I don't blame raimi for that as I said, because he was pretty much forced by avi arid to put venom in the movie. Venom shouldn't have gotten involved with spidey, and they should have saved the rest of his story for the fourth film, where they would have had more room to develop his character. Oh, and I didn't like how Eddie Brock was portrayed either. Brock was never the cowardly, sniveling little weasel type. He was a man with a strong sense of justice, which ties into the venom character. Hopefully all this gets recognized for this spin-off.

Sony Pictures wanted it, I think they were the primary push, not Avi.

Besides, Raimi did a lot with that movie that was just retarded. I know Raimi's a God around these parts, but if he fucked all that shit up because he didn't like Venom, he was cutting off his nose to spite his face.

The illusion is to give that theres no way spiderman can win.

You're emphasising the least important element of his "worst nightmare," though.

Spider-Man's worst nightmare comes from the fact that Venom is a committed individual with all his powers plus, not to mention the ability to completely hide from Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, and (as alrerady mentioned), an identity that allows him to get close to Parker's friends and family. He can strike from anywhere, and he will. He doesn't need to be bigger to be badder and scarier.

They don't do that, though. Ever noticed how it's usually the actors in the costumes? Kinda dumb, but they seem to want to capture the "real" guy regardless.

I think he meant that Brock was blown up, too. Though that's readily explainable. Say, for example, the symbiote ejected Brock to save him. Combine that with the remaining piece, and you've got an answer.
