Mark Wahlberg is a CIA agent who has to get a very important asset 22 miles to an extraction point. Sounds simple, right? Well, in these kind of movies, it never is. You see, Wahlberg also has to deal with terrorists who want to prevent them from reaching the extraction point. In the form of dying. So let's take a look at the trailer for the upcoming film Mile 22! Warning, there's some NSFW language in this trailer.
That puzzle must really suck to do. There's no picture.
"We live in a world of wars". Sounds like somebody's been playing too much Call of Duty.
Hi, Ronda Rousey! Somebody's gonna lose an arm in this movie.
Wait, Overwatch? I'm so disappointed that this won't be like the game. I wanted to play the game, but it has no single-player campaigns. WHY?!
Southeast Asia. There are countries there. Which one? Thailand? Laos? Vietnam? Singapore?
9 pounds. That's a LOT of radioactive isotope.
Dude, needles make me nervous too, but I don't go beating the tar out of everyone in the hospital!
Why does that dude want to go to the US? Well, I'm thinking Disneyland. Who doesn't want to go to Disneyland?
So, Mile 22 is the name of the extraction point? Okay.
Yeah, this film's plot is just going to be an excuse to have lots of explosions, shooting, fighting, and Mark Wahlberg making one-liners.
I'm personally not expecting this film to revolutionize action movies. But I am hoping it at least is a fun ride. I'll be happy if it's that at the very least.
Heh heh, it seems that over the last week, various fighting games have had put out trailers for me to comment on. First, it was Tekken. Next it was Street Fighter. And now, another iconic fighting series has put out something special, and this one is my favorite series: Super Smash Bros. The latest game in the series, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is on the way. We've already got a Nintendo Direct announcing the game, but now they put out a new Direct with some special surprises. Let's take a look! Warning: This is about a half-hour long. So keep that in mind before you play it.
It was a dark and stormy night...
Cool boots, bro.
Yeah, I don't think you're in the mansion anymore, Luigi.
OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED LUIGI! YOU B******S!
Flail to the face!
OH YEAH! SIMON BELMONT HAS FINALLY COME TO SMASH! Castlevania was one of the only major NES franchises that never got to get any representation in the Smash series, so it's so AWESOME to see Simon here! And it does make sense. Simon Belmont was the protagonist of the first NES Castlevania game. I think his appearance here is supposed to be a nod to Super Castlevania IV, the first game in the Castlevania series for the Super Nintendo.
You all have no idea how awesome this is. I have played a couple Castlevanias. I do enjoy them, despite their being ridiculously hard.
And we got Richter, too! Richter Belmont is Simon's descendant, and he's from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, which was originally released in Japan for the TurboGrafx-16 (called the PC Engine in Japan) in 1993. It was remade for the Super Nintendo for the West in 1995 as Castlevania: Dracula X. The original TurboGrafx-16 version is often considered the superior version. I'm guessing that Richter will be Simon's Echo Fighter.
Poor Luigi. Be glad you're a male there, pal. If you were a woman, Carmilla will never leave you alone.
Hi, Mr. Sakurai! Hope you're doing okay.
I can imagine that they'll make up for Simon not being fast by making sure he and his whip can hit hard. And he looks like a tank. He can take a hit. I hope. And his Final Smash is cool.
And with a new fighter comes a new stage. Dracula's Castle. I imagine the vampire of the house must get annoyed about the Smashers brawling in his home. "Hey! All of you! Get out of my house! And don't set that on fire! That's an antique!" And hitting candlesticks to get items is a nice touch. Just like in the source games. I also love the monsters plaguing the stage idea. They want you out of Dracula's home before you break all his candlesticks.
Why is Carmilla crying like that? Did they catch her peeping on the female fighters again?
And 34 tracks! This stage will have 34 music tracks! The team must've really wanted to go big for finally getting to use Castlevania in Smash. Thank you Konami!
Dracula is fed up of all these people coming into his house and beating each other up in it. They also end up wrecking the place, and the castle is already a money-sucking pit. Drac doesn't need the extra stress on his bank account.
And speaking of Dracula, his son Alucard from Symphony of the Night will be an assist trophy! Awesome! I was hoping that Trevor's companions from Dracula's Curse will be assist trophies as well, but I can work with this.
