I’m annoyed but understand the reason to completely simplify Venom’s origin. That being said, Marvels’ Secret Wars should have been made into a movie or CGI cartoon before now. That’s one of the best story lines of comics I have ever read. That’s the one series I was waiting eagerly month to month for.
Problem with trying to do the Secret Wars as a movie is all the intros. You can’t really make a movie that’s just for people who remember the original comic series, so all those heroes and villains (over 50 in all as I remember) would have to be introduced, that could take well over half the movie. Either that or they’d have to chop out most of the characters. While Secret Wars was a great set of comics (we’ll ignore Secret Wars II cause that sucked) I just don’t think it’s filmable.
At least somebody else remembers Venom. Thank you. I thought I was the only one staring at the TV screen thinking they’ve gone back 25 years for a storyline
