![]() This appears to be changed in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, however. Related: Why Venom: Let There Be Carnage Isn't R Rated: How Violent Is It? In the comics, Carnage is red because the symbiote first bonded with Cletus Kasady's bloodstream, and the fact that Kasady is a homicidal serial killer passed those qualities to the symbiote. Even so, Peter Parker was the first person the Venom symbiote initially bonded with, so all of Spider-Man's powers were imprinted upon the symbiote from that point on. Though the Venom symbiote has bonded with a number of characters in the comics, its most notable and regular host is Eddie Brock. In the comics, the symbiotes are really the Klyntar alien race. Symbiotes come in a range of colors for different reasons, but they tend to be shaped by the personalities of their first hosts. This was already hinted at in the first Venom movie with Riot and again in the trailers for Venom 2, but the symbiotes' origin is also changed from the comics. As the lethal poison enters Cletus Kasady's bloodstream, the symbiote springs into action and takes over, transforming Cletus into Carnage for the first time. In their brief scuffle, Cletus bites Eddie's hand hard enough to draw blood and quickly realizes that something isn't right with the darkly comedic line that's been played in the trailers: " I have tasted blood before and that is not it." The blood he draws has a bit of the symbiote in it, which bonds with Cletus but remains dormant until he's sent for his execution. Cletus plays mind games with Eddie and while Eddie is annoyed but keeps his patience, Venom loses his cool and makes Eddie grab Cletus in his cell. In the movie, Eddie merely visits Cletus in prison as Cletus will only be interviewed by Eddie. Venom: Let There Be Carnage smartly changes this origin story and in doing so helps better flesh out the characters of both Cletus Kasady and of Eddie Brock. Venom's lonely offspring bonded with Cletus Kasady by entering his bloodstream and soon, Carnage was born. He was temporarily separated from Venom, and when the Venom symbiote came to rescue him from jail, it left a tiny piece of itself behind as abandoned offspring. In the Marvel comic books, Eddie Brock was actually in prison with Cletus Kasady at Ryker's Island and, for a time, was his cellmate. Here are the ten biggest reveals, twists and spoilers for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.Ĭarnage's origin is slightly different than what it is in the comics. Related: Venom 2 Cast Guide: Every Let There Be Carnage Character Explainedįor a slim and trim runtime of an hour and a half, Venom 2 has a number of reveals and important setups that will have an impact on not only Sony's Spider-Man Universe but also on the MCU moving forward. And it all gets worse when serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) decides that he and Eddie have a connection and bond. Anne (Michelle Williams) is in his life but is still with Dan (Reid Scott). Venom is desperate for the sustenance of human brains and Eddie is desperate to not be framed for murder, particularly by Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham), who is already suspicious of Eddie. The story finds Eddie Brock's career having picked up slightly, but his personal life is still a disaster. Sad face.The reviews for Venom 2 have been similar to the reviews for the first movie, with film critics who get what it's trying to do appreciating its zaniness and film critics who want something more cerebral coming away underwhelmed. And some scenes are straight up bad (cooking breakfast scene smh). We'll see if that changes anything when I watch it with subs. I'll caveat this review by saying I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue, especially from Venom. I think it shows here and I would have preferred veterans at those crucial positions. But writing and directing are talents that very few have. ![]() One more thing, Tom Hardy and Andy Serkis are awesome. Also I wish I got more development from Cletus and Carnage. But looking back on it, a movie about carnage could have been so much more. ![]() And I knew going in that even though I loved the first one, that doesn't make this one bulletproof. I try to always have no expectations going into a movie. This movie has SOOO many moments where it could have been amazing if they went all out. I could say that about the first, but it did a great job of pushing the limits while also not having too many moments where it was obvious it would have been better with blood. ![]() I also can't stand that it's not rated R. The action isn't as good as the first and neither is the music. It's also very messy with regards to the story, action and dialogue. It's fun and pretty funny with some entertaining action. ![]()
