Finally saw Venom last night and I have to say, people who said they were disappointed by the Venom/Eddie kiss because it was done through a female Venom (Anne) and it’s like?? I don’t know about you, but there was a wholesome OT3/4 going on in Venom and not a single one questioned their feelings??
I’ll admit, when Eddie revisited Anne, who got into a relationship with Dan six months after breaking off her engagement with Eddie (for reasons shown in the film), I figured I was not gonna like Dan, but no. NO. Dan was a goddamn MAN. SECURE AS HELL. A GODDAMN DOCTOR TO THE END. Eddie, his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend who may be a drug addict because he’s acting sketch as hell?? He could have gotten Eddie arrested for making a scene at the restaurant, could have been That Guy, but nope. Guy takes him to the hospital to do tests. Legitimately gives a shit about him and consoles him after a failed MRI, fucking FOLLOWS UP with lab results on what looks like his break, and did not question why Anne and Eddie were spending time with each other and was more concerned about Eddie’s parasite. Dan was compassionate as hell!! Said to Eddie, “but it’s going to be okay; were going to put you on medications, buddy.” And Eddie just respects him, at no point does he insult Dan. just mature ass men, my GOD 😭😭
And then Anne!! Badass as I knew she would be, but also set boundaries without shutting out the possibility of getting closure with Eddie. And yeah, we saw Eddie pining after Anne and it could have easily gone into a love triangle plot, but it honestly showed healthier communication between people having complex feelings than I’ve ever seen in the main MCU films.
Venom ain’t got time for bullshit. Gets straight to the point. “What actually made you stay?” “You, Eddie.” If that ain’t some romance cheese, I don’t know what is. The love was EVERYWHERE
Venom and Eddie are We, Venom and Eddie like Anne, Anne is there for support and for rescue but on her terms, Dr. Dan does his job. I legit would 100% be okay with Anne and Dan just taking in Eddie as their third, Venom and all, and they all just keep telling each other how much they care about each other, just constantly. I know it won’t happen, but I can dream.
Anyway, loved the film. Fun ride, good time. Were there issues? Probably, but in the world we live in where they’re trying to tell me A Star Is Born had a better romance than Venom, like who cares?
