Symbiocide

@VenomousDragon: For me, I rather see Eddie being treated like a dog than not see him at all.

That would be horrible (for me) to have him still be Anti-Venom, and then never actually see him do anything thing. People complained about how the original Toxin just upped and disappeared and was never given any stories. I'd rather see Eddie go through hell and back than to have him disappear from comic books for 5 years (Toxin) or 10 years (Scream, Hybrid). I just rather see him in some capacity even as Toxin than to have him all happy, fine and dandy as Anti-Venom, but off-screen and never, ever used all the time.

@hectorsquall:

Well, you already know the gist of what I think (I posted on your blog). Its cool that you feel as strongly against the direction and handling of Eddie Brock, as much as I feel strongly for this series of events for Eddie Brock.

I agree with Circle of Four being a waste. And I agree tremendously on Patrick Mulligan's fate. I would have rather Pat's fate had been left open. Eddie isn't going to stay Toxin forever; he'll either eventually go back to being Venom after a long series of character-status-quo changes, or he'll get yet another symbiote, or he'll just lost Toxin. Pat could have been spared. I would have liked to see the original Toxin somewhere down the road, or at LEAST kill him in an actual comic, where we can read and see it. Well, since it didn't happen in any comicbook form, and was explained to us off-the-table, I wouldn't argue continuity if Pat was brought back...off-panel, non-written deaths don't count. Vague deaths that happen and are alluded to IN A COMIC (like a character his crushed by flaming falling debris, but no one is able to retrieve the body, suggesting that maybe they survived and scuttled off somewhere off-panel)...THAT counts. Just saying "Oh, Debra Whitman? Killed herself...didn't take place in any issue...I just declared it"...that can be easily ignored. I can't quite agree with your feelings towards Eddie as Toxin. There's no telling what hell the Toxin symbiote suffered while Blackheart had it. It could have greatly changed for the worse, forgetting all the positive life-lessons Pat taught it, being forced to turn violent and angry. And since Venom DID try to kill it (twice...back when Eddie was still Venom and in Flash's Venom book), it would naturally regress to a vicious state. That's believable. And Eddie has no control of what he's doing as Toxin, so seeing Eddie regress from being something decent to something crazy again isn't his fault.

Well, I'm not trying to force you to agree with me, just throwing out my thoughts. We do agree on everything else.

I'm thinking Ultimate. Won't we be neck-deep in Ends of the Earth in 616 by July?

Must be some rule in the universe where every single Spider-Man game has to have a symbiote character and Rhino as a boss all the f........ time!

Its amazing how Doctor Doom can isolate the part of Hulk's mind that controls transformations and clone a new body for Banner, yet no one in the Marvel universe knew how to save an old lady from a bullet injury except the Devil.

What I don't understand is why did he ever undergo a cat's appearance? His powers are very simian. He bounces off ways and graps things with his feet. Like a monkey. So it made sense that his 1st mutation had him looking like a man-ape even before the blue fur. I've never seen feline characters or cats in general swinging from poles and grabbing things with their feet. The feline appearance clashes with the ape-attributes.

Regarding the Beast/Mystique love, I don't care. Seriously, this movie will have as little connection to the original comics as they will to the X-Men's films before.    

Something else we wont see in THOR movie?

Donald Blake, perhaps?
