McFarlane Doesn't Think Venom Movie will Work

I think its tough but it can be done, as long as it disassociates with venom and doesnt try any forced cliche' plot devices to make us feel sorry for eddie brock or show any sort of big redemption. A venom - carnage stand off from the perspective of an outsider could be awesome but its all pretty hard without spider-man. A Spider-man, Venom, Carnage 3 way is my movie wish but it wont happen as carnage is too homicidal for 12a audiences (or the general consensus seems to be) and venom was massacred and killed off already on film already. Im interested how the venom comic spin off depicted eddie and venom and whether it made him an anti-hero or showed him to be still quite villainous etc.

If they 86 Eric Forman and make venom look like he's supposed to then it might be worth seeing on dvd or something but I don't think I'd go to the theater to see it. McFarlane needs to make a GOOD Spawn movie. I'd go see that. Spidy 3 was just such a let down that I really don't care about that series anymore.

There are many aspects to this situation.A movie about Venom could work IF they portrayed him as he is in the comics,a lethal protector.Venom truly believes that he is a good guy,but he goes about protecting innocents,which he holds in the highest regards,in a much different way than other superheroes.He will kill to protect innocent people,that's where the big difference is.But his madness is all tied to Spider-Man.It was Spider-Man whom he believes destroyed his career as a journalist,and the symbiote hates him because he tried to kill it.Once Spider-Man tricked him into believing he had killed him,therefore the madness was over.I would like to see a Venom movie because he is such a complex character.They didn't do him any justice in the movie with only about 20 minutes of him.And rot_in_piss was right,they didn't really show him die.That symbiote has the ability to cloak itself and Eddie.Many times Spider-Man has thought the symbiote was dead and it keeps showing up.But then again,the Sandman,at one point in the comics,was a good guy.But most of his life he was a very bad guy.Doc Ock too was also a bad guy.He wasn't being controlled by the arms.And the Green Goblin is Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin,There was never a split personality there.Osborn always knew what he was doing as the Goblin.No wonder these writers didn't get paid well if they were going to chop up stories like this.I don't think they deserve any more money than what they made before.

i think that thats a good idea, to have venom go up against carnage. however, i do think that carnage would be a pretty cool villain in a spiderman movie. maybe they could have his background story tie into the 3rd spiderman movie. for example, the symbiote survives the battle with spiderman in the 3rd movie, but lives only a little longer, and ends up spawning the carnage symbiote.

If the only problem is the world accepting a real anti-hero, Watchmen might fix that. If the Watchmen movie provides the world with a true gritty, darkened view of the "hero" and succeeds, then Venom should be cake.

we agree! venom has his own personalitys. we can face edward nortan or robert downy. the best movies always have confusion in each characters perception. we will take on all.
