Spider-Man, the most fascinating villain in the universe？ Past lives who Decrypts the Venom.
Special feature of 1905 film network Thankfully, after more than a month of film shortage, Xiao Dianjun finally found the courage to re-enter the cinema!
After all, he’s here! The most fascinating villain in the Spider-Man universe — — Venom.
Although the word-of-mouth of foreign media in the early stage is not optimistic, the scores of IMDB7.0 and Douban 7.3 make Xiao Dianjun want to walk into the cinema and see is believing.
Sure enough, Sony didn’t disappoint this time, winning 210 million box office on the first day, which was unstoppable. Although the film is not brilliant, it is a qualified popcorn blockbuster.
From R to PG-13, the film cuts out many scenes of bloody violence and weakens the dark side of the protagonist, but adds more entertainment elements suitable for all ages.
The cute and lovable person’s design, the hilarity that can’t be caught off guard and the special effects of blood spurting are all enjoyable and joyful.
Looking at the complete film, Xiao Dianjun was not only circled by the handsome teacher Tang, but also unexpectedly got the nectar sprouting point of this sticky gossip. From an entertaining point of view, it was quite successful.
The name "venom" is a bit strange to non-comic fans. After all, his last appearance on the big screen dates back to 2007.
In order for everyone to "seamlessly enter the show", Xiao Dianjun specially prepared the following entry-level popular science guide. Don’t forget to read this article before watching teacher Tang’s version of "Poison" (I’m afraid the spoiler can wait until the horse stops ~)
What kind of creature is venom?
What is the "venom" that sounds sticky?
Before boarding in the human body, it was a pool of asphalt and ink-like symbionts carrying the mysterious power of aliens.
Without the parent star, this symbiont must be combined with the host to survive, and it will also return to the host with great strength and ability.
Symbiont+host, the combination of these two life forms can be called "venom"
Therefore, in the movie, Mr. Tang will emphasize: "We are vemon" (we are venom), and the symbiont and the host have their own needs and are indispensable, which sounds full of passion.
This role officially appeared in 1988, the 300th issue of the comic "Fantastic Spider-Man". Therefore, this year is also the 30th anniversary of the official birth of "Venom", which is very memorable.
How effective is the venom?
After watching the movie, did you feel that the transformed teacher Tang was particularly tall and powerful?
Yes, the height of venom can reach 6 feet 3 inches (190.5cm) and the weight is as high as 118 kilograms.
Therefore, the action and expression of the venom did not come from the dynamic capture, but was completely the result of computer special effects, because Teacher Tang, who is only 175cm, really couldn’t do it.
Such a big man naturally eats a lot. Venom’s favorite is all kinds of raw meat, including of course the living.
It’s naughty to flirt before eating.
As for the super power of venom, the most basic thing is super speed, endurance and strength.
You can easily lift cars and ships with your bare hands, and the speed is fast enough to catch up with bullets.
The ability to fight is extremely strong, and bullets and knives can’t help him. He can also withstand the frontal fire attack and continuous rolling attack of super heavy tanks.
The higher-level ability is liquefaction: liquefy yourself at any time and even sneak into electronic networks.
Illusion: transforming one’s hands into various cold weapons, shields, armor, etc.
Camouflage: make yourself infinitely close to the environment by imitating deformation, and then achieve the effect of invisibility.
There is also super healing ability, broken skin and cuts can be easily healed, and broken limbs can be easily regenerated.
It can also fight viruses and diseases. For example, Eddie Brock in the cartoon suffers from cancer, and the venom can continuously devour cancer cells to keep Eddie healthy.
In the cartoon, the doctor lamented that Eddie, who had terminal cancer, could miraculously survive.
What’s more frightening is that he will also absorb the super powers of the host before learning. For example, once parasitized on Spider-Man, he learned the skills of climbing walls, spider sensing and spinning.
However, there will be bugs in the ability to go against the sky. Both high temperature and ultrasound will make the venom weak.
In Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man tried to use noise to separate the venom from its host, thus defeating it.
Hero or villain?
Many viewers’ impressions of "Venom" are stuck in the version played by Topher Grice in Spider-Man 3, so they think that Venom is inherently evil, and it is Spider-Man’s sworn enemy and a complete villain.
In fact, the symbiont is actually just an unformed "little cute" from Klyntar planet. If the host is a good person, he can fight more and more bravely and even become a superhero.
