Still disappointed that best Venom likely won't be the MCU's Venom. :(
I quite like Hardy's Venom (even if i dont like the second movie) so that was a disappointment for me as well
Especially considering they had his character say all his goodbyes at the end of venom2 and wrapped up any threads as if he was to never return
weird to do that for no purpose but then again, it's Sony, look at what they did with vulture. probably
was a setup for him to never return and then kevin shot them down.
(but maybe brock's universe hopping isnt done yet. morbius is apparently a world with a spiderman and vulture is there too, maybe brock landed there instead of his home universe when he got kicked out of the MCU.)
I'd like if we could see Hardy as the MCU variant of Brock, perhaps a less benevolent version of the man.
It would be fun to see Hardy play the character two opposing ways (the version we've already seen, and a more wicked version). At least
at first. Then after MCU Eddie suffers his fall from grace, he could start arcing toward a more Sony-like Eddie, having been knocked down a peg and learning some lessons after turmoil involving Spider-man.
So the end result is like, at the core they're still similar guys, but the MCU version became a hotshot asshole and went down a bad path for a time, while the sony version did not prosper from his unethical behavior and immediately learned his lesson. No Annie to keep him humble perhaps, the Sony version did some dishonest stuff too early on that he got called out on. Maybe MCU Eddie didn't suffer repercussions from dishonesty like that, and only ramped it up more to great benefit. Until peter/spider-man finally causes repercussions and shit comes crashing down for mcu eddie, in the long term effectively landing him in similar circumstances to sony eddie.
Although right now I'd sooner assume that the MCU will do the black suit storyline alone and then just never follow it up with brock (but I'd like to be wrong)
