No I was not upset, but if you read my other posts you would know that I love Venom above ALL other marvel characters, I'm talking a wide margin between Venom and my second fave. So when I heard of a Spidey movie I naturally wanted Venom.
If my love of these characters could be measured in height Spidey (my 2nd fave) would be the height of the Empire State Building...My love of Venom is about five miles past the planet PLUTO

The same reason there are a lot of cloning movies. Just as nuclear war and monsters created by such were what frightened people in the 50's/60's and therefor was what a lot of their movies were based on, so cloning is the new fear/interest that people want to see explored in movie.
Or they just like the story :up:

Holy Crap! Joe Q is actually working on the movie! That's awesome that they invited that kind of talent in to actually be there working on the movie! Awesome. I loved the clips he showed of Venom in action, and all of the pictures.
I really liked it when Sam Raimi jumpped into the room and said "That's right! Venom is 100% confirmed by reliable sources working at the highest levels of the movie! You all know very well that secret are never kept from the actors to surprise them, um even though none of the actors in the first Aliens movie even got to see the monster until the day of filming, and David Fincher filmed an entirely bogus ending to Se7en to keep even the actors guessing!"
Thank God we finally have concrete proof and not some speculation by a person that isn't even working on the movie, whew, what a load off my mind

JQ: Venom was one of those crazy, over the top ideas of the early 90’s. He was the equivalent of big superhero shoulder pads and guns but in the viscous shape of the symbiote.
What it would need to work today?
JQ: Definitely a product of his time, I think Venom is a bit over played and over done and needs some rethinking. It’s interesting that you bring him up because we just got out of a meeting in which we discussed Venom at length. With Venom being one of the stars of the Spidey movie, we have some interesting ideas for him that may just make people take some notice.
Funny hes says that because since they stopped portraying a decent Venom marvel has sucked ass. Maybe if they actually explored the character a bit and didnt use him like a circus clown he wouldnt feel this way. Brock was very much a tortured person and seeing him through his everyday actions would have added alot to his character, yet all they gave us was crap like venom vs juggernaut and venom out to kill spiderman. I find Venom more interesting then Spiderman in most cases. Lets see a person down on there luck and give us the story of why he does what he does. F*** you Joe.

While I definitely don't agree with Joe about Venom being a product of his times, he hit the nail on the head when he said he was overplayed.
Had Marvel not overused him and desaturated his character so much in the earlier nineties, I'm sure the bigwigs wouldn't hate him. Pity the bigwigs are blind morons who's policy on stuff they don't like is to ignore it. Idiots.
The Infernal
05-22-2006, 07:30 AM
Very true. This "he was a silly character" stuff is just smoke and mirrors to hide the current Marvel regime's intense dislike of both Brock, and anyone who happens to be wearing a symbiote. There have been many excellent stories concerning these individuals - Marvel just doesn't want to go there, because we all know people like the Sentry and "Spider-Woman" are oh so much more compelling. :rolleyes:
That's pretty much their attitude to any character they can't write. They find some excuse like "he's a product of the 90's". They've said that with both Venom and Carnage as if that's an excuse for bad storylines rather than admit that they wrote bad stories for the characters. I also believe that it's this attitude towards them that prevents them from writing better stories with characters that they dislike.
It's true that Venom needs to be re-worked but at the moment quite a lot of characters do. Like most characters he needs to evolve as well and not too mention dealing with the horrible storylines he was last involved in.

Look, all I'm saying is that confimation is undeniable proof. If you were to take this case to court, all the confirmations would be deemed hearsay and thrown out as evidence. I honestly hope Venom is in the movie, I would really love to see how a great director like Raimi would be able to rewrite an Anti-Hero that Marvel introduced because they couldn't get Wolverine into another book. He may actually make the character beleivable and fun to watch, who knows. As far as confirmation goes, I'll beleive it when I see it, if that makes me a special student, I'll be sitting in that room with Einstein, Da Vinci, and all the other people that never take anything at face value.

It's all a load of B.S cuz it does not matter when the character was created, just that the character is interesting and appeals to people.

Well let's put it this way
60's gave us SpiderMan like the 90's gave us Spawn :P ick
The 60's were an age of creating complex character driven superheros while the 90's was about "extreme" everything. Muscle bound freaks that killed at will and had no real redeeming features. I don't think it's a matter of age, it's just a matter of quality.

I always though of Spawn and Venom as interchangable, except Spawn had guns.
I'm kind of a beleiver in story first then special effects, while the 90's flipped it around. Granted I like a good fight, but if there is no motivation behind it greater than violence for it's own sake? Not so cool.

