Sony made Venom and showed Marvel great ideas. A little violent insanity, in the conscious-subconscious, when subjected to a protagonist, synthesizes beautifully to make an anti-hero, and compels an audience to judge an underdog as an entertaining, rare anomaly, aka, a super hero. Now, Marvel, as with many re-invented DC stories, seeks to monetize a reboot-sort of model. As a lover of Marvel, this is sadly disappointing. But at least I haven't had to see Stan Lee appear as a God in this one...yet....
