The reason Venom is a "loser" amongst his people is because he plays with his food. All the others of his kind just eat their host and discard it. Venom likes to keep his host around a while, like a pet.

[@silversrayliegh5924]

I thought its because he cannot conjure weapons like most of the other symbiotes.

[@jaysuscrass9119]

That-and if the host is compatible enough to keep; they subjugate them completely and are in total control all the time so they're just using their host like a spacesuit to navigate whatever world they're on. whereas Venom likes to take in the culture of whatever he's inhabiting. just a little helpful 'cannibalist-ish' tourist guy

exactly, the symbiotes, behave more like parasites take control of the body and use the host as a meat puppet, Venom actually behaves like a symbiote, he creates a bond with his host. And that is seen as "weak" to his species, therefore a bit of a loser.

Venom (2018) just hits this strange sweet spot of being a mainstream, big-budget, major studio, superhero blockbuster that has all the *individual* elements of being a respectable, normal mediocre movie, but instead becomes a vortex of monsterfuckery and chaos swirling around this absolutely bizarre Tom Hardy performance. Mwah. Beautiful. I unironically love it. Also, I usually have to watch movies alone, and so the fun memories of watching them with friends stay with me.

Tom Hardy was made for this as Ryan Reynolds was made for Deadpool, we just need a writer with ambition and less fear of being a “family friendly” movie. Only a few characters will benefit from being R rated and this is one of them for sure!

If you're saying Venom 2 NOT being rated R was a mistake, I agree lol. I think it should have been made as an R movie instead of "downgraded". But studios think more money and bigger audience if kids can watch.

"I can't believe Woody Harrelson was in this movie.. and with a wig like that" If you can find any Spider-Man comics of the 90s, following the debut of Cletus Kassidy (who becomes Carnage), you'd see that wild red hair and casting Woody was an accurate depiction.

[@benjiemation]

There are definitely funny moments in the movie. I know when I watched it in theaters I didn’t like it as much because reasoning for the other symbiote to come from China to SF felt forced an obvious China ass kiss to be played in their country, some of the effects didn’t look finished and some sections felt rushed and didn’t make sense.

They very quickly established that Eddie is a good guy at heart (Having him care for Maria, and having his local community know him) so I think simply being in Eddie's head, reading his thoughts and so on, showed Venom the good in humanity and the world. I don't think it was one specific thing Eddie did, I think it was just Eddie and his mindset in general that changed Venom's mind

[@thewerewolff7248]

In the comics symbiotes also take on aspects of their user’s personality and abilities. That could be the case here hence Eddie’s goodness was somewhat absorbed by the symbiote.

[@ninjanibba4259]

That makes no sense, the symbiotic nature of Venom is to feed off negative emotions making him stronger, that’s already screwed up here Another thing is Venom is supposedly reading his mind, yet has to constantly ask questions about what’s going on, that’s just bad writing all around

[@thewerewolff7248]

@@ninjanibba4259 Nope. In the original comics the symbiote didn’t feed of negative emotions at all. The only reason Peter removed it in the original comics is because the fantastic four discovered it was alive. It was Peter forcible removing it that filled the symbiote with anger and a desire for revenge which it had in common with its new host eddie brock. The hostile emotions thing was added by later version of the story. Even in current continuity the symbiote had no desire to dominate Peter.

@Hapnik not exactly? he saw the set and went "oh i'm definitely going in that lobster tank." and they had to reinforce/alter it so it would be safe for him to jump in. so it wasn't originally planned, but for safety's sake, he had to let them know ahead of time what he was going to do. it's definitely the highlight of the movie, though.

In fact, I find Venom's motivation really interesting. It was possible to develop such a psychological drama from it! He is something like a worker in an anthill. But on Earth he is an alpha predator, a super-individual. And it destroyed his worldview. Eddie is also a loser, who, however, could live a quiet and safe life. But he gets on the adrenaline needle, because in tandem with Venom he can become something more, something important. What a potential the film had!

[@patrickcromwell7554]

In the comics, the reason why Venom can sense and predict things around him is BECAUSE of Peter Parker. It has HIS abilities along with its own natural ones. There was a time, in the comics where Peter had a black costume that reacted to his will and created his clothes and costume at will. However Peter eventually realized he was slowly turning Dark instead of just sarcastic and witty. He found a way to rid himself of the symbiote forcefully and IT latched into Eddie Brock and the two of them began to call themselves Venom. So Venom, along with its own shapeshifting abilities, gave Eddie all of Spider-Man's abilities as well. And worse for Spider-Man is that Peter's Spider-Sense doesn't work on Venom or Eddie. So Eddie can quite literally be standing right behind Peter ready to kill him and Peter would never be alerted. It's one of the reasons why Venom is considered top 5 of Spider-Man's Arch-Nemesis. There are a whole lot of other reasons as well of course, but not being able to sense Venom is up there on the list of Venom's advantages. Again though Nat, this is in the comics. Not the MCU so I doubt there are any spoilers here. Unless you are interested in reading the comics, then I apologize.

I think this movie did a good job of showing that side of Venom, yeah he needs a chemical that can be found in human brains or chocolate to survive, but he is reasonable about it.

