Venom (2018)	comment	Venom is an Anti-Hero sci-fi Superhero Horror movie based on the popular Marvel Comics villain-turned-anti-hero of the same name from the Spider-Man franchise. With production being handled entirely by Sony and no involvement with Marvel Studios, it was produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmachnote (both of whom were producers on The Amazing Spider-Man Series, and the former being a producer of many past Marvel features, including the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy as well as Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk with Kevin Feige) and directed by Ruben Fleischer with a script written by Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel. The movie was released on October 5th, 2018, and is the first film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.note SSU for short.Down-on-his-luck journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) finds himself looking for a big break as rumors of corrupt and unethical practices within the Life Foundation start to surface, and along the way he discovers that the corporation is forcing alien life forms known as Symbiotes to bond with unwitting test subjects. Eventually being infected by a Symbiote that's willing to help Eddie while advancing its own agenda, the two become a "superhero" known as Venom as they work together to shut down the Life Foundation for good. Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed appear as Anne Weying — Eddie Brock's ex-fiance — and Big Bad Dr. Carlton Drake, respectively. Woody Harrelson makes a cameo as Cletus Kasady in a mid-credits scene, setting up his role as Carnage for future films.Venom is meant to be the first film of a Shared Universe of Spider-Man spin-offs, focused on other superpowered characters that have been introduced across decades of comics — with nearly 900 characters free to appear in the movies without the involvement of Marvel Studios. With that in mind, the web-head himself does not appear in this film, nor is he referenced in the slightest.For a time, there was heavy speculation on whether or not Venom could be set in the continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not helping matters were conflicting views between Kevin Feige and Sony exec Amy Pascal, with Feige's being a more or less firm "no" ahead of the film's release (which Pascal later agreed with). Because of this, Spider-Man was unable to appear, or be referenced, in this film as part of the initial contract to include Spider-Man in the MCU.However, things changed in August 2019, when the end of the deal between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures was initially cancelled; the move ended those restrictions, allowing Spider-Man to appear in Venom sequels as soon as Holland signed a new contract. However, a month later, the deal was renewed after a period of negotiation, with Feige subsequently releasing a statement indicating that Holland's version of Spider-Man could be used for both the MCU and the SSU. As such, Morbius (one of the first follow-ups to this movie) features explicit connections to the MCU's Spider-Man movies.A sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, was released on October 1, 2021.Previews: Teaser, Trailer 1, Trailer 2.

They are only heard speaking when bonded to a human host, and being bonded to a host gives the symbiote full access to all of the host's memories and skills, including complete fluency in the host's native language.

Venom (2018) / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: The film features several violent moments that are notable for having no blood, likely as a way to keep it PG-13. This includes Venom biting off the heads of people (done in quick cuts or off-screen) and Riot massacring the scientists at the Life Foundation. The most human blood we see is when Riot impales Eddie and leaves him for dead.

The actual movie is more of a Black Comedy Buddy Picture with more action set pieces than horror elements, although those are still there. The trailers presented "We can do whatever we want" as vaguely threatening and from the beginning of Venom and Eddie's symbiosis, but actually it's an upbeat line from the end of the movie, by which point they're actually friends.

Venom (2018) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The Venom symbiote's villainous personality in the comics may or may not be caused by it being corrupted by Eddie's Irrational Hatred for Spider-Man. This take on the symbiote starts out cheerfully violent, macabre, and hungry for human flesh. Also, it had a pet-like loyalty to Eddie in the comics, while the film's symbiote admits it's keeping Eddie alive to keep itself alive and because he's too good a genetic match to discard and replace. The latter part at least creeps into the movie through the finale, when it admits it's grown attached to Eddie enough to abandon Riot's invasion plan and makes a Heroic Sacrifice to protect him from the exploding rocket.

Venom (2018) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: It's brought up that Venom is killing Eddie, causing his heart to shrink and leading to multiple organ failures. This proves to be the entire reason why Anne separates Eddie and Venom. After that, it's not brought up again until the final scene. Venom does assure Eddie he can "fix it", but this comes across more as desperate pleas to not be separated from his host, and it's not entirely clear if he actually can (and why he hadn't done so already if he could). The final scene of the movie does have Venom admit that Eddie's "liver is gonna start looking real delicious" if Eddie doesn't eat soon, suggesting that the repeated consumption of living flesh can stave this off and that Eddie was simply not adjusted to the Symbiote/eating enough yet.

