This year, they released the new movie for Venom and it’s a mix of all the things you want in a classic monster movie but also the things you don’t want to be happening in a Spiderman movie. I know this is not actually the typical Spidey movie but this is somehow having connections with my dear Peter Parker and I think that it is very important that they do such sequels in connection to the current Spiderman movie or so we thought.

If you think about getting some reason to ditch one sequel of a marvel movie, this is probably one of them.

The Venom’s 3rd installment, not gonna lie, is some kind of reminder that not everything we wanted is going to happen and reality is that no matter how much they try to make a sequel good, it just ends up real bad. So I was wrong when I thought that this movie will actually make sense of the whole multiverse thing that is happening within the MCU; it made me more confused on how to even follow it up, is it based in the comics or not anymore? Is Disney trying to really make fun of Marvel movies right now? Coz, this is not the first time we got some joke time with Marvel sequels, I can name one, Thor: Love and Thunder is good as stand alone but useless as a sequel. They actually try their best to make the movie catchy but it isn’t working.

Let’s talk about the loophole of the plot in this movie because I really don’t like how they did dance their way to downfall. They created a problem for Venom, and they used symbiote hunters and even military to get into the story that is somehow useless. I was expecting something like a multiverse thing in which they will actually connect the entire thing with Spiderman (well, at least, I thought they actually tried to use the multiverse thing to fix things), although there were some hints that we saw in the movie, but it isn’t what we really expected.

The movie turned out to be a joke and this is actually not the only time that I did say that Disney actually is changing the whole thing. It’s like in DCU, changing a Zack Snyder plots to make it a little lighter when it’s supposed to be not at all.

Every joke and lines that they make, it’s probably just a heads up for them to be a little relatable to the kids nowadays but to be honest, I’d choose to listen to some dad jokes over a podcast than watch something worse than those.

All in all, having to watch this is like having to watch Thor: Love and Thunder all over again. They might be good as stand alone but never for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I did like the dramatic scene when Venom said goodbye to Eddie but I liked how they managed to keep the movie plot a little realistic, closer to possibility that they can actually include Agony (another symbiote, a purple one) coz Agony has a good role to play in the MCU if that happens.

The question is, is this really the end of Eddie’s story? Or they gonna have some kind of twist in the plot for them to let a Symbiote to crossover and meet Spiderman? To think about it, the Video game Spiderman 2, actually focused on how Harry’s father discovered a symbiote that can heal Harry until Peter needed it and technically owned it for himself making the story a bit really far from the classic because in the classic movies, Peter and Eddie are like frenemies and I don’t think no one can actually beat that plot coz that basically reciting ABC and 123.

I would give this 65% wonderroanne rating only because I didn’t get the sequel that I expected it to be.
