If you want to do Venom as an anti-hero out of the gate, it's almost better to drop Spider-Man. That way you don't have the whole hang-up with how much Eddie and the symbiote hate Peter/Spider-Man, and the co-comittant terrorism and assaults that make it kind of harder to root for a character. It's not like Spider-Man is necessary to explain Venom either, honestly. The whole premise behind the character is symbiotic shape-changing alien of dubious morality that gives you super-powers. The fact that Spider-Man got it in the comic was almost incidental (and was mostly just done to justify giving him a costume change). They could easily have done the same storyline with anyone and hit most of the same story beats. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
