Just because the writers screwed up his story and gave him bad storylines doesen't mean he isan't popular, marketable or unable to carry a movie.
I never said he hasn't got popularity,or he isn't marketable for a movie.
He is the only major Spider-Man villain that has had consistent bad writing.For every one good story he gets,5 terrible ones follow.
He's become a bad cliche,so bad that they've killed Brock off and made the Scorpion the new Venom.
Venom IS popular in the lines of GG and Doc ock. You walk to a random person on the street and ask them to name 1 spiderman villian they're going to say Green Goblin, Doc Ock, or Venom. You're telling me bad guys like the Vulture, Kraven and Rhino are more important then Venom?
Again I never said he wasn't popular.I'm desputing that he is THE most popular and best of them all.
Venom is considered to be one of the "Big three",consisting of GG,Ock and Venom.But he doesn't deserve it IMO. He has not done anything that makes him worthy of being ranked with those two classics.
Venom is popular more for his image then for his story.
Which is sad.A cool image with a shallow character does not a good villain make.
His voice, his image, his powers... just as long as they keep his story true to the comics, I'm sure he can carry multiple movies by himself.
Multiple movies?? How many times can you stomach the "I hate Spider-Man yet I must protect the innocent" routine.
He's not Magneto.He hasn't got that many angles to him.
Green Goblin and Doc Ock are good, don't get me wrong. But Venom is Venom, badass regardless of what the writer's do with him.
LOL! You're not serious??
You don't know if Venom is thrown into the movie with Sandman and GG.
I know Thomas Haden Church and Kirsten Dunst said he's in it.
No one knows much except Venom is in it for 10 minutes.
How do we know this??
You really think all three are going to fight Spidey at once?
Yes I do.I think Harry will save Peter from them and die a hero.
From what we know, Venom himself is going to be in it for 10 minutes, and logically that'll set him up for Spiderman 4.
Again,how do we know this??

Man no one beat up spider-man the way venom did...........spider-man was afraid of him.
So?? Spider-Man QUIT being Spider-Man after Ock beat him.Spider-Man BEGGED for his life with Electro.
Spider-Man only beat venom once Fairly and it was in a stupid way (amazing spiderman 300) everyother time he got fantastic four help everytime. And everytime venom got close to the kill something besides Spider-man got in the way.
Spider-Man never needs to beat Venom anymore.Most times they're working together.Or Venom turns tail and leaves for some stupid reason.
I dont recall Spiderman asking the ff to help him take out Electro.
Spider-Man enlisted the aid of countless heros to take down his villains before.You act as though Venom is the first ever villain Spidey had help taking down.
I can whip out the scanner if you REALLY want to push this.
And yes venom is Spider-mans most fan fav villain overall.
Prove it.
And don't come back with "Because I know" or "All my friends say they like him best" etc. Show me some proof that he's the absolute favorite.
Its why theres so much venom merchandise
There's just as much Ock and GG merchandise too.
I know story concerning venom aint that good now, but you can only blame the writers......I can think of at least 100 ways to write a good Venom story.
Venom hasn't had a decent story in years.The writers don't have that problem with the other villains.
Venom had a good run in the cartoon
So did Ock and GG.Better than Venom in fact.
and made many appearances and had sagas dedicated to him
So have Ock and GG.
to tell the truth kingpin i think was the most used sm cartoon villain and as you know hes quite unpopular.
Kingpin is unpopular?? Where did you get that from??
and why is venom playable in usm the game???
Because the story of the game was about his and Peter's parents,and what became of them.
