As I see this alien monster with sharp teeth do unspeakable things to numerous people, I still somehow find the scariest image in this series one where a group of goons walk up to a wheelchair-bound geriatric person to threaten him, and the old man responds, unblinkingly, with "We're both dying here."
If I remember correctly I think the reason Hydro-Man was used in Spider-Man The Animated Series is because they weren't able to use Sandman in the show due to the at the time in development James Cameron Spider-Man movie which was going to feature Sandman and Electro. It's also why they didn't introduce Electro in the show until after that movie had officially been cancelled and when they did he was the Red Skull's son.
@@hamzadawuddude WAS used in Spectacular Spider-Man, it could be that a lot of people mix these two shows in their heads because they’re the most popular tv shows Spidey’s ever had
i love how much you guys are experimenting recently, with more emphasis on context and analysis, the redux eps, combined with the usual great banter this past year has given some of the best back issues ever. just banger after banger on a weekly basis, love you guys!
If I remember correctly, the 90s animated series initially used Hydro Man because they couldn't use Sandman because of rights issue with the James Cameron film that was in production back then and was supposed to feature Sandman and Electro. That's also why Elrctro doesn't show up until way later in the show's run.
Oh my god I almost forgot that UA-cam videos used to have a 30 min time limit... fuck I feel old **Starts rapidly aging into dust like the nazi dude from Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade**
Fun fact: People behind TAS couldn't use Sandman or Electro because of James Cameron's Canceled Spider-Man movie but after that fell throug they were able to get Electro in the last season
24:59 speaking on the Chrissy point some more. The lead example I can think of when a character was just low-key written out of a show was Judy from Family Matters The running gag has always been "Judy got sent up to her room and never came back down" ☠️😶😂
On Boy Meets World Cory had a younger sister that disappeared for a long time before they finally decided to recast and she came down mentioning how she was grounded to her room for a really long time.
I honestly think the concept of the Hobgoblin, what if someone had these abilities but wasn't utterly insane, could work so well with other villains. What if a smarter, more resourceful person gained Hydro-Man or Sandman or Electro's powers? They'd be terrifying and would really test Spider-Man, for one.
The problem with Hydro Man is he has no motivation. Sandman at least was a crook so that's all he knows and has his daughter. It's why I wish the Hydro Man origin story from the Spider-Man TAS was canon because at least it would give him something.
@@MFSeaMen There is indeed an Eminem/Punisher crossover comics, it's not great, Linkara covered it years ago. I'm guessing the OP is making a joke about Eminem doing the theme song for the first Venom movie.
I said this last week and I stand by it; Early Venom was my favorite, and a big reason I love the Tom Hardy films. Sure he was scary, but he was mainly a comedic villain. In his first appearance, he dressed as a priest during the final fight and the first thing he ever says to Spidey is a quote from Mr. Rogers. It’s why I’m not a fan of the more generic evil monster Venoms like in Spectacular or PS5, or even the newer King In Black comics. But I LOVE the goofy Tom Hardy films, the PS1 version (as well as the fan film “Truth In Journalism”). Cause Venom DOES have depth. I love the idea of this horrific monster with the personality of a childish ex (and thinks he’s a paragon hero) The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom will forever be my all-time favorite comic book character
I mostly disagree with your perspective respectfully. I think there's more mileage in the serious Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde storytelling. BUT, to your point I will say that my favorite Venom of all was the one from the first PS1 game. Which was also my introduction to him as well. That comedic delusional anti-hero with anger problems was peak entertainment. Wish we could see that version interact with Spidey on the big screen.
@@WhelmedButReady The problem is that there are enough Jeckyll and Hyde-esque characters in Marvel already. Curt Conners/Lizard, Bruce Banner/Hulk-hell, there’s even a daredevil villain named Mr. Hyde.
Personal take but I always took venom's strength (and webs and logo and everything) as the suit trying to turn Eddie into Spider-Man, like trying to force a rebound partner into the ex you're still hung up on. So the suit is telling Brock it hates Peter but the whole time it's like tbh I wish you were Peter and I'll do everything I can to get you as close as possible
I agree with your sentiments that it is in fact time to organize a Venom Playlist. I count at least 16 stories featuring Venom and/or the symbiote that will inevitably become venom. That's as good a time to put a playlist together as any.
No freaking way the Punisher and Eminem comic slipped in here lol. Although, I love the Blade concert idea. Maybe Dazzler calls him up to the stage as a special guest. We'd at least get a Blade-Dazzler cover to reference for decades to come.
Once Al Ewing’s Venom run is over I would LOVE to see you guys cover it. It’s so interesting, convoluted, and absolutely ridiculous. Usually the recipe for my favorite Back Issues episodes.
The way they ended up explaining how the suit works is it builds on the abilities of user. So Venom is Spider-Man’s strength plus Eddie’s. It’s why each new person to wear the suit is stronger than the last.
57:00 this is what’s driven me crazy about Venom FOR YEARS. How is he stronger than Spidey? How is a normal human bodybuilder, augmented or not, stronger than the guy who can lift collapsed buildings when the plot demands it? I guess because the plot also demands that Venom be stronger… 13/10 episode of back issues for the inflatable muscles theory, the several minutes long Monopoly tangent, and the dedication to unraveling the whole pointless Nathan Lebinski sideplot, because at this point he’s become a Back Issues mascot of sorts.
With the announcement of Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection on the Switch and the PS4, I’m hyped that you guys continuing to talk about Venom! Venom is not main in Marvel vs Capcom. My mains are Spider-Man, Captain America, Gambit, Ken Masters, Jin Saotome, and Strider Hiryu. EXCELSIOR MY FRIENDS!🤓👊🏾💙🙌🏽
Venom chasing Spider-Man in a fkn truck will be engrained in my memory forever. Especially the fact he insisted on staying in "Venom mode" as he did it. It seems only Venom can drive stick.
