Not sure, as I've never seen him in such a role to judge his performance. Based on past roles (only), I think it's a lousy choice. But unfortunately, I have to admit when I heard Molina was cast as Octavius, I had some of the same fears. Not as much as I do with Grace, but some of the same fears. One big factor going against Grace IMO is, he is a completely different physical type from the Brock most fans know of. Molina, physically, fit the role, and acting wise, had more roles prior to Octavius than Grace has had, to make one less skittish about the casting.
I would love to be "surprised" by an out of the blue casting announcement for Brock, say after January, and at the same time find out Grace is someone else. I would love it (assuming they nailed it with who was cast as Brock)... but I doubt it, unfortunately. I think (fear??) Grace will be Brock.

The idea of Topher Brock does not sit with me. Eddie Brock is supposed to be big, muscular. Now I don't expect a terminator look-alike for the movie, but now we're just supposed to accept a string bean to be Eddie Brock? Curse it, this makes me mad. Oh sure, you can say that he'll buff up for SM-3, but somehow I don't see it.
I'm thrilled that Venom will either be in, or at least set up in SM-3, but im not thrilled that little emaciated freak will be Venom.

It's more about intensity (or lack of it) than body size for me, that has me worried about the choice of Topher as Brock... if that is in fact... the choice. ;)
LarryLegend
10-27-2005, 03:33 PM
Yeah, while he doesn't have the physical look for Brock I'm more concerned with his ability to create the character. Have a hard time seeing him as anything but a smartass and wonder if audiences will struggle with this too.

I don't Topher Brock will have the intensity, I can't imagine hearing "I WILL KILL YOU PARKER!" in Tophers prepubescent voice.

Topher Brock
:confused: Is that Topher Grace and Eddie Brock's love child?........sorry I couldn't resist:O
Back on topic, I agree with Slag and Legend about the intensity factor. He has definitely proven he can be a smartass and is good with one liners. I still wish he was cast as Peter but thats another discussion. Maybe he has the versatility to pull it off. Hopefully he will prove his doubters wrong if he is indeed cast as Brock. Jumping way off topic for a second, I used to have the same feelings about Jamie Foxx. I always pictured him as a comedian and goofball, like in "In Living Color" and "Booty Call". But he definitely showed he had versatility in his roles in "Collateral" and "Ray", which I believe he won an Oscar for and the previews for "Jarhead" look pretty good.

Have you played Ultimate Spidey? The more I play the game the more I convince myself they'll do the that version of Venom. I love the way Venom moves in the game and how he looks (ish - should be black) and especially the voice which is pretty 'alien' like the fox version. Eddie in the game is just an empty shell who fills screen time while we wait for Venoms next appearance. He's just a pretty boy with a face full of metal **** and bad coloured hair. About as intense as 'Villain Watch' and all their Bull****.
Apparently Villain Watch bumped into Mulder and Scully looking for 'the truth'. They're still looking!!!!!!!!! They found plenty of bull**** though. :venom:

I don't know if it so much is a travesty as it is a different take on the character. I think they will have him as the dark version of Spiderman. A mirror of his powers and abilities. But Brock will most likely be the polar opposite of Peter. The bad guys bad guy.
I guess what I'm saying is if they are going to have somone like grace play brock, then give us a totally unique view on him. Don't try to copy him from the comic at all.
Again Ock in 2 was a completely unique take on the character. If they do that kind of thing again and do it well it won't be as bad as people are thinking.

I've just finished to USm game and I conclude the following:-
"If Venom is as good in the film as he is in the game I personally will be very happy. As long as the Spidey>Venom link is established and Venoms powers are similair to the game I think he will look and move like nothing else we've seen in a Superhero film. He even gets the white chest spidey which is a token of him controlling the suit AND the link to Spidey's DNA. Hell, I'm a classic Brock fan throu and thru but I'm pr4epared to be open minded and let them update the origin to be more like USM. It makes more sense than an alien anyway PLUS it might get the films to touch on the fact that Peter was an orphaned child and his parents and Brocks were linked.
If you go with the game Topher makes the perfect Eddie Brock. The size thing is way more than a simple bulk up job so it's a CG / Ben Grimm suit job me thinks. Plus Topher can be revealed when the head rolls back. Very cool.
Venom looks awesome in the final scene when he roars and the 'tendril' things are shooting out of his back - FANTASTIC.

