Venom: Let there be Carnage

I want this scene to happen on screen:

I hope the Venom/Carnage fight is better than the Venom/Riot fight

The less said about the latter, the better...

It still doesn't look very good. Sadly.

If it's not R-rated with better lit scenes, then I think I'll hard pass on this.

Dark comedy. Had bits of horror but was definitely more fun than dark.

Jokes about eating people isn't dark comedy unless you're a 10 year old boy.

Recent actual dark comedy would be things like The Hunt, Parasite, Jojo Rabbit and even Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. (Actually make that any of Martin McDonagh's films)

Yeah its gonna be bullshit if it's not R-rated, With what happens in Cletus's backstory.

It's kind of bullshit that in this current semi-Renaissance of R-rated blockbusters they end up fu#king over Venom with mediocre PG-13, studio-controlled adaptations.

Yeah, Lets make it as kid friendly as possible, Meanwhile Cletus killed his grandmother by pushing her down a flight of stairs and then tries to murder his mother by dropping a hairdryer into her bathtub, and tortured and killed his mother's dog with a drill

what a great character for kids.

Eating people is dark. But it made people laugh. Hence dark comedy imo.

Regardless whether it works for you or not, it clearly does know what it is and worked for most people from what I can tell.

There are legit criticisms to be said towards this franchise, but your issue isnt one of them IMO.

Is Carnage supposed to be more powerful than riot

Who playing Venom?

Slowly eating people, crazy cannibals or zombies style, yes.

Swallowing them in a cartoonish style, taking a whole second? No.

Venom needed to be R-rated, but Sony chickened out, as always. They might chicken out again.

Then again take a look at how many films Wolverine got until a studio decided to do a R-rated movie for him

most of these studio's still think alot of Marvel character's are aimed at kids.

I reckon they wanted to make it compatible with the MCU.

Is it not?

The film sporadically changes from a comedic film to a horrifying film.
These two tones do not mix well at all and the jokes can get pretty cringe inducing.

It’s a train wreck of a movie, mixing and matching wildly dissonant tones, bizarre plot

it seems perpetually unsure of just how far it wants to teeter into ridiculousness. It’s an incoherent mess of tones, acting styles and visual effects

Sadly it’s first and foremost a tonal and creative failure, swinging wildly from would-be ominous sci-fi/horror to low comedy that verges on camp.

OK then.

I have little to no interest in this movie, but I hope its good. My Spiderman 361 newsstand is rocking right now. If it jumps just a little more i'm selling.