If you meet a bad guy, you will become a super villain, and the evil will be worse.
In the comics, with the popularity of venom rising, people’s designs have gradually changed from villains to anti-heroes. Although it has a dark side, it will do just things, such as fighting against a more powerful enemy with Spider-Man and saving the world.
Deadly enemies have also shaken hands.
He once boarded with Thompson, an old classmate in Spider-Man, helped him repair his broken limb and eventually became a superhero venom agent. These are the hosts of positive images.
Venom agent
In this film version of "Venom", Eddie, played by Teacher Tang, also successfully influenced the symbionts, made three chapters with him, and joined hands to save the world and passed the hero addiction.
However, this process is too ugly and beautiful, and there is almost no shadow of darkness and tyranny in comics, which is why many European and American comic powder do not buy it.
In the parallel universe of comics, there is also a saying that the first host of venom was Deadpool, and it was from Deadpool that he inherited the negative and dark side, and the culprit of teaching venom badly was actually lowliness.
What is the relationship between venom and Spider-Man?
Or the simplest four words "love each other and kill each other".
In the cartoon, the host of venom before Eddie is Spider-Man peter parker.
At first, Spider-Man thought it was just an ordinary battle suit, but when he wore it, he found that this outfit had consciousness and personality, and he wanted to be one with himself forever.
Spider-Man thought it was too scary, so he took it off decisively (see Spider-Man 3 for details).
A "doomed love"
On the other hand, Eddie Brock was originally a small reporter who despised the bottom of the chain, because he became famous for reporting serial killers.
But Spider-Man, who loves bravado, caught the real killer. This made the public discover that Eddie’s source was just a psychopath who claimed to be a "murderer".
This directly led to Eddie losing his reputation and his job, which led to an issue with Spider-Man.
So, two souls who have new and old enmities with Spider-Man are thus united, and Spider-Man naturally becomes their common enemy.
But interestingly, from the very beginning, the venom was set with the meaning of "black Spider-Man".
It has superpowers similar to those of Spider-Man, and it also has a dark side sealed by Spider-Man, just like another personality of Spider-Man. In this way, the relationship between the two is naturally endless, and the reason is still chaotic.
It is worth mentioning that when they kill each other, they will also join hands to fight against the common enemy, such as the "slaughter" in the egg (to be discussed in detail later).
Who is the red hair in the egg?
In the ending egg, Eddie comes to San Quentin prison in San Francisco. The red-haired man played by Woody Haeerlson has been waiting there for a long time, and it is chilling to laugh at the evil spirit.
He is the super villain in Spider-Man’s universe and is expected to be the "slaughter" of the next big boss.
His real name is cletus kasady, and he is a natural killer with 11 lives. Combined with the eggs (red symbionts) left by the venom in prison, it became a "slaughter".
In a sense, slaughter is the "son" of venom.
You know, the movie Venom is mainly based on two cartoons — — Fatal Protector in 1993 and Symbiotic Planet in 1995.
In The Deadly Protector, slaughter is the common enemy of Spider-Man and Venom. So this egg has hinted at the future direction of the plot.
In the cartoon, Venom has five other "children" (made under the control of Life Foundation): riot, howling, devouring, whipping and extremes. (But judging from the setting of the movie, these people will all be brought to the earth by spaceship, not descendants of venom. )
Where is the future of venom?
Tom Hardy revealed that he has signed contracts for three "Venom" films, but whether the film can be made or not depends on the box office and word of mouth of the first film.
Since the release of Venom in North Marvel Comics on October 5th, the global box office has reached 545 million (still growing), ranking in the middle of’s works.
Although European and American film critics kept negative comments, the audience rating of the film on IMDB reached 7 points. With such achievements as a guarantee, it is no accident that a sequel is already planned.
As we all know, Sony only owns the right to shoot "Spider-Man Universe" and "rented" Spider back to Marvel Comics. At present, although the base, cute and funny temperament of "Venom" series is in the same strain as that of Marvel Comics, it is unlikely that "Venom" series will be reunited.
As for when Spider will return to the team, there is no fixed date, but Mr. Tang has begun to secretly poke and look forward to playing against his Dutch brother. After all, it is hard for us to imagine a "universe" without Spider-Man’s venom.
