FINALLY WATCHED VENOM LET THERE BE CARNAGE THOUGHTS BELOW BECAUSE I HAVE MANY
I appreciate how Eddie and Vee are trying to work together/cohabitate and how it’s just not working and making Eddie look like he’s talking to himself and not really keeping it together after the life foundation.
Eddie bby :( the motorcycle scene on the way back from the restaurant hurt so badly
Also love that they brought up the fact that Eddie is a POI regarding the bodies and the explosion of the rocket. Also wish Mulligan had a photo of the lobster tank scene for the facial expression Eddie would have made and that alone. It’s a nice continuity piece and reminds us that these actions have consequences and grounds this fantastical story in reality
How tf does Frances know how to drive and fight? She was kept in like a 10x10 cell most of her life?
Fuck the death penalty. I still don’t think that anyone deserves the death penalty and as Eddie brought up to Venom, not everyone convicted of a crime is actually guilty. Regardless if they’re guilty or not though, we should not be allowed to decide if someone lives or dies. Do not come into my DMs or my notes clowning about this I’m not willing to debate it.
Cher and Sonny my beloveds
In comic canon Carnage is absolutely supposed to be stronger than Venom, but this was a bit ridiculous. I mean the hacking, the twister thing? That’s ridiculous even by my standards. Also: would have appreciated if Red had been coded as a woman and hated Frances not because she’s dangerous to them but because she was another woman in Cletus’s life. Its contrived and misogynistic, I know, but I would have liked more comic accuracy considering so much of the movie feels like a comic.
The scene! With Eddie deciphering Cletus’s postcard! <33333 I wish they’d done more of that and done more with Eddie and Cletus being parallels of a shitty upbringing and generally Cletus seeing Eddie as a kindred spirit. That was visually so interesting and the fact that they never did that again makes me want to SCREAM. Am I being an English major and a storyteller about this? Yes. Do I think it’s a good idea, yes obviously why else would I put this out there?
Oh for fucks’s sake if you’re going to make jokes about Eddie being raised Catholic and having a shithead for a father give us more information about that. They had a crappy build up to that and that’s not something you can reasonably drop in the third fucking act during the final battle.
Don’t fucking make Annie a plot device you bastards she’s established that she’s not a damsel in distress don’t make her one >:(
The fight scenes didn’t feel as cool in this movie, in the first one I “felt” the hits more, this one just felt repetitive and generic :(
Excited about Mulligan and Toxin but I’m a bit confused because the eyes looked very different than Eddie’s or Cletus’s
Overall, pacing was a little fast and there’s a few gaping plot holes but it was fun to watch and it was very gay so 7.5/10 on my scale
