My rant about Venom
Since the Venom movie is coming out soon I decide to talk
about what I think of this character.
Eddie Brock/Venom is one of my favorite Spider-Man villains!
I like him for the same reason I like Bane and that's because of his
tragic past, his back story was so depressing that he considered committing suicide.
Despite all his problems, he does his best to overcome them. Unlike Bane, Eddie
has a reason to go after Spider-Man because he played a role in why his life is
a mess. This is why the symbiote bonds with Eddie because they both want revenge
on Spider-Man for different reasons.
Venom is also one of the most dangerous Spider-Man adversaries
not because he knows Peter is Spider-Man it’s because he’s immune to Spider-Man
spidey sense. Of course, I was annoyed with what was done with this character in
Spider-Man 3 however I don’t blame the director for it. I think he sabotaged this character on purpose to get back at Sony for not letting him make the
movie he wanted to make. I’m surprised to learn about how popular he is in the
90’s. He not only he appeared in other Marvel comics he has his own comic book
series, why!?! What about the other Spider-Man villains who became anti-heroes
like Sandman? ( Well sandman is too powerful to be a Spider-Man villain in my opinion,
so I kind of answer my own question.) I can’t believe that there are other
symbiote characters besides Carnage.
Due to Venom’s popularity, he has the same problem I have with
the Joker as far as him overshadowing the other baddie. Would
Spider-Man fans please explain to me why you like Carnage? All he does is cause
death and destruction with no rhyme or reason. As much as I want to see Eddie Brock/Venom
done right on screen I want the Sony or Marvel studios to wait
until his popularity dies out. It’s sad that this fan base doesn’t want to see
any other Spider-Man villain. I would like to see Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter
because both of them can give Spider-Man a run for his money.
As far as the Venom movie goes I have no interest in
watching that movie because the trailers didn’t sell me, I might check it out
when it comes out on Blu-Ray. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Venom movie if the
studios adapt the anti-venom story.
