Yesterday, "Venom: Deadly Guardians" was finally released in mainland theaters. Although it was not synchronized with North America, it was fortunate that it was not deleted when it was introduced, and everyone could see the original venom cuteness.
"Venom" has soared at the North American and overseas box offices, and whether you are a die-hard fan of spider universe, a supporter of "Mr. Tang" Tom Hardy, or a long-time die-hard fan of Marvel, I believe you can find your favorite point in the film.
Old rules, after watching the movie, we still have to take stock of an Easter egg that appears in the "Venom" film, and the friends who have seen it can come to check the leaks and fill in the gaps to find resonance, and those who have not yet seen it can be collected first, and then reviewed after watching. (The following is all spoilers, please read it after consideration.) ）
J. Jonah Jameson's astronaut son
At the beginning of the film, the Life Foundation spacecraft crashes in East Malaysia, and the only surviving astronaut is named John Jameson. Fans familiar with older films and comics are certainly familiar with the surname "Jameson": J. JJJ, editor-in-chief of the Clarion Daily and dedicated to the everyday "black" spider. The astronaut here is his son.
Life Foundation
The "Scientific Organization" Life Foundation, which has a strong sense of existence in the film, also has a long history in the manga. In the comics, the Life Foundation separates five of Venom's descendants from Venom, namely Agony, Scream, Phage, Lasher, and Riot. This setting is roughly restored in the film, and the Life Foundation is studying this alien symbiote and conducting human experiments.
The eternal Golden Gate Bridge
This time the laboratory of the Life Foundation is built on an island next to the Golden Gate Bridge, I don't know if you see the Golden Gate Bridge has an inexplicable sense of familiarity? In the third part of "X-Men", the mutant laboratory attacked by Lao Wan with mutants such as qin and red tanks is also on an island next to the Golden Gate Bridge, and Lao Wan bravely lifted the Golden Gate Bridge at that time, connecting the island and the land. (From The forced drama of Man Jie to Lao Wan)
Eddie's past in New York
In Eddie's conversation with his girlfriend Annie, we can know that Eddie left New York because of the "Global Daily Incident". Eddie was once a reporter for the Global Daily, and the incident here is supposed to refer to the fact that he was fired by The Global Journal after being accused of covering fake news by Spider-Man.
Michelinie & McFarlane Law Firm
In the film, Eddie's girlfriend, Anne, works at a law firm named Michelinie & McFarlane. It's actually a tribute, Michelinie and McFarlane are the founders of the comic strip Venom characters.
Cure cancer
In the comics, Eddie was originally suffering from cancer, and then the venom attached to him, which cured his cancer. The characters in the film remove the setting of cancer, but Dr. Drake of the Life Foundation mentions the idea of using venom to cure cancer.
Yellow symbiote
In the Life Foundation laboratory, the symbiont that was initially experimented on rabbits was yellow. There is also a symbiote in the comics that is this color, which is Phage.
Blue-green symbiote
There is also a blue-green symbiosis in the film, which is the same symbiosis that ultimately kills Dr. Dora Skes. This symbiote may be Lasher, which also takes on a bluish-green color in the comics.
"Eyes, Lungs and Pancreas"
There is a line in the movie Poison that "eyes, lungs, pancreas, so many snacks, but so little time." This Hannibal-style line actually comes from the comics, from The Amazing Spider-Man #374.
Venom dog
After being forced out of Eddie's body by the frequency of MRI, the venom was forced to parasitize a pet dog. In the comics, Venom has also been parasitic on dogs, namely sled dogs and German Shepherds, which look murderous. The pet Venom dog in the movie is much cuter and docile in comparison.
Female venom
In the film, Eddie Bullock's girlfriend Anne is briefly possessed by venom and saves Eddie's life in the woods. In the comics, Anne is also possessed by Venom and becomes She-Venom, when Annie is dying from a gunshot wound, and Venom possesses her and saves her life.
Familiar picture
There is a scene in the film where Venom takes Eddie up a tall building and stays at the very top for a while to enjoy the night view of San Francisco. This section is very similar to the scene in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in which the little spider climbs the Washington Monument with his bare hands and stays at the top. I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the director created a little Venom's connection with Spider-Man in this way. (Because there is no video to take screenshots, I hope you like the soul portrait drawn by Sister Man on the left)
Riots and fights with venom
In the second half of the film, Venom engages in a fight with Dr. Carlton Drake ("Riot"), who is possessed by the symbiote. One scene in the battle is when riots tear Venom straight away from Eddie's head. This scene is a tribute to the cover of the third issue of the comic strip Venom: Carnage Unleashed, except that the film replaces the cover with a riot.
The looming "Spider-Man" connection
The character of Venom is inextricably linked to Spider-Man, but due to a variety of complicated reasons, The Little Spider does not appear in the movie, and even the iconic spider logo on Venom's chest does not appear. However, at the end of the film, when Eddie is pierced by the riot and the venom quickly possesses him to bring him back to life, the little light left by the chest when it is gradually covered seems to have a little shadow of the spider symbol.
Stan Lee cameo
The old man appeared relatively late this time, near the end of the film. The old man walking his dog on the street told Eddie "never give up on her, you both". The old man saw through the fact that the venom was still in Eddie's body, and he was worthy of being an observer. (Also Venom, you want to eat the old man's dog, the guts are not too fat.) ）
Venom's chocolate complex
At the end of the film, Eddie and Venom make three chapters of the law, and will never allow eating the heads of good people, so Venom offers to eat chocolate in a small shop. Venom wants to eat human brain because of its own need for phenylethylamine, and chocolate also contains phenylethylamine. So for Venom, chocolate is a good substitute for the human brain.
slaughter
In the first end credits of the film, Eddie drives to St. Quentin Prison to interview a serial killer. The character is played by Woody Harrison, who ends up telling Eddie that "the carnage is coming". This suggests that the murderer was Kleist Caserti, or "Massacre" in the comics. Still want to complain, Woody Harrison wearing a wig is suddenly uncomfortable.
Spider-Man: Parallel Universe
The second Easter egg at the end of the film is cut off in the mainland. In the North American release version of the Easter egg, the second generation of Spider-Man Miles Moreras is being hunted down by the Prowlers. After he escaped the pursuit, he came to Peter Parker's tombstone and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Parker, I really want to accomplish what you've asked you to do." But sorry, I really couldn't do it without you. "This is a preview of the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Parallel Universes, which will be released in North America on December 14.
After watching the movie, some readers privately asked Rambler whether Venom would join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and whether there would be a sequel movie.
At present, the Sony Cinematic Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Venom is located are still two separate universes, and the plot is not related. But if the two sides can negotiate more cooperation in the future (similar to the current Spider-Man), the possibility of venom entering the MCU is not ruled out.
As for the sequel movie of "Venom", it should be a matter of ten to nine. First, Mr. Tang revealed that he signed a contract with three Venom films; second, "Venom", which costs $100 million to produce, has now received nearly $550 million at the global box office, and the final global box office is likely to exceed 600 million, so how can this achievement also produce a sequel movie.
After watching this movie, everyone is welcome to share their own after-effects
