This Is How Venom Should Have Looked!

[Vaportrail]

The only thing that bugs me is the webbing. If they'd made Spidey's outfit more like the comic version rather than looking like he'd fallen into a vat of paint, I'd be happy.

Venom was great, otherwise. Just those webs. Meh.
Honestly, I just think it was the fact that the axed him that got people upset.

 

[WolfCypher]

I was expecting Venom (or at least Eddie) to die. I wasn't expecting the blink-&-you-miss-it length of time Venom had, nor the cheesiness that was SM3's Sandman.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Loved the webs-made more sense to me. And I'm glad Venom died the way he did. And I had no problem w/his screen time.

 

[WeaponXProject]

I was expecting Venom to be terrifing after that trailer showed that sneak of him screaming when he first gets the symbiote. I thought it was gonna be Venom with a slimy look like Ridley Scott's Alien. Venom wasn't even scary. He was funny and we saw Topher more than we saw Venom. I am not attacking Topher, he did his best for what Raimi gave him, but he shouldn't have cast him as the character. Raimi cast Topher to be parallel to Spidey. Like looking in a mirror of what he could have been. I am still disappointed. I had high expectations for this and Indy 4 and I think Indy 4 was worse but I expected more with Spidey 3 bc they had the best trailer I had ever seen.

The suit looked too dry, it should have looked far more organic than it did, it was so obvious Topher was in a suit.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

I thought Topher did a great job as well. His screen time was horrible though.

Exactly...he needs to be have at least, at the bare minimum 45 minutes added to the director's cut.

 

[Symbiote666]

There will be no director's cut. Might be a 3.1 but it's only going to add little scenes, not add that amount of (unfilmed) screentime to that character,

 

[UltimateJustin]

That Venom looks like a big old dog!

 

[Papa Burgundy]

venom looked sweet in spider-man 3. however his screentime, underwritten role, role in the fianl battle, sucked comeplete ass.

 

[Grievous]

how sick is that?

I agree that would of made a better Venom in my eyes.

 

[Adrian89]

It's great!

 

[Shiaruki]

Now that is how Venny should have looked, not like that trash ''they'' came up with.

 

[American_Hobo]

I'm fine with Venom's look in Spiderman 3(thought it was ok).

But New Goblin's costume was such a disaster.

 

[LightningFlash]

Yah, the design was okay, just because they added muscle to the weakling of Topher Grace. Now a bigger Brock would've been nice, but the awful choice they did make, the Venom designed worked perfectly.

Nah... I didn't particularly like that design much. On first sight, I kind of twisted my mouth in disapproval.

 

[LightningFlash]

How so? I appreciate the way Raimi wanted to make this version of Venom a twisted version of Spidey; it's just Eddie's story as well as the symbiote's story that was unpleasing.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I liked the fact that Spidey's black costume was closer to something he himself might have actually come up with, rather than a radical departure based off the look of a woman he'd just met. Putting the webs on Venom made him look more like a twisted perversion of Spider-Man, & that made more sense to me than to have him dress as just an exact replica with fangs.

 

[LightningFlash]

But kudos to TSSM for using both versions in a brilliant way.

 

[Chris Wallace]

True.

I fully agree. Venom is a creepy and scary looking creature. Even in the comics,Spidey was actually afraid of him.
And speaking of Alien. That's how I pictured Venom a bit myself. I just finished watching Cameron's Aliens,and watching the Alien crawling along the wall so reminded me of Venom,and how it would lunge at it's prey. Venom needs that wicked sense of humor,but that should come along with the horror.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Spidey's fear of Venom never really made sense to me. He's battled foes vastly more powerful than Venom & never once backed down, but he cowers like a little b**** every time he sees Brock.
And again, I was fine with the way he looked. For 10 years I was afraid he was gonna end up looking something like this.

I mean in terms of texture. So I truly think they went the right route.
Besides, I wouldn't want that slimy, grotesque look on Spidey, & Venom shouldn't look extremely, radically different from how Spidey looked wearing the same suit, right?

I'd like to think it has alot to do with how Venom looks. He is a creepy looking creation,for sure. Villians like Ock and Goblin can be scary,of course,but for the most part they still look human and are familiar to Spidey. Venom(or the symbiote),on the other hand,is this alien thing that once tried to take over Spidey's mind and that is a very scary thing. Maybe Sspidey also see's that Venom is a darker version of himself and that scares him and makes him think of what he could have become. Venom and the symbiote to a certain extent represent the unknown darkness to both Spider-man and Peter Parker.
At least,that's one of my opinions.

 

[Ziz]

Wasn't there also something about Venom/the symbiote cancelling out Peter's spider sense? That means that Pete could never sense when Venom was near or what he was up to. That makes Pete a little more scared of him than the rest of the villains where he can predict what's going to happen.

 

[BlueLightning]

That´s right. Spidey cannot sense Venom´s prescence because the symbiote was bonded with Peter first.

 

[Chris Wallace]

All of these people can cancel it out, too.
