Carnage is one of the most brutal characters in comics. He unapologetically commits so many awful and gruesome crimes and they're usually shown clear as day. Making a movie with him PG-13 just feels wrong.

[@a.r.t4954]

It’s marketing for more money

[@thehobbyist7275]

To me, the pg-13 rating was a red flag that this movie wasn't gonna be good. Venom and especially Carnage isn't Rated R? I've seen him throw infants out of windows, brutally murder anyone he feels like- part of his main appeal is his psychology. He's a supernatural serial killer with a symbiote that's stronger than Venom and Spider-Man. Most Carnage and Venom fights typically involve a team-up with Spidey (which is a part of Venom's lore that both movies seemed to ignore, but I digress). Donnie Cage's Venom, or even the character in general, works better in darker tones in my opinion. Same avenue as Wolverine, Deadpool, and the Punisher. Hell, he's an anti-hero just like them. The psychological battle with Eddie and Venom, the Dark tones with Carnage, and a similar philosophical debate on morality that Daredevil and Punisher have. I think Venom(especially looking back) ignored the important dynamic between their aligned disdain for Spider-Man, but more importantly, they didn't make Carnage a credible threat with issues and I feel this movie misses the mark in their portrayal. I'm not saying that I wanted Venom to be exactly comic book accurate, I simply want some character development and an embrace for the darker side of Marvel Comics that Sony could've explored with Venom and Carnage

100%. It should've been rated R. It could've been so much better. But I totally understand them keeping it pg-13

[@reyrey0009]

Well in the comic, the reason Carnage is red is because the part of Venom that Cletus gets fuses with his blood and his blood becomes the symbiote. It wasn't a separate entity, it's a part of Cletus. In the comics Venom refers itself as "we" because it's a symbiotic relationship but Carnage in the comics refers to himself as "I" because it's just Cletus... So technically removing Cletus' symbiote from him would kill him because it is his blood, I guess?

[@freddyjosereginomontalvo4667]

In some comics they were separated in some ocations but the simbiote always returns to Kasady because they are practically the same entity. I don't remember very well but I think that even exited a she-carnage, Spider-Man/Carnage, Ben Railly-Carnage and more. But yeah the simbiote always return to Kasady.

[@Dark6997]

Yeah another thing the symbiote wanting to kill Venom out of fear of being defeated is stupid considering children are inherently stronger than their parents in the symbiote world

[@MisterPuck]

Personally I prefer the 90’s TAS version, where the symbiot _is_ a separate entity, but Kletus is so insane that he still refers to himself as “I” instead of “We.” But there’s also a comic in which the Carnage symbiot leaves Kletus to bond with Silver Surfer so idk about that “not a separate entity” thing.

[@rga1605]

I had the impression that Carnage was created, in the comics, because Venom was evolving to be a more sympathetic character to the point it didn't make sense portray him as a villanous monster anymore, so they created Carnage to fill this role. So, in this movie, it seems they've toned down Carnage's monstruousness.

[@heartless2147]

Which is ironic because Cletus and Carnage are more symbiotic then Venom, mostly because Carnage was freshly born when he bonded with Cletus. It's like having a kid grow up with a psycho parent, that kid is only going to know one way of life. That's why Carnage says 'I' instead of 'We', he and Cletus are perfectly bonded. They should've kept that angle for the movie, but the director didn't give a shit so why should I.

Well considering half the stuff Carnage does in the comics would probably trigger the paper thin sensibilities of modern society I see why, Though I would have loved to see Carnage as the absolute imhumane monster he actually is. They had colossal potential to make a series of films with him which could have led to Venom meeting Spiderman, The Carnage Family and/or The Symbiote War. Unfortunately they did to Carnage what they did to most of Marvels biggest villains: make one film and kill them off instead of making them come back stronger or with some form of elevated threat. Red Skull, Ultron, Hela, Warmonger, Doormamu etc

I also found a little hard to get behind “adorable” Venom “Coming out of the Eddie closet” when he was bonding with innocent people until it killed them. I mean that was main reason the villain in the first movie was a bad guy, yet here Venom does it and it’s supposed to be funny.

