Confirmed as the actual villain.
I like how there's an episode where they get sick of him saying it and it's actually him that time

In every interview I've seen with her, she always give off the impression of being slightly drunk/coked up, which is rather concerning.

I'm still trying to figure out where all this venom hate came from. Feels like people who're just mad he's more popular than other spider-man villains even after all this time.
Welll, there is a reason Tom wears a CGI-Standincostume in the released behind the scenes footage
Maybe its because he went to become a laughable x-treme edgelord character

Not at all. Far better spider-man villains though.

Happened pretty early on too.
Yes. Maybe in 15 years when they dont reboot every third movie.
haha
Yeah, on his third appearence. Seriously, everyone who is curious why people hate Venom should just read the article I have posted earlier. Yeah, its about a hour of reading, but it explains it very well.
Also, my theory is that most people who love Venom that much were mostly exposed to him through adaptions, not the books.

This is better than the alternative.
Pretty much.

SO it is the fact that he face slammed Felicia into the wall face first then?
Look the concept of extreme anything was created in the early 90s man. You had to be there. The early venom stuff was great.
The venom hate really should and does come from the Spider-Man 3 version of the character.
The animated versions were fantastic. For the record.
I feel Pascal wouldn't be on press tours confidently declaring this shit unless there wasn't already a legal basis for it in Marvel and Sony's contract.
Thats the case. Spawn started of to became a hit and they looked at the stuff they could turn into their Spawn. Venom was already popular, so they took him, turned him into a dark hero who killed in one the issue the group of people he claimed to spare in the other and had their other most popular superhero show up every now and then.
I have only seen the New Spider-Man show but I complelty agree. My love for Venom (before I actually read comics) started with this show.

I was 100% exposed through the books at he time and stand by what I have said. Sure, marvel didn't know what to do with him but there were spurts of good stories using him. If you mean to say that aesthetically he was awful, well that is an opinion.
Bruh
Most arent all people
You are of course allowed to like Venom and also love the stories with him. I am not saying anything against that.Just_myles

Understood. You make a good point. Macfarlane was a gift and a curse.

This movie is worth it only for Tom Hardy on the venom suit. Hot af.

Disney is pretty hands-off and doesn't decide the creative direction of the MCU, Marvel Studios does.
There is also no rule that anything under Disney has to be family-friendly and ignores that Disney themselves have produced and distributed R-rated movies (under the Touchstone Pictures label for example).
Wasnt Disney distributing Pulp Fiction?

If this is what Sony is planning then they were smart.

Aren't the Netflix Marvel series part of the MCU? And don't they skew towards R?
TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared

They are, but as of yet they don't cross over with the films.

But people are saying Disney wouldn't allow an R rating is why I bring it up.
Disney doesn't own Marvel Television, I don't think?
Disney owns all of marvel.

It's a shame Sony got people talking about venom when the true MVP that is kraven is not even being mentioned.
Marvel Television doesnt report to Disney, only to our dear friend Ike and is part of Marvel Entertainment.
Studios does report directly to Disney and is a own company.
Oh yeah, of course. Apologies.
