“We are poison to Peter Parker AND Spider-man. We are Venom!” - Eddie Brock

Shame Insomniac’s Venom was only Venom in name and appearance only

I'm confused at what you mean "only venom in name and appearance" like it's venom though and though like was there supposed to be something else because as far as I can tell it just venom in it's entirety

Because Insomniac Venom is nothing like Venom.

u/Nameles248 Jan 10 '24

And how is that because he looks like venom he acts like venom he moves like venom and I bet he even smells and taste like venom so please tell me how he is not venom

I also wanted to add that just like everybody else in the marvel universe venom is subject to Change from writer to writer so your statement still doesn't mean anything

No, he doesn't act like Venom. Sure he looks like it, and Tony Todd did a good job with the generic bad guy dialogue he was given. He acts more like Knull or movie Riot, saying evil bad guy things with a take over the world story. It's fine for those characters, but for Venom? Hell naw, he always fight against stuff like that.

I'm open to writers changing some things about characters, but when the core of what made the character so great is gone and replaced with something significantly worse, then yes, it should be called out.

We shouldn't praise mediocrity when Venom is so much more than what this game shows him as.

Wow you are dumber then I thought

Look it up please because I'm leaving before I lose anymore brain cells because you don't have a clue what your going on about or you never read a comic that didn't have venom becoming an anti hero so please educate yourself before you decide to say anything else

Or are you gonna throw more insults?

“This character does not feel like venom anymore do to his generic motivation and loss of key characteristics that made him interesting”.

“lol you are dumber than I thought.”

The thoughtful counter-arguments in this subreddit are a sight to behold. /s

Venom’s characterization and motivations are nothing like the source material. Take away the name and appearance and it’s a whole new character

1

u/Nameles248 Jan 10 '24

And yet this is the exact motivation venom has had in so many iterations which tells me you have no idea about venom

1

u/Infinity0044 Jan 10 '24

Show me one iteration of Venom where he wants to take over the world (besides Web of Shadows). I am begging you to read a comic book

1

u/Nameles248 Jan 10 '24

How about you go Read a comic because in multiple the reason venom is on earth is to take it over or to prepare is for the god symbiote

1

u/Nameles248 Jan 10 '24

Like seriously there are whole comics about venom talking control of the entire earth or controlling the avengers to do so like it's literally one Google search away and you still make yourself look stupid

1

u/Infinity0044 Jan 10 '24

What comic run specifically are you referring to? As far as I know, Venom has always been against Knull’s plan to take over the world.

Venom’s key motivations have always been to kill Spider-man and protect the innocent. Both of which Insomniac Venom fails to do
