Which Venom would you prefer? [Pics]

[D.P.]

But seriously....how is Topher Grace going to become this character? He'll have to add 50 lbs.

I always thought his rage and hatred for peter amplified the suits strength, that's where you get the Venom that looks 'roided up from...

So Topher wouldnt have to look like a body builder per se, Kinda like the ultimate version...But we are goin' off of the source material, so i could see how people might be up in arms if he's not the workout freak he was in the 616 universe...

What if we had a progressively evolving Venom throughout the film? That is, when Brock first gets the symbiote, he's basically black Spidey with teeth. As the movie progresses and the symbiote increasingly bonds to Brock, he gets bigger and more monster-like, culminating with the big drippy tongue by the final battle?

I really prefer the early Venom, but this could a neat angle.

I could definetly see this happening - that would be great!

 

[Spider-Fan]

Venom was fine in the early days, but as Marvel tried to shove him down our throats, he grew stale. I would like to see Venom more like he was early on.

Venom too weak? In the comics, he's taken on the Hulk (and I believe he won, not sure though) so I'd have to say he'd have to be toned down a little. That being said, I still want him to be able to get past Spidey's spider-sense... I'm imagining another tense "hunt" like Norman getting really close to Peter (remember when Peter is right above Norman and is bleeding - that was tense), but with Venom getting close to MJ or coming out of the darkness behind Peter and pushing him into danger, like the first two appearances of "Venom" before we knew who he was.

What version of the comics would you have him be? That is kinda the point of the topic after all.

Venom can lift 11 tons the hulk can lift over 100 tons. Highly unlikely he won. Plus spiderman can only lift 6-7 tons so they don’t really need to “tone” venom down

And Spidey has beaten Hulk before, if my memory serves me correctly. So stats have little to do with the outcome of battles in the Marvel universe.

I think Venom will not have web.

But it can be because in some point of view, Venom is possite side of Spider-man as Eddie Brock is oposite side of Peter Parker.

'Eddie Brock would have to be a complete moron to not use webs. It's a liquid symbiote that morphs, twists and turns and forms all those stringy things. Who wouldn't think of shooting strands out of them as a way to get up in the air to fight Spider-Man?

yep venom has to have webs, spidey would be completely overwhelmed by venoms powers in every level, he's spidey but with huge fangs a lot stronger, just as fast as agile and is imunne to spidey's spider sense. As for the look I think the perfect venom should be a mix between mcfarlane's venom and mark bagley's venom, I say make him with mcfarlane's venom's evil smile and eyes and bagley's version teeth tongue, and also bagley's body which is big but also ripped, that would be the perfect combination for venom.

 

[Spider-Bite]

yeah if Venom's only mission was to hurt spider-man and he wasn't going to hurt anybody else, he would have no chance at hurting spider-man without webs. Those arial abilities are a gigantic advantage, you just drop down out of the sky every now and then with a kick, and jump right back up.

 

[hk_spyke]

yeah but brocks not as smart as parker. the symbiote may have knowledge from other worlds but that doesn’t mean it knows how to beat the hulk.

That’s what ultimate Venom does

That's a good idea. i think that would work really well

Ultimate Venom doesn't websling?

 

[Spider-Bite]

In all honesty I'm hoping for the way Venom looks to look like Ultimate Venom. Story wise I'm hoping for something closer to the Amazing Spider-Man line. Personality wise I'm hoping for Eddie to be a little more like Peter. I think that drill sargeant personality for Eddie is actually kind of boring.

nope the symbiote just shoots a line of it's self. when peter had it they shot from his fingers. and to go off topic Ultimate Spiderman is ansome comic book. i have every issue so far

Think you meant, AWESOME, but yea you are right, it is a GREAT comic, iv been reading since issue 1.

I'm curious as to why both Brock and Spiderman are wearing the black costumes in the first pic, which seems to be when they first meet, the one by Spawny boy.

I wanna say the black costume that Spidey is wearing was just a new costume he made. It wasnt a symbiote. I think thats what happend. He liked the look of the black symbiote costume, so he just made a costume that looked like the symbiote he wore. I think.

 

[ElectroFlare]

ProjectPat2280 is right...he made a spandex costume of the black version

 

[superkong 500]

he's got to have web. maybe not like peters web. like Cinemaman said, maybe his web will be a blackish color, maybe even like a dark dark purple.

I think the web should be white but be diferent than spidey's for ex.when spidey traps someone in his web, the web is open and with an almost star shape, whenever venom catches someone the web should be very nasty looking with a lot of goo dripping off of it, and instead of an open web we should see the web of venom covering the victim's entire body until the neck area, only the face visible, like a cocoon with the person hanging upside down, the best example that I remember of that right now would be shelob in return of the king covering frodo with her sticky web.

If you think the McFarlane version would be any good in a movie you're kidding yourself. It would make a cool Marvel Legends figure though.

The Bagely version is great. They'll probably do something in between Bagely's 616 and Ultimate Venoms, he NEEDS to be scary, but still somewhat man-shaped so he can be agile.

Bagely's Venom is my favourite.

I think the new Amazing Spider-man Venom figure has the perfect design for a movie.

 

[ElectroFlare]

That looks horrible. The mouth is way to big to work in the movies...and he's out of proportion with his abdomen vs arms and legs. If they want to model it after that, they should fix the proportions so that Venom isn't laughed at on screen

 

[TheCardPlayer]

That thing is not Venom! It's Crappom!

agreed, his legs are too long.

That sounds pretty cool. Does Venom's strands shoot off his hands?
Oh and by the way, when spidey had it, it shot off the back of his hands, not his fingers.

 

[The Last Meatbag]

In USM he shot it from his fingers, and I dont think Venom even webslinged in USM
