As a character, he mainly exists to sell T-shirts to angsty teenage boys, but his solo books have never been big sellers and even toy sales don't support how massively popular he's supposed to be. And there hasn't been much success in growing his popularity towards people who weren't reading comics or watching cartoons in the early-90s. I'm paraphrasing what the author of the article said, but it was something like: "Venom, as a character, is not popular. The Venom LOGO, however, is very popular. But outside of posters and T-Shirts bearing that logo, Venom isn't a very successful character."

Tough to argue with. Both Venom and Carnage are very much a product of their time, both celebrating and parodying late-80s/early-90s excess. Trivia Fact: Even around 1993, studios were trying to make a Venom solo movie, with no trace of Spider-Man. And even then, there were people in the room going, "Why would you ever do that? That's an awful idea."

That's interesting! I mean, all I know of the character is the badass design, the admittedly 90's vibe, and... that's about it. He's a recognizable member of Spidey's rogues, but he's no Doc Ock or Green Goblin.

I can't say I see his logo around much, though. Not like the Punisher, for instance. That skull logo sh!t is EVERYWHERE. Literally 1 out of 3 trucks in my city have it somewhere on the body, bumper, windows... at least one, sometimes two or three on the same vehicle.

It's great that this movie attracts all kinds of generations.

Plus I’ve seen Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road before, he’s a good actor. Can’t wait for Venom!

"A complete failure" and "as bad as Catwoman."

https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/...-bad-catwoman/

Wow.

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-02-2018, 12:02 PM

I'd be lying if I said I didn't see this coming.

*Autbot_Benz* · 10-02-2018, 12:44 PM

I think its time for Marvel to get the Spider-man Full Rights Stone and add it to the Marvel Infinity gauntlet. If the movie is terrible that is. I will watch it when its a 5 dollar blu ray

They really need to. I mean, sh**, how about Disney just trades Alien and Predator to Sony for Spider-Man en masse? That seems fair.

Wow.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!

Yeah, in my humble opinion, Marvel should've played hardball and not taken partial rights. Full rights or GTFO.

Well, I have to admit... everybody could see it coming. Except, for some reason, Sony.

My perspective on Sony Pictures completely shifted after those Spider-Man e-mail leaks from a few years back. They're just unbelievable to read and give you some insight into how some of these studios actually run.

Yeah, when it was revealed that all of those E-mail leaks were 100% accurate... yikes! I'm surprised Pascal is still working.

Lady Gaga fans are posting FAKE Venom reviews to try and bolster support for "A Star is Born."

https://www.comicbookmovie.com/venom...s-born-a163857

That, or this is a FAKE narrative to explain why there's so many BAD reviews of Venom already.

Seriously. She must be great at getting talent on board or negotiating deals, because this is an actual quote from one of her e-mails, caps and all -

"LETS TALK THIS IS REALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT MATT PITCHED ME THIS AM ABOUT VENOM WHICH HE DOESNT THINK IS A MOVIE ON ITS OWN BUT THAT SPIDERMAN ANS SS ARE THE TEAM IN THE NEXT MOVIE HE GOES TO THEM FOR HELP/......MAYBE FIGHTING CARNAGE IR HE WEARS THE BLACK SUIT BUT ALL THE SS GUYS THINK ITS LAME AND HE TAKES IT OFF AND IT FALLS INTO THE WRONG HANDS"

It's hilarious. No disrespect to her as a human, she's probably a wonderful person, but why is she the person in charge of choosing the direction for the movie? It just makes zero sense.

*sdp* · 10-02-2018, 05:30 PM

To be fair the MCU was never going to make a Venom movie and I don't think we'd see Venom either.

Nah, that's more of Disney's thing with their clout while the blogsphere actually has the power to bully Sony. If Venom had any politics it'd be defended like it were the new TDK.

Suicide Squad bad of Fanta4tic bad?

No, there is a good movie in there somewhere but it is literally a symbiote that couldn’t stay locked to its host. It seems like a movie that would have made before they knew how to do comic book movies right. Some good stuff but the writing...woof
