I feel like the reason the critics hated Venom and audiences love it is bc of the sense of humor. Like all these big shot movie execs trying to figure out what kids these days are into and they spend hours researching dated vines and we, the kids these days, are like “meh, ok, they tried.”

But Tom Hardy buys pepto bismol, chugs frozen tater tots and climbs in a lobster tank and we all instantly say “oh, mood.”

And sure, a few of the jokes fell a tiny bit flat, but the humor was just so unexpected that it worked? Like if you go in expecting a dark movie about this internal struggle with your inner demons and this violent alien, and then you get cute, snarky dialogue?? It’s exactly the kind of humor you find on those really long creative writing posts on tumblr. Like it just captured our generation’s sense of humor so well. The elevator scene literally could have been a vine.

This is really true. I loved the movie, despite having some pacing issues and gaping plot holes (this is 2018, let’s not pretend that the lab would not have been covered with surveillance cameras). But so much of it felt super current and super realistic.

Guy fucks up his relationship, then does not spend the rest of the movie trying to get her back.

San Francisco contains homeless people.

We all would argue shit with our symbiot, and also throw down all the tater tots.

When you’ve screwed up your life who’s the one person who always recognizes you and has something nice to say? The liquor store/bodega staffer.

A doctor who’s like “yeah, I know this is your ex-boyfriend, but he’s a medical mystery and damnit, I want to figure out what the fuck is going on!”

How many times have I wanted to jump into a lobster tank? Many, many times.

You can tell the bad guy is evil because he wears zip-up turtlenecks. Never trust a dude in a zip-up turtlneck.