In my family monopoly was relatively peaceful, mostly cause we never really tried to screw each other over. Jenga was the killer, my sister launched herself at my brother with the sort of murderous fury you only see in aggravated hyenas after he felled the tower
The joys of playing Monopoly lol The game created to say "Capitalism bad. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, learn with those around you." Now it's "Economically destroy those around and make those dollar bills! A Family Game!"
It's funny that the reason hydro man became a villain in the first place in his first appearance was because spider man accidentally knocked him into the ocean with some kind of machine. All Hydro Man wanted after was for spider man to apologize for turning him into Hydro Man, but spider man refuses, I think, but I don't remember exactly. If things had been different, hydro man could have been a hero instead.
Venom miniseries I'd lile to see you cover: Sinner Takes All : The follow-up to Carnage Unleashed The Madness: the one where he fights the Juggernaut, but also the one that is clearly trying to ape Vertigo stuff. The first appearance of Carnage. The new Venom Lethal Protector miniseries from 2022, and its follow-up. There is also one I can't remember the name of that stars Venom, Morbius and Demogoblin and plays more like House of Mystery-style horror story.
Fun Fact about the Werewolf, that's Eduardo Lobo. He's not technically a real Werewolf in the whole Werewolf by Night sense. He's actually a mutant who's mutant power approximates lycanthropy. X-Genes are weird like that. . .
I would love to see you guys do a redux of the storyline you covered in the first episode of back issues as a part three to this venom series! one of my favorite comic storylines of all time covered by my favorite youtube channel.
To me I always saw the symbiote as absorbing Peter’s power giving it to Eddie once he took over. That’s why Eddie has enhanced strength while Peter had his regular spider strength
Favorite moments: 11:43 Eddie doesn’t understand justification, repentance, or salvation 31:31 Peter’s pants are always on fire 39:56 “oohhhh…it’s a weapon”😂😂 48:47 😂😂 I busted out laughing The discussion at the end about Eminem and Vemon should become a short (or two idk how long they’re supposed to be)
I think the best way to explain why Peter never gotten augmented strength is due to his retaining of himself. The symbiotic relationship never took hold so it didn’t attempt to make its move. Whereas with Eddie, he welcomed it. So it bonded with him and subsequently unlocked all the abilities. That’s my takeaway at least.
The rap talk at the end reminds me of Etrigan's rap phase 😂 More Venom coverage! What was that venom series that aped 'The Thing' and ended up with the earth getting nuked, and the only survivors are wolverine and venom? There's like weird alien G-Men trying to oppose the symbiote. I read it in my childhood and it's just so wild
Yeah, it's a bizarre book that was clearly trying to ape Vertigo and failed. But it does introduce a supporting semi-love interest character that sticks around for other miniseries.
Thank you for addressing the weird face-head situation Venom has going on with Brock. After thinking about it pretty hard myself, I what *actually* happens is that the suit itself is like a multi-purpose organ that also breaks stuff apart to digest AS it's entering the body of the suit. So the mouth itself isn't physically connected to Eddie's own dietary systems, but it IS at least somewhat wired to senses like taste, sight, etc. So, yes, Eddie absolutely can taste everything that Venom eats, but the suit itself feeds both himself and it the nutrients from consumed prey by pre-digesting the food before passing Eddie a portion of the elements consumed via a sort of osmosis
I've always loved that Spiderman has characters like Electro, Sandman, Rhino and Hydro-Man that are super powerful and just kind of simple minded, average people so they dont know how to be creative with their powers.
It’s funny how many Spider-Man stories they have done that had Nathan in it. The Return of the Sinister Six, The Saga of the Alien Costume, Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut (I think), and now this.
The best show on youtube continues it's run of awesome damn books nonstop told with chaotic finesse 👌 mentions the humorous rlm and themselves video length jokes, I had an incredibly busy but productive day and about to break out elden ring to prep for the dlc while on the exercise bike after I enjoy this wonderful episode? Well eff yes! Effing please! 😂
I actually picked up this trade you have from local store for like $5 a few months ago. Fun, nostalgia trip. The trade is referred to as, “Spider-man Vs Venom” for those curious.
1:25:11 apparently Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist at one point and venom was one of his favorite characters. I also think he had a crossover with The Punisher.
I always assumed that Brock's head is in the top part of venom's head and venoms teeth are like under Brock's chin, so that when venom eats something, it slips down Brock's front.
1:02:00 Think this is mh favourite venom moment, he can just show up at peter's house and peter has to discreetly get him away while worrying for everyone else's safety
Why is this video supposedly a week old but only has less than 200 views and is only accessible from the top of the page but not in the uploads sections? I think it may have uploaded incorrectly unless the issue is on my end if you guys wanted to reupload it to try to fix it.
Need opinions: When wanting to go back and read older runs I never know if it’s best for me to read every single issue or only a select few of what I want to see. Like venoms first appearance, should I read that whole Todd McFarland run or just those couple of issues?
I would absolutely love for you to do the Venom series by Daniel Way from 2003. It was such an intriguing story that I believe was cut tragically short. There is a full collected volume of it.
52:55 No I think that would be the time she got the stuffing beat out of her by Superior Spider-man because she didn't know Otto was in there and sent to prison.
Buy The Birth of Venom! amzn.to/3XfeiBk
As I see this alien monster with sharp teeth do unspeakable things to numerous people, I still somehow find the scariest image in this series one where a group of goons walk up to a wheelchair-bound geriatric person to threaten him, and the old man responds, unblinkingly, with "We're both dying here."
I'm not trapped in this chair with you all, you're trapped in this chair with me, or something. 🤷
Wheelchair-dome...6 men enter...one man wheels out slowly.
Call an Ambulance, for us.
*STAB!*
Not Amish, but it is called Rumspringa. Have been to Amish country in Pennsylvania, it is an interesting trip.
"There's a difference between being a crummy tipper and a were-wolf!!"

