Even in the comics they used his one dimension to an advantage. He's over the top and crazy, but that's why he was not used by himself very often in a story arc. They used him and the symbiote to create things like Shriek becoming Scorn, and Cosmic Carnage. He's (obviously) a chaos factor.


He's not deep enough to be the single villain, but I still contend if they did it right he'd be good in a movie with multiple villains. You could have the more calm calculated villain juxtaposed against Cletus Cassidy, who's just plain lost it and wants the world to suffer like he did as a child. Most villains are relatable as "good people with twisted views" (ala Magneto). Carnage just hates and wants to see others in pain. That level of crazy can be very powerful if it's done right.

Plus, now even the casual movie goer knows Venom. Some of the ground work is laid.


Shrug.
