      Better yet - The Animorphs book series.
      I mean seriously. An army of alien parasitic slugs who have taken over multiple other alien species, whose enemies are the Andalites, proud centaur-like creatures with the technological power to morph. The Yeerks invade Earth secretly, taking over human minds and are so convincing that the hosts' closest friends and family can't even tell the difference. The Andalites try to fight but are taken down in orbit. One of the last surviving Andalites, war-prince Elfangor, gives five human children the power to morph and fight against the Yeerks.
      Jake, the leader, whose brother Tom is a human-Controller (Yeerk host). Marco, a jokester whose mother supposedly died years ago, his dad is a wreck, the financial state of his household is in shambles, and suddenly he finds out his mother's death was staged and she is really Visser One of the Yeerk invasion. Rachel, a salty fashionista with divorced parents and a love for fighting, who later goes pretty much insane. Cassie, a girl who cares for wild animals and hates the violent fight against the Yeerks the most. And Tobias, whose parents are both gone and he lives with his neglectful and abusive aunt and uncle. He was the first casualty of the Animorphs. If you stay in a morph past two hours, you don't come out. Ever.
      The Animorphs barely manage to keep the Yeerks from advancing on against the human race, and they can't ask for help. They don't know who could be a human-Controller, and don't want to put their friends or family in danger either. The Yeerks think they're just Andalite bandits who survived, and the Animorphs would prefer to keep it that way. Because if the Yeerks find out that they're just un-trained preteens, the whole planet is at stake.
      TL;DR - You need to do a review of the shitty Animorphs TV show once the graphic novels come out in 2020, is what I'm basically saying.

      He's not that far off from the comics really. The symbiote always had a sense of humor and over time he became more of the comedic foil to Brock's serious, haunted personality. Of course, this movie cuts out all the haunted bits, so it doesn't work as well as it should be, given Eddie is just as goofy as The Symbiote.

      @cjwrench07 4 роки тому +39

      The problem is we don’t see ANYTHING of why the old lady and young girl:
      -never aroused suspicions with their any of their actions, especially a missing young white girl in America.
      -took so long to get to SanFran, or even had the money and ability to travel there.
      - somehow knew to go to the company’s SanFran HQ, and not any of their other buildings, legal east coast rocket launching facilities, or dedicated R&D facilities.
      [any smart company/scientist would keep an intelligent alien goo, that can easily infect people’s bodies, inside an *isolated* Level 4 Biohazard lab/building, at minimum]
      - how come neither of them had any of the semi-autonomy(ability to speak for 1), that every other successfully blended person did? Or, if they did, why did both go along with following the alien voice in their head without question?
      - why didn’t anyone set off an alarm when they saw a young girl killing security and scientists: at the gate, on the main level, and all of the subsequent levels until she somehow got to the secured symbiote testing level?
      These are some of the questions I had to ignore to enjoy this movie, but I did fully enjoy it overall.

      You can _literally_ pinpoint the moment Venom decides they're ride or die for Eddie. It's when Eddie says "we" after the security guard doesn't let them pass.
      Venom repeats "We..?" then immediately afterwards offers assistance "You want up?" then advice with Anne, then assures Eddie they can fix his heart, then rescues him & saves the planet.
      The moment Eddie speaks of them as a "we" a symbiosis/package deal, Venom was 100% on-board/sticking with Eddie forever.

      Venomman’s journalism will be their connecting link as they bring out characters like Morbius. All while they milk the MCU for legitimacy with Sony made Spiderman movies.

      eventyraren The Klyntar story arc kind of retcons that to make Venom more sympathetic and explain why he swaps to the hero side more organically. The Klyntar used to be happy with a symbiotic relationship with various species and absorbing their cultures into their own until their leader bonds with a hero who harbored a dark side. It introduces megalomania to the Klyntar and the entire species starts assimilating rather than co-existing. Venom chooses he would rather retain the old ways than follow the brood and he’s sealed in a meteor and sent to drift in space forever.

