I knew you had no valid argument. Thanks for validating my assumption. You could've said money btw. That's always the right answer.

Venom was surprisingly solid. The action was fucked and super messy and Sony continues to be fucking idiots who put the last scene of their movie in trailers but the interactions between Hardy and Venom were all fantastic. I don't care if they have to do Infinity Gauntlet shenanigans, I want Hardy in the MCU interacting with everyone else.
I'll be seeing A Star is Born during the week. I have been binge watching season 5 of American Horror Story though so I am hoping Gaga's performance doesn't fuck with me too much.

The lead in Venom is a famous actor who turns into a giant monster man. The lead in Fantastic Four was a pretty unknown nerdy looking guy playing a supernerd in a IP already famed for shitty movies
When you read what people liked about Venom, and that includes Tom Hardy and the director, they should absolutely lean into the weird and crazy parts of the movie. Increasingly it seems like that's the movie Hardy and the director were trying to make, as they were citing All of Me and so on, but maybe there were disagreements with Avi Arad or w/e.
Venom 2:
This is just what I want.
The soundtrack should be this or something similiar:
Those coupled with more Venom+Eddie moments and an R rating would be perfection.
The crazier thing to me is audiences seem to think Venom is a solid movie. Doesn't sound like an outright disaster. I'm starting to believe the holds will be better than expected.
I might go see it for myself next week now since the feedback has been ok.
I saw it yesterday and I share the sentiment: there are many souls in Venom; it's not impossible or unthinkable to do a good film with a sprinkle of several genres, but the execution/tone were lacking, except when the script and the team (Hardy on the lead role) embraced the impredictable, schizophrenic nature of the character. In an ideal world, I think they should have taken a few extra notes from Legion (FX, Noah Hawley), it's regrettable they didn't as it provides a really good example for others to emulate.
What if the movie had started with Venom and Brock already together, focusing on his mental issues, instead of taking us for the umpteenth time through the same old road, baptised as "Character Introduction 101". There was room to be bolder, I hope they are in the sequel. By the way, I read on Deadline that Hardy was the one who wanted more comedy and the director preferred a serious approach. Perhaps it was a misinterpretation by the article's author.
Venom is probably the high point of a potential Spider-Man universe. No one is showing up to see Silver & Black or Morbius.
The amount of people that think Sony is gonna pull Spidey out of the MCU and into a universe where no other character can top what Venom did here is...well, lol.

Which is why all this talk about "Sony's proved they can do it! Why wouldn't they pull Spidey now?" is absolutely asinine.
No other Spidey character is topping that. And if Sony reboots the character again, I have trouble believing audiences respond well.
Spider-Man's not leaving the MCU. Worst thing about this is Venom ain't gonna be an MCU character for a long time, if ever.
But renewing the deal is still the best play going forward, for both parties.
"80% were going because they were Tom Hardy fans"
Even though the movie's quality is questionable, glad to see Tom Hardy is a big draw.

Maybe the transfer to Agent Venom? Hardys deal is only 3 movies, I doubt he will even want to commit to more than that
This seems a little unfair. Not everyone checks reviews. They just saw a Venom movie was coming out and wanted to see it. It's not like some Transformers situation where we're on the fourth terrible movie in the franchise and people should know by now.
Hello, did someone want international numbers for international smash hit Venom?
Clearly this is Trump's South Korea.
Mexico who also this weekend confirmed Kavanaugh and in no way am I being a shit when (even ironically) I use this as a comparison to a non MCU film doing well.
Oh my, I think this is 100% proof that Amy Pascal needs to resign and Sony will sell the Spidey-rights to Paramount.
Sorry bud, I'm taken.
I'll make it easy for you since you can't walk away from a conversation when you say are. I'm done. Enjoy your non factual optimistic and wishful view of the situation.
I watched a screening of this on Wednesday. It was good and I think it was fun. Jeff Bridges came out after for Q&A also.
We're not doing this. I stopped arguing with you because you put words in my mouth and you are not arguing in good faith. You are acting very childish over an argument about Spider-Man movie rights and I have no reason to go back and forth with someone who has the type of attitude you have.
Enough.
Would you show up to Venom 2 where Sable shows up to hunt Venom and Carnage, leading to Venom and Sable teaming up?
Introduce a character in the sequel, then give them their own movie.
I wonder if Miguel is going to be in Spider-Verse?
I think Morbius will do fine, on a smaller budget.
My guess is sequel bait at the end.
... I'll take it.
I like you.
Why are your standards so low? I mean why push the blame off on everyone else?
imagine not seeing the irony in roasting a bunch of people for seeing a bad movie that you also saw in theatres