Riot was mentioned by Venom as being very strong and capable of "shit you've never seen", giving himself "about 0" chance of defeating him. When the two begin to fight, however, Venom gets a few licks in, and Riot compliments the strength of Venom's host. It appears that Venom ultimately wins because Riot was not fighting at full capacity due to being an imperfect match with Carlton Drake.

Venom (2018) / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: In the comics, the Venom symbiote was initially worn by Peter Parker as a Spider-Man suit after he finds it on another planet before eventually separating and bonding with Eddie Brock. However, the movie makes the symbiotes independent discoveries of the Life Foundation, removing any connection to Spider-Man whatsoever. Indeed, the giant "white spider" insignia that typically appears on Venom's chest is absent, with the director implying that this was for legal reasons (most likely to do with Marvel Studios).

Venom (2018) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Venom (2018) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Eddie sees Mrs. Chen being forced to pay a protection racketeer under gunpoint, but does nothing because he knows what exactly will happen. Aside from that, whereas some Marvel characters would try to 'play hero' (the whole thing comes across as a Take That! to "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer"), Eddie's approach (staying out of it) is more pragmatic. It's only after Eddie has Venom to back him up that he does get involved, so the odds are more in his favor. After bonding with the symbiote, Eddie begins ravenously eating any available food in his apartment, including frozen tater tots and rotten chicken straight from the bin. Naturally, he pukes everything out. Just because he became a host to a Big Eater entity doesn't mean he can (and/or wants to) eat or stomach anything. Despite the scene Eddie makes at the restaurant, Dan is more concerned about his condition like any doctor would be, and runs some medical tests on him afterwards. During the chase scene, after Venom causes two of Drake's pursuing vehicles to crash into each other, Eddie looks behind him to admire the scene instead of watching where he's going. He promptly gets hit by another pursuing car, driven by The Dragon, that he might have been able to dodge if he'd been paying attention. When Treece holds Eddie (this time without the symbiote) at gunpoint, Eddie makes a desperate attempt to grab Treece's gun, only to be quickly overpowered. Just as should happen when a journalist (no matter how fit) tries to fight an overtrained security guy. Bereft of their symbiotes, Drake resorts to a regular fistfight to try and stop Eddie. Drake, the reedy scientist with no established workout or physical training regimen, loses very quickly to Eddie, who has at least fifty pounds on him and weight equipment at home, implying he at least works out regularly.

Venom (2018) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: While not exactly a villain in the comics, pre-Venom Eddie did some pretty shady things as a reporter and cared more about advancing his own career than doing the right thing. In some other cases, Depending on the Writer, Eddie's hatred of Spider-Man was so great that it was what turned the symbiote into a murderous Yandere for Spidey. This movie shows Eddie trying to do good but not always thinking his actions through. The beginning has a Hard-Work Montage of Eddie going after corrupt tech companies and discussing the plight of the homeless, followed by lightly chiding his girlfriend for working for a defense law firm that defends evil people... and then using her login information to access confidential information to interview Carlton Drake about performing life-threatening experiments on vulnerable people, which gets them fired from their jobs.

Dr. Dan Lewis gets to the root of the problem when he thinks that he's treating Eddie for a parasite: the symbiote feeds on the body's organs, causing them to atrophy. Venom gets a Heel Realization because it's in his best interest to keep Eddie alive and he likes the guy, and he reveals that if he eats living beings, then he can heal Eddie's body. The movie ends with them in a relatively healthy symbiotic relationship.

Drake is also much more upset at the symbiotes dying in the tests than the human test subjects. Drake only has access to two symbiotes. Humans... billions more where those came from.

Venom (2018) / int_6331ba26	comment	Plot Hole: The film doesn't bother to explain how the Venom symbiote is still attached to Eddie even after it separated from him and apparently died to the explosion of the Life Foundation rocket. Eddie simply accepts that the symbiote is with him again, and the film moves on from there. There's a six-month timeskip between the events at the beginning of the film and the events that lead to Eddie bonding with Venom. During that time, Riot has been spending those six months with the same old lady in Malaysia for no apparent reason.

