I'm so sorry, I didn't even know she was sick.

[@0rb1sXL1mb0]

What annoyed me to no end in Venom is that they put quite some focus on Brock getting really sick after the bond. He needed days to adjust. And he was supposed to be a perfect match. Ann was ready to go immediately after her temporary bond, without any side effects. In the third movie they forgot about the side effects altogether, where in the end, multiple people just get upgraded to superhero status and start doing superhero stuff. What happened to that perfect match idea? If that's no longer a thing, anyone can be Venom, and Brock is nothing special.

[@bigblueboyscout1]

Be careful, someone is going to see that you made a great point about the movie and criticism will come. I'm being sarcastic of course, I agree with this take 100 percent.

[@ephraimwinslow]

Surest sign that a franchise isn't actually a story: The people who make the sequels legitimately didn't bother to rewatch the other ones for consistency.

[@oleguzumaki]

I don't remember the first movie, though in the third one maybe they were able to merge with other people only for a short duration (as long as it's needed for the movie or the fight)? And then symbiotes either leave people or these people die. Or maybe the scientists experimented on these symbiotes somehow. P.S., for "special" people, I am not defending the movie.

[@michaelmeux4137]

Yet, the big wigs at Sony will say the movie was fantastic and its failures are our fault for not liking it more.

[@olivergiggins7931]

Dakota Johnson isn't a solid actress. She's played someone acting like they can't be bothered in Fifty Shades of Grey, someone acting like they can't be bothered in Persuasion, and someone acting like they can't be bothered in Madam Web. After a while we just need to asks ourselves if the neppo baby can ever just pretend like the things happening around her matter. You know, "acting". The fact she often picks shitty films to be in seems to be covering for her so far, but that isn't a good talent either.

[@pyepye-io4vu]

Dakota Johnson is the definition of nepo baby, look up in dictionary, probably it has her picture next to it.

You haven't seen some of her really good work then. Try the more indie stuff and you might be shocked.

What drives me truly insane is that they could've used any of the spider men in any of these movies and just chose not to. The idiot CEO was like "these are objectively good movies, I don't understand why people don't like them, no it MUST be the customers who are wrong, release Kraven!!!" Like come ON man these movies are dogsh*t and just goes to show you having too much ceo leverage in these executive decisions with the movies leads to constant horrible flops and terrible effects, dialogue and acting. Enough.

[@jonfreeman9682]

The problem is spider verse isn't much of a universe. It's basically Spider-Man and a bunch of villains they're trying to turn into heroes. Venom was a hit though scoring $2 billion box office in 3 movies but the other villains are C rate characters at best.

[@EternalNightingale]

Idk if giving Disney access to spiderman character didn’t allow Sony themselves to use it otherwise I’d gladly have TASM 3 over anything Tom holland spidey I would’ve loved for Sony to build on the TASM universe with these villains and have him actually included in venom kraven and morbius, oh well maybe in a parallel universe they got it.

[@Arcilios]

@EternalNightingale no man it came out like a week or two ago that Sony had access to ALL spidermen the entire time. Through sheer ego and hubris, they just didn't want to use him because the stupid CEO thought the horrible Sony movies were "objectively good" without Spiderman in them. He genuinely thought the steaming piles of live action crap that Sony has been pumping out for the past decade plus were actually good on their own and didnt need Spider-Man. Pure stupidity from Sony and their ceo/executives.

First Venom was entertaining, solely because of Tom Hardy, but every other movie in this "universe" was pure shit.

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

If I was in charge, I would've had Venom be loosely connected to the Amazing Spiderman. Then I'd have that version of Flash Thompson join the marines and lose his legs. Getting the opportunity to get his legs back by becoming Agent Venom. Then you can have him crossover with Venom. They teamup to fight Carnage. Have him essentially be the bridge to this interconnected world. Madam Web I'd have it be more like Terminator and also Exiles where they go around to each universe to do a mission, and leave once its done. This universe they are tasked with protecting Peter's parents from the villain and making sure he is born. Then at the end, before leaving, Madam Web gives Peter pajamas with his trademark Spiderman colors. And we get a post credit scene that shows an entire society of people hunting Spiderman across the multiverse.

And the line at the end of Kraven the Hunter when Kraven's brother tells Kraven that he has always been a chameleon, I was like this is the greatest writing of all time. I know it's a super hero film, but the writing is so spot on, it's near perfect. One KZbinr compared Kraven the Hunter to King Leer, yeah, it's that good my brother. Now go buy your ticket to Kraven the Hunter. If Kraven the Hunter does bad at the box office, it's your fault my brothers.