I like how the thesis is how this is a movie made for 10-year-olds. And yet, in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a literal show for 10-year-olds, they added a bit more of a layer to how the Carnage symbiote bonded to Kasady. It's not super deep, but Kasady was exposed to Brock transforming into Venom and craved that sort of destructive power. Later on, when given the opportunity to Bond, he begged for it, but was told that he had no choice. The symbiote had to choose _him_, not the other way around. And that it as a creature is attracted to something that matches its brutality. Here, it feels like a disastrous fluke, which _can_ work in movies in certain circumstances. But it doesn't seem to carry much weight, neither for the symbiote or for Kasady. He had no idea what he was doing, so he didn't understand the gravity of his actions when he did them.

The key to writing a good kids film is to pretend that you're writing an adult film. When I think back to my childhood I watched a lot of movies that were meant for older audiences (My parents would always cover my eyes and/or ears before something violent or crude came up). I felt like movies were a constant back and forth between talking scenes and actions scenes, and even though I didn't know what all the useless babble meant at the time I still came to enjoy the pacing between action and talking. It taught me to be patient and to value whatever action scenes I got rather than wishing for a movie that was 'haha this is funny' 100% of the way through. What's cool is that when I got older and learned what the words meant my appreciation for these movies went through the roof and dramatically influenced my preferences as a writer today. Children don't need to be coddled and treated like idiots, they deserve a good logical plot and should be expected to have some degree of patience.

Preach man. I kinda had this but with star wars. I've loved it since i was a kid and what not to like it's cool and so is the story. But as I got older and could acc form an option of them properly, particularly the prequels I grew up alongside, I realised how much I grew to appreciate a lot of its elements. Many ppl hated its focus on the politics but those moments were fundamental to the story. I'll say with chest that if u take that and it's message away star wars is left to be just be a shallow " bad guy takes over cos why not and good guy win soon" story. They have their issues don't get it me wrong and could've been done better in many areas but like u said, children don't need to be treated as dumb or incapable of enjoying something complex and Is argue that it can only strengthen ur enjoyment amd appreciation of films as u get older. It did for me. Hell when I was a kid and got a bit older the prequels and clone wars humor was cringey even back then lool.

@@pian-0g445 ep 1 had amazing potential and is still I'd say a good film, however it is hampered by its faults and its mainly the writing and tone. A more mature and concise version of the story we got could've been gold and its a shame it took until ep 3 to get the maturity part. I think the tone generally is one of the biggest issues of the prequels barring ep 3. The OT wasn't for kid or for adults, it was for everyone, and yes George has said many a time it's for kids yet you don't see that in the OT whatsoever and if he did that accidentally then he's an unintentional genius since idk any other films that strike as perfect a balance for kids and adults. Then u watch the prequels and u see him lean too heavily into a more childish tone and being for kids and it alienated the majority of the fanbase who were adults. I'm glad he included mature elements despite that such as the politics, however, it was a shift back and forth between being a fun adventure for kids wid terrible humour and a story of the rise of a tyrant, the perils of corruption and democracy and how a good person became an evil one etc. I wish we got a focus on the latter but I can still appreciate the prequels for what they are.

@@Degroni and in the 80’s he and Eddie Brock were made specifically to be Spider-Mans villain, hatred was their character. We can’t ignore the fact that Venom has changed in personality to villain to anti hero, along with a lot of villains that have been rendered as anti-hero’s with a sympathetic cause currently, the story was made up for the movie because the plot devices for confrontation and conflict between Venom and Carnage was a lot different than what it is in the movie, Spider-Man isn’t a direct conflict, that has an effect on Venoms character it’s not supposed to be the 80’s version based from Peter Parker, and on the movie as a whole it’s a movie with Carnage in it that’s PG-13, fans should know what it is, and even how Superhero movies have evolved, so I can’t watch many hero movies seriously at all because I come from an era of cinema where movies were serious that all ages could enjoy in almost all genres

6:42 - I *REALLY* agree with this idea in particular. Venom doesn’t really care about “stopping bad guys”; he cares about his next meal and he realizes that he’ll have a better chance of gaining Eddie’s approval if it’s a “bad guy”. The first argument the film shows us between Eddie and Venom is over food if I remember correctly. I 100% thought Venom was taking off to go eat some people for the hell of it (which woulda made complete narrative sense) but then he goes off and gives some half assed attempt at an acceptance speech (where you can feel the mediocre writers sitting there so proud of themselves) that ends in a … mic drop. You know, that thing that was “cool” for 47 seconds back in 2009. That entire club scene was SO CRINGE. Thematically, it does NOT fit into the rest of the movie whatsoever. Venom says “I’m out of the Eddie closet!” - “I’m free!” etc, only to go do what…? Say people should accept aliens? Since WHEN has Venom ever cared about the “mistreatment of aliens”? You can tell/feel the entire scene was some strange attempt at humor/“woke”, and it came off as nothing but cringe. It made my body contort I was so uncomfortable upon first viewing. Not to mention, the first film establishes the symbiotes are capable of living off of a host for a long ass period of time, then the old host dies. Why did Venom need to switch hosts every 3 minutes in LTBC? Lazy writing