Venom (2018) / int_b552b24	type	Truer to the Text
Venom (2018) / int_b552b24	comment	Truer to the Text: Zigzagged. This version of Venom is, in some regards, closer to his comic book counterpart compared to his previous live-action version from Spider-Man 3. Venom refers to himself as "we" instead of "I." He's also got a deeper voice. His appearance is more monstrous, more muscular and larger. He also has the iconic enormous tongue and a lot of razor-sharp teeth. He's an anti-hero rather than a straight-up sadistic villain. The symbiote turns Eddie into Venom by "eating him" (as in, the teeth form around his head, just like in the cartoon adaptations and the comics themselves), and acts more like a liquid instead of a sticky spider-entity. The comic adaptation of the movie establishes that the Symbiote is an alien from the Planet Klyntar. Averted, however, in the sense that all connections to Spider-Man are omitted, whereas the previous version was comparatively faithful to the comics' origin story. This version of Venom lacks the iconic "White Spider" chest insignia.

Other forms of artificial or pre-cooked food won't do. The blue and yellow symbiotes have trouble bonding to hosts and end up dying in captivity due to exposure to Earth's atmosphere.

Later, after Venom beats Carlton Drake's goons, heals all of Eddie's wounds, and takes him for a swim across the bay, Eddie no longer reacts with anything more than mild fear and confusion.

It says something that Venom itself tells Eddie he needs to apologize for his stupidity, though he can read Eddie's mind and knows how shitty Eddie feels about it. Eddie gets outraged when Dan (Anne's new boyfriend) shows him scans that Venom was eating through his body out of hunger since Venom hasn't eaten for a while. Venom pulls an Oh, Crap! by defending that he can make up for that through his regenerative abilities.

And he doesn't actually let the little girl ask her question, pawning it off on someone else as he goes to get ready for his interview.

He tries to comfort a homeless test subject with a biblical story about his name (despite his cynicism), talks of sacrifice (when he's not the one making the sacrifice) and promises the homeless man he won't "abandon us" (and teams up with Riot to hand over Earth to the symbiotes).

On his second visit to the store during the plot, Maria is nowhere to be seen, with her possessions still laid out on the sidewalk. It's revealed a short while later that she is one of the homeless residents Drake has been kidnapping and using as test subjects, and Eddie's attempt to break her out of the Life Foundation's science wing results in her death and Venom merging with him. When Eddie is first taken to the hospital where Dan works and is given the MRI, he storms out and passes a woman holding a dog, which is seen growling at him. Later in the film, when Dan drives the symbiote away from Eddie and locks it in the MRI room, it successfully escapes and possesses the dog for a brief period. When Carlton Drake gets increasingly agitated in his demands to launch a rocket into space to retrieve the rest of the symbiotes, the camera focuses for a moment on a scientist sitting at a desk behind Drake who looks disturbed at Drake's erratic behavior. Later, he's shown covertly attempting to implement an abort procedure to halt the launch, which, unfortunately, Drake notices.

Venom (2018) / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: There's a brief scene in which Eddie calls Dora from the Golden Gate Bridge at night. How he got there is a little questionable if you're from San Francisco and know how to get around. The scene with Anne prior to that was located at 1151 Montgomery St. After leaving her, he's seen walking past the Resolute, a wine bar way out of the way on Geary. He then ends up about 3/4 of the way across the Golden Gate Bridge, despite it being about 7 miles away from where he started. While that's totally possible to do during the day, the bridge is closed to pedestrians at night; only cyclists can use the sidewalks at such late hours, and they have to be buzzed in through a security gate. Also, he's on the western side of the bridge, where pedestrians aren't allowed to walk even during regular operating hours. He didn't have a bicycle with him in that scene. The only way this could've feasibly worked is if he went for a walk and a drink after talking to Anne, returned home to get his motorcycle, drove it all the way out to the Vista Point scenic lookout at the north end of the bridge, used the nearby walkway underneath the bridge to get to the western side, and somehow talked his way onto the western sidewalk.

At one point, Eddie admits to Anne that he's starting to enjoy being Venom's host, and Anne, too, mentions that she enjoyed the high during her brief time wearing the symbiote.

