I'm holding up Sony pulls thru with some MCU Spidey shit in the end
This is a joke right? 5'9 is avg height yes, but 180 AND dense musclar build is not pretty small by any means.

Hey, in somewhat related Spider-News: While Sony is off trying to chart some sort of new path with Spidey characters,
Michael Giacchino is working the classic theme into his score for Homecoming.

Agent Venom > OG Eddie Brock. That's a fact.

oh my fuck
That's actually pretty good. Just watched Vice Principles and I can see it.
Eddie>Flash. Flash was always just a "flavor of the month" host. It's always meant to return to Eddie.

Ace. Hopefully none of the tracks sound exactly like his Star Trek theme.

Interesting choice. Love Hardy so I'm definitely down to check this.

Most composers have tracks in their scores that are "like" tracks in their other scores. They'll do it sometimes for their fans to go "oh hey that sounds familiar!" but it's not like some grand instance where it makes the score lesser on its own. His scores may have one or two tracks that sound familiar but I can't say that any of the tracks sound "exactly" like his Star Trek theme. Similarities? Yes, but again I could pin that on most great composers. John Williams does it, James Horner did it, James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, etc.
It's not like Giacchino is the only one that ever references his own past work and there's still a ton of great original music in his scores.

Aw, that's neat but I was expecting the Elfman score. Now that would get me hyped.

When I think "big", I picture 6'3 and 250lbs. With that being said, Hardy can definitely bulk up, so I'm sure he'll look the role.

But that means he'll be based off Garfield's Spiderman since Toby Maguire's Spiderman already had Venom. That's definitely not a good thing.

True. Just hated parts of the Doctor Strange ost.

That's fine. But 180lbs on a 5'9 body is not "pretty small", that's just nonsensical. 6'3 250 is huge to most people, not big. Big is 6'3 ~200lbs. It's all relative to height within reason

So ideally we're getting this on-screen right? That's like the best way to do a standalone movie that needs no connection to Spiderman, Marvel, or any superheroes
No, Space Knight Venom
Why can't they? Venom had his own internal struggle before he went at Spiderman. They can meet in the end credit of the movie.

i dont remember but did people like this venom design in SM3 back in the day?
I hope this movie takes it to another level with the creepy eyes and mouth
I know its too much to hope for cuz Hollywood but I would love it when he gets the suit, he spends the majority of the runtime in suit and not show his face.

Remove the texturing and make him more jacked and it would be pretty good
They will eventually or they can do Venom vs Carnage first

It's an alien. The symbol on its chest stands for "hope."
What did he mean by this?
Member
"Why spiders, Eddie?"
"Spiders frighten me. It's time my enemies shared my dread."

Just adapt Remender's run with Jack as the villain. Amazing espionage/horror story with pathos.

Start the movie right after he's been fired thanks to Peter Parker, have him solve some sort of conflict while learning about his powers, and end the movie with him deciding he's going to get revenge on Spider-Man. That's one of many ways it can be done.

That was fine. Problem was he had his mask peeled off for over half his lines so whats the point.

Fuck,why do people say they can't do this without spidey in this movie?
Who says they cant have him?
Okay I am fully onboard with that.
