I saw an ad on theFacebook for a second <\/span>Venom<\/em> movie, and my first thought was, surprisingly, whyyyyyyy?\u00a0 I never saw the first one because I thought it <\/span>couldn\u2019t possibly be anything but suck<\/a>, and although from what I read, lots of critics seemed to agree with that assessment, the almighty financial results seemed to prove contrary to that notion, grossing $856 million during its run.<\/span><\/p>\n So regardless of if the movie\u2019s story, plot, acting or production sucked, it\u2019s still a success if it rakes in money, and if it rakes in money, a sequel is all but inevitable.\u00a0 So here we are, on the doorstep of a Venom 2, the sequel to a movie that has everything to do about Spider-Man but somehow doesn\u2019t have a single thing to do with Spider-Man.<\/span><\/p>\n Frankly, I could save all zero of my readers the trouble and just say to go back and read the post about the first Venom (above) and just swap out \u201cTom Hardy\u201d with \u201cWoody Harrelson,\u201d because the sentiment is exactly the same for Woody as I felt for Tom Hardy.\u00a0 In spite of the star power a guy like Woody can bring to the table, and in spite of all the positive credibility he\u2019s built up over the last decade with stuff like <\/span>True Detective<\/em> and getting into the <\/span>Star Wars<\/em> universe, he\u2019s pissed his chance to get implemented into Marvel, by tying himself up to a <\/span>Sony Pictures<\/em> Marvel film and not a <\/span>Marvel Studios<\/em> Marvel film.<\/span><\/p>\n By doing so, not only does he follow in the footsteps of a guy like Tom Hardy who blew his shot at getting onto the money printer bus of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he\u2019s also going to be mentioned in the same breath as the walking STD Jared Leto whom last I heard, was going to be in a <\/span>Morbius<\/a><\/em> film, which is another Spider-Man sub-property that will try to have a film that has nothing to do with Spider-Man.<\/span><\/p>\n Frankly, I\u2019m lukewarm on Tom Hardy, and I couldn\u2019t think any less of Jared Leto, but I actually like Woody Harrelson.\u00a0 I\u2019m sad for him that his people have steered him into such a stinky detour into the Marvel family, and I figure he could\u2019ve been so much better as a lesser character in the MCU than a pretty high-tier villain in the Sony\u2026verse, because at least he\u2019d have an actual adversary to go up against.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t have any doubts that Woody will probably be able to squeeze a good bit of watchability portraying Cletus Kassady who eventually becomes Carnage, but when the day is over, it\u2019ll be like polishing a turd.\u00a0 With no fucking SPIDER-MAN to ultimately oppose him, there\u2019s only so much road for he and Venom to actually be able to go down before they run into a brick wall of failure because you can\u2019t really have a bunch of villains going at each other without their origin being seemingly legally forbidden from interacting with them.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, much like the first Venom, I have zero intention of watching the second.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t watch either of them short of being paid to do so, and even then I\u2019d probably demand my professional freelance hourly rate in order to do so, and I\u2019d probably still bitch about wanting my money back afterward.\u00a0 I shed exactly one tear for Woody\u2019s involvement in this film, and wish that he could\u2019ve been some rando third-tier property in the MCU than to be a first-tier villain under Sony.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I saw an ad on theFacebook for a second Venom movie, and my first thought was, surprisingly, whyyyyyyy?\u00a0
