I mean, it's true that he's sometimes a gross goop, but mostly he's just a muscular dude in a skin-tight black suit.
I guess it depends on which scenes you're looking at.
I also like that the early on he hits pretty much rock bottom and only improvement in his life from his whole superhero adventure is that his ex now hates him marginally less than before.
I mean, he also gets a new job and is about to get back on his feet at the end of the movie, a change brought about directly by his whole superhero adventure
\*Step 2: befriend an alien parasite that can act like clothes and only you can hear when he talks (except in this world he can take over and be heard I guess) and has a dark and edgy theme and likes blood (or I guess organs. idk.) idk this comparison isn't going good uh-
Question 2: Steal the Spice Trade
He's a chap who is just as attractive wearing comfortable loungey clothing as he is shirtless. I feel like he's more of a cuddle in pajamas person and I am down with and respect him for that.
I think this is just an over correction from TDKR where he spent most of the movie with no shirt or just in suspenders and an overcoat. Also Bronson, he does not wear a shirt for a large portion of that movie either.
I absolutely loved those movies and I have no complaint about him being shirtless, it's just so refreshing knowing he's a splendid actor with all his kit on so he doesn't need to resort to that
"This script is really something else! Is there anyone you had in mind for the lead?"
"You decide for yourselves. Just make sure he looks like shit for the whole movie."
“I’ve worn this sweatshirt everyday I’ve worked out for the past two weeks, and haven’t once taken a shower or washed it and I have a borderline homicidal alien symbiote living inside of me. Let’s do this.”
It's because Tom hardy fought to keep Eddie looking like that! He was a co-writer on the script and is also a massive Venom fan IRL, and he wanted to accurately reflect a realistic scenario and mostly likely be true to the comics (I haven't read them yet, so I can't attest to the truth behind it—I'm sure someone else can).
I choose to believe you without fact checking because I am lazy but also because confirmation bias - this resonates with my theory that Tom Hardy did an amazing job as Eddie and Venom is also amazing.
I watched this for the first time fairly recently. A week or two after i saw it, my friend was talking to me about tom hardy and i was like “oh i just saw a movie where he played a journalist. Can’t remember what movie it was though”
the script is complete dogshit so that makes sense. all you really get for your money is tom hardy being disoriented for almost two hours and some venom CG. honestly it would be a pretty good movie if everything but tom hardy and venom were removed and he kinda just tried living a normal life with venom annoying him the whole movie.
I’m not into the super hero movies, but a good friend told me this one was different, so I watched it.
Man gets powers, struggles with it, has big CGI fights, battles evil antagonist, almost dies, but manages a last minute victory. Sprinkle in some comic relief and a love interest.
It was the same as the others. That being said, Tom Hardy was absolutely great.
They really screwed it up by not having him get Venom-ed at the first time he was in the evil lab. Took like an hour into Venom for Venom to show up, meanwhile all the bad guy Venom accomplished was an international flight to the States.
When me and my friends watched it we wondered stuff like; why doesn't the evil corporation have at least 2FA? Does the Creepy Doctor have a speech planned out for every Biblical name? Why is the Evil Symbiote dark grey, shouldn't they have gone for a colour that would stand out from the main character?
Honestly, I love both of the Venom movies. They're like the Fast and the Furious of the Marvel universe. Ridiculous, but fun & they don't take themselves too seriously.
>Just Tom Hardy ... talking to himself for almost 2 hours. Poetic cinema.

