Ultimate Spider-Man: Venom Issues

>>93926519
I too would like to see Ultimate Venom adapted to the MCU Spider-Man movie.

One problem with the ASM movies was that they made Peter's dad a scientist and created Peter's spider powers which is lame.

Making the Parkers and Brocks create the symbiote adds something special to Peter Parker's personal life (but still allows Peter's spider bite to be accident and that anyone could be Spidey etc)

>One problem with the ASM movies was that they made Peter's dad a scientist and created Peter's spider powers which is lame.
That actually bothered me more than I thought when watching the movie. I'm genuinely curious as to how they're going to use Tom Hardy as Venom considering he's WAY OLDER than Peter in this universe.

>>93926519
ultimate Venom would be cool. him eating people like that war of the symbiotes arc and video game would be terrifying on the big screen

>>93926818
Venom will probably be "connected" to the MCU. As in Sony will make acknowledgements to it but the MCU will ignore them (especially since Venom will be rated R)
Venom/Eddie Brock himself will have little connection to Peter Parker. As will the BlackCat/SilverSable movie and possible Mysterio and Kraven movies

>>93928028
Look I hate Bendis now and his flaws were still present but Ultimate Spider-man was a good title and Ultimate Venom has some of his best writing on the book. I really feel sorry for the people who like Miles because Bendis never gave him a story like this.

>>93928028
>worried that peeps would ignore this thread because of Bendis
This was early-pretty-ok Bendis, when he had his own sandbox to play in before he started fucking the main continuity.

I'm glad /co/mrades aren't completely dismissive of Bendis as I feel many of the current 4chan users are. Bendis during his early tenure at Marvel as well as some of his creator owned comics are some of teh best he's ever put out. His series Powers is one of the best representations of Bendis' writing and Ultimate Spider-Man is easily my favorite Spider-Man series I've read in a while.

>>93928248
He always gets the short end of the stick. I'm glad he wasn't 100% wasted in Parker's Thunderbolts and enjoyed his portrayal in Spencer's Superior Foes of Spider-Man.

>>93928308
Don't say that!
But you're probably right. Last I remember he's currently in Latveria but here's hoping he comes back. If anything, I consider his appearance in the game Ultimate Spider-Man to be the definitive ending on Brock's influence in the Ultimate Universe and the fact that it was penned by Bendis only adds weight to that. I know it technically isn't canon but my headcanon says so..

>>93928308
I'm still mad. Bendis overused Osborn but barely used Eddie. Didn't even give proper closure between him and Peter.

Ugggg. One of Bendis' trademarks is to have a single character give a speech that requires the entire goddamn page to convey. Sometimes they work, but in other times they slow the pacing of the story to a crawl.

If not I still understand, but I consider Bendis one of my favorite writers (assuming he isn't fucking up the title and butchering the characters which is few and far between). There's a lot of potential with him but I feel he lets his success go to his head and he quits tryiing. I feeel its pretty obvious when Bendis is trying vs. when he isn't.

The fact that "the suit" continuiously eats at its host and requires them to "eat" others to keep themselves alive is a horrifying thought that I feel pairs wonderfully with teh Ultimate Universe. I originally thought it was a stupid mechanic but after playing the game Ultiamte Spider-Man on PS2 it added a layer of depth that forced you to continuiously alternate between offensive onslaughts and retreating to eat others to pull you back into the fray.

I can't even imagine what would be going through Peter's head at this moment. He knows firsthand that if he doesn't leave the classroom he's risking the deaths of all those around him, but doing so is only going to make him look like the weird kid and get in trouble at school. The atmosphere is thick with dread and uncertaintly and I love it. Something about villains taking the fight to the hero's work or home fascinates me.

Starting the Ultimate Spider-Man game with this scene was fucking god tier.

>>93929141
I say do it. It is a tad shorter than Spider-Man 2 but I feel was a much more cohesive experience and giving you two characters to play as was god tier. Venom's locomotion jump actually gave me motion sickness the first time I started playing around with it in the same feeling that plummeting off a rooftop in Spider-Man 2 gives. So all in all, DO IT!!!! IT HOLDS UP!!!!