didnt look like this ahs been addressed much. everybody is always talking about his tounge or teeth or saliva.drool but no one i saw has mentioned what voice they will give him. i like that in the animatedd series they gave him a kind of dual voice sound with almost a demonic tone to it. know what im talking about? If you watched the fox animated spiderman series u would. anyone have any idea what route they will go with when they finally put venom in a movie? even if it is SM3, SM4 or some other movie entirely?
Jason Martell
11-07-2005, 01:47 AM
He should roar like a monster/dinosaur, and hiss kind of like those Aliens from the movie Aliens, and talk kind of like a cross between a snake and deep roar. I'm not explaining it right. It's almost impossible to explain how somebody's voice should be.
Toren
11-07-2005, 01:58 AM
Have it switch between demonic, human, and a mix of the two... for times when Venom, Eddie, or there is a battle for control of the body (respectively).
Jason Martell
11-07-2005, 02:00 AM
Yeah I want it demonic, but not robotic like it was in the cartoon. And I don't want it like it was in the Spider-Man game for Nintendo 64 either.
psycho
11-07-2005, 06:19 AM
In Marvel Knights Spider-man: The last stand, the description of his voce is that he has a double sound voice, something like two people yelling into a loudspeaker.
I think that might sound pretty cool.
Dr.Dude
11-07-2005, 06:24 AM
There's a lot of different tones of voice I can see working, but mainly I just want to see his voice "echo" as if two voices are speaking at the same time. Maybe have one of these voices be a hissing, slithering, "snake-like" voice while the other is more human-sounding, but since both are combined you would only notice the difference if you payed attention closely.... to follow through on that, depending on Venom's mood one voice could subtly become stronger and more noticeable than the other; for example, if he got really pissed off the snake-like, alien voice would sort of take over, whereas if he showed any vulnerability the human one would be heard more easily.

Going through 72 pages of back-thread is much, so I'm not sure if this tidbit of Spiderman (movie 1) has been addressed: But wasn't Eddie introduced then?
According to the imdb:
R.C. Everbeck Spider-Man (2002) (uncredited) .... Eddie Brock
Too bad Raimi didn't recast Everbeck back into the role than to get a new actor (unless that's secretly in the works), despite what he has said about the Venom chr in the past. Unless his scene got cut, that's one massive continuity error from the first movie to third. All I have to say is, Bad Raimi. No cookie for you!

peter HAS to use the suit because otherwise venom woudnt know anything about peters secrets about who he is and who he loves. Im just curious what the suit will look like and same with venom. Not sure where they will go with the origin though.

This is the exact reason why Venom wouldnt work in this movie. No venom equals good movie. Sandman and a possible Goblin are good enough. I have been waiting for the Goblin myself since the cliffhanger on spider-man 2.

I apologize for my previous spelling mistakes as i have to use quick reply because the normal reply won't work for me, therefore i can't use the edit feature. And now for an english class:-
In cockney rhyming slang, butchers means look. Butcher = butcher's hook = look.
Sometimes it's referred to as Pat, after a character from Eastenders called Pat Butcher
I think this movie will be like 3 hours long, and we could have Venom in this movie, and make it work. Look at Batman Begins we had Batman, ScareCrow, Ras Ah Guhl, and that Malconi guy or whatever his name is.There's a difference, they were all connected. Ra's Al Ghul is disguising his plot with drug shipments that contain the special toxin requited for the Scarecrow's fear gas, in turn Scarecrow is putting the liquid form of his gas in the water supply. To get the drugs to Gotham safely, the Scarecrow hires Falcone's men to retrieve the drug shipment.
How will the Goblin, who wants to kill Peter because he believes Spider-Man killed his father, Sandman, whose purpouses are unknown but if you go by the comics all he wants is money, and Venom who hates Parker because he was outclassed by him as brock and was rejected by him as the symbiote, fit together?

