The Amazing Spider-Man If Venom is used again, this is how he should look!

[Spiderman6592]

Agreed. I loved the way The Spectacular Spider-Man pulled off Venom's backstory: Introduce Eddie Brock as Peter's childhood friend working at ESU in the beginning, and the symbiote is the straw that broke the camel's back. That's the way I would do it. Then, Venom is the product of a slow build-up of anticipation, with an entire film to tell the story of Spider-Man vs Venom.

That's the same way he was introduced in USM.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Well, if the suit is "alive"...it would make sense for it to react according to how the host is feeling.

There's no point if you just want a slightly larger, black version of Spider-Man.

Venom is the most distorted and nightmarish reflection of what Spider-Man COULD have become if he gave in to the symbiote.

 

[Godzilla2014]

That was the same characterization for Eddie Brock, but in The Spectacular Spider-Man he is present from the show's first episode, as opposed to only being introduced at the beginning of the Venom arc as in Ultimate Spider-Man.

In what way are you talking about the symbiote reacting?

The symbiote would react to what Eddie Brock feels or what he wants. This is why he has the creepy, inhuman grin on the face.

Eddie Brock doesn't "give in" to the symbiote, he accepts what it has to offer.

 

[Troy_Parker]

...I'm talking about the tendrils.

The current Venom (Flash) doesn't smile creepily when he gets mad.

He goes from that into this.

For me, the only time Venom should have cosmetic (as in, not weapons or the like) tendrils is when he's being harmed using his weaknesses, sonics and fire, like in Spider-Man: The Animated Series and The Spectacular Spider-Man. This preserves the "distorted Spider-Man" aesthetic, and visually tells the audience when he's in pain.

Otherwise, just use facial expressions.

 

[Troy_Parker]

They did that in Spider-Man 3 as well, didn't they?

It looks cool.

But regardless, I seriously doubt they'll use an otherwise plain and smooth surface for Venom's suit.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Semi-related.

I love this goddamn picture of Venom.

I never said it wouldn't have texture. Just not the tendrils, or the drool and tongue hanging out.

Me too!

I agree. The reporter thing was already done with Spider-man 3. I loved having him already being Peter's best friend. I hope they use that angle if he appears again in this new movie series.

He should look like he did in S-M3, but bigger. And maybe have a slight purple tint to him, like in Ultimate. Same with the black suit.

I think it might be best to remove the webbing from both the symbiote Spider-Man and Venom costumes or dull it. The webbing works against the simpicity of the design.

It's a minimalistic design, and it's not designed to have webbing on it.
No to the purple tint. Just black.

 

[Doctor Who]

The Venom I grew up with is the one I want to see adapted to the big screen.

Agreed. Venom works best with a rather conservative, simple design. Big, bulky guy in Spider-Man's black costume with his own touches with an inhuman grin of sharp teeth and claws.

 

[VenomSpawn]

I still say he should have some kind of color to him other than black. Have sort of a glossy look to him. Kind of like this:

(Yes it's from LittleBigPlanet which is silly, but shut up.)

I don't think he really needs a color other than black. I think a glossy appearance might work, but I don't need him to be blue or purple.
What do you think about not putting webbing on the symbiote costume again?

 

[VenomSpawn]

Well, the webs didn't bother me on the suit in Spider-Man 3, but for the sake of keeping it close to the comics/different from Raimi's, keep the webs off of it. But keep everything else more or less the same, just make him bigger and change the symbol just a bit.

I think they were a bit unnecessary for Venom, and wouldnt have been necessary for Spider-Man if they had used a big, wraparound symbol like Venom's. I love the symbol they used in the film for Venom, so I would reuse it, but on both symbiote Spider-Man and Venom this time.

It's a great, sleek update of the original design.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Am I the only one that liked the webs?

I just assumed they were there as a result of the symbiote keeping the original suit's...urm, basic design?

Hell, he even had the boots and belt.

 

[VenomSpawn]

^ You aren't the only one, I really liked the webs too. It really reflected that fact that he was like an evil, dark version of Spider-Man.

 

[Godzilla2014]

I didn't mind the webs, per se, my problem is that in lieu of the wraparound symbol, the suit looks like a black version of the red & blue outfit. The classic symbiote Spider-Man design is completley different from the regular design. It's a minimalistic, simple design.

The webbing, plus the lack of the wraparound symbol, it emphasized the similarities, instead of the differences.

With the wraparound symbol, the webbing is completely superfluous, and unnecessary.

 

[Godzilla2014]

The picture of the Venom figure is a prime example of my problem with putting webs on the symbiote suit; I can barely make out the symbol because it's blending into the webs.

 

[VenomSpawn]

Well, the second picture has a very visible symbol. They made the symbol very dark on that figure for....some reason.

 

[Godzilla2014]

It's also more visible in the movie, though it's still not white like in the second picture.

My point was that the webs aren't even necessary with the wraparound symbol. It occupies plenty of space. The webs were necessary (on the film's black costume Spider-Man) because of needless changes.

Also, the changes in black costume's design now meant that Venom's design doesn't make as much sense as would have otherwise. Why would Eddie Brock put the wraparound symbol on himself? The whole point in the comics was because Spider-Man wore it, so Venom wore it to mock him.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Eh, it shows up in some figures.

But at times in the movie, it did actually blend in to the rest of the webbing. If they're going to use webbing, keep it subtle and less raised than the symbol...or y'know, make the symbol colour just a little brighter than its surroundings. lol
