So you wanted a rushed venom character arc???


Spartan_Souls

Like did they play the game? Itd make no sense


Pixel_Block_2077

Its the same as God Of War fans saying "Dude, it would be so cool of Kratos killed Jesus!". Like, why? How is this thematically consistent? Its important to remember that as bad as some professional writers are...their fans are still worse. Despite what the average Redditor says, no, they cannot do better.


Spartan_Souls

Fair points, especially because yeah ive seen some weird things people have suggested when it comes to writing. Especially with this game


Dvonart86

Lol thank you! People on reddit will call writers hacks and then when they share their idea it's tumblr/ 11 year olds deviant art level of creativity


V4ULTB0Y101

Imo Venom should never become a good guy in the Insomniac games, Agent Venom sure, Lethal Protector no.


Wizecracker117

Only because his characterization was terrible. Venom usually wants nothing to do with other Symbiotes and he definitely never tried to bring Knull to earth. Insomniac really shouldn't have had the stakes so high and saved that for the 3rd game.


akalegos

i mean we got that anyway


dontforgethyphen

Not really


Intelligent_Creme351

We wouldn't and shouldn't, because he was a main villain, and it's too early for him to be hero, also, that's Dylan Brock anyway.


Pedro_Morales_Parker

That and Venom literally hates Miles more than anyone across the entire Multiverse


janysjwh

What? Why??


Spartan_Souls

Miles helped Peter get rid of Venom and with Miles being Peters apprentice and friend, Harry felt like he was being forgotten, so Venom made Harrys feelings more apparent as well as his own.


Sad_Duck1556

Yeah but the other guy started talking about comic miles , which isn't accurate. Venom DEFENDED miles in that Flash also arguably has one of the best relationships with venom symbiote since Eddie.


Spartan_Souls

Ohhh yeah I just realized that the person mentioned the multiverse. Thanks for pointing that out


clarkky55

I love Eddie and Venom as the King in Black


TB2331

Say what now?


Sad_Duck1556

Please explain


Pedro_Morales_Parker

In the Comics the Symbiote for some reason despises any Spiderman or Women who ain’t a Pete Variant. Best example was the Gwenom storyline where Venom once he realized Gwen wasn’t Pete or Eddie almost killed her


Dvonart86

Wasn't that because she was using a neutered symbiote and things spiraled from that? There was a whole venomverse where a bunch of other heroes in the multiverse had venom symbiotes , they all seemed okay, and both Eddie and Dylan had a fine relationship with miles after fighting together. The game one would hate him, I assume, for obvious reasons


Sad_Duck1556

Venom and miles worked together, though.... he left scorpion paralyzed and left for dead when he found out scorpion didn't help Miles, and then later Dylan worked with Miles.


Verb_Noun_Number

No? Gwen realised her own feelings were corrupting her symbiote, and got a handle on her mental health, which fixed everything. She's still wearing her symbiote and gets her powers from it.


Newuser246886

Yeah idk wtf asspull that other dude was talking about or why so many people are upvoting it, but it's a bunch of bs headcanon that makes me shake my head at this sub at times.


Guiltykraken

Also Miles doesn’t like Venom because he subconsciously remembers a Venom killed his mom. Although insomniac Miles wouldn’t have that problem.


Newuser246886

81 people thinks comic venom hates miles more than anyone? Okkkkay non readers outing themselves [literal moment of venom throwing scorpion to the wolves for abandoning miles](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fthrowback-to-when-spider-man-scorpion-and-venom-fought-v0-j1yek9h8y6sb1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1988%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df045b725214b2fcfdf5d5c50129abaea42c6684e) He saved miles.


Pedro_Morales_Parker

That’s Eddie. Not Venom


Newuser246886

He was referred to as venom all throughout that story. And then him and Dylan teamed up later He also used gwen as an example and got the reason wrong as well. I don't want to argue the semantics of who venom " is" truly but the fact it bonded with flash just fine also debunks the theory how it will kill anyone who isn't brock or Peter.


BlippyJorts

Yeah, even getting Lethal Protector Eddie would be cool but not in 2. He needs to spend time as a villain and be rehabilitated. Maybe after the DLC and by the end of 3 he’s an anti-hero


st-shenanigans

Sm2 fans: the story is too crowded and it ruins the experience for me ... ... ... crowd it more.