      in hindisght , the spite makes sense, and the "addiction to the symbiote" he basically developed (most obvious when after getting the symbiote out he acts in a withdrawal state), BUT in hindsight.... shouldn't he getting the symbiote should have made him realize "huh. that' explains a lot"? (I know that scene is easily fixed with a minor dialogue of venom saying just 1 or 2 lines to easily convince Eddie, and we understand why that works. because he is already bonded).
      ALTHOUGH i will always give that venom this: h has the best reason why would he call himself venom.
      Although spectacular spider-man's venom loes points for me due to how his plan for exposing peter's identity was just entering the bugle, yelling "peter parker is spider-man" and apparently leaving the building (given next episode immediately starts with peter being interviewed by the bugle staff).
      I kow status quo, mind games and all..... but really? that was his start? not even attacking peter or the staff?

    • @ztslovebird
      @ztslovebird 4 роки тому +4

      Ian R. Nava Huber Fair points. If Eddie had been calm, he might have realized all the times Peter or Spidey “ruined his life” were accidents or the result of a teenager making bad decisions in the heat of the moment. But he was already pissed, so hearing the “best friend” who kept showing up & the hero who kept sabotaging his work were one & the same may have led him to the incorrect conclusion that Peter was using his double life to make Eddie miserable. And while exposing Peter’s secret identity doesn’t sound all that intimidating, Eddie was probably banking on all the news channels digging up every possible scrap of dirt in Peter’s life to ruin his credibility. Beating Spider-Man to a messy pulp is easy & a short-lived victory. Trashing his name, ruining his reputation, putting him under the merciless scrutiny of the 24 hour news cycle & the Internet? That shit can last forever.

I loved how we finally got a Miles movie, because the teenage audience, including me, love him because we really relate to him. I also loved how Peter Parker and Spider-Gwen got the spotlight as well. I love both characters, and the arc Peter goes through in this film is PHENOMENAL. It made me want to see more of him.
      Yes, that movie was fan service. It gives us Spider-Man fans what we want in a Spider-Man movie.

      I... honestly would say not. Sure, they could have shown a lot more in terms of violence, show actual blood splatter and gore. But if it still had the same story, plot, and characters, then it would have ended up the same, just with people citing it as ten-times edgier and filled with grotesque, uncensored violence. The story, characters, and writing needed a lot of work, it felt super rushed like they were just hopping from point A to point B with no stops. It was like the director was saying, "screw pacing and taking our time building up the dynamic between these two characters, we got to bullet-point this sh*t!"
      There's no levity, there's no time to breathe. There's no time given for these characters to grow and understand each other. As Critic explained, there's really is no reason for Venom to go from unstoppable hunger of death and destruction, to "I like you, let's save the world, pal." A-Rated R version would just show a lot more of the blood and carnage, but it wouldn't fix the more prominent issues with this movie, sadly.

      Iskalde Edemark The Eddie Brooke Venom considers himself a hero and Spider-Man the villain. But it’s delusional and he is murdering people for minor crimes. He is an evil mirror to Spider-Man, but out for a bloody crusade with zero real moral compass. I think the original Venom was a great villain with a well established agenda, clear flaws and a fitting form of evil. But yeah, it all hinges on him being delusional, which is not the case in this movie, this movie clearly intends Venom to be a hero, not a villain, hence cutting away all his dark sides.

    • @olserknam
      @olserknam 4 роки тому +2

      @@palaniuki Well, you're almost right. Eddie did in fact kill innocents in his first real appearance, Amazing Spider-Man #300. He regretted it even back then, but said "it was necessary if it a part of him punishing the Spider-Man" (keep in mind that back then Eddie Brock was written as a raving lunatic). Eventually this was sorta swept under the rug, Venm gradually got a more defined moral code and shifted into anti-hero territory (though he was still often written as a delusional lunatic; remember the lobster scene from the movie? This was more or less normal behavior for early 90s Venom).
