[@planetfierce]

This movie was exactly what I wanted and I was not disappointed. The only people I’ve seen really upset by it are the people who didn’t understand the assignment and what the main story always was going to be - a love story between Eddie and Venom. It had the back and forth bickering dialogue, Venom pushing Eddie towards Anne since he thought he still wanted to be with her and then a massive break up all culminating in that beautiful ending of them finally acknowledging they need each other and that they (eek!) love each other. 10/10 will see twelve more times.

[@diegomaynez1425]

I can smell the tons of fanfics being created this moment.

[@demetriusprime1505]

*SPOILERS I GUESS* The only things I disliked about this movie was Eddie having to say sorry to Venom when it was Venom's fault for attacking Cletus and allowing Cletus to bite Eddie so he gets a piece of the symbiote which like Eddie said Venom doesn't think about the consequences but some how it's all Eddie's fault. Then they for some reason try to make Cletus a sympathetic serial killer by saying "You didn't get the full story Eddie! Did you know that grandma, mom and daddy are all a bunch of abusive assholes!?" Then proceeds to talk to Eddie as he's being held by Venom "All I wanted was your friendship Eddie." I could be wrong since I don't read the comic books but all that just felt really wrong.

[@cesarsain3731]

So your telling me it’s the same as the first movie cuz they did the same thing only this time venom finally likes Anne the first one he wasn’t as focused on her but killing 🤷‍♂️ so to me it’s a copy paste of the last it was funny and all I can see it as is a rom com

[@Emmuzka]

Almost all the disappointed commenters in reviews seem to focus on the PG rating. Like, it would have been SO much better if there would have been more blood and guts and violence. Yes more blood would have been better, but anyone waiting for a Marvel horror monster movies were waiting for a wrong thing. (The most horror thing has been the Hellstrom mini series, and they had to almost scrub the Marvel logo off it because of it.)

[@alinazhidil9817]

@@cesarsain3731 I saw people say that that Eddie and Venom already been through this in the first movie, and it highlights to me one of the things that I like so much about Venom - there is no magic solution. Eddie has its all in the beginning of the first one, then things go to shit, and you expect the hero to overcome it and be on top in the end. Except that Eddie is still broke and depressed, and he doesn't get the girl in the end. And he's still broke, depressed, and pining over his ex in this one. His relationship with a parasitic human eating alien living inside his body also take time to develop into a more accepting loving connection. And now they've been transported into the MCU movies that have zero consequences, and where all the problems resolve themselves instantly. Poor babies.

[@librarianontheloose]

I love everything about Hardy's take on Venom because I don't think anyone else would just fully commit to the utter insanity without flinching like Hardy. I don't want to say Hardy "grasps camp", but I think he grasps tone. There's a quirky touch to him on top of someone who honestly comes across as a cool bad ass who just doesn't care that works here in a way that is hilarious and just sort of great.

[@mophead_xu]

that. that last part. i remember this scene in mad max: fury road when his character removed the muzzle. it was simple and straightforward, but the way hardy acted had some subtleties that gave uniqueness to his character. i don't know how to describe the scene exactly, but it's etched into my mind to this day, even though i've only watched fury road maybe twice max and the last time was years ago. he's a great actor, i think.

[@awsomedude23456]

I believe the reason why venom recognized Peter, is bc like he said, symbiotes have a hive mind across multiple universes, so potentially the venom in spider man 3, is connected to this one, and he either recognized Peter, or at the very least knows he has a connection to him

[@blueflamingo4526]

Exactly!! He's not himself.

[@Flameclaw123]

That's how I interpreted it too, since he's talking about the hivemind right before the jump to the hotel room, and given where the next Spider-Man movie is going based on the trailers

[@jasperhopland8913]

I read the title of this video and then it hit me "My god, it IS a romantic comedy."