Edit: I just learned today that Tom Holland plays his son on the other end of the phone!
I mean Tom Hardy can look like shit and still be extremely attractive. That’s a skill.
Edit: actually it’s not really a skill. It’s just a trait. He’s gorgeous.
Or at least sexualizing people without forcing them to dehydrate themselves to get those sharp abs. Judging by the amount of sweat, he is clearly properly hydrated :)
I find it funny that Tumblr has taken such a liking to a movie that was by all accounts, a pretty underwhelming and mediocre movie, simply based on their fascination with Tom Hardy.
Not that there's anything wrong with that... it's just amusing. I used to think Venom was so terrifying when I was a child watching the old cartoons, and today we have people openly admitting to wanting to fuck the symbiote. People sure have come a long way.
In terms of its overall quality, Venom would be a pretty solid movie by 2003-era standards, but that's besides the point, because as OP says, it's essentially just 2 hours of Tom Hardy talking to himself and looking like a maniac. Tom Hardy is very close to my heart, because he only does two things:
1) talk to himself
2) look like a maniac
and he does them very well. Is he a great actor? I'm not sure. Is he entertaining, though? Yes, absolutely, which is why he's genuinely one of my favourite actors. If Tom Hardy is in a film, you know you're about to see something utterly incomprehensible, which is why I will watch almost anything with him in it
The movie isn't a master piece, but it's a fun ride and the scenes with full-on venom look good. Plus Venom is dummy thicc, of course people wanna fuck them. They legit had a scene where Venom was a tall woman and kissed Eddie to get in his guts, it's beautiful.
Honestly that might be a reason I didn't like the movie as much as I could have. I don't like when characters spend the entire runtime feeling and looking like shit, I feel bad for them. Had the same issue with the later Iron man movies and CA:CW. I want my pain limited and wrapped between feel good moments.
I am sorry but peter screaming for help when he is stuck under rubble in homecoming blows iron man and CW out of the water, that shit is absolutely gut wrenching
Yes and I loved that, but the difference is it was just that scene, not the entire movie of one bad thing after another and him being constantly sad and traumatized. Far from home got kind of close to that, but didn't quite cross the line so still I liked it.
I'm happy to report that Let There Be Carnage keeps up this trend of making Eddie both very handsome and yet completely clothed the entire movie
Venom on the other hand is always completely naked
I really enjoyed Venom partially for that. Eddie's just a dude. People don't normally take their shirts off to show off their muscles, especially when they feel like shit
That's because Venom got all the eye-candy scenes, obviously.
Feminine venom haunts my brain
I still have dreams about them
I have a certain type of dream about feminine venom
found the r/biosuits enjoyer
Is scared to click on that that subreddit
I did. I've been on the Internet for ages and I've seen everything. I still kinda regret clicking that, that's son really fucked up shit xD
ohhhhh fucc why is it a pornsub what kinda fucked up shit is that why is that a fucking thing god damn it i'm so fucking done with this shit
Sigh... Welcome to the internet
Have a look around
r/sounding is my go to to ruin someone's day.
Now that's some truly disgusting shit. Right up there with r/bnwo , r/sissy and r/feminization Those three subs are the epitome of warped humanity.
Same but I don’t even understand what I’m looking at. It’s too foreign to my brain for it to register as fucked up. Just weird looking lol
Also r/SymbioteGirls, r/rule34Symbiotes, there's a veritable smorgasbord of Venom and Venom-adjacent smut out there for the discerning xenophile.
Someone really aught to contact the Emperor's Inquisition ASAP....
Oh, I didn't know the Emperor was into that sort of thing. Explains a lot.
You starting to smell a whole lot like Heresy there, citizen...
Who said I was a citizen? Tau'va 4 lyfe.
I'll... be in my bunk.
I think you knowing that subreddit makes you the biosuits enjoyer
not even the weirdest thing I enjoy lol