[@dr.stronk9857]

Yeah I thought that scene was pretty funny but it doesn’t make sense in the story and him switching hosts makes the only thing special about Eddie is that he doesn’t die after and hour, so he can just switch from person to person if he really wanted to

venom had a lot more going than just “i want to eat people”. he was actually investing in “stopping bad guys” or atleast helping eddie do his own goddamn job as a journalist. him ranting about heads wasn’t just about his hunger too. it was about the lack of freedom he suffered from because of eddie’s RULES. only to find that when he leaves eddie, he’s grown so attached and used to his partner that he still sticks to those rules and doesn’t even EAT anybody. even after his acceptance speech he then goes on to mope about how he wishes eddie was there to see him. same with eddie who finds out kasady might be out for him and he immediately thinks as to what VENOM would do. it’s about these two realising they’re so close and attached to each other that they really can’t stay separate.

One of the major issues with this movie, character-wise, is that the most interesting part of the first one was the "buddy cop" relationship between Eddie and Venom. Both of these characters aren't much on their own, but are at their best when paired together. So, of course, this movie keeps them separate throughout the whole second act. Yes, this is a common trope, but for it to work both characters have to be interesting on their own, and neither of them are here because they were both written to complement each other and _only_ for that.

[@PepeTheJoker]

I remember having nightmares with Carnage. That's how terrifying he was for me. But this movie feels so wrong. There's no...Carnage.

[@ReinoudvanReekumナウト]

The reason why Carnage is red in the comics is because the symbiote actually mixed with Cassady's blood. But the way it originally went is that Venom was actually carrying its offspring. But it's already clear that they had to make this work more reasonably somehow. Carnage never was in conflict with Cassady in the comics, they were technically one and the same already. But the movie had to put some kind of flaw in there somehow.

(Which is why it was a time stamped comment) If I had watched up to that point, I would’ve said that same thing, because a freeze-frame with ‘A Telling Show’ isn’t enough to convince me that he understood what the scene was, because, well, a person holding a mic and talking to people in front of an audience is literally the words, ‘A Telling Show’ put into visual form. And I don’t think Venom being under-appreciated by Eddie was something told, because the ‘Breakup Scene’ showed exactly how Eddie disrespected Venom and how Venom retaliated-showing how hurt and frustrated Venom is at him. Now before you respond, don’t take this the wrong way-I’m not trying to come across as rude. It may seem stupid that I’m writing this down, but I’ve dealt with a lot of toxicity based on having a conversation with emotions and gut reactions put first, and human decency and respect put second.

@@master0fthearts894 yeah man, relax about toxicity, me too isnt talking in a agressive way, some things may sound weird cause ita not my first language But progressing, first: Eddie Brock is right, Venom was toxic with him too, AND toxic first. The show look like don't get it more into the narrative but venom is a parasict person, he kills the persons who he enter and just Eddie accepted it cause Eddie alrg was in a bad and sad situation in the first move, and after lies and almost kill Ed, they become this relationship where Eddie couldn't go anywhere without a parasict and agressive partner, but the show made it in a way this looked cool. Venom IS agressive, toxic and deadly, almost literally forced Ed to kill others persons and was Venom who attacked Letus and create Carnage. And if you look that way, Venom wanted an apologize at the end os just WTF, so Venom was like Peter in Spider Man 3 but didn't realise that he slapped Mary Jane, or its just a funny plotpoint And second: Venom said he and eddie was over before the microphone scene, so yeah we knew that, he said it when they broke then the movie made a joke thats literally what happens

[@master0fthearts894]

