I'm actually kind of baffled at the popularity surrounding this movie. I literally don't get it. Even ignoring the fact that a Venom solo movie CAN work but his origin still needs Spider-Man, the film itself is rather rushed and stupid. Sure he looks cool and Tom Hardy is chewing the scenery, but that's about it. The villain is stupid, Venom doesn't show up until an hour in with only 30 mins left, the film breaks its own symbiote rules, and the heel turn is at whiplash speed.

Was this praised merely because it wasn't Disney or WB producing it or something?

Why is it that the only people that talk about Venom are casuals and homos? Do straight comic book fans like venom at all?

Thank you anon for the riveting comment that was both insightful and hilarious

Venom is one of those characters that's fine on paper but ultimately ruined by its fanbase, casuals, and from overexposure. Kind of like Batman, only edgier of course. In fact I think symbiotes get WAY too much play in Marvel/Spider-Man books. That's how we get dumb shit like Absolute Carnage and Knull

It was a breath of fresh air from the usual superhero Marvel shit I think. A bit more visceral in terms of action and a bit more personal in terms of stakes. It was nice to watch something attached to a Marvel character that wasn't.

They should've commit to an R rating and the writing shouldn't have been so shit though. Without Tom Hardy it would have been a complete stinker.

While it is nice that we got a self contained superhero movie not concerned about 5 other sequels (except that Carnage bit of course) and felt like a different tone, it's kind of detrimental to the film when it's fucking Venom of all people. You unfortunately need that Spider-Man connection, at least for the origin bit. After that, yeah, go nuts with Eddie doing his own thing. It's like that weird ass Steel movie starring Shaq, where it didn't have Superman in it

I agree, the movie needs to have a Spider-Man movie preceding it. But I'm almost willing to forgive the absence of that connection because of how awful the Iron-Boy movies are with it.

I was actually disappointed by the action scenes. They felt really weirdly edited to me. Almost like it was originally R rated but then they cut out call the good stuff. Or maybe it was just done for time. I liked the film but it was just because of the Tom Hardy talking to the symbiote parts. If that wasn’t there it would have been shit.

It was the most 90s superhero movie ever made, pretty appropriate for the character.

I hate Iron Boy too but an easier way would have been vaguely referencing Spider-Man, skipping the entire origin, and moving on from there. Like a quick title sequence narration that tells you everything you need to know so we can move the fuck on to focus on Eddie
>"We are Venom, and we used to be a part of someone else. But now, We have our own methods, and we will do it without The Spider".

Felt more like an early to mid 00s film to me

They were edited awkwardly in terms of violence, but for the most part it still felt more 'real' than a lot of recent cape flicks.

Because it's a solid movie. Might not be as polished as some other superhero films, but it also manages to avoid a lot of the commonplace trappings seen in most other films.

I talk about Venom I'm not a casual you little BITCH

Fact of the matter is, casuals pretending not to be casuals aka ZOOMERS don't read comics at all, and Venom comics are more niche, you have to be a real fan to be a Venom fan and know shit

Now kill yourself toonfaggot, Johnny Bravo sucks

Solid? Anon it was poorly paced as shit, hardly featured the title protagonist, and had a laughably bad villain

Anon the last 30 mins is Eddie finally becoming Venom and stopping the fucking rocket. His entire character arc is "Oh I just like Earth now"

Venom is a weirdo, the movie didn't do a great job of explaining it, but that's how it happened originally

Venom (in the original symbiote origin that the movie drew influence from) was the freak of it's race who craved a host, while the rest of the symbiotes were just into conquest and dominating foreign species

This
The film was unironically amazing right up until Venom the character showed up and fought some army dudes in the fog because 'we needed a badass scene on a budget' the whole shit with Eddie screaming for his life during the bike chase was pure kino. The second half of the movie drags a bit and the villain was fucking terrible but for some reason that just made it even more 90s. It was like if they found a 90s script and made it with today's technology. Can't wait for Venom VS Carnage though.

I still throws me that hardy said they cut all his favourite parts from the final edit. I really wanna see a directors cut or extended edition that puts all the bickering back in. It reminds me of that Captain Marvel run where Rick Jones gets bonded to Genis-Vell and they spend the entire run giving each other shit while getting dragged into situations fighting over who gets to control the body.

Yea, it's a shame that the BD only includes like 2 minutes of deleted scenes, and it's barely worth it beyond Venom basically telling Eddie to nut up or shut up.
