Which Venom would you prefer? [Pics]

[Toren]

Most people are talking about Venom now, this can be merged with the main Venom topic if you'd like. I was just wondering which version people were mainly wanting in the movie... that is if you had no choice whether or not he is in the movie.

Original


Variation


Recent


I voted for the original, which I think is the most workable version for the movie (and for Topher if he ends up being Venom).

[Frenzy]

Something in between. A realistic sized villain with all the power and grace of Spidey combined with the hatred and killer instinct of a monster.

More toward the bottom picture.

Should there be 3 pics?

[Toren]

Edited to fix the last pic... I totally forgot about Ultimate Venom.

Feel free to post a pic of the Venom you'd prefer if it's other.

[Frenzy]

On one hand I think "keep him realistic" then I think "Well he should be able to kick a lot of ass like in the comics. I think he's squared off and won against nearly everyone hasn't he?" so I'm really in two minds.

I think for movie venom he should be closer to the top with the face from the 'middle' piccy

[American_Hobo]

can't beat the original

[Casius--J]

I went for variation, only cause thats what i grew up to know as venom. The original looks too much like spidey for my likin, but I can see the film version bein closer to the original more than anything.

[OctaviusINC]

I picked the recent one. But here me out, I like the original, but the recent one and even the variation, is more scary and monstorous. I f Venom appears in Spidey 3 I want people to think, "Holy crap that things freaky." The original just isn't scary enough, he looks like spidey with teeth. Ultimate Venom would rock.

[Spider-Who?]

a cross between Variation and Recent...but dont make his so huge, we dont need a black hulk running around in SM3.

[Compi716]

What about the Bagley version of Venom? To me, that's the classic look.

[Jason Martell]

I would prefer a cross between these.




and you know how they gradually make tiny changes to spidey's costume for each movie. I think Venom will bein two movies and they should gradually change him to a cross between these two



and when he gets hit in the face, I think for a second his face should become distorted for a second, and then go back to normal like this.

I personally think those pictures posted by the thread starter suck. I would really hate for Venom to look like that.

[Toren]

Angry much?

Personally I think the pictures you posted weren't anything special. I hate the look of the jaw, the face, and frankly, there's no way I could see them working in context of the movie.

The only one I could really see in context would be the original.

[Mister C]

the original all the way.

[Arcturus]

[Toren]

Yea, I posted that in another thread. I probably should have just used all covers instead of pages from the books.

Dude if they can make an action figure look like that, then they can make him look like that on the big screen, and that probably is the most popular look of Venom, even though I doubt there has ever been a real poll to look into it.
The original wouldn't even look as cool as Dock OCk, Vulture, Sandman, or MTV Electro, Lizard. The original Venom is in the same league as movie Green Goblin.

Besides you even said you liked Ultimate Venom, two of those are Ultimate Venom.

[Silver Sable]

Original or ultimate

I certainly hope they don't make him look anything like the pics Jason posted. They look horrible!! Especially the one of the action figure.

[LightningSpidey]

I think we are going to see a completely different Venom. Raimi will probably change him a bit... Heck the Goblin had a metal mask on...

[Jason Martell]

huh I'm really surprised people feel that way. That time period those are from with the exception of the two Ultimate's, is the time when Venom was at his peak in popularity, and Mark Bagley beame a giant name, partially because of that look he created for Venom. I don't know how old you guys are, but I do know that a lot of older comic book fans prefer the way the villains use to look a long time ago, because that's what they grew up on. Like my Grandpa for example prefers the smaller eyes on Spider-Man, and doesn't even like Venom.

I prefer the larger eyes, and love Venom. But I don't doubt that for non comic fans the venom images I posted are the ones they want to see. The other pictures don't make really unique, he just looks like another monster with teeth.

The aciton figure is Ultimate Venom and it looks a lot cooler when it's not in a picture, especially the head. I mean when you can actually see the figure.

Agreed, those are awsome designs for Venom.
