I've heard some blips about it. Not very good things. Kinda concerned. But I really want to decide for myself. Plus, I love Venom. And the CGI (from the trailers anyway) looks promising. Sure as hell beats the crap Spider-Man 3 gave us. **shudders**

I think the only thing that might suck about it is tonal shifts. Trying to be too serious one moment, and then too funny the next. Identity crisis. But I guess that might also make sense in a bipolar kinda way, considering the functionality of the symbiote. I dunno.

I really want it to succeed....because I really really really really want an R-rated Carnage movie sooner rather than later.

Aren't you like 70 years old? It's no wonder you're not into superheroes any more. You're too busy learning to dance the Charleston in effort to impress them flapper girls at the sock hop.

What's confusing about it? People have loved comics for ages now. And we finally have the technology to make them quite realistic on the big screen. Super awesome stuff. Even if you don't like the cheesy dialogue and extremely simple storylines, the aesthetics alone are breathtaking.

If you time-traveled back to 1995 and showed someone Avengers: Infinity War, they'd probably have a nervous breakdown.

Which also makes me wonder about DVD technology....and time travel....

I mean, DVD players existed in 1995. And you could get a basic DVD version of Avengers: Infinity War today....so I wonder if you took that disc back to 1995, if DVD players would even be able to play it yet....I mean, it's just a dvd, right? Not a blu-ray or anything. It should be able to play it. But technology is crazy complicated.

I wonder if how we encode DVD's in 2018 is different than how the players would physically be able to read the disc in 1995. Because it would be technology that is way ahead. DVD player might be all freaked out.

Catch on fire.

Personally, I always thought it would be the trippiest thing in the world to go back to the 1990's....with a blu-ray player and a copy of Avatar....and kidnap James Camerson. Lock him in a room with a TV. Make him watch his own movie from the future.

Because I've seen interviews. He's had the whole story of Avatar cooking around in his mind since the late 80's. He just knew the technology didn't exist yet to make it.

So then for him to see it. Including his name in the credits.....what a trip that would be. To see his dream come to life before he himself was able to make it come to life.

T-t-t-t-t-time paradoxxxx.....

You could always find a DVD player that was made in 1995 and pop a new DVD in it to see if it works.

I wanted to and then I heard it was terrible and not at all related to the MCU so its a hard pass.

Edit: also, @GreenKnight127. DVD players didnt come out until the late 90s. They definitely didnt exist in 1995.

You sure??? I mean, the technology for the Sega Saturn and PS1 existed.

Weren't there DVD movies then? I mean, they woulda been cutting edge. But they had to be out there somewhere.

Maybe 1996 or 1997 instead?

Either way, I never considered going to an ancient flea market and finding a dvd player constructed in the late 1990's to see, out of curiosity, if it could even play Avengers Infinity War.

... cus Marvel did a film using Spider-Man and he's been in the Avengers I'd assume. Sadly though Sony still own the rights to everything Spider-Man when it comes to films so this planned Venom trilogy won't have any connection to MCU.

Sony own the rights for the films though same as anything Spider-Man. They did a deal with Marvel for the use of Spider-Man in Avengers and Homecoming though. I'm not sure what other deals they have but yeah.

Yeah. I know. But it would have been possible that they could have had a deal for Venom, too. But we now know that they didn't. So, there was a slim chance that it could have been part of the MCU, but it turns out it's not. But it does mean that it would make sense that some people could have thought it would be part of the MCU...

Being as the deal was only for Spider-Man and I think that deal is no longer a thing(could be wrong) not really. I dare say though Marvel has done better with Spider-Man then Sony ever has.

I don't necessarily think the movie is going to be very good but I'm using it as an excuse to have a guy's day with my oldest son (he's 12). He really likes Venom in the comics and wants to see the movie so we're going to just have a day where we go grab some food at a restaurant and go see the movie.


Niceee! Even if it sucks....it could be good for being bad.

Besides, I'm sure there will at least a FEW scenes that are extremely good.

Most movie-goers are so jaded these days anyway.

I just want to see Venom tossing dudes around like ragdolls, and his symbiote rippling like the Hulk's skin when he gets shot with machineguns.

Also veeerrrrrry curious if any other Marvel characters will make an appearance.

It's not even related to Spider-Man let alone related to the MCU, tor some reason they thought they could make a movie about Venom without Spider-Man. It's like trying to make a PB+J sandwich and forgetting the peanut butter.

Unless you are referring to characters that are specifically part of the Spiderman franchise and aren't associated with other characters then there won't be. Though I have heard that the mid credits scene really shows that Sony thinks Venom is good enough on his own to warrant a franchise. We shall see, but I pray that this will be another blunder by Sony because we know Marvel can make an awesome Venom movie that would include Spiderman as part of the origin but at this point unless Venom bombs that will never see the light of day.

Anyways this character is so tied to Spider-Man it's insane.

He gets his powers from the symbiote that first attaches to Spider-Man and that is why the suit retains some look that is similar to when Spider-Man used it. Eddie Brock hates Spider-Man from a previous incident and therefore when he gets the suit they both want to take Spider-Man down.

Basically you can't find many villains this reliant on needing their heroic and good counterpart as Venom. People think the Joker needs Batman, nah not even close to the level of Venom and Spider-Man.

I assume they couldn't use Spider-Man or didn't want to due to the deal with Marvel. Still Spider-Man PS4 are doing their own thing where Venom is being used for medical reasons and his host seems to be Harry Osborne first.

While I like Venom the character, the concept of the movie takes away what makes the Venom story interesting.

Spider-man doesn't exist, and both Eddie and the Venom symbiote are just good guys (according to reviews the trailers lie about Venom being an anti-hero, they're straight heroes).

It's the relationship between Spider-man, the symbiote, and Eddie, that makes Venom interesting. Venom isn't interesting as just another guy with powers who fights a generic villain.

Also not really obvious from the trailers, reviews say they apparently tried to make it into a Disney Marvel style comedy, and apparently a lot of the movie was ordered to be edited out by Sony for that purpose.