[@gleamingembermemories]

if I may: it could be that Venom is instantly interested in Peter is because the video shown on the news is deliberately meant to frame him for Mysterio's death. since Venom has an interest in being a hero by biting off bad guys' heads, well... i think that part explains itself

[@theraVen27]

He literally just told eddy that he has a shared knowledge of multiple universes. Venom knows spidey from a different life

[@FunnyClipGuy23]

As the other person said, venom has memories from a hive mind spanning millions of years. So I'm gonna assume he has knowledge of different universes. Idk if Knull exists in this venom verse but he's a very powerful being who leads the symbiotes so who knows.

[@ultrabigfella]

@@theraVen27 he didn't say multiple universes? He said he knew tons of years worth of knowledge.

[@FloweredAngelFilms]

@@theraVen27 Maybe, maybe not. A hive mind memory MIGHT include detailed information about multi-verses, but knowing about multiple universes doesn't not necessarily mean that they know EVERYthing about those universes. Personally, from the way the scene was shot, I think we're suppose to believe that Venom believes the news report and is going to be "tricked" into trying to take Peter down. Maybe it'll lead into a "Sinister Six" situation, maybe he'll turn around and join Spiderman in the third act; we'll just have to wait and see.

[@TheCosmicFailure]

Felt like there was very little Cletus/Carnage.

[@Flameclaw123]

Yeah I was very surprised at how quickly they got to the church scene at the end. I expected there to be more build-up and maybe more explanation about Carnage, Shriek, etc. or maybe a scene showcasing why Eddie & Venom need to reunite from an emotional angle moreso than "Venom will die and Eddie's in danger." I had a good time with it regardless, but I think an extra 20 mins between Eddie escaping custody and Anne getting kidnapped would have benefitted the movie immensely (since as things are, Anne & Dan literally exit one scene and then immediately Anne gets kidnapped which felt weirdly paced)

[@heroicgangster9981]

Yeah watched it with my brother and I think he was weirded out by the constant weirdness and it having very bizarre pacing and emotional stakes compared to an MCU movie which he likes.

In The expanded lore of the comics the symbiotes are like agents of entropy the original bonding with Gorr The God Butcher. Gorr is in Thor 4.

could also be that Venom keeps wanting to get out there and fight bad guys, Spiderman is being broadcast on the news as this murderer. Could be that Venom is seeing this high profile 'villian' as a way to get his vigilante name out there.

I honestly loved this movie. The first one made me laugh and while I understand people's complaints, I enjoyed it greatly. That being said, I knew going into this movie that Carnage wasn't going to make it for another movie. The MCU has a bad habit of killing off their villains that were recurring in the comics. What would've better (in my opinion) is after Shriek got crushed by the bell, Cletus becomes too distraught and Carnage being too weak to continue the fight, they run off and go into hiding. Eluding to the possibility of Cletus/Carnage coming back for revenge, but before they do that Carnage has to buff up again. And how does he do that? By going on a good old fashion murder spree and the eating of people's heads. Or something to that effect. I am admittedly excited to see what they have in store for the new MCU multiverse mess

[@KeeKage37]

This movie has a dynamic between Cletus and Shriek in the same way as DCU’s Harley Quinn and Joker, before he emancipation. In that there is a romance between the two, unlike the comics were the romance is one sided to a compleat psychopath. It is a interesting look at the characters as Carnage has teamed with Shriek multiple times in the comics in a twisted family image. So the romance between the two didn’t bother me so much as the carnage Symbiote kinda being the third wheel and droning a wedge between it and Cletus.

[@GreekJR2]

The thing is in the comics the Carnage sybiote and Cletus Cassidy are basically the same person so they don't do the dual souls thing that Eddie and the Venom symbiote do. The movie added that aspect which was weird since the movie doesn't really give the Carnage symbiote a personality. Its motivations don't make any sense.

I had loads of fun watching this movie. I was worried it might suck since sequels sometimes are worse but all I want is to be entertained and it definitely delivered. I laughed a lot at the Venom scenes.

[@francescapatti2934]

Yep same. Hoenstly I don't care about any other Marvel Universe stuff. I don't like the movies, and I don't care about anyone that isn't Venom, that's my life's motto 😂

[@Pantheragem]

First movie I've been to in a long time where the audience clapped afterward. And that was before the mid credit scene.

