Now this is the monster of Venom I wanna see on-screen. There was very little justice done to Venom in SM3, and I hope if they use him again in this franchise, he'll live up to the nemesis his comic book counterpart really is. Now I know there's very little chance of this, but wouldn't it be great to see this spawn on-screen:
Venom was the only villain to get a proper treatment by Raimi. Raimi blatantly ripped off almost every scene of Venom's origin in the cartoon. Even stole lines from the cartoon. Venom wasn't made a weapon contractor in a power-ranger suit. He wasn't controlled by talking arms in a trench coat. He wasn't trying to save his sick daughter.
Like the cartoon and comics before it, Venom was a weasel of an opportunist, who screwed up his own life, but blamed someone else. Venom's rage and madness only really last one battle, honestly. I don't see it being something realistically lasting a long time... It's one thing if Spider-Man killed his wife, or baby, etc... but he lost a job because he's an idiot? Sorry, but that's not enough to push someone into crazy-ville. Yeah, I know, they TRIED to make Venom have more issues to "prove" his case, but it only made him seem weaker and more pathetic. Sum it up, Venom as a character is a turd that has an awesome look, but is written like a 4 year old came up with the story.
The original idea was much better... Venom (the parasite) would jump from citizen to Super-villain, back to citizen to attack Spider-Man at all sorts of crazy moments... and Spidey would be none-the-wiser when it happens, and each time, Venom would have different abilities, since the suit augments it's host. Brock was good for the first host, and had his arc, but I'm sick of him. I'm sick of Gargan and I'm sick of Flash. I want the symbiote loose on the world. I LOVED Ultimate SM cartoon having Harry as Venom. It's different and Harry has more reason to be Venom than ANYONE in the SM universe.
