      That version of Eddie wasn't written to have the same level of amoral narccisim as the Eddie from the comics. I'm sure if Eddie "fell off the wagon" and the script went in that direction, Hardy would play it well.

    As a former Marvel Editorial staff, I find this a very interesting take on the Venom. I like the fact that Eddie is portrayed as a psychopath rambling about his distorted version of "truth and justice". But Venom was a character who would've actively save the man in the alley by either mutilating or killing the muggers. His brutal actions would terrify the victim far more than the muggers. And this is what make him a villain instead of a dark hero. That's the 1 aspect I would've liked to see.

      @@shepherdofthewest4216 I lived in NY back then and got into Marvel through a high school internship. It's always good to live near a company that you would like to work for, because when the opportunity become available, it's easier to go in to apply and get an interview. But nowadays, everyone uses LinkedIn to search and apply and conduct interviews. It is all online, so you'll just have to check consistently to see if something within your interest and ability comes up if you want to work In-staff. But if you want to be a freelance artist that draws comics, the I recommend going to comic conventions and show your art to editors - talk to them, ask if this is the type of style and material they look for, because they are the ones who hire writers and artists for a book.

    This is the most interesting interpretation of Eddie Brock I've ever seen. How did Sam Raimi, of all people, make him so boring? The symbiote is basically a demon from space and some one famous for the horror genre should be able to utilize that.

    • @airsir9559
      @airsir9559 9 лет назад +103

      Huva-snak3 Not true. Venom was shoehorned into the third movie because of studio interference so the character and the movie suffered for it. Had Sam Raimi been able to place him in the fourth film, he could have dedicated more time to exploring the character.

      @1337rofflecopters 9 лет назад +16

      RikkiReptar
      I think being merged with a "Klyntar" sounds similar to demonic possession even if the stories don't evoke the super-natural. The symbiote has interests counter to your own and attempts to make you do horrible things that you ordinarily wouldn't do. It's not exactly the same, but either one can turn a good person into a monster.

    • @RikkiReptar
      @RikkiReptar 9 лет назад +20

      1337rofflecopters It's not a "merge" a merge is when one thing becomes something else. It's symbiosis, which means it works in harmony with you. Tho some of the Klyntar, namely the first generations of that species were good, some were corrupted. It may make you do bad things, but a Klyntar also feed off the hosts desires as well. I'd also like to add the fat that Venom wasn't a "monster" hence the fact he was never a villain. He was an anti-hero. Venom and Eddie Brock both just hated Spider-Man. Venom actually protected the innocent in his first many years and later on Eddie settles his differences with Spider-Man even with the Venom attached to him. In recent history the Venom symbiote was trapped and tamed by the Avengers, who then gave it to Flash Thompson to give him another chance at fighting for his country since his legs were blown off in Afghanistan. Venom is part of the "Secret Avengers" crew and is also doing missions with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Flash is also in full control tho it has a tendency to lash out on certain occasions when provoked... nothing is any bit of demonic about the Klyntar.

    This remains my favorite fan-film and my favorite audiovisual interpretation of Venom.
    It's a creative interpretation on how Eddie views journalism and the search for truth, and the details sprinkled throughout building up to the reveal of Venom are nothing short of ...CINEMA!

    Apparently I'm late to the show by two years (just saw this for the first time), but this is really, really clever in a meta way! In the tradition of the unreliable narrator, Eddie Brock, a.k.a. Venom, is a brilliant choice as a focal lens by which to deconstruct media production and consumption. And the layers keep piling on, as a defrocked journalist who also harbors a secret dark persona (Venom) that lives off of extreme human emotion filmed by young filmmakers who, not unlike the alien symbiote, makes a living off of the high drama of human emotions. It's ironic that the filmmakers "comeuppance" comes not from being voyeuristic spectators (becoming complicit in producing essentially a snuff film), but from their objection to morally compromise the integrity of their film by refusing Brock's funding. And the fact that, within the context of the story line, their film was STILL produced despite the filmmakers THEMSELVES being killed, is the satirical "piece de resistance" in which all players involved, filmmakers, subject, and audience, exploit truth for their own ends--double entendre not withstanding!

    I did not know what to expect but honestly now that it's over... I think I really like it. The ending was still somewhat unsettling despite a low budget and I just love all the Spider-Man newspapers on the walls of that room. A unique version of Eddie Brock and Venom I'd have to say and way better than Topher Grace. How another commenter mentioned he doesn't carry a lighter and how the sound cut out right before Venom was literally thrown up by Eddie I appreciate. Also how he just cut that guy off when he mentioned Spider-Man and the rant about him being the hero and protecting the city. I kinda love how he acts so upbeat a lot when he's just killing as many people as it seems he is. It felt unique especially with being in black and white. Great job guys! Definitely was a slow burn.
    Solid short-film overall. I'd like a whole Venom movie like this with more budget or it might sound crazy but maybe even a TV show. Disney+ show anybody now that there's a Multiverse? It's not likely but I'd probably watch it.

      @@brownbearboxproductions3458 Yeah I don't like how quickly Marvel moved onto the multiverse because it just makes things all the more complicated than they need to be. Fionna and Cake is a great representation of the multiverse outside of comic-related media and even then you still have the Spider-Verse movies so I think it's not the worst thing right now, in fact it's an interesting idea, but the MCU has sorta over-used it.

      JiminyCriket Have you seen The Piano? It's easily one of the greatest movies I've ever seen and every single lead performance on that film deserved an Oscar (especially Holly Hunter). Paquin's win was not a fluke.
      That said... Maybe she did peak, but if you honestly think that X-Men is not a huge enough franchise when its been keeping Fox up and the first film was one of (and possibly the most direct) the main progenitors of the comic book film, then goddamn do you have nothing to say about film.