The beginning of Spawn was awsome. Its the later work that really sucked. Jim Lees early 90s Xmen set the bar IMO for the rest of comics so to say the 90s were crap is BS. True you cant say the whole 90s were good simply because of one man and one line of comics but every decade has there lulls and highs. 90s were no different. Venom was used by Marvel as a cash cow and when people started to hate the way they were using the character they turned there back on it proclaiming him overdone.

The symbiote and Venom came from the 1980's, Venom arrived in Amazing Spider-Man #298, March 1988. Late 80's, but 80's none the less. As for the symbiote itself, it appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #252, which was May 1984.

Venom always had potenial in my opinion, until Marvel did irreversible damage to him by making him the "lethal protector", before that he was fine, after that he was ruined. Carnage, however, always sucked, he was nothing more than a mindless killer, with no class or style. Venom they could bring to big screen by avoiding all that "lethal protector" crap, Carnage however sucks and should never be brought to the big screen.

I think the problem with the early mid 90's was the fact that they took the late 80's noir comics too far.

how did they avoid being sued by James Cameron? lol

No idea but I've been waiting ever since I heard Sam Raimi would be directing the upcomig Spider-Man movie, I was just upset it was Green Goblin who was confirmed...then Doc Ock and now VENOM!!!
Green Goblin is Spider-Man's arch nemesis, he had to be the villain first movie. Besides if Venom was the first villain, the movie would have had to cover spider-Man's origin, the Venom symbiote comming to Earth, the Venom symbiote bonding with Spidey, Spidey rejecting it and it bonding with Brock to become the villain. It would have been a five hour movie to cover both spidey's origin and Venom in the first movie.
Reikowolf
05-23-2006, 02:16 PM
Spider-Man's history dictates (Stan Lee says this in Mutants & Marvels DVD with Kevin Smith
Doc Ock was meant to be Spider-man's arch enemy. (the whole aunt may needs the medicine and the underwater lab plot)
After Stan and Kirby left, the GG killed Gwen, hence changing what was intended.
Hence SM1 had his arch enemy (gg)
and SM2 had the most iconic enemy (doc Ock)
Venom is now considered "one" of the more popular enemies
as far as I'm conserned.. the order is right.
in fact I wouldn't mind seeing the lizard before Venom

Who the Fook is Joey Q... and why do we care what the guy making Pasta on the Corner thinks about Venom? "they just got out of a meeting in which we discussed Venom at length"????
Unless this meatball works on the film, why does it matter that he discussed Venom in a meeting? Does it count if me and some firends of mine "cussed" errr... discussed :D Sandy???? And talk about "Dis"CUSSIN when we talk about Black Cat Scratchy. :D
That's Joe Quesada, Editor-in-Chief at Marvel. And while he's pretty much seen by fans as a jerk, he would reasonably be a reliable source, considering that he'd be guiding the promotional stuff Marvel would be creating for the film.

Avi Arad is Executive Producer and runs Marvel's film production division. He has nothing to do with the comic books themselves.

yeah.. but wouldn't he be in charge of promotional stuff for the films?

So two actors, that actually work on the movie saying Venom will be in it wasn't good enough? An image of Spider-Man in a black suit from the movie wasn't good enough?
But the word of someone who is only technically connected to the movie.. IS good enough?
:confused:

Yes and no. I'm sure he, along with folks from Sony have final say over ads and other promotional things. But Sony's promotional division would be doing the actual work.
But Joe Quesada runs MARVEL COMICS- that is the comic producing end of Marvel. So he'd be dealing with the COMIC BOOK portion of the promotions -such as the comic book adaptation. He'd hire the writer-artist team and make editorial decisions about it (How long it will be, what scenes will cut and so forth).

Dude, for some folks round these parts even that isn't enough. Even when a poster image of Venom is shown they'll probably still be saying he's not in the movie, it's just a trick.

1) with the relationship that exists between Sony and Marvel, I would not be too sure of him being in the "know"
and
2) IF he was in the know and pulled this shiat of spilling the beans, he won't be in the know for long.
But thanks for the info about Joey Q_ball. And after what they allowed to happen in the comics, I don't want him anywhere near the movie version. HELL... even makes Sam look good.

That was my thought as well.
But hell, they put on the frickin press release "SPIDER-MAN WEARS A BLACK COSTUME IN SPIDER-MAN 3", and still people around here said "It's not black, it's just due to the lighting."

But....we all knew for a year?
We all knew, since 2001, the following...
- Goblin in the first film
- Doc Ock in the second
- Venom in the third
- Harry would become the Goblin
I mean, it is obvious.