[@toob1979]

I liked this movie much more than I thought I would. The Venom-Eddie relationship was really nice, and the way they bonded over being losers amongst their kinds was a great way to cement that friendship. This movie has me humming Eminem at random moments.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I love this movie, but I was not sold on Tom Hardy at the beginning of the movie, and realized he was a perfect choice by the end. I have not watched the sequel yet, but I am excited to.

[@tehdipstick]

A couple of things to note: The symbiote is, well, just that. A symbiote rather than a parasite, an organism that lives in symbiosis with its host, meaning they both benefit from being bonded. While I do think that this is a decent, fun movie, I can't say it's a very faithful portrayal of Eddie or the symbiote if compared to the source material. A lot of people are saying this version of Venom is comic book-accurate because he physically resembles the comic book character more closely, but both Eddie and the symbiote are much more sympathetic in this movie than they have been for most of their time in the comics. The symbiotes aren't like the Thing. They don't transform into looking like various people. What you saw was the villainous Symbiote changing hosts, going from one person to another, not taking on their physical form. I'm not sure if you remember from Spider-Man 3, but soundwaves are painful to symbiotes, which is why the Venom symbiote has such a strong negative reaction to both the alarm and to the noises emitted by the MRI machine.

I loved this movie, apparently together with the majority of people. Seems like another example of critics being completely out of touch with the actual audience.

[@wardenm]

Part of the problem with critic reviews is that critics and audiences are looking for different things. As an audience, we can pick and choose which movies we watch. Critics on the other hand have to watch everything out there good or bad. So, something that might seem new or still fresh to us might feel done to death from their perspective, while they might get excited over some new technique or such that we're not likely to notice. Definitely need to take in both perspectives for sure!

I really like this movie, venom isn’t a villain, he is an antihero like Deadpool. By the way, some say the film life is a non canonical prequel to venom, due to the similar storyline.

i liked venom and the 2nd one.. but ill say straight up i wished they woulf have had less of a buddy cop type feel and they could have had let venom been more...well..venom

Interesting you compared Tom to Gary Oldman. He’s been in a few movies with Gary, and has always said he’s one of his biggest inspirations

I absolutely love that apart from the first ten minutes where eddie has "work attire", he's just wearing normal everyday clothes at best. no costume, no glowup, just a guy with a sweat stained sweater and the same pair of pants looking like shit.

I doubt you’ll see this Nat, but if you do, you’re mixing up psychotic with psychopathic. Psychotic means someone suffering from psychosis, typically via schizophrenia, mental breakdown or drug induced. Psychopathic means lacking normal human empathy, conscience and guilt.

theres hundreds of comics where venom acts very close to this movie he protects people he cares about in all his solo comics

"I am a loser, like you !" yeah, very complex antagonist character but I love it, Venom is awesome :D

[@nosedive616]

Tom is great in these movies and he really does a great job of playing out Eddie and Venom’s relationship but unfortunately these movies will always be weighed down a bit by the absence of Peter Parker and Spider-man. Im not one that needs to see every single comic aspect played out on screen, but there’s just some things you can’t leave out of core stories. Venom is one of my favorite characters of all time!

[@Waldorf-2020]

Objectively, this movie is not good. It ain't 'The Dark Knight'. And it certainly isn't accurate to the comic. But, I don't care. This movie is so fun and entertaining. Tom Hardy is absolutely fearless. There is no scenery that he's above chewing. (I'm starting to think of him like Nick Cage.) The rest of the cast is great as well. My big complaint is that a movie about a brain eating, alien parasite, villain turned anti-hero should be rated R. (And I'm far from a gore-hound.) Still kinda ticked I got talked out of going to see it in the theater.

[@sypherscofield9185]

Great movie reaction but I'm out here focusing on how at 28:31 her laugh sounds like a warm-up scale for singers. Am I the one who noticed that?

[@mohamedharris4325]

And dan got cheated by her girlfriend. natalie was going on rage when brock using her confidential information for his journalism respect but she is cheating on dan is not a problem, i think that is more bad using someone's career information. recent stupid movies are like men are stupid (dan) and using (brock).

i think the venom movies really needed to be rated R to reach true greatness. i wonder if that magical line of pg13 vs R actually has any impact these days. I feel like it might have in the 90s or something but you look at how big something like deadpool was didnt seem like the R rating was holding that back at all

[@PsychedelicChameleon]

Thank You Natalie Gold for reacting to Venom! While the producers changed the story substantially from the comic books, they did a wonderful job making this movie!

[@parker469a]

I don't remember Carnage very well from the 90's Spiderman cartoon but I do remember the game for SNES/Sega Genesis "Maximum Carnage". He's an extreme pain in the ass in that game. The fact you face him multiple times with other villains ganging up on you at the same time was extremely rough. Though, I do have to say that game was the best spiderman game for at least a decade.

[@wepntech]

btw, another version of venom-- he's a 'good guy'... patrolling the galaxy after he was separated from his own kind. he had a bumpy ride being corrupted by people first then having to "find himself".

[@jaimynieuwhoff2975]