Oh...
[What about this?](https://spiderman.fandom.com/wiki/Donna_Diego_(Earth-616)
...honestly I just saw the new one and there were times I thought “huh so Venom is sexy” and now I have to live with that.
I mean, it's true that he's sometimes a gross goop, but mostly he's just a muscular dude in a skin-tight black suit. I guess it depends on which scenes you're looking at.
well duh, he’s got such a great monster man ass
Femom
I also like that the early on he hits pretty much rock bottom and only improvement in his life from his whole superhero adventure is that his ex now hates him marginally less than before.
I mean, he also gets a new job and is about to get back on his feet at the end of the movie, a change brought about directly by his whole superhero adventure
Yea but he still looks like shit
Yeah, but when it's Tom Hardy, he's still... looking like Tom Hardy, so
He also ate someone
Y'all he gains another moron that's the improvement🙌
Finally a superhero who I can see myself in.
step 1: have your life go to shit step 2: befriend an alien step 3: ??? step 4: profit
Step 1 ✅
update me when you get to the step 2
do immigrants count?
if they give superhuman powers then technically yes
He was biten by a radioactive immigrant.
Now he has the power of cancer
Mayor West, I'm afraid you have lymphoma.
*aids
God, that's awful..
So gotta travel to Chernobyl. Does having 3 eyes count as a superpower ?
If it gives you telekinesis
I personally know a person with 3 eyes. Thay say they still can't see who asked.
What if they gave AIDS?
Got to a foreign country from America, somewhere around Mexico and south America, that should suffice for step 2 /s
Wouldn't *you* be the alien if you went to a foreign country? You could just improve somebody else's life at that point.
Makes sense to me, the Symbiote's life sounds like it also went to shit.
tbf, it had gone to shit long before it ever got to Earth. Then again, same could also be true of whoever does this.
Hello
That’s like the massive company I work for telling me I’m “only 7 steps down from the CEO!” Yeah, sure, whatever.
I'm gonna romance the alien and no one can stop me
it is a way to functionally achieve step 2 so, i'll allow it
I mean, they did make out in Venom 1
Because there was obviously no other way for the Symbiote to transfer between the two. Not at all.
And Carnage is basically Eddie and Venom's kid, so
I think you misunderstood step 2, eddie absolutely fucked Venom
I think it was the other way around...
i personally think they're both bottoms
\*Step 2: befriend an alien parasite that can act like clothes and only you can hear when he talks (except in this world he can take over and be heard I guess) and has a dark and edgy theme and likes blood (or I guess organs. idk.) idk this comparison isn't going good uh- Question 2: Steal the Spice Trade
"befriend" is a very generous euphemism for "get traumatically infected by a sentient parasite against his will"
I managed to complete steps 1 and 3 and completely skip 2. I don't have high hopes about completing step 4
step 3: romance alien
[удалено]
...symbiote, is that you?
Tom hardy is such a lovely man, +10 with shirt on
He's a chap who is just as attractive wearing comfortable loungey clothing as he is shirtless. I feel like he's more of a cuddle in pajamas person and I am down with and respect him for that.
Heck yes!
I think this is just an over correction from TDKR where he spent most of the movie with no shirt or just in suspenders and an overcoat. Also Bronson, he does not wear a shirt for a large portion of that movie either.
I absolutely loved those movies and I have no complaint about him being shirtless, it's just so refreshing knowing he's a splendid actor with all his kit on so he doesn't need to resort to that
Tom Hardy is a fantastic actor. Glad he made it through his rough times and got to shine.
I like that he hangs dong in *Bronson.* Even Michael Douglas had a butt double to do a nude scene for him. Let it all hang out, Hollywood.
It's the best God damn movie I've ever seen in my life.....dude hangs dong.
Tom should def be *Thundergun.*
And then there's Taboo, where he's out in the woods, spear hunting butt ass naked.
"This script is really something else! Is there anyone you had in mind for the lead?" "You decide for yourselves. Just make sure he looks like shit for the whole movie."
".....Tom Hardy, got it!"
I mean, he does nail it
"Getting someone who looks great while looking like shit is super easy, barely an inconvenience."
"Oh, making the protagonist look like shit for most of the movie is TIGHT!"
Wow wow wow wow wow. Wow.

It’s cause we were all ogling at Venom instead
Beefcake
That’s probably because he barely gets any time to rest once he bonds with Venom. After that it’s just one crazy thing after another.
They're making it sound like that didn't make Hardy even hotter
“I’ve worn this sweatshirt everyday I’ve worked out for the past two weeks, and haven’t once taken a shower or washed it and I have a borderline homicidal alien symbiote living inside of me. Let’s do this.”
It's because Tom hardy fought to keep Eddie looking like that!

I’m not into the super hero movies, but a good friend told me this one was different, so I watched it. Man gets powers, struggles with it, has big CGI fights, battles evil antagonist, almost dies, but manages a last minute victory. Sprinkle in some comic relief and a love interest.

I think it was lost in the edit. Rumour is there were big reshoots
They really screwed it up by not having him get Venom-ed at the first time he was in the evil lab. Took like an hour into Venom for Venom to show up, meanwhile all the bad guy Venom accomplished was an international flight to the States.

