Elai · October 06, 2018, 12:16:22 AM

Elai · October 06, 2018, 12:38:08 AM

Desty · October 06, 2018, 12:53:55 AM

I'm not gonna watch it. Gimme the rundown on why it's not a serious movie in your opinion

A Cheese Potato · October 06, 2018, 01:40:09 AM

It's tempting, but I dunno if I want to pay for it

Mmmmm Napalm · October 06, 2018, 01:19:06 PM

I am intrigued, if it's that bad I might actually see it

Desty · October 06, 2018, 01:40:56 PM

Fuck you too Eli

Elai · October 07, 2018, 11:00:51 PM

Just as hilarious the second time

🍁 Aria 🔮 · October 08, 2018, 07:41:59 AM

Watch it so they don't cancel the Kraven or Screwball movies.

Big Boss · October 08, 2018, 01:01:00 PM

I watched it today. Couldn't take it seriously at all, and after a couple of minutes I told myself that Eddie, Venom and Elon Musk were all autistic and it became much better after that. It's just a couple of autistic guys going at it.

It's impossible to take seriously. It feels like a parody movie. At least 5 times during my viewing yesterday my brothers turned to me to be like "Why is he acting like that?/Is he drunk?"

The post-credits reveal is the highlight of the film, IMO. Just a hilarious setup and casting choice on that one. It's probably my most anticipated superhero film right now.

Eddie Brock has social anxiety and learning difficulties, which is why he acts so goddamn weird with people.

Venom was probably picked on at school on his own planet and has a weird perception of what being badass is.

Indian Tesla has aspergers but is super smart and doesn't really know how to run a company properly

Headcanon makes it so much more fun lmao. I was laughing at the lines too

I'd rather them save Kraven for Tom Holland 3.

Fingers crossed they resume production on the Aunt May solo movie though.

No, it's better to let Sony fuck up their Spider(less)verse so badly that they concede and never make an awful Spidey flick again. Besides, I doubt they'd try to adapt Last/Grim Hunt so I'm not bothered by Kraven not existing in the MCU.

WE ARE CAPEKINO

XSEAN · October 08, 2018, 03:20:30 PM

Sounds like it's a bunch of

Dietrich Six · October 08, 2018, 03:48:33 PM

Your deci is showing Sean

A Cheese Potato · October 08, 2018, 04:29:06 PM

Okay fine I'll go see it today

Elai · October 08, 2018, 04:44:31 PM

This movie had a 100 million dollar budget and made 80 million in the first day.

We did it, guys. Great work.

BaconShelf · October 08, 2018, 06:26:31 PM

based venom

dabbing on the haters

🍁 Aria 🔮 · October 08, 2018, 08:32:07 PM

Yeah, the entire crowd alternated between confused laughter, bewilderment, and genuine gut-busting laughter. Not when the movie was asking for it, either.

Spoiler

I can fight dirty too

🍁 Aria 🔮 · October 08, 2018, 08:43:56 PM

Also, slightly upset at how they fucked up Eddie's character almost immediately. I liked what they had going up until

Spoiler

He goes to his ex-fiance's house and she tells him that everything was his fault. If they had used his anger against the Life Foundation/Drake as a Spidey-lite substitute I would have 100% been on board. Instead, he becomes a spastic mess and hostage hero by Venom (another thing that annoyed me) so that he's a more palatable "good guy" character. They even end on the angle that he does literally eats bad guys (which nobody ever really reacts to, because everyone in the film is on Zoloft or some shit). He's made out to be the anti-hero, why not let him BE an anti-hero?

Spoiler

At least Venom was a doofus, which they also ruined by having Venom describe himself as "a bit of a loser on his planet" which takes a lot of the terror out of him. I know carnage is stronger than him, but by dropping the bar so low with Venom it's not going to be much of a surprise when he gets his ass kicked.

If you're not excited for Woody Harrelson Cletus Kassidy you are dead inside. Just when I thought the movie couldn't get any better, they hit you with that godsend of a casting choice.

Oh no, that was amazing. I think Venom being such a punk-ass takes a lot of wind out of Carnage's strength. Venom's a powerhouse and he struggles with Carnage. Venom setting the bar low in advance by admitting that he's a loser compared to other symbiotes negates that. Now it's kind of a "no duh" thing instead of a shock.