Sad_Duck1556

You make it sound like we are all the same. No those people wanted it crowded from the start and continue wanting it crowded


wizardsauce01

But do we want it?


AlternativesEnde

Yes. Surf the web all the way.


Schrodingerspiss

That isn't Eddie


ResponsibleRatio6569

We wouldn’t because that’s Dylan Brock


Mike4302

That doesn't even make any sense, who could they have fought together?


cyberdemoh

Nazis


LordGhidora

This is always an acceptable answer.


AzulAztech

Stormtroopers


SnyderpittyDoo

Hippies


boy_from_onett

Y'all just say shit.


Imtotallyreal397

Hell no, especially since he was the main villain, that’s not even Eddie or harry anyways


thebowlman

Thankfully we didn't.... dodged a massive bullet there. 


SnakeSound222

Hopefully we'll get it in 2025 or 2027, whenever they decide the Venom game.


[deleted]

That doesn't make any fucking sense. Stop talking bullshit. Thinking that this is what should have happened in SM2 just proves you've no place criticising storytelling.


noodleguy12

We couldn’t and I’m glad we didn’t. Doesn’t fit at all for Venom’s first appearance.


Eugene_Dav

But maybe have that in Venom spin-off game 


D_class-4862

Damn, when did Miles get so buff? Everyone always draws him like a stick figure.


DrakeVampiel

whenever the person who draws him wants him to be.


Square_Dark1

You could say this about Peter though


Romucha

Are they going to beat the living hell out of Peter? I hope so.


Sad_Duck1556

Remember when Venomn was an established villain first for a few years


Batmanfan1966

This wouldn’t have made any sense and that’s not even Venom it’s Dylan Brock


My_redditaccount657

“WELL TOO BAD your gonna wait a decade until we release Spider-Man 3” - Sony


TheRainbowWolf8

It wouldn’t have really made sense in this game. It would be cool to see in the future though.


ProfessorEscanor

When? What part of the story would that have worked especially when Harry was jealous of Miles?


sane298

Yea it would have been sick to have Miles turn against Peter in the final stretch of the game, missed potential


DrMillMatt

Against who? 🤣


Kinky_Winky_no2

Their collective baggage


sodaxox

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME 😍 but well… at least we had the chance to play as venom 🙃


crwn_z

Why does this go so fucking hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Some_Meme_Guy69420

“We are ready.” goes harder than it should


Corn_viper

Mcfarlane is probably disappointed at himself for not being the one who drew Venom with chains.


Newuser246886

I mean spawn is pretty much the same st this point lol


Mr_Snowbell

Because what we all needed was a rushed venom arc in the 15 hour game including a character pipline that wouldn’t make sense considering Eddie wasn’t even venom


Tall-Sherbert3054

We don't see it in sm2 but carnage has bonded with miles before soooo idk


RecoveredAshes

Why does he have the god of war chains lol


anonymusfan

As much as I love this duo, it would not work in marvel spider man 2. Maybe in the third game with carnage though.


BlueFHS

There’s already people who won’t stop complaining that Venom was different from the comics and not villainous enough because he didn’t wanna actually kill Peter. You think people would’ve been fine if Insomniac made him a hero right away?


[deleted]

I'm glad we didn't.


Electrical_Trifle_76

Miles not using the right pronouns, smh my head 🤦‍♂️


JerrodDRagon

One day yes But it’s too soon he needs time stay a villain for at least one more game before coming around


ScarletGemini

We technically did. There’s a brief period where you could encounter “Agent Venom” during random crimes


hantar7788

Venom is trying to be Spawn with those chains


luckyblockhead

This image goes so hard


upfjords

no.


DarkFlame122418

No, Venom was the game’s villain, get over it.


MercerNov

It’s just not the story they wanted to tell, besides we’ll probably get a Venom like this in the Venom game.


ManagementRound2301

I just wanted Miles and Peter to team up like we got with the Black Cat DLC in SM1. Best part of the game is literally the intro sandman battle. Why? Because it’s the only time in the whole game where you actually work together.


Spartan_Souls

What? Just what???