Two new Echo Fighters, huh? Alright!
The first is Chrom, from Fire Emblem Awakening. Based on his usage of Aether, I'm assuming he's an Echo of Ike.
The second is Dark Samus, who first appeared as the titular villain of Metroid Prime. I love her look in this game. Sleek, simple, and intimidating. She's not here to save the day. She's here to bring the pain.
Switching between having the Echo Fighters displayed separately and having them "stacked" with their counterparts? That seems a bit...needless to me. I'd just have them displayed separately.
Hey, lots of old stages returning, huh? I would love to see the Mushroom Kingdom stage from Melee come back. I never was fond of the Brawl version that made it into a desert. And man, those old stages look great.
With Super Mario Odyssey, it makes sense there'd be a stage based on that game. And Paulina performs live for you! Hope she doesn't accidentally get knocked around.
103 STAGES! SAKURAI, YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE CRAZY! I can imagine being able to turn stage hazards off would be handy for tournaments. And the morphing stage bit would make for some fun unpredictability.
800 MUSIC TRACKS?! SAKURAI, YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE INSANE! Listen to them on the go, make your own playlists. Ha ha, that is cool!
Hey, I like being able to create my own custom rulesets. If I get to play with friends, I can set it up much faster. Very convenient.
Sudden Death is going to cause some heart attacks.
Gotta be quick on the draw with the Final Smash meter!
5-on-5 battles make me think of Survivor Series.
Heh heh, Smashdown. Gotta get gud with multiple fighters to win here!
Banana Gun! Two items in one! Shoot an opponent, then leave a trap. The Killing Edge is one weapon you should pray YOU get, and not your opponent. Bombers seem like less frightening Bob-Ombs. Does Death know these fighters have uh, borrowed his scythe? Oh, I can imagine the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom causing much frustration. The Rage Blaster is a funny-looking weapon. I like the idea of it doing more damage in the hands of a fighter that has more heavy damage. Desperation, and all that.
Oh, God. We're going to get fanart of Bayonetta pole-dancing on the Alolan Exeggutor, aren't we? Heh heh, the big palm tree is just so happy to be here. I always hated Abra in the original Pokémon games, but he'll be my best friend here. It makes sense for Solgaleo and Lunala to be here, as Sun and Moon/UltraSun and Ultra/Moon are the latest main series Pokémon games. And they're bringing the pain. And do NOT mess with Mimikyu. Hi, Pyukumuku! And Vulpx bringing the heat, while its Alolan counterpart brings the cold. Marshadow hits hard. I can respect that. And Ditto would be great to fake out your opponents for a second I wonder if any of the previous helper Pokémon will return.
Assist Trophy time! How ya doin', Zero? Must be nice having the break from fighting Mavericks. And Knuckles will knock you out, without chuckling. And Krystal is here, too! Fox and the gang will be happy to see her here! And I'm going to hate the Klaptrap. Getting chomped on like that must hurt. Kapp'n is going to give you a ride...to PAINVILLE. And Chef Kawasaki is going to cook up some destruction. I expected Raiden, but Grey Fox is cool, too. Nikki is the most hilarious assist so far. And yay, Shovel Knight! I love that game! Shovel Knight in this game makes me happy. Oh, look. Here comes the Moon from Majora's Mask OHMYGODIT'SCOMINGDOWNRIGHTONTOPOFOURHEADS! And Ashley from the WarioWare series is here, too. Her theme song is catchy. I'm hoping we see some old Assist Trophies return, too.
A special guest, huh? Who could it be?
Rathalos from Monster Hunter?! Okay, at this point, I think game companies are just calling Nintendo and basically saying, "Hey Nintendo! Can you put this character from our game in Smash, please?" That's what I think. And why is Rathalos both a boss and assist trophy? LOOK AT HIM. You want to tell THAT he can't be a boss and Assist Trophy?
Sakurai has one last surprise for us.
Oh Dedede, you troll. And those facial expressions will be memes, if they are not already.
KING K.ROOL IS HERE, BABY. DONKEY KONG COUNTRY REPRESENT!
Heh heh, old pirate outfit. I'm betting his big belly will be used a lot in his fighting.
I'm think he's going to eat Pikachu, Ness, and the Inkling girl later.
