I disagree on that. I wouldn't want this anywhere near MCU. Sony does a good job with Spidey, it's mostly the business interventions that ruin it.
Venom has a ton of anti-hero stories, but personally I would be in for more symbiotes. Thing with Venom is that he is almost always able to beat Spidey. Venom doesn't rampage for the sake of money or whatever, it is vengeance. So I can see why a lack of Spidey lowers hype, but other symbiotes are able to take on Venom 1v1. Plus some of them would be badass to see on the screen imo.
I'm just saying that I dont have a huge issue with this, but I can see why people dont agree.
Do they? Their last three were bombs.