Later however, despite Venom outright stating that they had no chance against Riot, they actually make a decent showing and give Riot a hard time. Riot states that Venom found a good host. It seems that having a perfect match with the host affects a symbiote's power, because it was heavily implied Riot only took Carlton Drake as a convenience, rather than because Drake was a perfect match. It was already established that Riot can take people without killing them immediately. Venom ultimately won because his host was the best match and Riot had to use the host he just happened to be using at the time.

Venom (2018) / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Venom (2018) / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Every time the Venom Symbiote is referred as a "parasite" by other characters, it throws a hissy fit and makes threats that ultimately go nowhere. Likewise, Eddie is called out as a "loser," often by the Symbiote itself.

Venom (2018) / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License – Physics
Venom (2018) / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: Venom describes his weakness to loud sounds in terms of hertz. Specifically, sounds between 4000 and 6000 hertz hurt him. Hertz are a measure of frequency (or pitch), not volume. If Venom's weakness works as described, he'd be affected by any sound in the 4000-6000 Hz range, no matter the volume, and he'd be unaffected by low frequency (lower pitch) sounds like the sound grenades used by the SWAT team, no matter how loud. For added fun, 4-6kHz is well within but towards the high end of the human vocal range, meaning, in essence, that Venom could be harmed by, say, a panicky scream. In the scene where Eddie is riding the motorcycle and gets separated from it in midair, the Venom symbiote exudes its tendrils to grab a hold of the motorcycle and pull Eddie back onto it, without affecting the motorcycle's trajectory at all. In reality, while the symbiote would have been pulling Eddie towards the motorcycle, it also would have been pulling the motorcycle towards Eddie, and they would have met somewhere in the middle.

Venom (2018) / int_fd4f8299	type	Well-Intentioned Extremist
Venom (2018) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Drake is trying to find a way to colonize deep space to stop overpopulation and environmental disaster - even if it comes with unethical experiments on the homeless and vicious corporate abuse. And that's before he makes contact with the symbiotes - when a team brings back the symbiotes, he continues the experiments in hopes of allowing humanity to adapt to the extremes of space faster.

Venom (2018) / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Venom (2018) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Venom explains to Eddie that Riot has "shit that you've (Eddie) never seen." This leads to the following exchange when they battle Riot, who is able to morph his hands into giant weapons. After beating up the men Carlton Drake sends to Eddie's home, Venom suggests that he and Eddie bite off all their heads and pile them in a corner. Understandably, Eddie is horrified by that suggestion. Later on, Anne ends up doing exactly that to Roland Treece after the Venom symbiote temporarily uses her as a host to save Eddie. After transferring the symbiote to Eddie via Big Damn Kiss, she expresses a similar reaction to Eddie after realizing what she did to Treece. After Eddie gets home after being infected with the Venom symbiote, he immediately eats everything he sees, including several frozen tater tots that are in his fridge. What does Venom ask for when he and Eddie go out shopping for food at the end of the film? You guessed it: tater tots. And chocolate.

Venom (2018) / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Subverted in the climax, Eddie and Drake, both temporarily without their symbiotes, are fighting when Eddie pushes Drake near a ledge, where Drake notices that Riot, his symbiote, is near. Drake tries to distract Eddie long enough for Riot to reach him, but Eddie simply kicks Drake off the ledge.

Venom (2018) / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Venom (2018) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: In real life, it's often hard to determine whether a given symbiotic relationship is Mutualistic (meaning that both parties benefit), Commensalistic (meaning that one party benefits but the other isn't really affected), or Parasitic (meaning one party benefits at the expense of the other). A commonly cited example of mutualism is the Mycorrhiza clade of fungus, which lives in plants in much the same way as Venom lives in Eddie. However, the relationship is only beneficial to the plant in lean times; otherwise the fungus is more trouble than it's worth. Venom's symbiosis classification is similarly blurry; as long as the host is able to meet their newly-increased nutritional needs, said host gets superpowers at no cost. But if times become lean, Venom will have to resort to eating the hosts' own biomass. Much of the film's plot and jokes land harder for Bay Area residents - San Francisco really does suffer from all-consuming tech companies who believe ethics are optional and a major homelessness crisis; Eddie's homeless friend, as well as various gags about Eddie appearing to be a homeless maniac talking to himself (with or without Venom) ring true in SF.
