Is your favourite movie based on anything?
A book
A TV show/cartoon/anime
A comic/graphic novel/manga
A toy
A stage play/musical
A video game
A true story
A radio series
Something else
It's a sequel/prequel/remake
Nope, it's a completely original movie
Lol! It's not like I have some kind of problem...
...not at all XD
The Venom symbiote being Peter's toxic ex is something I always found hilariously on point. Down to other hosts being rebounds. Still, ngl, Go Down Swinging ended up in a good place for them; moving on, burying the hatchet, being able to work together if needed... That thing needs to be used in adaptions ngl, it IS great finale material that can tie goblin and symbiote storylines.
That's part of the problem with comic adaptations as a medium. There's a lot of really good stuff happening every week in the comics, but these characters and ideas are decades old and build on top of each other's history. So a lot of things are hard to bring into adaptation because there's so much groundwork that has to be laid. And every time you reboot or start a new adaptation, that means starting over fresh.
This is a problem that can be somewhat mitigated by skipping out on origin stories but even then, you can't just begin at Kraven's Last Hunt. That cannot be your first Spider-Man story in your new adaptation, or even your first featuring Kraven. Even if we're all familiar with the idea of Kraven, it's not going to land if we just met this interpretation of Kraven five minutes ago.
This is why the film versions of iconic villains often fall flat. In film, there isn't time to build the history that makes these character dynamics so powerful.
Venom: There Will Be Carnage isn't able to capture even a smidgen of the complex dynamic between Venom and Carnage because there isn't time. We can't make 57 different films featuring Venom, Spider-Man, and Carnage going head-to-head and cultivating a profound relationship between one another.
Cinematic villains have to be disposable to an extent, because we're probably never going to see that guy again after this one movie. There are 500 other villains in this guy's Rogues Gallery who need to be adapted and like 3 movies per decade to fit them into.
Even when we try to see that guy again, time happens. Heath Ledger's Joker was supposed to return in Dark Knight Rises to build on the development he had with Batman in Dark Knight. But the passage of time said no.
This used to be easier to do with TV adaptations, because shows that get 5 seasons with 24 episodes per season have a lot of time to lay groundwork and develop relationships with recurring nemeses. But in the streaming age, where TV shows are like 6-10 episodes long and often dedicate those episodes to telling just one decompressed serialized story, we've basically replaced episodic television with bigger movies.
It's just. It's really hard for any other medium to match the storytelling density of comics, which can tell dozens of individual stories for a given character per year. We always want to see the biggest and most hype stories adapted to other mediums - but those stories often end up having to take a lot of shortcuts to compensate for the fact that those stories stand on the shoulders of decades of history and we only have like two movies we can spend setting up the Big Event everyone's here to see.
