VENOM Movie Coming From Sony - Not A Joke! - Page 14

The Marvel Legends Monster Venom wave has been out for a while

*Shark_Blade* · 08-04-2018, 07:50 AM

Yeah I think around 2 weeks.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-09-2018, 05:31 PM

Rated PG-13, because Sony wants to parlay Venom into the MCU at Marvel/Disney.

That seems... stupid. You can be sure Deadpool 3 will have him front and center in the MCU and that's an R-rated franchise. And the sole benefit to Venom being made at Sony was that they could make it R-rated without any interference from Disney... but they're not even doing that? Lame!

*Andrew NDB* · 09-13-2018, 05:42 PM

Now it's officially PG-13 rated.

Interesting. I wonder what was cut for that to happen? I sense a Rated R cut DVD to get more sales on the DVD market and making families happy while in theaters.

*Shark_Blade* · 09-13-2018, 06:53 PM

Deathly Hallows is PG13 too so this is good.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-26-2018, 11:28 AM

Tom Hardy on the rating and playing with 900 characters:

It was never going to be R-rated. And the director believes there is no adult audience for Venom (and has never heard of Deadpool):

Here's a clip of Venom taking on a Swat Team.

I'm no fan of the way the MCU is handling things but come on, just take these franchises away from Sony, at least the cookie cutter crap Marvel puts out is decent even if creatively bankrupt. And it's not like the MCU would give us an R rated Venom either.

This and the animated movie would need to bomb, I can see the animated movie doing badly but not this, I think enough people might still go and watch it.

*MikeandRaph87* · 09-29-2018, 04:02 PM

I am because Venom is one of two Spider-Man villains I love. Yet Spider-Man needs to be involved or an essential element is lost to Eddie Brock. While Tom Hardy has the physique of Eddie, unlike Topher,but why not dye his hair blonde to play the part? Those are two essential parts to Eddie Brock. Maybe I am being picky here.

Venom does look accurate despite the spider symbol controversy however.

*Vicky82* · 09-29-2018, 04:05 PM

I just noticed this is rated 15 in the UK.

I'm going to see this on Wednesday.

Yeah, it woulda been a bigger surprise if he wasn't in the movie in some capacity. I mean, who even is the main villain in this one if this guy is a post-credit cameo?

~~AquaParade~~ · 09-30-2018, 06:02 PM

There’s really nothing exciting to me about seeing a post-credits scene with even an anticipated character. It feels too much like bait to get fans clamoring for a sequel than anything else.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-30-2018, 06:33 PM

I'unno who I'd have picked for Cletus, but I know for sure it wasn't him. Whose idea was that, I wonder?

Meh. This thing shouldn't exist. Venom in a Spider-Man-less world is like Dr. Doom without the Fantastic 4. You've lost everything that makes the character interesting, so who really cares? Bad decisions all-around.

He may not be wrong. I once read an article that made a very compelling case for Venom not being anywhere near as popular as people think. 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."

Because... because for some reason it's easier to tease the villain fans would want to see, than to actually deliver same villain?

Makes no sense.

It'd be like watching the Red Hood fight Condiment Man and the Ten-Eyed Man, and then in the end credits scene, Joker laughs in his Arkham cell.

What the hell, guys?
