Harrelson.