I agree. Good point! Venom should almost be the last villian to be used in the Spidey movies.
He is like the ultimate adversary and a good way to end the series with a bang. I know you still have to resolve the Harry Osborn/Goblins storyline and they should do that in 3, but after Venom is used I just don't see who else they could get to face Spidey that could approach him on an epic level.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have 6 Spidey movies. And I do think the Lizard, Electro, and Mysterio could provide some fireworks. I just want Venom for Spidey's final battle.

Exactly. That's why you can't have Venom for 3. Introduce Eddie, maybe, and the symbiote, possibly. But Venom needs his own movie. The only way I could handle a villain superseding Venom is if it's LOTS of villains. Sinister Six in Spidey 6!

What really rang my chimes about all that was, this guy Crane was a doctor, right? Doctors are not exactly stupid people, and they know chemistry; but here's this guy flushing the liquid form of his fear-dust [or whatever] into the water supply, without so much as one test-run to see if that would actually work. Gallons and gallons and truckloads, completely wasted. What a dingbat! That really rang false with me, because Crane did not seem like a stupid man at all. He was brilliant.

Why would they waste time and show him testing it? He already apparently had been using it SINCE HE USED IT AS A WEAPON IN THE MOVIE. So, he did test it and knew it worked.

You have not thought this all the way through: it was in use IN PARTICULATE FORM. He has NOT been using it delivered in an aqueous agent [water]. Some things lose their efficacy when you change the mode of delivery: in fact this is true of the vast majority of drugs, and if there's one thing any doctor knows first and foremost, it's that basic fact.
So again I cry "foul," "poor logic!" or what-have-you: anyone as smart as Crane would have tested that right off to see if it would work first. Hell, he had an asylum-full of guinea-pigs to whom he could have slipped a glass of adulterated water to at dinner-time, and then stood back and observed the effects [if any.]
Back to Venom! Venom is 3 is still the worst of all bad ideas, when we already have everyone but the kitchen sink in the cast. :)

I was thinking that maybe Peter could be attacked by the symbiot somehow and it tries to attach itself to him, but somehow he manages to get it off and cause it to run away. That would explain how it knows how to copy him, but you don't have to go through the whole "Check out my new black costume! Eww, it's evil, I'm throwing it away!" ordeal.

Then In SM4 Have Venom Having His Offspring not just Carnage, But The Whole Bunch. This Would By Far be the greatest challange spidey would ever face and great to end the SM franchise

That is a bad idea. Too many characters to keep track of. I agree on your idea of Spiderman 3, but Spiderman 4 should be an all out brawl between Spidey and Venom...like in Amazing Spiderman 375.

In all honesty, I thin they're probably gonna introduce Topher Grace as Eddie Brock to set up Venom for SM4, which isn't a half-bad idea.
As for where the suit should come from: the lab, not outer space. I love Venom as much as the next Spider-Man fan, but I really dig the Ultimate version. There'sa a much deeper problem for Spider-Man to fight Venom, because he is a childhood friend.
Bicranial

And we have to wonder if alien symbiotes are part of what Raimi envisions for a viable storyline. He's made Spidey pretty believable (not totally) up until now, and I hope he continues down that road.

11-23-2005, 12:02 AM
i think the setup for venom should occur in this movie. imho spiderman should battle only the Green Goblin 2 and Sandman in this film. perhaps one of the battles spiderman should have the symbiote assist him in his victory. after spiderman discards the symbiote it will find it's next host & there should be a minor reveal of venom at the end of the film.

If they just Introduce Venom in this film. It will end up like Jason Goes To Hell, when freddy grabbed the mask.
There is no Gauranteed 4th film. Pretty much everyone involved with the film has been pretty shady with talking about a 4th one. So therefore to tease a huge fanboy Character like that would be just wrong.

