Sal's story about finding the Stan Lee interview in an old issue of Playboy is priceless

[@Night221Shadow]

Venom is a metaphor for when one of your friends doesn’t really have much going, so you try to give them some tips and you create a monster of your own demise. It could also be a analogy for a poisonous relationship which is why it’s symbiotic by nature. It’s why Venom is kind of like an ex that never got over Peter. Carnage could be the illegitimate child that makes Peter pay child support twenty years later. Or Venom and Carnage are just cool drawings.

[@sollyswolly1623]

Venom's lineage are all just one big metaphor for generational cycles of violence

[@rivwilson9330]

Everything between 50:00 and 1:00:00 is gold. The banter between the sinister six members, the sexy montage bit. I still have the rest of the episode left but damn I needed to express my enjoyment of what is some of the funniest back issues ever.

I love Peter Parker and Mary Jane as a married couple and I miss them so much as a couple 😢 thank god nick Spencer at least gave us Peter Parker and Mary Jane back as a couple which I am happy 😃 about that.

[@chisasa9509]

But I HATED MJ in Tom Holland's Web-Head. She was so reluctant And uncommitted to being a person. She is just the exact opposite of Mary Jane's Emotional Passionate Tear soaked Heart pounding love towards Peter. She just teases him on occasion to remind him that no superhero should feel out of touch at what makes them human, remind them of what's really important. Loving each other. Any Spiderman book without a love story fuelling Parkers actions to beat impossible odds is trying too hard to be a mature story.
