Lord Liaden Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 A lot of things that were popular during the Iron Age of comics leave me bleh, even blecch. Venom is among the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shadow Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I can live with pouches. Venom on the other hand is one of the most revolting characters ever created! Hard to believe something so disgusting was created by David Michelinie. Still I suppose anyone can have an off day. Was probably McFarlane's idea anyway.

Pattern Ghost Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think there was a vast over exposure to Venom, and that we didn't need fifty more symbiotes in the Marvel universe, but the basic idea is fine. Cool new suit that boosts Spidey's power level, turns out to be psychotic and jealous alien symbiote. The symbiote then defects to jealous and vengeful Eddie Brock and becomes a super villain. That's really not the worse origin story. And the suit/Eddie crazy talk can be funny. Symbiote-a-palooza went too far, though. Venom should have been used much more sparingly. They did tell some decent Venom stories early on, though. Armory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shadow Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 To get this thread off the topic of Venom. What are your predictions for Avengers: Infinity War? I predict that Tony will survive, because RDJ's ego wouldn't have it any other way. I further predict that Bucky will survive, because Stark needs to work with some he doesn't like in the sequel. In that sequel he will realize that Bucky and the Winter Soldier are two completely different people who once shared the same body. This will allow him to finally find closure regarding his parents, and also to forgive Cap who was right all along. My next prediction is that Strange will survive and use the time stone to send all the surviving Avengers to the past to set up a Deus Ex Machina that will undo Thanos victory at the end of Infinity War. And my last prediction is that Cap will not be one of the surviving Avengers. In three more days we'll see how well I did. Anybody else have predictions or comments?

Old Man Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I predict someone will die. I predict Thanos will look like Josh Brolin and not wear armor and no one will care. I predict there will not be nearly enough screen time for all the characters. I predict someone will find an Infinity Stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I predict that no matter what, someone is going to complain about Avengers: IW. And claim it’s the worst movie ever and everyone should boycott it. I also predict that that more than likely I won’t see it in the theaters. That is due to time, money and family, not because of the movie itself. FWIW, I finally saw Wonder Woman about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 The one non-spoiler review I saw said that it was an epic ride with little depth. Lots of activity, but no story. Lots of character interaction, but no character development (except for Thanos). Part of the problem there may be the fact that this movie is only half of a larger whole. At least the "MCU villain problem" appears to have been solved as Thanos and his Black Order are all business. So my prediction is that it will get rave reviews from the core MCU fanbase and from superhero/action movie fans in general, but won't as easily impress critics who are always looking for sophisticated story and rich character development in every movie they see.

Starlord Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 21 Marvel Villains ranked Here's the list, because slideshow lists are horrible. 1. Killmonger 2. Loki 3. Adrian Toomes 4. Hela 5. Thanos 6. Winter Soldier 7. Zemo 8. Red Skull 9. Iron Monger 10. Ultron 11. Ego 12. Ulysses Klaue 13. Alexander Pierce 14. Aldrich Jillian 15. Justin Hammer 16. Kaecilius 17. Yellowjacket 18. Ronan 19. Emil Blonsky 20. Malekith 21. Ivan Vanko I would drop Hela, Red Skull and especially Ultron. I would raise Kaecilius and Klaue. Kaecilius didn't have depth but I thought he was a very believable fanatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