>>93929182
You said it.

>>93929210
Unfortunately, playing as Venom isn't as fun anymore, if only because Alex Mercer in Prototype can do everything he can do and more. Venom ends up feeling like a watered-down version.

Part of me really wants to install Protoype but I'm worried its going to kick my computer's ass. The graphics card is a POS and the drivers fail daily. ALso rocking a 2.8 ghz processor so playing games on 60fps is an ordeal.
Also I still find Venom fun as fuck to play as but I understand that once you get used to Alex Mercer's offensive powers and locomtion abilities it's kinda hard to go back to a characcter with so many more limitations. Just being able to change your appearance to match an enemy and then infiltrating their base before decimating the entire establishment never gets old.

Is it ever explained why they named their cancer cure "The Venom Project"? Seems like a weird choice.

God, this ending was a gut punch. Bendis needs to go back to writing like this. I think many current readers would be floored by what that fan man can produce when he's thoroughly motivated. Ironically, Bendis intially wasn't stoked about doing a Venom story and it ended up becoming one of USM's best arcs without a doubt.

I was actually willing to give Miles a chance but Bendis kept trying to get everyone and their mother to say Peter would be honored to have you pick up the mantle without actually developing his character one bit. In fact, I might even storytime Bendis' original set of issues involving Miles before the incursions happened.

>>93926715
>"Dude, frogs."

This sounds like a meme somehow.

>>93930141
I can't say Miles is a bad character, the only Ultimate comics I had access to were the ones you've already posted, but I just can't get behind killing a character off to replace them with pretty much the same guy.

I think Bendis realized this and decided to have him ressurrected and going off into the sunset with Mary Jane. As stupid as it sounds, wouldn't be surprised if Ultimate Peter and MJ survived Secret Wars and is living on 616 without a care in the world.

Here's the cutscenes with some gameplay if people want to watch. I think the games holds up and I return to it more than Spider-man 2.

1. Ultimate Spider-Man
2. Spider-Man 2 (Console Version)
3. Spider-Man (PSX)
4. Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six (GBC)
5. Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro.

Yep. In the story "Shed" Connors eats Billy and it's every bit as awful as you can imagine it to be.

Also new thread is located here. Picking up with Issue 63 and then picking up "War of the Symbiotes" after that. And then once that's out of the way I'll take a break tonight and if this thread survives till morning tomorrow I'll storytime some more Ultimate Spider-Man/Symbiote Stories.

>>93930808
curt why

>>93932258
Yeah Shed, people said at the time it was great because now the Lizard could be used more as a villain but without the Connors moral dynamic the reason his stories are tense is gone and he might as well be Stegron the Dinosaur man.

>>93929444
They missed a spider symbol on the bottom left. Wish they didn't remove it From Ultimate Venom's final design.

>>93932485

I like how >>93932155 reminds me of when 616 Mary Jane first met Venom. With her seeing Venom's eyes and mistakes him for Peter.

>>93930232
>>93930283
I have only read ultimate spider-man up until around here but I'm currently reading the recent miles issues and It isn't bad. Nothing special. Enjoying it more than ASM right now.

>>93933866
You should watch the cutscenes for the Ultimate Spider-Man game. It explains why Eddie doesn't have the spider symbol when Peter did.

>>93934510
I actually don't remember it being directly spelled out for me. Venom didn't get the symbol until he bonded with the remnants of Spidey's collection of symbiote particles present in his blood stream. So did it involve absorbing traces of Peter's memories as well as his power?

>>93934634
That, I don't know. I was mainly referring to the absorption of the symbiote particles. However, him getting Peter's memories as a result is a very likely explanation.

>>93929102
Gotta say, I love how in Ultimate Venom makes his Spider-Sense go crazy instead of just making it useless. Really drives home how fucking serious this shit is.

>>93932029
Same. Just by Nick Fury being his mentor, I feel like we could've gotten a Peter Parker closer to the comics (or really just closer to Russo Spidey which I thought was perfect) just because the way he interacts with Spidey is so different.

>>93926633
>Ultimate Richard Parker looks like 616 Peter Parker
That's a nice touch.