Sandman wasn't eventually used in the show at all? I... Truly never noticed, but now I feel weird.

Have you guys thought of doing the Agent Venom run on Back Issues? Flash Thompson is the most heroic Venom
Some of your gags would make good shorts though. Some of them live rent free in my head. Like the jizzler exchange with Tiffany's bewilderment
Oh my god I almost forgot that UA-cam videos used to have a 30 min time limit... fuck I feel old **Starts rapidly aging into dust like the nazi dude from Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade**
They used to be ten minute limits back in the day.
@@Ducaso I started watching UA-cam around the time they changed the limit from 10 to 30 minutes (aka 2009/2010)
If you were a partner with UA-cam I think they allowed you to have longer videos than the time limit at the time that was going on.
Fun fact: People behind TAS
couldn't use Sandman or Electro because of James Cameron's
Canceled Spider-Man movie but after that fell throug they were able to get Electro in the last season

On Boy Meets World Cory had a younger sister that disappeared for a long time before they finally decided to recast and she came down mentioning how she was grounded to her room for a really long time.
"Hydro-Man should be one of the most dangerous people in the Marvel universe..." There's a very recent Carnage series that agrees with that statement.
I honestly think the concept of the Hobgoblin, what if someone had these abilities but wasn't utterly insane, could work so well with other villains. What if a smarter, more resourceful person gained Hydro-Man or Sandman or Electro's powers?

