VENOM Co-Creator Todd McFarlane Redesigns The Big Screen Version Of The Iconic Villain

The new trailer for Venom generated a lot of discussion among comic book fans but most agreed that the symbiote looked pretty cool. Now, artist Todd McFarlane has made some tweaks which you can see here!

The second Venom trailer won a lot of people over (despite cringeworthy lines about turds in the wind), with many fans praising the design of the symbiote. Now, the character's co-creator and the man responsible for coming up with the symbiote's appearance all those years ago has weighed in and decided to make some changes. Does Todd McFarlane improve the anti-hero's look for the better? 

Well, McFarlane - who admits to liking the design - doesn't actually do much, giving the eyes a more angular shape and making Venom's mouth a tad smaller and altering the teeth so he looks a little more like his comic book counterpart. These edits make a surprisingly big difference, though, and an argument could definitely be made that the artist comes up with a slightly better looking Venom!

What do you guys think? As always, share your thoughts on that in the comments section down below.

That was pretty cool. Todd's edits are fine. The actual movie design is fine too. They are both fine.

well, i think it's looks really good. when the first trailer was released i was against but since they added some of the effects and made venom more ...slimy - i think it works really well. i also like the motion capture. the symbiote connected with Eddy seems to be pretty fast human being.

now, i can be in minority here but i also like the voice and dialogues.

Not as good as this

@BiggerLuke - Just get rid of the S in the https.

It's this..

@DCFilmJunkie - Sometimes it works with the S when you paste the link. I was really just telling BiggerLuke how to fix it. 👍

@Nebula - Ah noted.

P.S. When I'm on my phone's mobile network I get constant redirects to some spam ad about gift cards, and I'm pretty sure it's tied to that IP Address since it doesn't do it on my home network.

@BiggerLuke - Dude, on my phone I constantly get redirects to gift card sites. It’s reaaaaally irritating. Also, this site on my phone hearts up my battery and drains it like crazy. Like, I can feel my phone get hot and watch the battery drain. I have to close out the web browser when I’m done, lest my phone battery just bleed out. I’m sure it’s the ads on this site. It doesn’t happen that way on my iPad or my iMac at all. Just my phone.

@Santanaonfire - *heats up my battery. I can literally feel it get hot.

@Santanaonfire - Same here. And it's just on this site. They either need to make a dedicated mobile app or better optimize the mobile experience because as it stands, it's borderline unusable.

@BiggerLuke - Absolutely. I’ve almost gotten to the point where I’ll only view it on my desktop or iPad. And the phone issue has been true of three different models of iPhone I’ve had. And it is absolutely ONLY this site. Some times I wonder, between Wilding’s lazy ass BS posts that he can’t even bother to proof read and the toxic comments from the community, why I even bother still coming here. I guess I’m just a comic book junkie and cant quit it. Lol.

@BiggerLuke - browsing this site for about a half hour, a handful of articles and a few comments, I’ve dropped 20% battery life from 46 to 26. It was 29% when I started wrtiting this comment and before the page crashed while I wasn’t writing the original to when I reloaded and found my way back and rewrite it. @Natebest - this is inexcusable and obviously a problem with the site and coding. FIX IT! It’s just your site and I’m not the only one with this issue. Now, before my phone battery burns my hands (just lost another 1% - down to 25) it just explodes on me, I’m leaving. Good f’ing night. 😤

@Nebula - Is that a real Lifield drawing or a parody? Please tell me it’s a parody.

@BiggerLuke, @Santanaonfire - Send me screenshots, or the URL for the hijack/redirect ads, and I'll have the advertisers hunt them down and get rid of them. They happen on LOTS of sites at various times of the year and are VERY frustrating.

As far as the battery issue, I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm on the site several hours a day on my phone, usually over wi-fi, and have never ran into that particular problem.

The good news is that there's an upgrade coming that will allow users to browse the site ad free! Most of the issues that people experience have nothing to do with the mobile optimization or the underlying code, but the 3rd party widgets, ads, etc. 😡

@NateBest - I'll make sure to screenshot it next time it pops up. Oddly enough, I haven't had it happen yet today. I've seen people suggest disabling javascript, but that breaks the site, so I'm just going to use the desktop version for now.