Was that his Final Smash?
Oh man, this Direct was incredible! New characters, new features, they are really going all out with this one! Sakurai and his team are passionate as anything, and it really shows. I said once that Super Smash Brothers has evolved from a simple Nintendo fighting game to a tribute to video games in general. You really get that vibe for this game. I want this game! I want this game so bad! I am so excited for it!
Yesterday, I did a Tekken trailer, and today, I'm doing a Street Fighter trailer. Funny how life works out, huh? Anyway, a new character is coming to Street Fighter V...well, an old character, but with a new look. The King of Muay Thai himself, Sagat, is coming to SFV! Let's look at his trailer!
Sagat likes tigers. Did you know that there is a species of tiger native to Sagat's home country of Thailand? Yup, the Indochinese Tiger. You know, it's a shame he never appeared in a Marvel vs. Capcom game. I think he'd like Tigra.
Aww, look at the ferocious jungle cat. He's so cute.
Sagat is not one for quipping. And where did he get that poncho?
I see Sagat is still totally not mad about Ryu scarring his chest. In Street Fighter lore, Sagat's big chest scar was caused by Ryu.
I have to admit, I love the music in the background.
Hey, he's got his classic Street Fighter II look, too! Awesome!
Tiger Charge! Tiger Charge! You all know Sagat likes to call all his attacks "Tiger _".He likes tigers.
Sagat is the King of Muay Thai. You come at the King, you best not miss. His having one eye will not help you.
Hey, he comes with a new stage, too. That's nice. King's Court is beautiful. I love the giant Buddha statue. He's just chilling while people are beating and blasting the tar out of each other in front of him.
I like the new costumes. And I'll have to look at the trailer for G at some point. He's a new character, so I am curious about him.
It's great to see Sagat make his comeback. I am curious as to what he was up to during the events of this game, and hopefully, his appearance will explain that.
In 1994, Bandai-Namco released Tekken (Japanese for "Iron Fist") in arcades, and would bring it to the original PlayStation a year later. The game would be highly praised for its characters, controls, and presentation. The game would even get into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the first game released on the PlayStation to sell over one million units.
The latest game in the main series, Tekken 7, has crossed the crossover-mania in video games lately. First, the character of Noctis from Final Fantasy XV has been announced to be a playable fighter, and now...we're going to get some more playable characters...including another big surprise. Let's take a look!
Ah, the Mishima family. Settling issues the only way they know how: By trying to murder each other.
Hey, footage from EVO. EVO is short for Evolution Championship Series, an annual event in which professional gamers take each other on in fighting game tournaments for glory and presumably prize money.
I have to confess, I'venever played a Tekken game. I'm more of a Super Smash Bros. guy myself. Hey, Tekken X Super Smash Bros.. That would be one heck of a fun crossover. Nintendo, Bandai Namco, get on this! Please?
Hey, Anna Williams is in! She and her sister Nina, the blonde in the wedding dress, are...not on the best of terms usually. Between the Williams sisters and the whole dysfunctional Mishima clan, one can't help but wonder if the creators of this game have a thing against families.
Anna got herself some new tattoos. I can imagine she spent many an hour in the tattoo artists' chair. Considering Anna is described as narcissistic and arrogant, I can bet that artist deserved a medal for enduring her.
Yeah, the Williams sisters' meeting up often does involve heavy weaponry. Just be grateful she didn't break out the nukes.
When it come to creating characters for fighting games, creators will draw from real life. For example, Fei Long from the Street Fighter series is basically Bruce Lee. Lei Wulong is another such character. He's an homage to Jackie Chan. You can see that in the ending of his part in the trailer. The whole thing with him shaking his hands like he hurt them after hitting the screen. That's classic Jackie Chan.
I have to admit, I was surprised to see this guy in a Tekken game. Yes, Negan. Arguably one of the most famous characters from the Walking Dead franchise, Negan became famous because of his brutality, twisted sense of humor, and love of profanity. He was portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the TV series. He is also known for his trademark weapon, a bat with barbed wire wrapped around it he named "Lucille". I wonder if Morgan will voice him for the game.