This may be the greatest tangent episode ever, Monopoly, Werewolves, Venom...
Mj's cousin too 😂 I even forgot it was about Venom
Eminem too😂
Oh, we get to choose the next Venom book? Well I nominate the best Venom book: that Punisher/Eminem crossover.
Uhhhh. The what?
@@MFSeaMen There is indeed an Eminem/Punisher crossover comics, it's not great, Linkara covered it years ago. I'm guessing the OP is making a joke about Eminem doing the theme song for the first Venom movie.

Venom was such a silly in the animated series i still remember the knock knock bit
Streamers! Now it IS a party!
Venom chasing Spider-Man in a fkn truck will be engrained in my memory forever. Especially the fact he insisted on staying in "Venom mode" as he did it. It seems only Venom can drive stick.
Not a miniseries but maybe an episode on agent venom?
Week 9 of demanding you cover the Books of Doom and What If Secret Wars and ALL OBEY DOOM!!!
48:58 seeing the Lobo Brothers Gang War arc from Conway’s Spec on the couch would be cool
In my family monopoly was relatively peaceful, mostly cause we never really tried to screw each other over. Jenga was the killer, my sister launched herself at my brother with the sort of murderous fury you only see in aggravated hyenas after he felled the tower

I absolutely love all of your Spider-Man videos! Please keep em coming and keep up the great work!! 🔥
Venom miniseries I'd lile to see you cover:
Sinner Takes All : The follow-up to Carnage Unleashed
The Madness: the one where he fights the Juggernaut, but also the one that is clearly trying to ape Vertigo stuff.
The first appearance of Carnage.

