Let's do some history. For a hero or anti-hero to have a decent story at least there has to be a story, a motivation, and also a worthwhile villain. In this case they managed to destroy Spiderman's most important villain (Carnage) by including him in a story where the producers, screenwriters and director did not know what to do. The big mistakes: repeat villain; the villain of the first Venom and the one in this film are almost the same. Cletus Kassidy's lover does not use the name Shriek (her character's name) and does not even use all the powers that correspond to her according to the canon. Woody Harrelson's look varies between Venom 1 to Venom 2 which marks a disaster in the aesthetic continuity of the character. Venom's character becomes increasingly unbearable and doesn't generate any sympathy at all. So much so that one begins to miss the Raimi version of this character. Considering the derivation of the character, it is absolutely correct to affirm that Venom will never be able to star in a decent movie since the scripts are by rule horrible, the direction lackluster, the production is not ambitious and the attachment to respect the legacy of the character is non-existent.