@@SanguinaryoBR I’m not discounting that Venom was ever toxic/dangerous, he obviously is, but the purpose of that scene was to show Venoms side, so I didn’t bring up Eddie there, because, well, it wasn’t an Eddie-focused scene, it was a Venom one. Eddie very well has a right to feel how he does about Venom considering that he murders people left and right, after having him, his house quality plummeted, his life was thrown into a loop, etc. I’m not discounting that he did anything wrong, I mean, he’s literally an Anti-Hero. I’m just focusing on the Venom side because the scene was about Venoms side, because even if he was toxic first, credit should be delivered where credit was due-When Eddie realized about the marriage and was heartbroken, Venom comforted him and tried to help him. In a really crazy way, yeah, but he was trying his best. When Eddie needed to get back into the reporter game, it was Venom who used his powers to try and help Eddie, which payed off and did get him a great scoop and did get him back into the game. So when Eddie got mad at him for reasons that are perfectly reasonable, it made sense. But Venom getting mad back and retaliating because he felt that Eddie is ignoring him trying to help Eddie also felt reasonable because as weirdly as he may show it, he was definitely trying to help. No, previous treatment of your partner shouldn’t be ignored, but neither should current treatment. And Spider-Man 3 had a very different Symbiote than the one from the comics and Venom movies. Even if it is technically an alien, in practice, it’s just a drug to fuel Peters egotism and selfishness in that movie. It doesn’t have a conscious character-Sam Raimi said it himself in the behind the scenes that it’s an allegory for drug abuse-so different universe, different Venom. They really can’t be treated as the same thing, especially since the movies have drastically different tones. About your second point-I don’t exactly know what you’re trying to say?

[@digitalfantasies4570]

Some of that isnt entirely true, at least for the movie, this Venom never touched Spider-man so they dont have spidermans increased abilities/powers like usual, so its plain old carnage vs plain old Venom. In which case the cassidy in the films is clearly a lot less brutal with pure anger compared to the comics, he may have still killed many people but he isnt pure carnage leading towards insanity like he was in classic comics. In addition to that Carnage and Cassidy have a weaker symbiotic bond to one another in the films. So basically, in the comics you have a criminally insane psychopath who murdered family members, killed countless civilians, killed a dog and burned down an orphanage and who has such a connected bond with his symbiote's desire for death that the symbiote just refers to themselves in the first person. Compare that to Cassidy in the film who wants the love of his life, doesnt want her to get hurt and wants his story to be told to the public about how hes just a product of his upbringing. A Cassidy who constantly argues with his symbiote and has completely different desires and motives then his symbiote, with no knowledge of how to actually work together with it and who only really wants to fight Eddie because he didnt publish the story he asked for and doesnt actually seem to care much about Venom. I mean it should be pretty clear that yeah within comics it makes sense for Venom to loose, but in the movie with how they set up Cassidy and with what little is shown of Cassidy I think it makes sense that Venom won

The origin of Carnage is actually a lot more lazy than anything else as they could’ve done it where Venom’s outbursts and act ups were due to being pregnant and after Venom gives birth to Carnage it then goes on a hunt for a compatible host. Could’ve had the Symbiote find Cletus the night before his execution while he sleeps and the reason it remained dormant and why the Carnage Symbiote would want to kill Venom is because of Cletus’ twisted mind but instead it’s just “My Father must die just because”. The movie isn’t as great as it could’ve been and if you take the goofiness out of the film and replace it with actual scenes to match the tone of what the movie could’ve and should’ve been then it would’ve been a lot better as a story.

Man to be honest, I really like how they did the CGI with Venom - he looks BIG but also holds that "Alien" feel with how slick and shiny he is, same goes with Carnage, I think he looks really sick in Venom 2 but jesus christ... These characters are BRUTAL (or at least, supposed to be) yet not once do we see a spec of blood, and the film not being given the R rating is just a massive failure for Sony - look to movies like Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan, these films are amongst the best in the comic book scene and the R rating allowed for more accurate story telling, and brutality. Venom chomps a dude head off? Absolutely no feel there because it just doesn't resonate with the viewers since there is no legitimate brutality there, where there should be.

[@lazisinacrisis]

Watching this video made me realise just how much my brain filled in the gaps of storytelling for this movie. Like how I theorised that all the people Cletus killed are people he believes has wronged him (but Anne hasn't and that's why Shriek tells Cletus to stop Carnage killing her) and how Venom was pregnant with Carnage from the getgo but kept him inside himself out of fear which is why Carnage wants his father dead. Both nothing more than my fan theories but I attached them to my enjoyment of the movie.

If they had any cojones they'd go the "Logan" way since the first Venom movie. No pg-13, serious script and writing. They could've well enough bring separated version of Spiderman into these movies and end it all up with a Maximum Carnage movie.

