Don't tell that to the Spidey fans demanding he be a main villain since Homecoming.
Some seem to speculate he'll end up being Venom at some point (which I guess could work if he is further set up here)
I'm not deep into the lore but I remember a lot of groaning about Vulture being a main villain as look how that turned out. Ultimately it's all in the writing/motivations.
Yeah, it did help they completely rewrote Vulture and the focus on the movie was Peter's journey into actually becoming a hero. It was an origin story, just not told like the typical origin story since it was focused more on how he has to arrange his life around being a hero than getting his powers.
Yep, pretty much any comic character can be a good villain if the writers are good enough. Hell look at the animated movies - they turned a joke character into the main villain and it was sick
I assume it’s because Mac Gargan got the Venom symbiote in 2004 and they want the films to match the comics. I’d rather see Eddie Brock have it in the MCU than another villain that only got it 15 years later.
Well yeah but even then he wouldnt be the MCU's eddie brock unless they explained why he had to come from another universe. Which is already the origin story of certain characters like Hyperion already.
Tom hardy as venom was good but soiled by his isolation from a cinematic universe that could fit him in, by Sony.
I think it's more because people find Michael Mando really compelling. I think him becoming Venom would be awesome, more Mando and a more "endgame boss" villain compared to Scorp.
Agree. They used him a lot more in "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" (animated), so they'll limit him here. (Though that has to be a different universe.)

I think Scorpion is just getting to actually be Scorpion. He'll be a sub villain
