Say What?! - The Enemy Within (And Without)

venom-spiderman-3.jpg

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

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?

Comic of the Week

Review: Stormwatch #1 Stormwatch #1, the first of DC's new 52 to feature LGBT characters (before the reboot, at least) is out to add a new cosmic dimension to the post-Flashpoint universe. There isn't much to be said for our beloved broship yet (though the last page shows a handshake between Apollo and Midnighter and promises a "Big Bang"), but the issue is a great gauge for whether or not you'll want to stick with the series to see the romance purportedly unfold....