[@Madmonkeman]

I remember as a kid I watched a Spider-Man cartoon (I forget what it was called) where it gave him better powers and seemed good at first helping him take out a bunch of villains from earlier in the story, but then he started losing his memory and he started becoming morally corrupted by it until he realized what it was doing and split leading into a fight with him and Venom. I really enjoyed that story as a kid so when the first Venom came out I was really excited for a story like that but for an older audience and was disappointed when they fairly quickly made Venom a good character and had a ton of unfunny jokes despite the potential to make a really good dark and serious movie.

That's because the film has a very friendly vibe to it. I always categorize movies like this as "if Ryan Reynolds acts as himself and just do randomly funny things." It has unimpressive story-telling, has a weak ass plot, no deep themes, shallow characterization, and the story is made with only just "fun" in mind.

Eddie is supposed to fight peter in a future movie but he's like a 30 year old man while peter is a teenager, plus they removed the reason why carnage wants to kill eddie, they literally removed his motivation in the movie. Also woody is a 60 year old man and he's supposed to play a guy in his 20-30s

[@Jose-se9pu]

They know what genre they are, they are romantic comedies! And I hope they keep that route when Venom meets Spiderman, we need a love triangle, and Hardy being 46 while Holland is 26 can be hilarious to see on screen. And Cletus is over 50 in the movie, he is 25 in the flashbacks.

The trailers made me think that they were improving certain elements from the first, but wow they went backwards.

[@juliebelle1756]

@@Filmento This movie improved on the villain a whole lot. Riot in the first film isn't a character, and Carlton Drake was very 1 dimensional as well. While neither Carnage nor Cletus are at all accurate, they're still WAY better characters and I'd say they're on parr with Venom and Eddie in the writing aspect. They also used Eddie's journalism skills and showed more conflict between Host and Symbiote. Something that was so fun about the original was that it was just Tom Hardy running around sweaty and confused for 2 hours, it's just honestly great and this movie gave us more of it. Fact of the matter is, the first movie set up a tone that this movie had to build on. It's genuinely sad that Carnage couldn't be Carnage and that they shifted Cletus so much, but if you take this movie away from the lens of a comic book viewer, then I think this movie is an overall improvement in every matter. It's still not great, but it's better.

@@SirBojo4 how can you deny this movie is literally a camp comedy about two bros trying to live together in a world where venom doesn't belong? This is literally what it's supposed to be, and no, it doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's not bad, it's entertaining and we need movies like that. You can't say it's a great or an interesting movie, but you can call it a fun and simple that you watch when you don't want to think too much, which is the entire point of the movie, and there's nothing wrong with it. Same way, it's not because a movie is directed for kids (which it isn't really but I see the point) that it's a bad movie Otherwise, all the stuff with Cletus Kasady was, in parallel, very cliche but actually a bit interesting. Sure it looks like an edgie teenager FanFiction, but this doesn't mean it's bad and I think it was rendered quite well. I liked how this allowed us to understand the character of Eddie Brock more. Like, it's not much but it's something. You can't call this movie a bad movie because all it tries to be is a fun bromance movie featuring a serial killer, and it does just that

[@vcamv2354]

While hearing you say "the movie was meant for 10 year olds" and "The movie was meant for kids", it came back into my mind something I always say everytime people talk about kids movies: Kids movie are... NOT just for kids! I'm not talking about you in this case, what I mean is, sometimes people, and in the case of this movie, the director itself, seem to forget kids can't go alone to the cinema to watch something! They have to go with their parents, an older relative, a parent's friend, generally, with someone older than them! Making a movie directed only for kids, is basically a shot at your own foot, cause the parents won't have nothing to enjoy and they'll take the kid once so it shuts up then never again. This thought always comes back to me whenever I see people talking about a joke in a kids movie or show they understand now, as adults, but never got it as kids. That's precisely, cause those jokes were meant for the parents or older people watching it alongside the kids! I always think about Lion King when I talk about it, cause it's a perfect example of a movie which delivers basically the same message to 3 different generations, but each one can understand it in a different level and still understand and love te movie! Basically, a kid could get a message of "respect your parents" and "be responsible" while a teenager could understand a message of "You don't need to be overwhelmed by other expectations, not blame yourself for the tragedies in your life, and maturing, is about becoming your own self, as much as it is taking responsability for things", and adults can get a message of "Even if you're doing it in good faith, sometimes expecting much can create pressure into your kids", or something along these lines. Although, let's be honest, a Venom\Carnage movie should never be made for the kids, this movie could've been slightly better simply by understanding the simple fact you can't make a movie only directed at kids, unless it's a direct to DVD\TV movie