I'm rather torn on this idea... and before people question my credibility that I've got under 10 posts... that just means I recently got an account so I CAN post (just like all of you did at one time or another...) I've been a fan nearly my whole life and I've read these boards for some time. Back to business... I think Venom is an amazing character, and if done properly, could cause for some awesome cinematography. Naturally, he should be in the movies, he's a sure money maker. But that IS a lot of story to tell in one movie. It COULD be done, probably depending on the origin they choose. I know that recasting turns me off, and this is probably the last movie these individuals do, so should Sony make it count and get sure ticket sales with Venom while they can? It would be hard to get things done right, but I say they go for it.

Seems like an awful big risk for a short term payout. That being, basically the death of a franchise for the short term payout in SM3. Too soon for Venom, both from a business standpoint, and the standpoint to do his story justice, as well as the completion of Harry's story.
And as far as recasting, I think most (if not all) of the parties will be back for SM4. Kirsten/MJ being the lone long shot IMO... and that includes Raimi too, as he's backed off his threats of SM3 being his last, even to the point of going full circle and openly campaigning for future SM movies. Good thing or not? There's the $64 question IMO.

I don't think it's too soon for Venom. If he doesn't do well, no loss and they put other villains in #4. If he he's spectacularly popular, toss him in the 4th against Carnage.
Personally I think Venom is too much of a villan for Spiderman to handle on his own and they should do a reversal of plots. Instead of having more than one villan show up (like in the Batman movies) have more than one hero, ala BlackCat.

If they could get everyone to sign for #4, then I say introduce the symbiote in this one, finish the Goblin story, and have Venom in 4. I think everyone views that as ideal. I agree that Venom needs more than one movie for his story to be told. I think Spider-Man using the symbiote to defeat sandman would be pretty sweet... If they can get a returning cast and crew for 4.

I still refuse to take any talk of Venom seriously, because the -only- indicator of his presence we have is.... Kirsten Dunst. And everyone knows how reliable she's been in the past... sure. I'm takin' her really seriously.
Sorry all you who want the 70's kid as Venom; I still ain't buying it.
Yes... cause Black Crappy would be such a BIG help against the likes of Venom.
Now now, don't be like that! Give BC a chance! She does too have powers against Venom; if he showed up she could unzip her catsuit [pardon the pun] all the way and blind him with her pulchritude.
[Although should Gopher in fact turn out to be Venom, and BC does end up being in it - I am going to laugh so hard, I probably really will fall out of my chair, instead of just saying I do for sarcastic effect. :)]

I agree that Venom in SM3 is too soon, and that the symbiote/Brock/Venom need more than one movie to tell their story properly. I would rather have Venom in SM5 myself, but I think SM4 is what it will work out to be. For Better... or for Worse.

Question... not sure if has been thoroughly adressed in other threads..or perhas even this one.
If we do see Venom.... what type of Venom do you want to see..
Drooling with fangs... and green saliva... making it that much harder for him to talk...
or do you just want to see the that smile sometimes, peeling back from the black...
venomadness
11-25-2005, 01:11 PM
If Venom appears in any movie, he should be frightening...that's his appeal. The tongue, teeth and drool are just part of him. Anything less would not do him justice. Just a smile would just make him Spiderman with a mouth. No thanks. Venom shouldn't be in a movie yet, but if he is, I'll be open to it. I'll just hope he gets his own movie after his appearance in SM3...and then pray to god that Carnage is the only other symbiote they introduce. The "offspring" and Hybrid and Toxin are all a joke and a product of the Symbiote Bandwagon. Venom and Carnage should appear together down the rode and duke it out. Scream and all of the other embarrassing symbiotes are what turned me off of Venom back in the day. I can't believe people still talk about them, hopefully I'll never see them come to life on the big screen.
Do any of you watch the show on FX called Prisonbreak??? There is a character played by Robert Knepper...he would make an excellent Cletus Kasady. He'd be a perfect Carnage. Absolutely perfect.
Anyways, yes, I'd want to see the tongue, teeth and drool.

.... is that the redneck-pedophile guy, with red hair? If so, I have to agree. Oh my GOD that guy is nasty :) I thought he'd make a good Carnage from the first episode of the show I saw. The only problem is he's a little old for Cletus.
I wouldn't shed any tears to see him cast as Clete, though, even so. He is ONE EFFECTIVE VILLAIN. He'd just have to lose the cornpone accent. And like Cletus, he's a rather small, slender guy so he doesn't look like much of a physical threat... yeah, just don't turn your back on him!