[@Asylum247]

I love the comics more but I'm not going into comic movies for deep existential stories

[@yvainestelmack7196]

I kinda hope that when venom approaches spider man he ends up being caught and is separated into the symbiote and Eddie. Then the movie follows more of the perspective of the symbiote, which in order to find/rescue Eddie must bond to and assist Parker. And in the end, the symbiote, despite Parker being just as good a host, will choose to be venom with Eddie because 🖤 (and more freedom to murder).

[@icedcapplord710]

I really hope the implications of that post credits scene means that Venom can actually be part of Disney's MCU films so we can get Black Suit with Tom Holland or symbiotes in general, especially with Gorr the God Butcher being the villain for Love and Thunder and his comics connection to Knull

[@turnermarius4471]

Hopefully Knull God Symbiote can be in MCU.

[@olrun1]

Oh God i hope not. I stopped watching the mcu before end game. I got bored and shut off infinity war like 1/2 way through and haven't gone back. I've learned 2 things 1. I'm over the mcu. It's kinda become a broken record and 2. I still hate Disney no matter who they aquire. I probably won't watch a 3rd venom movie if it takes place in the mcu ... shame

[@robb1914]

@@olrun1 I’m really curious, Is that really what you think of the MCU?

@@olrun1 its funny you say that, since after endgame is when things got real wild.

Watch Tom Hardy just defeat Knull and become god lmao.

I loved it, honestly. Queer MCU fans are winning this year - canon bisexual Loki and Sylvie, canon queer relationship between Eddie and Venom, canon gay Phastos with husband and kid in Eternals... We're eating well.

[@CyreneDuVent]

I probably won't be able to see the movie in theatres because covid's really blowing up in my area, so I'm sad I won't get to watch this. From the titles, though, one word. YES

[@angryanon6999]

I actually just saw this movie a few hours ago and when I was watching it, I kept making faces and getting this feeling in my gut at some parts because it DID feel romantic, and then I see your video and BAM, knew it. I enjoyed the movie, was the rom-com I didn’t know I needed.

[@Loki-pz1uk]

I’m on the same page with Cletus. I really wanted more of a exploration of relationship with Carnage instead of bringing Shriek in. Frankly this just really really really makes me want a Nailbiter movie/series. Give me a creepy serial killer who gives me creepy serial killer! 👏👏👏

[@fig4778]

I had a lot of fun with Venom. all my coworkers went together after a long day so we were primed to laugh. And now my 60-something coworker will imitate venom every once in a while to cheer us up lol

[@幸-s8v]

I watched it yesterday. And again today. And will probably watch it tomorrow. 10/10 from me

[@ollieno971]

Wait how do you NOT want venom and Spider-Man to team up on the big screen?? It’s been my dream. The end credit scene had me screaming

[@mandipandi303]

I just left the movie and you are right. It was the Eddie × Venom romantic comedy we deserved. So much better than the first film.

[@thehorriblebright]

I just got home from watching this with my 14yo kid. He obviously loved it and that enthusiasm is severally contagious. Watching this kind of movies with younglings is absolutely the best way.

[@alexandermccalla5098]

It explained the Venom/Peter stuff at the time. Symbiotes share a hive memory. So Venom has the memories of every Venom.

[@CatChaos369]

I love how Dan isn’t a dick to Eddie and actually rly tries to help in the first and then gets into the fight with Eddie yes he wants to save Anne but he clearly cares for Eddie. Venom also being at peace/friends with Dan too like it’s become the awesome foursome and in here for this wholesome relationships!

[@mikeruiger7174]

I totally agree about the break up thing I drove 12 hours to get broke up with, it’s ok to break up with someone over the phone if your not close to each other...