Honestly though, I'd think the Mortal Kombat series would be a better fit for him. I'm not the first to notice this, and it makes sense. That series is known for its brutality and gore, and it would allow a character like Negan to go all out and knock some heads off, quite literally. I am curious about how he got here.
I have to admit, I was surprised by Negan in this game. Anna and Lei Wulong make sense, as they are long-running characters. I also have to admit, I love the current trend of crossovers in video games. I think it's really cool seeing characters from one series meeting other series' characters. The possibilities of it are endless. I can't wait to see what crazy crossovers come next!
Back in May, I gave my thoughts on the trailer for the animated adaptation of The Death of Superman, the 1990s storyline in which Superman...well, died saving the world from the monstrous Doomsday. And considering Superman's death was adapted, it makes sense they would adapt aspects of his return to animation. So, let's take a look at the trailer for Reign of the Supermen!
Well, this is a unique way to start a trailer.
Was Death of Superman really the best-selling graphic novel of all time? And who is that guy doing the intro?
Heh heh, just like the comics. Four mysterious replacements for the Man of Steel in the wake of his death. It does make sense that with the Man of Tomorrow down for the count (He'll be back), someone would try to step up. Superboy is funny. Spoiler Alert: The one in the lower right? He's Steel.
Lois Lane cleans up nicely.
Who is this guy?
And who is this gray-haired guy?
So, the glasses guy is named Tim Sheridan, who I presume wrote this adaptation. Okay. Hope he did a good job.
I get the feeling this and the previous animated movie handled Supes's death a lot better than Batman v Superman did.
Jimmy Olsen looks like Tintin.
It is an interesting question. With the moral center gone, who steps up? Who will lead the heroes now? Who will be the guiding voice?
Ah, it's a two parter, like they did with Dark Knight Returns. Sweet. Gives more room for better fitting everything in.
Ah, so the guy with the cap is Sam Liu, the director. I wonder how one directs an animated movie. I am genuinely curious.
Return of Superman did introduce a new Superboy to DC canon in the comics, as Crisis on Infinite Earths wiped Clark Kent's adventures as Superboy out of canon...only for Infinite Crisis to restore that part of Superman's history to canon. And yes, the future Conner Kent/Kon-El was a bit bratty when he started out.
Mike Carlin? That name is familiar. The same guy who edited for DC back in the day?
In the comic story, it was suggested Steel was the one who had Superman's soul, as he was arguably the one "replacement" that acted the most like Superman.
The Eradicator to me represented Superman's being an alien, if that makes sense. He lacked Superman's inherent humanity.
The Cyborg Superman is supposed to represent Superman's power, huh? Okay. And Jerry O'Connell is voicing him? Sweet. I hope he captures the Cyborg Superman's hatred of the real Superman. Seriously. The Cyborg despised the Man of Steel. Claimed Superman ruined his life.
Hey, the Eradicator's Superman logo? Is that a nod to the classic Earth-2 Superman's chest symbol?
Because if that is, that's clever. Kudos to the designers.
Ah, Bibbo. Always nice to see him, especially when he's fanboying over his "fav'rit" superhero.
I have to admit, this trailer is awesome. I love the presentation. The quotes from the people involved in the making, and little teases of the four "Supermen", they really stand out. I have yet to see Death of Superman, but when I see that, I'll give this a shot. I just wonder where the rest of the Justice League is and how they're dealing with this?
Spider-Man. The Wall-Crawler is one of my personal favorite superheroes. I first got into the character thanks to the 1990s animated series. The series to me sold Spider-Man as one of the coolest characters ever. He had awesome villains, his quips were funny, his adventures had plenty of drama, and I still hear C.D. Barnes's voice in my head when I read Spidey's books.
With the passing of his co-creator Steve Ditko at the age of 90, I thought it would be a nice way to honor him by taking a look at the comic that introduced Spider-Man to this world, undoubtedly one of the most famous of his creations/co-creations. Spider-Man was introduced not in his own book, but in another comic: Amazing Fantasy. The series was originally titled Amazing Adult Fantasy, a science-fiction anthology title that was billed as "the magazine that respected your intelligence".
