I do agree with that. How you're going to have venom without the suit somehow being on peter first changes the whole motivation of the alien. I never read any of that lethal protector shyt tho so I'm sure there's someway to do it. I'm positive they're not doing agent venom though.
If they were smart theyd go the Flash route
But its Hollyweird
They gotta capitalize off this R rated comic shyt while its hot
Most of them Venom stories were weak too
At least with Flash you got the veteran who lost his legs overseas and takes on a fresh Venom persona that would make for a great hero on screen
And like someone said, he still can go ugly Venom when he loses control, so you can still have that element of Venom in there