[@EnbyNomad]

I hope Venom gets to continue, I genuinely enjoy the movies and naturally more so the second. I really want more SymBrock

[@francescapatti2934]

Same. Tbh I don't care about the multiverse and whatever the other Marvel heros are doing. I'm just here for the vibes and the funny shit. Imo they could literally do that thing in the 2018 run of the comics where Eddie straight up becomes Symbiote god or sth. Or just put every Spiderman and Venom in one big clusterfuck of a movie who cares. I've never taken Marvel seriously and I sure as fuck won't start now.

[@commonprosperity4all675]

The more i watch the tom Holland and Venom films the more i appreciate that the raimi films are masterpeices, even his 3rd spidey film has more to offer than what we are being served today

[@francescapatti2934]

I disagree on the Venom front because I've never had this much fun watching movies before, but I do agree that whatever Spidey movies they're doing today just don't measure up to my childhood. But also I kinda don't really care about Marvel as a whole? I just missed out on a lot and I don't have the patience to watch all of the movies I missed... Really I was just enjoying the vibes

[@VelvetCake423]

from what i gathered the symbiote hive mind stretches across the multiverse to some extent so Venom may be getting some sort of instinct of hating peter from the exchoes of his variants in the hive mind. thats my running theory at least

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

I put off watching this since I hadn't seen the movie yet but i just watched it today AND I LOVED IT! JUST LIKE THE COMICS AND TOM HARDY DESERVES ALL HIS PROPS!!

[@Jonny_Black]

I enjoyed the first film and honestly, I'm here for the venom and Eddie and content. I did hate that they're going into the MCU bc I feel like that's being run into the ground and DISNEY but eh. I'm here to chill and enjoy the small things

[@kyoki86]

[@bbear2695]

mulligan would be a good name for a character that could like, rewind time a little bit and redo things. yknow, take a mulligan but with life

[@korecfirk]

The thing about Kassidy and Carnage relationship on the comics is that Cletus was just so out of it he completely took over the symbiote personality making them indistinguishable of each other and why Carnage still acts the same even if Cletus is currently dead so letting the symbiote had it's own personality was going to cause some rift between them which is interesting for them

[@171QA]

Well, we did get Venom into the MCU, after all. Probably the closest we’re getting Deadpool interacting with Spider-man. XD

[@philiphunn194]

I dunno, Sony might be sensible for once and work for the common good like Universal does... ... ... nah, I don't think that'll happen either.

[@alinazhidil9817]

@@philiphunn194 Sony is literally producing and releasing Tom Holland's movies? Personally I don't like those, but most MCU fans cream all over them... Sony is not the problem, if they're refusing to sell their property to the biggest (or one of) monopoly in entertainment.

[@alinazhidil9817]

Mickey owns Deadpool now tho, so, at some point he will start popping up in their movies too. It's a shame that this Peter is a teenager again, Wade having a crush on him was always a ray of sunshine in this world.

watched this movie in the theater with my friends and had an amazing time it was so fun and funny that you don’t even care about the different ways the movie could be better cause your having a great time

[@moxiemaxie3543]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who wanted the hair and felt like they gave into pressure

[@matixdegaulle8109]

They had the preview for the next Spiderman movie right before Venom 2 when I went to see it last night, so I think Venom probably will at least get a cameo in the Spiderman movie because it seems like it's really gonna go hard on the (possibly collapsing) multiverses, and there's a line in that trailer about how very little is known about how the multiverse functions and now that a spanner has been tossed into the works, who even knows. I also have to say that I am very glad that they didn't kill Anne. She's such a fun character, and an interesting contrast to Eddie because yah she probably still loves him but she also recognizes that they're a bad match and sets healthy boundaries and sticks to them (something we do NOT get enough of in movies). Also I am super tired of the girl/girlfriend/wife dying for man-pain. (and yes I realize Shriek also died, if she is dead, because a) we never saw the body, and b)that would be one heck of an enemy for Venom. But even if she did bite it, Cassidy got dead right after, so her death isn't just so that Cassidy can Feel Bad for five seconds.)

[@gabrielle3960]

After Cletus broke out of jail and we get a shot of his new look I immediately thought they had somehow gone back in time and cast Dolph Lundgren in some one off role they were introducing.
