At that [rehearsal], Tom saw that the production designer had put a giant lobster tank in the center of the restaurant and that was just a true design choice just to make it seem like a fancy restaurant. As soon as Tom sees it, he goes, ‘Well, I’m going to go in the tank.’

Even if you’re Tom Hardy, you don’t just jump in a lobster tank and call it day. “The designer was like, ‘We didn’t build it for somebody to go in!’” Fleischer says. “And, you know, they were all live lobsters.”

Then improvised direction required the rejiggering of major elements to allow for Eddie/Venom to plunge into and feast, and for Hardy to do it all safely. As anyone who witnessed the The Mask-like spectacle, they pulled off the construction and stunt work under the wire. And the lobsters gobbled up by a Venomized Eddie? Marshmallow crustaceans with chocolate syrup blood.

So we know how two of the favorite superhero peril tropes are A) Threaten a Loved One and B) Villain unwittingly taking the in-civvies Hero as a hostage. Venom and Eddie’s situation presents an opportunity for a special hybrid of both.

Because honestly, both Venom and Eddie have all the subtlety of a firework stand in a bonfire and X Evil Organization is bound to tail the burly man-eating monster to Eddie’s home and

Goons, breaking down the door: Alright Brock, no more games

Eddie: What

Goons: Don’t play dumb here, Eddie. We know the truth and our employer is determined to have a long, violent chat with the bastard eating all of his men. So we’ll make this simple for you:

Goons: Where is your 10 ft tall cannibal boyfriend?

Eddie: 

Venom, inside Eddie: Eddie. Eddie, tell them where he is

Eddie, going thru every stage of grief and inventing new ones: ………………..um

Venom, all up in Eddie’s everything, every slime cell of him laughing to tears: Tell them where your boyfriend is, Eddie

“The Dora Milaje needed to look like a real fighting force and I feel that its impact on women is that of empowerment, but it also speaks to young girls who want to dress up as the Dora, but don’t want to wear briefs and a bustier and a belt. They may not really like showing their legs and they may want to cover their bodies and still feel like a superhero. I feel like lately that’s the thing that I have seen that makes sense to me. We’re not teaching our daughters to lead with their bodies, but with their fortitude, minds, and strength. And they’re still seen as beautiful.”

You, an intellectual: the plot twist of venom not really dying in an explosion that was sure to kill him is the product of lazy writing intended to evoke cheap emotions out of the audience.

Me, a dumbass: venom just wanted to see if Eddie would care if he died it’s basically the equivalent of the stereotypical popular girl from a 90s movie dropping her purse to see if a jock would pick it up for her