From the moment I saw him in action in Prisonbreak, I said, "Holy *****, that's a perfect Cletus Kasady." Slap some red hair on him and he's perfect. I think it's his eyes. He's got the 'crazy' eyes.

And he has that insinuating way of talking that's how I've always imagined Clete coming out with those crazy theories of his... a smooth talker, yet totally just... insane.
See, this is another good reason Gopher should not be Brock. You can look at the actor in the role being discussed here and tell immediately that he is dangerous, can't be trusted for a second and has a tendency to be rather short-fused [onscreen, I mean. I'm sure he's a nice guy IRL]. He totally makes you believe he's got several screws loose.

I think the Spiderman franchise has done a great job casting everyone so far. People need to relax a little bit and make comments about Topher and Church after seeing the movie (or at least a trailer with the two of them in it). The casting director seems to know what he's doing, so I'd trust him with Topher and Church too. I think both will be excellant in their roles. I understand giving comments/opinions - but one should keep somewhat of an open mind.

It's because those of us doing it don't take him seriously as a villain.

I guess they could've hired Pee-Wee Herman and sent him to acting coaches and bulked him up too, but would we take him seriously as Venom? Same thing with the 70s kid, to a lesser degree. I don't dislike Pee-Wee at all, but would he make a good Venom? Uh, no.

It's either Electro or Venom whom Topher is playing. My gut feeling tells me that he's playing Eddie Brock. Either way, they won't be able to hide who's he playing when filming starts, somebody will have found proof by then. If not, we'll know if they don't cast someone who's a muscle bound guy (like the size of Flash in SM1/a little older than Peter's age range) before they start filming soon--if they don't, all things point to Topher/Eddie Brock. Being that he's been in a Sony's Press release, he's not playing a minor role.
Forget about Ned Leeds, they've got one Goblin (II), and they wouldn't dare use two.

Raimi's getting bashed plenty in his turn, don't worry. However we don't yet know what Raimi has really done here yet. Meanwhile Gopher is "unsafe at any speed," as a villain pretty much, so he's getting most of the heat. In the main, people don't seem to respect him much - a marked contrast to most other villain castings for these films.
If it turns out the worst case scenario is true, I'd imagine Raimi's in for a bit of heat, not only here but... everywhere.

I could Topher as a villain.Maybe not like any villain we'd imagine,but definitely a "rendition".I don't care for him Venom,but then again I didnt care GG in armor,or Ock being manipulated by his tentacles.There's really not much you do but complain when it comes to things like that because the directors going to do whatever he wants to do.Topher's just coming off the small screen so I can see why he isn't being praised,but I see him pulling off a good Ned Leeds.If he's Venom,then I'm sure he can pull off a nice Rami-style Eddie Brock.It wouldn't be Venom as I or many others would have imagined,but I don't think his acting will completely ruin the movie.:confused:

Personally..... I do think whom ever Topher is, he will do a good job. He's really not a bad actor....I think he will be fine. However, he does not fit the bill or have the build to be EB/V. I'm telling you all....... he going to be you know who..... hey, that's just me :)

