Venom gay
the big gay history of venom
justtt the whole thing. focusing on queer themes and matters of morality, because it turns out those things are lovely intertwined. explaining the major characterisation split that makes it damn near unachievable to think of venom canon as one cohesive whole.
part 1: where undertake the the gays get off, anyway, sinking their sexy little claws so deep into venom?
good news! venom is queer at the conceptual level.
and we owe it all to: symbiotes.
the birds and bees, symbiote-style
first of all, the only two facts about symbiotes that have remained untouched by retcons and rereretcons over the years are these:
- they are aliens.
- they reproduce asexually.
this means that symbiotes work outside of the concepts of sex and gender. human standards do not apply to them. they’ve got no frame of reference.
so, when we perform introduce a symbiote to our cultural context - by, in-universe, bringing it to earth, or, on a meta level, it existence written for humans, by humans - there’s always, always something rife with queer appeal going on.
'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' Is a Gay Adore Story and I'm Here for It
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the sequel to the production Venom. This sequel’s synopsis may say it’s about the new symbiote Carnage, but this movie is really about love. It’s about the love between two insane killers, and the love between an alien symbiote and a human man. And I think that’s beautiful. Spoilers ahead for Venom: Allow There Be Carnage.
Eddie and Venom
Eddie and Venom’s connection is the heart of this movie. They initiate as roommates who hold been living together for too long. Like an old married couple, they’ve grown annoyed with each other and are constantly bickering. It even gets abusive. They fight physically at one point, trying to hurt each other in ways they realize the other would tolerate from most. Venom wrecks Eddie’s apartment and leaves. At first, the two couldn’t be happier to be apart. Yet, they’ve grown codependent. Venom, particularly, misses Eddie (he is a symbiote who needs a host, after all). But first, they must find who they are as individuals. Eddie returns t
&#;Venom: The Last Dance&#; Review: A franchise&#;s death Knull
It’s always weird as hell when a comedy series tries to end on a weepy, nostalgic note, and it’s even stranger when it’s a series primarily focused around a gay romance between a nebbish journalist and his superpowered black-goo alien partner. I don’t think one could ever really describe the Venom movies as “moving,” though they do contain plenty of superlatives that one could throw at them: “unexpected delights,” “ferociously funny,” “proof that Tom Hardy is among the best working actors in Hollywood today.” It’s also an unexpectedly successful franchise, done on the (relative) cheap by Sony, which spun gold out of a Spider-Man character without ever acknowledging the wall-crawler’s influence. The first Venom was dunked on mercilessly prior to its release, but Hardy’s sheer commitment to the bit, assisted by genuinely reliable writing and a strong supporting cast, turned it into an endearing curio, which was complete of the very things that made it a laughing stock (Hardy’s weird accent, the hints of queer subtext, the Em
Venom: Let There Be Carnage has come out to the boos of critics and the applause of the general public. The Playlist’s Rodrigo Perez described it as a &#;noisy, anarchic CGI-laden weaboo porn tentacle fest.&#; His negative sentiments were not mutual by the numerous gay Venom fans on TikTok who were delighted that the Venom films reflected the queer chaos of the comics. Critics own continued to slam the film, citing valid critiques such as the overuse of CGI while ignoring the actual history of Venom comics and often misunderstanding the goal of this film.
Because this Venom sequel is not an amazing film, nor does it pretend to be one. The opening sequences of the film are awkwardly paced, the battle scenes aren’t overly innovative, and the dialogue sounds almost surreal at times, and yet the production is still enjoyable. Venom: Let There Be Carnage has accrued an 80% rating score from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes (contrasting with the 60% given by critics) and is being praised by comic fans on social media.
Venom comic fans have actively praised the film for beginning to explor