Unfortunately Peter can’t tell something is wrong with venom. Only that something is a mish
I would love to see you guys do a redux of the storyline you covered in the first episode of back issues as a part three to this venom series! one of my favorite comic storylines of all time covered by my favorite youtube channel.
I thought I’d be first and then I saw some guy with a mustache. I swear this dude is magic or something! 😂
To me I always saw the symbiote as absorbing Peter’s power giving it to Eddie once he took over. That’s why Eddie has enhanced strength while Peter had his regular spider strength
56:41 So, what you're saying is that perhaps some part of Spider-Man imprinted onto the suit?
Favorite moments:
11:43 Eddie doesn’t understand justification, repentance, or salvation
31:31 Peter’s pants are always on fire
39:56 “oohhhh…it’s a weapon”😂😂
48:47 😂😂 I busted out laughing
The discussion at the end about Eminem and Vemon should become a short (or two idk how long they’re supposed to be)
"Hydroman has a lot of elements,"at least two!
I think the best way to explain why Peter never gotten augmented strength is due to his retaining of himself. The symbiotic relationship never took hold so it didn’t attempt to make its move.
Whereas with Eddie, he welcomed it. So it bonded with him and subsequently unlocked all the abilities.
That’s my takeaway at least.
This comic totally ends with the breakup "let the pet choose the master" trope.
The whole Monopoly bit is just me and my buds with Mario Party, which is basically Nintendo's Monopoly. lol
Man, last time you covered Venom was when Benny passed on...shit still hurts
They both finished at the same time and fell asleep. Peter is first up and takes a walk of shame!😂😂😂😂
We all know we want Flash Thompson Agent Venom
Something tells me Hydro-man is going to see new life. Comic Pop strikes again.
The rap talk at the end reminds me of Etrigan's rap phase 😂
More Venom coverage! What was that venom series that aped 'The Thing' and ended up with the earth getting nuked, and the only survivors are wolverine and venom? There's like weird alien G-Men trying to oppose the symbiote. I read it in my childhood and it's just so wild
listening to back issues has been helping me deal with some recent rough patches, love learning the history/insight around these books
yo Sal was wylin on this episode 😹😹
14:08 the ride is still good Sal 🤣
Sal, you gotta do Venom: The Madness
Weird book, with disturbing scenes, Venom vs Juggernaut, Weird art. It's a classic for Back Issues.
Yeah, it's a bizarre book that was clearly trying to ape Vertigo and failed. But it does introduce a supporting semi-love interest character that sticks around for other miniseries.
Unless he did another one that song was done for the second venom movie.
I love that volume, I have the paperback somewhere.
Venom the Hunger is a really great mini
We're keeping up the Venom momentum with this one.
man i love you guys comic pop
Thank you for addressing the weird face-head situation Venom has going on with Brock. After thinking about it pretty hard myself, I what *actually* happens is that the suit itself is like a multi-purpose organ that also breaks stuff apart to digest AS it's entering the body of the suit. So the mouth itself isn't physically connected to Eddie's own dietary systems, but it IS at least somewhat wired to senses like taste, sight, etc.
So, yes, Eddie absolutely can taste everything that Venom eats, but the suit itself feeds both himself and it the nutrients from consumed prey by pre-digesting the food before passing Eddie a portion of the elements consumed via a sort of osmosis
One of the most Off-Topic Episodes, 10/10
Venom VS. Juggernaut please
I've always loved that Spiderman has characters like Electro, Sandman, Rhino and Hydro-Man that are super powerful and just kind of simple minded, average people so they dont know how to be creative with their powers.
Doing the next story for back issues is my new favorite occasion🤙🏾
It’s funny how many Spider-Man stories they have done that had Nathan in it. The Return of the Sinister Six, The Saga of the Alien Costume, Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut (I think), and now this.
I am actually really fond of the Rick Remender Flash Thompson venom run! The trade for it is a great snapshot of all his weird villains
The best show on youtube continues it's run of awesome damn books nonstop told with chaotic finesse 👌 mentions the humorous rlm and themselves video length jokes, I had an incredibly busy but productive day and about to break out elden ring to prep for the dlc while on the exercise bike after I enjoy this wonderful episode? Well eff yes! Effing please! 😂
Those hydroman episodes were wild. They made MJ be a water clone too. Maybe the couldn’t have use the jackal? Blew my mind as a child
1:05:12 I don't know what spurred Ethan to sing that but ill take it 😂
1:26:57 also this tangent was gold as Ethan said
I actually picked up this trade you have from local store for like $5 a few months ago. Fun, nostalgia trip. The trade is referred to as, “Spider-man Vs Venom” for those curious.
You gotta admit sal the venom song is funny
This is the best version of Venom. Very good episode, so far!
1:25:11 apparently Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist at one point and venom was one of his favorite characters. I also think he had a crossover with The Punisher.
It’s true, You guys are Goated with the sauce
Yay more venom stories this is going to be tons of fun. :)
I always assumed that Brock's head is in the top part of venom's head and venoms teeth are like under Brock's chin, so that when venom eats something, it slips down Brock's front.
always great work, but when the story ends with 5+ minutes, you know you're in for a random tangent treat. those last minutes did not dissapoint 🤣🤣
that monopoly story made my day, it was awesome
Friendzone her into the Stone Age 😂😂
1:02:00

Is Agent Venom the one sal is considering 🤔 honestly my fav Venom period
I would love an agent venom back issues so much
Need opinions:

Like venoms first appearance, should I read that whole Todd McFarland run or just those couple of issues?
I love the _Concrete Jungle_ Tshirt!
Does it come in black?
I have no clue why but when Sal pointed to the camera I felt legitimate fear he was going to jump out of my phone
58:00 or maybe it always had the ability to augment strength, but Pete never noticed because he is already so strong.
Not only am I amish but I’ve been a fan since 2015
Nathan Labensky really was the worst
Hey Sal! I like your shirt, ever gonna cover Tarzan vs Predator?
I would absolutely love for you to do the Venom series by Daniel Way from 2003. It was such an intriguing story that I believe was cut tragically short. There is a full collected volume of it.
Venom: The Enemy Within! - Love me some crazy Demogoblin stories!
Follow that up with Siege of Darkness!
52:55 No I think that would be the time she got the stuffing beat out of her by Superior Spider-man because she didn't know Otto was in there and sent to prison.
