Because Sony legit thinks they don't need Disney/Marvel Studios and this is their way of testing that. Lel.

I don't think it's completely unrelated to Spider-Man. It's still part of Sony's universe. Spider-Man isn't 100% MCU. Both Sony and Disney get to use him. Kind of like how Angel split off from Buffy in a different network so they drop references to Buffy occasionally but she almost never actually showed up and the lore was all the same for both shows.

I thought Disney only gets 5 movies with Spider-Man, well at least for now.

Heath Ledger's Joker really wasn't the Joker and its seen as the greatest adaptation if the Joker. Tom Hardy's Bane is still leagues ahead of the Bane we previously saw in Batman & Robin.

Don't get me wrong, I think Rises was a huge disappointment but Tom Hardy's portrayal of Bane had nothing to do with that imo. He was probably the best part of the movie.

It's so fucking dumb. Venom is one of my favorite comic book villains when done right and he gets this treatment. Probably means he'll never be in the MCU. Can't Sony just realize Disney/Marvel Studios just does it better?

might be getting my villains mixed up, but I could have sworn that bane wasn't affiliated with the league of shadows. I thought that was Deathstroke's territory. Not sure why they didn't just give us the real bane.

Sony basically wants there Spider "universe" to be like the MCU TV universe I think.

You know they're shit might reference Spiders actions in the MCU but the MCU is just going to ignore everything in these spin off films.

there's a whole comic series dedicated to him called "Venom: Lethal Protector." It's after him and Spider-man bury the hatchet temporarily.

Why do they fight in the first place? Is it because Eddie is jealous of Spider-Man and is just a general ass because of it? Is Venom inherently a bad guy or is he more of an anti-hero?

He was a villain at first. The only reason the symbiote chose Eddie Brock is because they both shared a hatred for Spider-Man. But eventually They saw Spider-Man as a "necessary evil" and spared him. He then moved on and became an anti-hero. He's only a villain when facing Spider-Man. All other times he's a good guy.

You can't have that and keep the movie "grounded." I'm surprised that Scarecrow's fear toxin was even used in the Nolanverse. But it's somewhat believable because at least Crane is a doctor of medicine.

It's Sony so of course not.

I mean, it isn't like they couldn't make a decent Venom movie, even without Spider-Man. But I doubt they will do it, especially if it's supposed to be some kind of horror movie.

Yeah Sony doesn't know how to handle this superhero stuff at all. If Amazing Spider-man is anything to go by...

And at least Bane wasn't a dumb muscle grunt. He was probably the best interpretation of that character for a long time. Even the Animated Series was guilty of making Bane dumb muscle. Venom has been used as an excuse to remove what actually made his character compelling compared to Batman. That he was a tactical equal.

I don't think Tom Hardy is taking on the role if the movie was gonna be total dogshit. Actors typically pick and choose their roles and read the script beforehand. He's an A list actor. And I doubt he'd want to tarnish his career.

Wow, didn't expect this topic to blow up the way it did honestly.


That being said, is it still within the Spider-Man universe? It's still not adding up for me. This movie is supposedly slated for next year, which gives them very little time, if any, to properly set up the symbiote storyline. The only real opportunity I can see of where Tom Holland's Spider-Man is getting the symbiote any time soon is during the events of Infinity War, but even then you still have to establish the relationship between Spider-Man and the symbiote, since the symbiote's scorn of Spider-Man for abandoning it is crucial to Venom's storyline, as is Eddie Brock's hatred of Peter, which I'm not sure how they're going to do it with Pete not even working for the Daily Bugle at this point in time. And on top of that, since this is a Venom spinoff film (with the assumption that Venom is to be the protagonist of this story), it'd also have to succeed the conflict between Spider-Man and Venom.

They would have to pull some serious time skip shenanigans in order to have it make sense with the Spider-Man universe, and in doing so, you're basically skipping one of the most iconic Spider-Man storylines EVER. Why?

And I get it. They want to make a Rated-R Venom film, which isn't inherently a bad idea, especially if they plan on making Carnage the main villain. And in order to do that, they'd have to distance themselves from MCU Spider-Man. But why not set up Venom proper as a bad guy in a Spider-Man film, then do a Venom film with very vague connections to the rest of the MCU, like how Deadpool and Logan did it?
