There is your link.

@Mrcool210 - Yea but Raimi was director. All the villains in the Raimi series were great except Venom who is shit anyways.

@Mrcool210 - Venom can't be interesting be he isn't. Neither is Eddie. Eddie has never been interesting. Nor Mac when he was Venom.

What makes Venom interesting is the symobite. Not the host unless it's Flash.

It's like the opposite of the Lantern rings.

@Mrcool210 - Eddie's motive was stupid in the comics.

>Dude finds out Sin Eater's name from shady source
>Dude publishes it
>Spidey catches real Sin Eater
>Brock fired
>Brock hates Spidey

It's stupid. Venom would be a far more interesting character of Eddie was just some good person who got caught by the symbiote & the symbiote takes control of him using his body as a host. Eddie shouldn't have any say. The symobite is far more interesting than Eddie.

@Mrcool210 - I've always found the only way to make Eddie interesting is be a bit Two-Face influenced.

My take would have Peter meet Eddie in college. They met a bit after Gwen's death. Peter doesn't talk to Harry bc everytime he sees his face, he sees the face of the man who took Gwen away. During this time, we have black suit Spidey

Eddie and Peter become close and good friends. I even had this idea where in a semester after, Eddie meets MJ (intro to MJ) and dates her. I thought of it after, and I kid you not, I saw this girl around campus who was fine who I'd talk to and found out her BF was my lab partner in a class who I'm friends with lol. If it can happen to me, it can happen to Parker luck.

Don't worry, there is no love triangle. After losing Gwen, Peter wouldn't want to seperate anyone. And when Pete is with MJ, Venom won't be a love sick puppy. So anyway somehow the symbiote goes to Eddie after Peter rejected it. The symbiote wanted to take someone from Peter and use them as a prisoner. Eddie is trapped & can't fight. He's in a coma like state since the symbiote is using his body as a host. We keep seeing Peter try to save Eddie like Bats tries with Two-Face so we can someday see the return of a character we all grew to love who under certain circumstances became bad. I wanted Venom to both be evil and sympathetic. The alien is evil while Eddie is sympathetic.

I also thought because of how long the ooze was on Peter, it grew more and more powerful. Because of this, Separating it from Eddie is near impossible.

I wanted Venom to be more of a horror figure and think I somewhat succeeded

@LEVITIKUZ - That actually sounds pretty good, If I was doing a Spider-Man series with Venom in it (Which would come much later, Man Spider would be the first big storyline I did) I would probably use Venom to explore their senses of morality. And what power can do to a person, someone like peter the symbiote tried to corrupt him but failed, despite its intoxicating power, however with Eddie it was successful, them finding their common ground in Spider-Man.

But if this exact story that you posted is what we got in a Spider-Man movie, I would be all for it.

@LEVITIKUZ - the only time they did a good venom was the spectacular spiderman cartoon of the ultimate comics version

@Mrcool210 - That one blew my mind the most. Usually I hear about these little facts somewhere and somehow, but this one was news to me. Spiderman 2 is one of my favorite CBM's ever, and it shocked me to find out it was almost a complete disaster. Also, imagine if Arad hadn't interfered and Spiderman 3 was good? With only Sandman and New Goblin as the villains and Eddie Brock in a minor role (which probably would've meant they wouldn't force the whole symbiote storyline either), it could have been amazing, and then in Spiderman 4 we would finally get Lizard and Venom as the villains for an epic conclusion to an epic series. So sad.
