Venom only exists because of Spider-Man. That is his original origin. Where do you think he got his powers from? That would be like making a Robin or Nightwing movie and not tying it to Batman. Venom does not have his own original Universe. Batman and Superman exist in their own Universe.
But how would mentioning Spiderman add to the movie? You wanted them to just say Spiderman just to do it? I'm not sure exactly what you wanted then to do?
Say he mentions Spiderman in a subliminal way...ok now what? How does that affect the movie. So you pretty much want the character to give a shout out. Lol.
Naw man. Its it's not contributing to the storyline, then mentioning Spiderman just for the sake of mentioning him isn't needed. Again this was more or an intro movie. IF they plan to involve him in the Spidey-verse down the line...cool. But this 1st movie isn't needed for that yet.
