If you read my review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (if you haven't, it's right here) then you know about my reluctance to buy all the way in on how they're doing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Venom and Pre-hating on things
As of the time I'm starting this post, I have not yet seen Venom, although I do plan on seeing it eventually. I originally wanted no part of it but now my curiosity has been piqued.

X-Men is largely credited with reviving the genre after Batman and Robin supposedly put it all in serious jeopardy with it's abysmal box office failure … Continue reading Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
