*Kaneda says its being designed by Brian Eddy? Of course this is a rumor, nothing is officially confirmed-
Who would you like to do code/programming and art?
I have enjoyed Stranger Things and Mandalorian, what new innovative concept would you like to see?
Quoted from RebelGuitars:Coz You gonna get kicked out of the Kaneda club sharing his rumors.

I have heard this rumor from several sources. I don’t know if it’s true?? Just an interesting and fun rumor.
Kaneda was first to report it
Quoted from Coz:I have heard this rumor from several sources. I don’t know if it’s true?? Just an interesting and fun rumor.
So you heard it from multiple sources yet coincidently decide to post shortly after Kaneda did a podcast about it? At least give him credit for being the first to announce it publicly. That way Pinside can call him out if he was wrong and not give him credit if he was right.
Comic art/theme for sure but even if its done very well Stern will ruin it with terrible call outs and bad music. Time will tell.
If Stern really wanted a solid Marvel theme they should have gone with Doctor Strange. He’s got a big role in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, which ties into the next Doctor Strange film, and is a hell of a lot more interesting than Venom.

He was the first to report it on his latest podcast. So that kinda confirmed the rumors I had heard as well. Who knows, it could all just be a rumor. Once I heard his opinions, I thought it would be a fun pinside discussion.
I don't know - generally I would have said comic style was the way to go, but frankly I was disappointed in the crap callouts and near complete lack of animation in AIQ.
But if they don't get full assets from the movies and have to use voice actor stand-ins, that sucks arguably worse, sooooo...
I guess it comes down to what assets and creative freedom they'll have.
Just theme wise Venom seems pretty cool - little darker and less kiddie than most other Marvel stuff. I've only seen clips and trailers for the newest 2 Venom movies though, looked pretty cool - Sorry to hear they are DC-movie level bad.

For the love of God just give him credit!!!
Anyway, it's a good enough theme that it won't hurt the pin if it's good. I think it's kind of a C plus theme for the pinside crowd.
Quoted from iloveplywood:For the love of God just give him credit!!!
Now everyone will come out of the woodwork saying they heard it was Venom months ago yet decided to keep it to themselves and not share with the community.
I really don't understand the need to give someone credit for "reporting" a rumour. So you heard a rumour and mentioned it on a podcast. Well done, that must have been tough.
Why do people jerk K-man off so hard? Dude, people have been saying Stern is gonna do Venom for years just like they’ve been saying Rush is due any day now. Are we gonna now give credit to some obscure Pinside thread from 9 years ago talking about the Rush pin? No. All these K-man fanboys will quote him as Gospel. The dude has an atrocious track-record. 30% of the time (and dropping), he’s right every time!

I had knowledge of Cactus Canyon being confirmed back in August, should I make a podcast about it and destroy any trust my sources had in me? The CGC remake thread confirmed Cactus Canyon over 5 years ago. Does that guy get credit?

Good idea. Dr. Strange provides a lot to work with in terms of unique ideas for a pinball machine. Venom is a snooze.

I hope this rumor is true.. We are full and cannot fit any more machines.
I think the title is killer but ... not for us.

Couldn't be more wrong and most of his listeners know he is wrong a lot more then he is right. He even knows that and jokes around about it. Nobody is saying he is always right but none of the other Podcasters have mentioned it was Venom yet to my knowledge. And not everyone can spend all day on Pinside sifting through the thousands of new posts to see what the next title is. So podcasts are a convenient way to keep up with the news and I listen to them when driving to and from work.
Anyone can be a keyboard commando and hide behind an avatar and fake name to make claims on a forum about what the upcoming titles are. But for all of those people who are saying they knew it weeks or months ago so should they have done a podcast I would love to hear you put one together so please post the link when you make it so we can all listen.
At this point I am a hard pass on anything to do with comics and/or Marvel movies. On the other hand The Boys is something I could get behind, but it is sort of the anti comic book show and that's why I love it.
Aside from Rush and Bond, I haven't heard of any rumors from any of the pinball companies that gets me excited. Jaws would have been a much better theme for Brian Eddy than Venom. Oh well, saves me some money for other hobbies and gets me out in the fresh air!

I'm really tired of action movie/comics/super hero adaptations for pins, really overdone by now.
Similarly bored of <insert rockband title> pins, how many of these do we really need?!?
I wish they could release more original themes/IPs
Quoted from canea:More Marvel. Lame. Easy pass.

I like Marvel movies and pins, but Venom seems like a bit of an odd choice. There are so many more popular characters to choose from. Black Panther seems like an obvious choice for a number of reasons. Even something like a Dr. Strange would be a better choice in my opinion.

I'd buy a Dr. Strange table on day one.
I also don't think there's ever been a great execution of the Xmen in pinball.
Quoted from sirisles:I WANT Todd McFARLANE SPAWN Pin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep. Spawn and maybe a Batman pin based on the Arkham series video game or comics with his art, just about the only comic book pins I would buy. Marvel stinks.
