Imagine Eddie Brock as a personal trainer, just screaming at you to do that one last rep and down your protein shake before he eats your brains. I think I'd lose weight just from sheer anxiety and waking up in cold sweats in the middle of the night.

How dare you try anything new...also great, fun video!!!

[@karl_alan]

I actually do like it better when this show has an outro, either this one or the one you used to have. With the outro I have a clear indication that the episode ended & it isn't just KZbin glitching. Since you inyroduce yourselves at the beginning, there is already a clear intro and lead-in, even without the music.

[@jclombardi8471]

Thank God. I was having a personal crisis for a moment.

[@jclombardi8471]

Wait, where is the intro? I-I'm so confused. What show am I watching? Who are these people? Where am I?! WHO AM I!?!?!?!?!?!?

I can't agree with this anymore as a loner who's always longer for friends like they are and the beautiful relationship Sal and Tiffany have. Such good people, which is amazing you can look at videos 7 years ago and see they all haven't changed and still truly care about one another and comics just as much.

I still haven't seen the first movie but I actually like the title "Let There Be Carnage" just because it's different than the typical format of "Character's Name: Subtitle from Major Comic Story".

[@Grievousish]

Well it's good to see that the guys broke out of their phantom zone prisons in time for this week's episode. Although they didn't look as uncomfortable as the one's Zod's crew were stuck in.

[@r.babylon2885]

When I first had this book, I was under the impression that this was the culmination of a long-running story. I thought all of the characters were established and I was catching the end. I didn't understand exactly how comics worked.

[@benhramiak8781]

venom fan here. say the notification and literally went 'ooh'. you three are a highlight for me between sleeping problems and uni work.

[@cubencis]

IIRC within the first 3 lethal protector comics they explain that Eddie was obsessed with working out at a young age because his father beat him and demeaned him. Possibly also he was bullied. They mention Eddie having an "Olympian level physique ". It's been a while though. I bought these when they were new and gave them away years ago.

[@multifan1644]

I still love the 90's comics and all the stupid symbiote stuff. I know it is flawed and not great but for me it is just filled with nostalgia and fun. Great episode, great channel.

Great episode. As a kid I found the myriad symbiotes a lot cooler than they actually were. I fell for it. Also, I wholeheartedly approve of Ethan's "Nuke the Whales" shirt. That's one of those classic bits that has stuck with me most of my life. I lol'd when I saw the shirt.

[@regularguy5403]

Is it my birthday? A venom centered episode. 😃

[@alexandredesbiens-brassard9109]

I've been going through the Venom Epic Collection and (re)watching your reviews of each storyline after I read it, so I hope you'll do a couple more Venom miniseries in the future (the next Epic volume comes out later this month). Anyway, loved your take on this one. My main problem with the five Venom Spawn is that they're nothing bunch a bunch of action figure concepts. We have no idea who they were before the suit, their human names are only mentionned here for the first time, and their Symbiote name are actually never mentionned in the comics (be it Lethal Protector, The Exile Returns or Separation Anxiety). Carnage might not have been the most original concept, but he felt like an actual character. These guys are action figures.

[@anthonymarciano6050]

Brock was always fit he wanted to impress his father with accolades and tried to excel at physical activities

Had to pause this video to say this: every time, in the 90s, I saw an image of Ben Reilly (with his 5 o’clock shadow & sweet mullet on a motorcycle) I hear a specific musical clip in my head - the harmonica sting from Hard Target starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. For anyone not familiar with that masterpiece, it’s very similar to the theme for Bishop from the X-Men cartoon in the 90s.

[@christianndukwe8994]

The entire episode I was watching the green symbiote’s Scarlet Spider eyes 😂

[@Zekrel]

I feel like this story could’ve worked better if it had treated the life foundation Symbiotes and their hosts as actual characters. Like what if Scream’s host had been suffering from schizophrenia and couldn’t tell what voices were the symbiote talking to her so she ended up going insane, fearing that it was evil and whispering all manner of evil things to her. And maybe the symbiote could have been trying to communicate to her, as best it could, that it’s not evil like she thinks it is. I think little things like that could’ve helped a lot.
