Yeah.
Movie might be good, but its still a dumb move because you basically locked this venom out of the MCU.

Has any comic book villian solo movie actually been good? Having a villian but not a hero seems like its taking away what makes the villian good.
They aren't doing a comic book villain movie. They're doing a "man gets alien powers and is hunted by evil corporation" movie. It's basically going to be Upgrade with a parasite instead of an AI.

My thoughts are unchanged from the end of the last trailer: this is a highly stylized design that was never, ever meant to be rendered in photorealistic CG, and it just looks silly in that medium. Which I guess could still work, but only if this isn't played as straight as the trailers suggest it will be.
Why do you feel that way? Besides the fact that his grin goes all the way up to his fuckin eyes I think the design is fine
Kinda looks like one of those cute spiders.

But yeah, much improved over the look of the eyes in the trailer.
no such fuckin thing

but I agree about the eyes
Keep hearing rumors that Peter Parker is in it, but not Spider-Man. Still odd.
when was the last time you heard that rumor?

Heh, it's always Schnepp on the Collider Heroes show. He's so adamant about it and talks like he knows for sure cause he knows people working on the movie. But again, he could be totally wrong (which he does say to his credit).
I think the best thing for this movie is to imply someway somehow that it takes place after Infinity War. I am assuming Av4 will take place on Earth, and during the confusion and chaos, the symbiote ship crash lands there and Riz Ahmed finds it. And in between Venom and Av4 will be Spiderman Far From Home and during that movie the symbiote should bond with him.

Otherwise, I'll be way less interested if this movie has 0 connection to the MCU.

I just don't get it. Even if you do Agent Venom or whatever. The thing has to bond with Spider-Man so it gets Spider-Man type powers, the web, the spider-sense etc. If this is a world with no spider-man it makes no sense unless the alien bonds with a spider first

It doesn't have Spider-Man type powers, it's a sentient alien with bio-tentacles. Symbiotes don't need Spider-Man to be unstoppable killing machines with powers. It's just an alien monster

That's much better.


I do not want to see an adult Venom stalking a God damn kid because he lost his job. Either adult Spider Man and Venom or don't do it

I know they can do teen Venom but that version sucks ass.
They're probably use an Ultimate-style version of their relationship rather than the one you're talking about

Ironic you used the Ultimate Venom to illustrate this point since he was a science experiment and not an alien, right? Something Peter's dad was working on to cure cancer?

Not that I disagree with you! Marvel retconned it so that all symbiotes have those eyes a while ago IIRC, so he doesn't "need" Spider-Man for them.

Now, if he still has the white spider on his chest and/or back, then someone at Sony fucked up.
