I'm not sure if it should be a live action or animated movie or TV show. Based on elements from Marvel Comics, some of the movies and TV shows and videos games. Peter Parker asks, "Will you marry me?" to MJ Watson, and she says "Yes!" For the next few months, while preparing for the wedding, Peter goes through major peril involving some alien goo. He discovers an asteroid in the park, a black goo comes out of it, and it actually JUMPS onto him! Everything goes black and then he wakes up wearing a black Spider-Man suit. It makes him feel more alive than ever. But overtime, his mind gets corrupted, which makes MJ want to call off the engagement, but aside from that, more asteroids land on Earth and those exposed to the goo end up turning into shrieking monsters. A prisoner named Cletus Cassidy gets exposed to some red goo, and his new monster self helps him escape and is assembling other monsters to plot world domination. After the first half of the movie, Spider-Man and rival reporter Eddie Brock argue over who's the hero, the black goo comes off, exposing Peter's identity to Brock, and ends up on Brock's body. The Symbiote introduces himself as Venom and they fight. Venom gets away and meets up with Cletus, now named Carnage. Overtime, Venom decides to help save the Earth and assembles Spider-Man and other Symbiote friends to stop Carnage.