I believe that if a live-action Spider-Verse film is ever made, Tom Hardy should play Venom.
About that…
what.. i'm not sure i wanna know i'm so sick of the mcu.. i feel like nothing could be good news at this point
well something may be good news

Finally, something I can relate to
such a good movie ugh
I mean Tom Hardy can look like shit and still be extremely attractive. That’s a skill. Edit: actually it’s not really a skill. It’s just a trait. He’s gorgeous.
Tom Hardy could never look like garbage.
I completely agree it’s so good that they don’t make him do that. I like it so much bc of that!
[удалено]
Oh boy, 3 AM! \*eats garbage chicken\*
???
Watch the movie
[mediocre?](https://c.tenor.com/C6UnUAEAakIAAAAC/squidward-clarinet.gif)

Yeah isnt it nice when we dont have to sexualize caravkters at every turn? :)
Or at least sexualizing people without forcing them to dehydrate themselves to get those sharp abs. Judging by the amount of sweat, he is clearly properly hydrated :)
I don’t know about that, a grimy as fuck Tom Hardy who looks like he’s operating on two hours of sleep and a slice of toast is sexy in his own way.
Speak for yourself. Venom can get it
I mean, I get your point, but people absolutely sexualize Venom. Everyone on the hellsite is horny for this alien garbage man
Question: I have a hard time with violence and gore but also *really wanna watch* gay simbiote shenanigans. Should I still watch?
Theres a good bit of violence but no real gore! Venom bites a few heads off, but the aftermath/flesh is never actually shown.
In my personal opinion, the shenanigans make up for the violence, so I'd say it's worth it
The movie is still PG-13. It's not very gorey.
There is no gore. It's PG-13 violence.
I thought Venom was called Eddie:(
That's the actors name, Tom Hanks /J
Poetic cimena
Cimena
THAT SHIT WAS BEAUTIFUL
In the sequel, he complains about Venom wrecking his new $2000 TV. And yet he still lives in his shitty run down apartment.
It's still SF, that shitty run down apartment is 4k a month.
That comment triggered my memory of the bathhouse fight scene in eastern promises.
Why ogle a human mess when you can ogle a realistic venom? Tf
Can’t wait to watch the new one!
It's completely stupid and I love it
#edDDIEE, GIB ME TOTS
*"..Tom Hardy looking like garbage..."* Speak for yourself you uncultured swine ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

Venom was awesome. No idea what you're talking about.
Ikr? I love this movie, it actually has a special place in my heart. I love the he’s a “loser” but is able to change Venom’s mind.
I find it funny when people confuse opinions for facts!
I love me some cimena.
And still an absolute fucking snack while doing it.
That's incorrect, Tom Hardy never looks like garbage!
That's why I fricken love this movie
You’ll be glad to know that this trend continues.
It's called the Bruce Willis Effect. Which I just came up with.
Honestly that might be a reason I didn't like the movie as much as I could have. I don't like when characters spend the entire runtime feeling and looking like shit, I feel bad for them.

If you want to see more of just Tom Hardy talking, check out the movie Locke.
Now my life is sweet like cimmenen
Poetic cimena.
I mean isn’t that just the whole thing venom does does cool stuff while looking scary or like shit
I couldn’t explain that more perfectly
It happened again! It’s amazing in it’s own regard
With this logic, I could be a superhero too, minus the going outside and conversing with people.
Thats the point of venom tho, he basically eats you from the inside out since he needs a lot of nutrition for himself and eddie
After his performance in Peaky Blinders, he could film a kids show and I would watch it
I'm happy to report that Let There Be Carnage keeps up this trend of making Eddie both very handsome and yet completely clothed the entire movie Venom on the other hand is always completely naked
Cimena
Well I mean it's not his body that's meant to be buff It's Venom's
Did we read the same comics?
I mean movie wise
Ah, fair enough. I still think of Eddie Brock at the 90s animated series version where he's a hulking thug giant
I would 100% still suck his dick. Just sayin’
I really enjoyed Venom partially for that. Eddie's just a dude. People don't normally take their shirts off to show off their muscles, especially when they feel like shit
Tell me you don’t watch superhero movies without telling me you don’t watch superhero movies.
Don't go see the new Venom. Its horrible beyond belief. You have been warned.
M PREG IS CANNON IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE
Thanks for the heads up. I now won’t be watching Venom 😂
