[@davidshatto7604]

@chandllerburse737 I think fresh takes on a character like venom keeps it interesting tbh. Plus Eddie wasn’t alluded to in the last game at all so it would have felt so weird to just kind of throw him in this one last minute

[@VADtoys]

Midnight Suns Venom is by far the best adaptation of Venom ever. They actually understand Eddie as a character rather than focusing on just "Blah scary monster". When merged they're essentially a slightly more serious version of the PSX Venom, so about as close to the Lethal Protector comics as you can get.

[@SoxatSea]

I’m so sad I didn’t play more of Midnight Suns, cause everyone had been recommending the Venom DLC. It’s funny cause in the main story he is “Blah scary Monster”

[@thegreatacolyt1277]

@@SoxatSea Goddamn it, son! You go get yourself Marvel's Midnight Suns DLCs! There are best reference not only to Venom storylines but to... oh boy, you just must find this out yourself. Especially with some very unexpected guest appearance. And they make Spider-Man repeat the worst mistake he's ever made in comics, but this time I'm not angry at all, because it's "wow, shit, how did they managed to cram THIS thing in here? old school guys wrote Mignight Suns!"

[@unknownyoutuber2407]

When it comes to Venom's portrayal in the video games, the 2005 Ultimate Spiderman version and Web of Shadows were my favorite before Insomiac's Spiderman 2. It's like Insomiac took the best of both worlds and tried to combine the 2 into 1 while also combining the sick Harry Osbourne story from the Amazing Spiderman 2 and Harry as Venom from Disney's Ultimate Spider-man cartoon. It was so nicely done.

[@SoxatSea]

I actually do like Harry as Venom. Tho they made him so like able it it hurt watching him turn.

[@OtakuBoy2022]

@@SoxatSea Yeah personally, I like Harry as Venom's host than Eddie (not that I hate Eddie or Venom's goofy side, his revenge motivation is pretty shallow compared to Harry's when Norman "dies") Plus, I don't like the double standards of people criticizing Insomniac's Venom for being Avengers level threat with Symbiote invasion as it deviates from comics, but love WoS's for being Eddie and fresh take on Symbiote invasion as well as Mysterio from Shattered Dimensions being multiversal threat.

I’d like to point out that Ultimate Venom isn’t exactly an alien Symbiote. It is a bio-organic suit designed by Richard Parker & Edward Brock Sr to cure cancer. But the suit was incomplete, so instead of fixing the host’s body. The suit devours it. Unless the host decides to feed it with another person.

[@robertkenny1201]

If the Venom solo game rumor is true I hope Eddie Brock is Venom host this time.

[@SoxatSea]

Best venom host!

[@blametheghost]

Ultimate is hands down the best gameplay venom ever, you can jump, you can break peoples backs all Bane style but without the use of your knee, you can eat people, legit the best But personality wise, i love the neversoft venom, he just feels like venom for me instead of insoms venom or most other venom actually Id love a game where we got a neversoft venom with ultimate venom gameplay, maybe the harder difficulties could being back the slowly dying thing from ultimate

[@HassanGigant]

One of my biggest gripes with Insomniac's Venom is that they removed a chance for its comeback since the symbiote got vaporised in the end. I really wanted it to have a chance of becoming the lethal protector in possible future games.

[@Nerdlee-27]

Maybe they will bring them back. I mean they did tease carnage earlier in the game. Maybe through DLC or a comic that’s canon to the PS5 continuity

[@giftheck]

The game sets up the possibility of Venom returning in two ways: -Peter having a piece of the Symbiote still inside him despite not being perfectly fused with Venom. There's no way Harry doesn't have the same thing going on. It could even be used to explain why he's suddenly in a coma right after he was revived. -The fact that Cletus Kasady was able to obtain a sample of the Symbiote suggests that there might be other samples out there.

[@georgehouliaras7239]

Web of Shadows, he is criminally underutilized though. Too bad considering that he is voiced by the same guy who does Harbinger in Mass Effect.

[@speedboom9392]

I don’t think PS1 Venom isn’t objectively the best. I don’t really think there’s such thing as an objective best thing in most cases. But he is objectively the most accurate to what Venom was when he was created. A legitimately threat to Spider-Man who could be a little silly but when not acting as a villain towards Spider-Man is a legitimate goofball who is one of the funniest Marvel characters in history who is trying to be a hero with a not fully developed sense of right and wrong.

Honestly, I’d give it to Midnight Sun’s Venom. Not only was Venom pretty well characterised (and was funny which we don’t get to see much anymore!) but Eddie was too. The way Spider-Man doesn’t trust him fully yet would still try and save him from the Symbiote perfectly incapsulates their relationship imo. Overall, he’s just amazing, spectacular and even, ultimate.

[@MasonTheYoung]

I can’t stand Spider-Man 2’s venom, for such a great game it falls HARD on its main villain. His design is great, but his goal is brain dead and it’s not totally clear how the symbiote works, how much is the host and how much is the symbiote? Venom could have been great, but instead he’s the dictionary definition of basic villain

In my opinion I didn’t like insomniac’s Venom because it really doesn’t make sense how the Symbiote is evil for no reason and his personality is really bland. And also I didn’t like how they just went the easy route saying “the Symbiote makes you evil” when in reality the Symbiote just amplifies your emotions and it can’t make you do something you don’t want to do.

[@lanceams483]

Aw man, you missed the most important video game adaptation of Venom! The one from Disney Infinity! Real talk though, this Venom's pretty cool. The story set he's featured in has him team up with Spider-Man after Green Goblin experiments on him to create his own Symbiote army, which is at least a bit more creative than a kids game like Disney Infinity needed to go. His design is much bulkier than any other figure in the Spider-Man set of characters, making him like the "Hulk" of their play set in a way. Beyond that, as a playable character he can be pretty fun, they have him use his tendrils a lot. Plus, his tongue just flails around no matter what, which depending on who you are adds to his creep factor or makes him look goofy. Definitely not a perfect adaptation but a pretty fun one, so I'd probably place him in B/C tier.

I know that this version (insomiac Venom)divides the public a lot, there are those who love it and those who hate it and those who judge it neither horrible nor perfect. but I like that even though in most cases Venom is not the kind of alien invasion for me it works the reason why here a host does it is Harry who wants to cure the world and the symbiote tries to make this wish come true but in a different way than Harry would like it infects everyone making an alien invasion. I think it's the right narrative choice to go with an alien invasion since the guest is Harry. that we ruin Spider-Man's life and get revenge I think is something that works much more with Eddie Brock and I don't think it would have worked with Harry who despite Harry being angry with Peter in some parts of the game is not at the level of hatred that Eddie Brock has against Spider-Man. but even if it has flaws I love this venom too much. this is my opinion.