I am curious about something. I know this is too late to do this idea.
But remember in part 2, when Peter saw that guy getting beat up, and he just walked away? I think it would have been great if that had been outside the Bugle, and that had actually been Eddie Brock.
And later have peter meet Eddie Brock at the Bugle, and Eddie's like "Hey no hard feelings, dweebs like us aren't meant to fight. But I'm lifting weights, I'm gonna be big" And have that be all the Eddie you show in part 2.
The in part 3 actually set him up for part 4 as Venom. Have the whole Eddie solves a crime, then Spider-Man resolves it, proving Eddie wrong, and all the other stuff, with Eddie's wife leaving him. When Eddie finally becomes Venom, and realizes that Peter is Spider-Man, he remembers hey Pete could have saved me, but he just let me take it. Just a way to add to the hatred, because the current thing just doesn't equal enough hatred in my opinion. You could also have Eddie's wife being a fan of Spidey's, making Eddie jealous.
You could even have a dramatic scene where Venom's face peels back, and asks him why? You took everything from me. You ruined my entire life. My wife's love, my career. Your supposed to be a hero, and you let those guys beat me nearly to death. Why? And then you turned me into this monster. Why did you do that to me? How could you? All that time, I was struggling to make a career, and you rode by easily taking pictures of yourself, and when I finally get a big break, you step in and ruin it for me. What did I ever do to you? You have done everything to me."
And spider-man could have his mask off, and say "I had no idea. Eddie I'm sorry, let me help you, this thing is changing you. I know because, it changed me."
And then they continue fighting. Of course I'm talking late in a movie with Venom, after it's already been established, that Spider-Man can not take Venom, and Venom's bent on killing Spider-Man. Previously you could even show that peter is unaware as to why this Venom is so bent on destroying him.

Hey, what do you think of this Christina Cindrich person as Venom? :) It could happen - in a world where Gopher could be Brock, I don't see why Chrissy there is all that implausible. Why not?
I remember people saying last time Hal Sparks was going to be Venom... I swear, if we found out some *police-dogs* were scheduled to be "extras" in a crowd-scene, people'd be saying they were symbiotic dogs, like those seen in the Tsunami Venom series.
I remember people were saying Chocolate Cake Girl was going to be Gwen, too. A sizeable number of people here were absolutely convinced of this, and got angry when wiser souls laughed out loud at the prospect....
So Christina could be Venom - I can definitely see it. What say you?

These remarks may strike you as extremely egocentric on my part, and if they do, you're absolutely correct. :) "Topher" has yet to earn *my* respect. If he's cast correctly [as in, how he should logically be cast], he'll have the opportunity to earn that. If not.... well.

I really dont want Venom to be in the next movie if he is going to be played by Topher. But Sandman as the mainvillain would suck even worse. I would like to see Venom on screen, but only if done right and after the classic villains (like Lizard). I really dont know about all this talk about Venom, I think certain people have already made up their minds, in their minds Venom is the second villain.

Topher DID choose his name.... in the 6th grade, his class had 6 Christophers, all going by the name Chris + last initial ( i.e. Chris G) He decided he wanted to be different, and went by the name of Topher, and demanded all who speak with him to do the same... anyway... Having just finished the Ultimate Spider-man game, I think something in that game would work beautifully in the movie: Venom's need to feed. Venom could be feeding on street thugs (basically seems to be like Harry Potter Dementors.... the suit sucks out body chemicals, leaving its prey cowering and mumbling in a state of dementia).
Imagine that in the movie. Street thugs are going to the hospital en masse, all demented, mumbling about white eyes and spider... naturally everyone assumes it's Webhead. It would definitely work.

that's because you have know your whole life what it smells like. The thought of how disgusting it is actually has probably entered your brain over a thousand times while you were under the age of 10 alone. Not to mention every time somebody farted. Your brain links taste and smell together.

I have had a dramatic change in opinion on Topher Grace. Before I said that Topher was "acceptable" as Eddie Brock/ Venom, that given a good script and proper execution of the character we would see a great Venom.
But then today came along...............
I was flicking through my Sky Digital, and nothing was on.........except That 70's Show. I decided it would be a laugh to watch a series I hadn't watched since I was a young teen and to analyse our potential Eddie Brock.
There and then the Fear of God was struck in me. I don't know what it was, but watching Topher Grace made me go pale in the face. I tried to imagine him playing the physcotic Eddie Brock and I just...........couldn't. I tried to imagine him, right there and then, with the symbiote engulfing him and I felt nothing.
Admittedly I haven't seen any of Topher's films so I can't judge on his versatility as an actor, but I just can't accept Topher as Eddie any longer. It just feels like an injustice to the character and a "teeny bopper" move.
Here's hoping I will get to see Topher as my preferred choice, the Hobgoblin.

