OK, this thread is so annoying: fact. Vin Deisel to play a part? Venom in Spidey 3? Punisher a BETTER movie? These are the ramblings of what I like to call fanboy-buffoonery. Vin Diesel is the choice of the uncultured IDIOT.
For such "true fans" to get on their high horses about how crap the Spider-Man movies are, and then suggest that having Venom in number 3 will somehow remedy that (non-existent) problem is beyond a joke.
Rambling on about "betraying" the character of Spider-Man? Oh and I suppose throwing Venom in number 3 won't betray his character either, right? Of course it will. Having ONE movie about Venom is retarded - and only serves to please the slobbering fanboys. Why? Because I've been through this a million times - Venom needs a long birth. Previous villains are created in an accident - Venom is nurtured over a long period to become a villain. If you were true Spidey fans you would realise that Venom is a stupid idea for Spidey 3. Have Eddie Brock and the Symbiote surely as the setup, but save the climax of the story for a later date and don't exhaust it early. So, seeing as there are only likely to be 3 films anyway, Venom looks even LESS likely. Besides, he's an alien - you'll all be crying anyway when Raimi changes that cartoony concept.
Venom = over-rated. "ooh he looks cool he is teh pwnage".
Venom is brilliant, he'd be good on-screen, but Venom needs a two-parter for the time he needs to come to fruition as a villain. The "ME WANTS TEH VENOM NOW HE IS TEH BEST!" Fanboys can go rot in their own sputum for all I care - THEY will end up ruining the character if they pressure Raimi into reluctantly using Venom as a quick-fix.
I cannot believe some people actually like The Punisher. The Punisher was the worst adaptation of a comic book character ever. Wolverine from the X-Men movies acted more like The Punisher than The Punisher.
These people have some monumentally stupid things floating in their heads. I could go on, and on, and on, but it's like talking to a brick wall.
