And they've cut a lot out of the movie too...all Spider-Man references and reducing Keaton's screen time

That was probably the #1 reason I wanted to go see this mess.

Yeesh. This has to be either Marvel seeing the movie and going, "No way do we want this connected at the hip to our stuff!" OR... this might have something to do with the changing/expanded plans and reshoots over on Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness. Like, maybe they want the Venom universe to be its own thing shared with Morbius until whatever it is happens in Multiverse of Madness.

Reshoot the movie, cut the movie...its like no-one has any kind of plan this days.
They just wing and think it'll work somehow.

*frank_one* · 03-23-2022, 08:39 AM

These days big studios are driven by insecurity and social media. There's no real plan.

Spider-Man does not need nor warrant his "own" movie Universe and giving movies to Spider-Man's villains was sort of nonsense to begin with. Routinely turning villains into a protagonist takes away from the villain at some point. It used to be clever - the protagonist villain anti-hero - but now it's just a cliche trope.

~~Sumac~~ · 03-23-2022, 11:29 AM

Not only that, but some of them doesn't work as protagonists at all - like what would be the point of movies about Green Goblin or Carnage?

*Andrew NDB* · 03-23-2022, 11:36 AM

And now you have all these movies with Venom and Morbius and Kraven where we root for the bad guys... then we're supposed to turn around and want to see them fight Spider-Man, for some reason?

*Zulithe* · 03-23-2022, 01:57 PM

I plan on seeing it... don't care how bad it is. I have AMC A-List (can see up to 3 movies in any format a week for a monthly fee), so I'm not technically paying for a ticket anyway. I try to go at least once a week and this is my pick for that week.

If it's worse than Venom 1 or 2, and it looks like it probably will be, at least I'll have more material to write about on the internet

Not only that but also root for Spider-Man to beat them even though we were just rooting for them in their own movies? If anything, Spider-Man would be the bad guy here.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-23-2022, 02:20 PM

The good news will be if these Spider spinoffs fail and fail hard, Sony might be more open to an offer from Disney for all the rights and we can shore up this kind of nonsense.

This sounds awful. Hopefully, if it is awful, Sony will get a well-timed punishment and realize they still need Marvel involved for Spider-Man.

I actually wanted Spider-Man rights to revert back to Sony, after I initially saw Far From Home. Yup, I was ready for it, after that dud. Then Venom and Venom 2 convinced me Sony had still not grown from the ASM 2 days.

Christ. They should be approaching these weird Sony Spider-Man villain spinoff things like Natural Born Killers. Origin story, show us how horrible they are but maybe in a fun way, and then cast them off so we appreciate them as villains but are rooting for Spider-Man to stomp them out. They don't seem to understand that this is a basic thing that is needed.

~~AquaParade~~ · 03-26-2022, 02:36 AM

The villains don’t need their own movies to be built up. Look how excited everyone was to see the classic Spider-Man villains back in No Way Home.

Lean into the Spider-Verse and you can develop a Sinister Six in the meantime there. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man, Venom (audiences already accept it).
