Venom Co-Creator Todd McFarlane Approves of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Interpretation | Push Square
Comic Con has just swung by, and Insomniac Games was there to show off more of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, giving us our first proper look at Venom. The anti-hero is set to be a key part of the story in the sequel, and he's so beloved that it's important the studio gets it right. So, what does Todd McFarlane, one of the character's creators, make of this interpretation?
In the above IGN video, he's asked this exact question. In short, he gives Insomniac's version of Venom the thumbs up. He says what he looks for with Venom is his intimidating size and gnarly teeth, which we're definitely getting in the game. McFarlane's also a fan of the bold spider design on his chest, but is less enthusiastic about the long tongue. That aspect of Venom's look came later through Erik Larsen.
But anyway, McFarlane says he looks «badass» and «vicious», commenting Insomniac «did a nice job making him feel like a monster». So, seal of approval achieved. We're sure the dev team's feeling good about that!
What do you think of Venom's look in Marvel's Spider-Man 2? Let us know in the comments section below.
Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.
Personally I think it's the best Venom design ever
Used to be a big fan of this guy in my comic-days. Cool to hear him talk about his creation!
He is so talented.
Cant wait for SpiderMan. Every time I see something new about this game it just makes me want it more.
I'd like to know which Venoms he didn't approve of more.
Obviously the Spidey 3 movie but what else.
