Happy Father's Day To Eddie Brock
venom is a love born from ugliness, monstrosity in a literal and moral sense. aggrieved entitlement borne from a lifetime of being hated for the crime of existing. their anger is a reclamation of power. their rage is nuclear destruction. they love revenge because it feels so fucking good to finally be the one doing the hurting. aren't you tired of being nice, don't you want to go apeshit.jpg
the last good venom comic had eddie beating an alien over the head with a trash can in his underwear and exclaiming that he's a new yorker. I fear we'll never peak like that again
one thing that's really interesting to me about carnage 2016 is the flashback scene with eddie in a cell with cletus. in the original michelinie story, that scene is played for comedy, with eddie doing push-ups and annoying cletus, which is so good and I love it. but man. reinterpreting their first meeting as this tense, violent thing is really compelling to me.
eddie newly torn from the symbiote, thought to be dead, and he's in prison. cell mate to one of the worst scumbags in there. plus the spider is still out there. he's fuming, and possibly starting to grieve, and he can't have that. he maintains his anger to push it away. turns to the nearest thing to punch. to punish
excerpt from Lethal Protector novelization by James R. Tuck, pg. 171
soon...you will be mine
With Eddie, it had been like being born anew. A baptism of blood and muscle and sinew. A holy bath to overtake everything it had ever known.
It dissolved into liquid inside him, cradled by his viscera and ribcage. A church within a church.
This was their sanctum. This was their pact. Strange words echoed deep inside both of them, from somewhere the symbiote could not yet know.
AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH, SO THEY ARE NO LONGER TWO BUT ONE FLESH
WHAT THEREFORE GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO MAN SEPARATE
venom symbiote spends enough time with eddie (and felicia, in the au) and is like. boobs. very very nice. peter is too flat, actually. it was never going to work