2) The film now is Spider-Man vs Venom
And for the two films, you can have fun with all the other junk such as more development with Peter and Mary Jane, Aunt May, Jonah and little John Jameson and the rest of the happy friends. And prehaps any other villain set-ups and whatnot.
ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! How many years ago was Spiderman 2???? It's been such a long time ago!!! I aint going to be waiting another 3-4 years for Spiderman 4... Before we even SEE another Venom.

People who want to see Venom in Spider-Man 3, are people who must really HATE the character. With Sandman being official and Harry/GG2 storyline, Venom will have about 6 minutes or less of screen-time. I just can't believe how stupid some of you actually are, in wanting to see him so bad, that you are willing to see him molested to less than a cameo character.
If Sony/Marvel/Raimi are reading this, EDDIE BROCK should be featured and fleshed out, with the rivalry and hate between Peter/Brock/Spidey in mind--throughout Spider-Man 3 and 4, to ready him for Spidey 5. This is how you build a massive anticipation for VENOM, in which he deserves.:cool:

Eddie Brock is not going to get "fleshed out," you can forget that right now. We got 5 minutes of origin for each of Spidey's top two, most-important villains, yet some people seem to think we're going to get a 3-film buildup for Brock, regardless of who plays him.
This is NOT GONNA HAPPEN, you can take it to the bank. A complicated buildup would take too much screen-time away from Dunst and Aunt May making speeches about heroism. Brock will get his five minutes of origin-time, and you better like it. :)

Also, "Eddie Brock" should be in SM3 and "Venom" should come in later. I don't think the world is ready for "Venom" yet. Neither is the Movie Spider-Man Universe (opposed to the Ultimate or Amazing Spider-Man Universes).

I mean, I've never thought sandman was that cool of a character, i mean, he can turn into sand, wow.... But venom? Yea, i think that sandman is a throwaway villain, put in there to make fans happy, and venom is the real deal... maybe it's just me, but I dunno how enjoyable an entire 2 1/2 hour-long movie would be about a guy who can become sand... I dunno, he never showed up in the 90's cartoon, and I've seen EVERY episode of that show, and I don't feel cheated that he never apeared... Sandman just doesn't do it for me... And honestly, niether does Electro, especially after FF's Doctor Doom showed similar abilities, it'd just be a re-run... I dunno... I picture Spidey getting the costume, fighting sandman, then losing the costume, then brock getting it, then a major fight or two, maybe a wedding, and at the very end, maybe Harry dons a costume... I dunno, that sounds pretty damn good to me... Characters like Rhino and Sandman are a dime a dozen, and I can only see them as thugs who are temporarily in Spidey's way... Just my opinion....

Yes indeed I do. Sandman's going to end up being a cheap date. Just wait and see. :)

Venom needs a sidekick, someone like Electro or Scorpion. (someone that will help him get to Spidey and help wreck havoc)

Don't get me wrong, I love Venom. I just want to see his character used to perfection, not messed up horribly by trying to appease some "fans" and put him in 3. This is what I would do.
Spiderman 3 - GG2, Sandman
Spiderman 4 -Lizard, Scorpion
Spiderman 5 - Sinister 6 (Electro, Ock, Mysterio, Chameleon, Shocker, Kraven) or find some other 6.
Spiderman 6 - Venom (maybe Carnage)
I don't think after fighting Venom and Carnage anything would be a challenge to Spiderman. Leave them for last imo.

Speaking of Carnage, I just saw the new Marvel Selects Ultimate Carnage at my local Suncoast Store. I was not impressed a bit. Judging by how the Venom looked that came out, I thought Carnage would be amazing. Nope. They could have done so much, but definitely failed in my opinion. Anyone else seen it up close and personal?
And...a side kick for Venom? For Venom?!? No friggin' way!

I actually bought the carnage at my local comic book store and I love it. its head is like this cool rubbery stuff that you can bend his mouth in all these cool ways and it comes with a dead Gwen Stacey.
I love it :up:

It terms of the basic look, I wouldn't be too upset with that Venom, in terms of size, costume, mouth etc. But the costume needs to have some kind of texture or fluidity to it to make it more like a living organism and to make it look like it's existing in the same reality of spidey. We dont want it looking like spidey is fighting a video game character.
