The Official Symbiote Thread

Started by kiekan240 pages

I dunno, I think the animation/CGI used for the Symbiote on its own (when its shown bonding with Parker while he's sleeping) looks really good. But I agree, the costume looks kinda lame. Though, its pretty minute, I think his eyes look pretty cool on the black costume. If you notice, they have this 'infected' look to them, and have a 'virus' style design around the perimeter. But its true, it looks nothing like the comic version, which is a shame.

I agree with the eyes. I noticed that too.
But the reason they look nothing like the comics is this: In Secret Wars #8, Spidey met the symbiote. Sense it has a symbiosis with his biology, it read Spidey's brain patterns and formed a costume based on his fondness for the current Spider-Woman's costume

So, with no Spider-Woman in the Spider-Man movie universe, what would the symbiote base it's pattern on?

Well said!!! I just hope they don't screw up venom!!!

Me to I just hope they don't screw it up and it more look like the T.v. show form the 1990 than the comic book.

That is a well known fact. Yet, is totally avoidable. It was done in both The Animated Series and Ultimate Spider-man. Neither of them ever showed Julia Carpenter as Spider-Woman and managed to keep true to the Symbiote's design. They could have made it in the movie too.

They obviously wanted not to make that move. It would have been fine to keep to the symbiote's original design, but it would have been done through a copy-cat version of the animated series in the 90s. I think by making the symbiote's design the way it is going to be in the movie might be a good move because it'll keep originality in the movies themselves.

Agreed. Having the costume look the same for continuity's sake without having the actual symbiote back story would be a bit weak. Not much, but a bit. I can get used to this costume.

It seems like that in the trailer the symbiote never actually touches peters skin, it seems to just attach itself to his costume and he is able to rip it off just like a regluar suit ehat are your thoughts on this?

Could i have a nice big pic of spideys symbiote hands from the trailer.

He's in the bell tower, if you didn't notice. Remember how symbiotes fall apart and degrade around high sound frequencies? Remember the end of the Alien Suit Saga in TAS where Spidey was in the bell tower, and the sounds from the bell ripped the symbiote from him?

Yes I know, but when he was in the bell tower in the comic and TAS and he got the symbiote off of him it was in its natural form not just a regular costume.

C a n n o n is this what you are looking for?

needs pics

Hey, it started off good. I'm a fan of Reilly.

About the symbiote augmenting the powers of it's original host is not true. the Venom symbiote has had at least 1 other host because when spidey found it, it was in prisoned for attempting to bond with it's last host

I guess they have never really cleared that part up. If I was Eddie Brock i would beat up my enemies and then then the symbiote absorb their powers. hehe

That's probably just a canon error. Some writer added that in to make things more interesting. Where'd that image come from?

It's from Planet of the symbiotes #3 where the Venom symbiote explains to eddie how symbiotes usually just take over their hosts and force them to take risks so they can feed of of their adrenalin, but it was more interested in bonding and creating a relationship with it's host, so it was judged to be insane and imprisoned, then accidentally sent to battle world where spider-man set it free.... I know it's a weak storyline but I thought that I would bring it up.

Hmm... sounds campy, but at least it's a backstory. In a society that's made up of semi-sentient symbiotes, who deemed this symbiote (whatever it's "name" really is) crazy? I mean, if their race is made up of liquid-ish beings, how do they hold these trials?

Also, why does the symbiote look like Venom w/o the big white spider? I was under the impression that Venom received his looks (ex, the big white eyes) from Spidey.

I love pointing out holes in writing sometimes, lol. I'm a jackass...
