For the record, I like the Venom movies, (probably should have said that at the start), Venom has always been my favorite Spider-Man villain, he's like a dark reflection of Spidey, and me personally I think he works pretty well without being a villain, despite not having any of Spidey's power, without Spidey there to "mess up his life" (he did that all by himself), he became a hero on his own (even if it did take until the end of the second movie), saw CatWoman once, years ago, thought it was boring, Black Adam, saw it just a couple days ago, thought it was very good, too bad it's not getting a sequel (DC shot itself multiple times in the foot with that reboot idea, what are they thinking) and I have yet to see Morbius, but really hoping it's good (heard rumors that it's not, but that is something for me to decide on my own, you know, our own opinions and all that), so no spoilers on that please, so far it seems that Venom is the only one that has been truly successful, (of course Marvel and Sony are both guilty of shooting themselves in the foot, with that tease of Tom Hardy's Venom, crossing over with Tom holland's Spidey, and not following through), but my point is, I think a solo villain movie can work, it just needs a good director, and a studio who knows what they're doing.
