Say What?! - The Enemy Within (And Without)
Comic book movies are most definitely a mixed bag. For every Spider-Man there is an Elektra and a Man-Thing. For every Dark Knight there is a Catwoman and Steel. However, since the former two make more than enough money to subsidize the latter, well constantly be seeing second-rate knock-offs and imitators.
The most recent perpetrator of this offense is Sony as it is trying to put together a solo Venom movie to spin off from the Spider-Man series. Aside from the obvious name recognition, they could use Venom to sate the hunger of those waiting for Spider-Man 4.
But is that reason enough to make a wholly separate film? Is simple impatience on Sony's part really going to make a Venom film that much better? For that matter, can Venom even support a film by himself? Todd McFarlane seems to think he can't and, shockingly enough, I actually believe him.
If Sony were to move forward with a Venom film, would you go see it? Should Topher Grace, who is far from a headliner, still play Eddie Brock or should they find someone new for the role?

I don't really think that they could make a whole movie just about venom. Maybe if they have it fight carnage, but I am very skeptical.
Need more goblin imo teehee
Umm didn't he get exploded in the 3rd film?
Because death is always final in comic books and their film adaptations.
Heh heh.
Unless they go with a he wants out of the black suit where is the story? Unless they give him a good guy to fight where is the story? Am I missing how this would work?
