Hmm, I seemed to have never read the original story arc then. The comic world tends to become convoluted as time passes, and as a young lad, all I did was read and enjoy what comics I found - it was never to the point of being analytical or checking for cohesiveness. My favourite aspect of Spiderman was Venom. I read the comics because I was completely and utterly infatuated with this character.

It would seem that I read the comics that took a more hulking, bizarre view of what Venom was. It could have been a strange, random off branch series that ran for a while - I don't particularly know or care. I simply recall Venom being what he was as I saw him then - ten or more years ago - and he doesn't quite match with the one depicted in the movie.

I like the Venom shown in the comics I read as a young boy much better. He was stranger, and the way he dripped like thick ink just rang better than crawling goop to me - but that latter point is a matter of personal opinion, nothing more. And the tongue. I loved the tongue.


But in the end, I can see how the Venom I read might not make sense in the movie, especially if they decided to draw from the original arc of the story instead.



On a side note, I do not believe they would be able to bring Carnage into the next films, as he was utterly insane. It would have to rated R to truly give the scope of what madness Carnage was.

Additionally, Venom is now kaput....