[@jadenkarpoff9158]

I watched Morbius and Madame Web with my dad about a week ago. Both are bad films of course, but Madame Web was way worse than Morbius. It had more “so bad it’s good” moments, but also a lot more boring moments; I FELT that 2 hour run time a lot more than I felt Morbius. If Morbius played more into Milo not being openly hostile towards Michael and forced Morbius to make the first move to protect people, I would have liked it a lot more, but no Milo way too quickly switches to trying to kill Michael. Conversely, there is no salvaging Madame Web, it seriously feels like a fake movie. Like, she warps to the heart of the Peruvian Amazon and back in the span of a day using pictures of trees to guide her 😂.

[@jessewintermute8031]

Dude, morbius is so bad lol. Madam web at least had Dakota.

In Morbius defense, the part where Morbius is explaining his power while trying them out is because he's a doctor. He is trying to record all of his new findings of his abilities and recording. Most doctors do that, you know.

[@A.D.I.D.A.S-916]

I think the real brainwashed fans are the ones who made things like the mcu so profitable like the normie sheep they are, if that didn’t happen none of these garbage b comic movies would’ve ever been created. Look how marvel just shook the keys in front of the baby’s face. They had retired Downey jr reveal himself as dr doom and all the normies collectively shot one out while seal clapping. I think films are dead, movies are made now to make as much money as possible, not to tell a story, or convey some emotion or experience. It’s all trash. And I don’t care how pretentious I sound im sick of it all

[@justforever96]

Because movies used to be made just for the sake of creating art, not to make money, right? It used to be possible to make both. And when they made trivial crap they made it for cheap, and didn't pretend it was anything but what it was. They got greedy and they want to make to much off each film and it's ruining all of them. But they were always to make money, it's an industry.

[@Dovah21]

I genuinely enjoyed the first Venom movie. I'm such a huge mark for the character. I thought the humor fit OK for the first outing, it made sense for Eddie to be at odds with Venom at the outset, and while the movie wasn't a masterpiece, the things it needed to get right as the "first Venom movie", I feel it did get right. Then the sequel happened....it is very hard for me to put into words just how much I resent Let There Be Carnage, from start to finish. That movie is the concept of 'disappointment', distilled and bottled with exact attention to detail. I have yet to see Last Dance, and at this point, I cannot possibly be missing anything there.

[@robs7798]

FWIW I hated 2 far more than 3. They are all objectively bad, but 2 was truly something else. The definition of wasted potential. 3 is a slog but ok in a brainless cgi action movie way. Gives nowhere near the feels it wants to - unless you're 12.

I realised Venom 1 only succeeded for 2 reasons: 1. Snyder-ism was at it's peak and anything considered "too violent for the MCU" was considered top tier by default. 2. It was "comic accurate". A term that has become the bane of my existence because you can make the most dogwater movie, but as long as it's "cOmIc AcCuRaTe" it'll get all the praise in the world.

Honestly, every decision that Sony made ranges from at best "baffling" to at worst "complete and utter insanity". I mean, ffs, who in their right mind would make a movie about Madame Web? If you needed a female superhero in the spider-verse... Um, What about Spiderwoman? Or just go with Spider Gwen like they did in the animation department. Or let's think of Kraven. Dude could have had so many good story lines. Maybe just the origin on how this guy goes mad and starts hunting people after besting every animal he could think of. Make it a horror story. Venom. Damn I love Venom and I absolutely hate the movies. The first one was bad but borderline defensible. The other two, I haven't even bothered to watch since they would just make me sad. Morbius... Good Lord. Of all the villains you went with Morbius, Sony? Why? He's D tier at best even in the comics. Why not go with Chameleon or Shocker or even fucking Jackal. They're all bad but at least you could launch the Clone Saga with Jackal or you could do a fun heist show with Chameleon. Or even a down on his luck loser who gets power movie with Shocker. I honestly think the only two good writers went to that department btw. At least that has been giving us good movies. All I can say about Sony is "Good riddance to bad trash." And now I'm genuinely quite curious about how bad Madame Web can be. Morbius, I could take about 15 minutes of it but damn that was terrible.

[@pyepye-io4vu]

Madame Web was made to hold on to the rights.

[@Appl_Jax]

I saw the first one, didn't realize I missed the second one, and saw the third one thinking it was the second... they stunk.
