Comments on: VENOM Film Officially in the Works http://geektyrant.com/2009/04/venom1/ Geek Movie and Entertainment News Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:11:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: filmgeekben http://geektyrant.com/2009/04/venom1/comment-page-1/#comment-361 filmgeekben Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:09:22 +0000 http://www.geektyrant.com/?p=4871#comment-361 I stand by my name. I'm not saying Venom is some sort of "unknown" but simply that- compared to Capt. America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, X-men, Punisher and Incredible Hulk, he's pretty low on the list. While I love a lot of the Marvel universe, I am pretty brutal when it comes to turning them into feature films. Venom isn't a tentpole. Now Captain America, that's a show I'd line up to see. I stand by my name.

Mysterio sure, shocker he was cooler back in the day but looking at his power he sucks, but venom third tier hell nah. My only problem is venom is dead, how are they gonna fix that. I mean as perfect as Sam Raimi got all the other characters and stuff in spiderman(gobbies costume sucked but the character was dead on), I don't know how he blew venom so bad. Hell even sandman was perfect. Venom is one of spidey's best villians, I could geek out the whole way on venom but the problem is simply either they are gonna pull and incredible hulk or else they are gonna have to slightly fuck another franchise. And with the money spidey has made I severly doubt they will screw with spidey just to possibly add a new title even if it could be a blockbust, because they could all be blockbusters not everyone makes it that high.

Carnage or Scorpion (set up for Mac Gargan anyone?) would be amazing villians.

This is a third tier character at best, with little recognition beyond the comic book fans. I kind of like the effort that Marvel puts into spreading the good word of the comics-based properties. Comics can use all the help they can get and I don't see any other company actively pushing their content into other media. But I sometimes wonder how far a character like Venom can carry outside of his traditional role as Spider-man's nemesis. Its too early to shrug off the news, but I'm not expecting much. Is this feature talk or are we gonna get an animated Direct to DVD title? I am not counting on much. This is a third tier character at best, with little recognition beyond the comic book fans.