With issue number 15, the title was slated for cancellation. So, considering that the book was on its way out, publisher Martin Goodman reluctantly agreed to let Stan Lee and Steve Ditko publish a story about a new kind of teenage superhero. At the time, teenage heroes like Bucky and Robin were sidekicks. This one would have no mentor, forced to learn the superhero thing through trail by fire. This one would also deal with issues regular folks dealt with like struggling to make ends meet and dealing with feelings of inadequacy. This new character was found to be quite relatable by young readers, and Amazing Fantasy #15 would turn out to be Marvel's highest-selling comic at the time. He would be such a hit that he would actually get his own comic, one that is still going strong today, over 700 issues and over 55 years later. And with that out of the way, let's look at Amazing Fantasy #15!
The cover has become rather iconic in its own right, homage and parodied. Spider-Man grabbing someone as he swings by. I'm guessing that guy did something he should not have been doing. The dialogue on the cover make me chuckle. Spidey, that guy is right near you. He can hear you. You just told him your secret identity.
"Spider-Man!" Writer: Stan Lee Penciller: Steve Ditko Inker: Steve Ditko Letterer: Artie Simek Editor: Stan Lee
The story begins with a young teenage boy named Peter Parker being woken up by his Uncle Ben. He gets dressed and goes downstairs, where his Aunt May is making him his favorite breakfast: Wheatcakes. Basically, Petey likes his pancakes.
Peter Parker is a good kid, very smart, with a talent for science. However, he does have his troubles. One of them is when he asks a pretty girl named Sally Avril out for a date. However, Sally isn't interested in the nerdy Parker, especially with the handsome football player Flash Thompson around.
Heh heh, some time in Southeast Asia will fix Flash's attitude. He also get to use the Venom symbiote in the future...and now I'm sad. Anyway, Peter wants to see an exhibit at Midtown High's science hall, but nobody wants to go with him. The dejected and slightly embittered Peter goes to the exhibit, which is demonstrating radioactivity. Yeah, that totally won't cause some problems. I mean, it's not like if something goes wrong, the school would end up contaminated by radiation or anything. During the exhibition, a spider ends up getting irradiated. Of course, little spiders aren't meant to be irradiated, and the dying spider crawls away. It manages to make its way to young Parker's hand and bite it.
Peter then feels slightly ill. But instead of telling the scientists he got bitten by a radioactive spider (because you know, that could totally be a bad thing), he simply leaves to get some air. The dazed Peter wanders out onto the street, feeling that something weird is happening to him. He nearly gets run over by a car, but he leaps away from it...and sticks to a wall. He discovers he can crawl up the wall as easily as he can walk down a street.
He manages to make it up to the top of the building quickly, and grabs a steel pipe to help pull himself up...only to crush it like it was made of tissue paper. The young nerdy kid discovers that he's gained powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. But this leads to another question. Now that he's got these cool powers, what should he do with them? Put on a fancy suit and fight crime like those Fantastic Four guys? Nah. Peter's a teenager, and he sees a bit more of a...selfish use for his new power.
I can imagine that today, there are quite a few laws about that. To hide his identity, Peter creates a costume, complete with mask. He challenges the wrestler, one "Crusher" Hogan, to fight him. The young man is easily able to defeat the wrestler, and the crowd is loving it. A man in the crowd notes the future Spider-Man and thinks he's exactly what he's looking for. He's a TV producer, and he wants to put this kid on TV. Peter is intrigued by this.
He secretly develops the costume he would use as Spider-Man, and builds a pair of wrist-mounted webshooters. He comes up with the name Spider-Man, as it's as "good as any". Now he's got himself a gimmick. Spider-Man then appears on TV, using his agility and newfound webshooters to perform various tricks. The crowd is amazed, and Peter is given lots of offers for future media appearances and interviews and the like. Peter then spots a thief being chased by a policeman. However, Peter is not interested in playing the Good Samaritan, and lets the thief run by.
The cop is furious at Spider-Man. He could have done something to slow the man down, even something as small as trip him up. But Peter's like, "Fighting crime is YOUR job, officer! I'm outta here!" A few hours later, in a scene I think is a bit superfluous, Aunt May and Uncle Ben got Peter a gift: A microscope. Peter is overjoyed, and vows to always make sure they're happy, but as far as he's concerned, the rest of the world can go hang.
Some days pass, and Spider-Man has become a bit of a celebrity, becoming a TV sensation. This mysterious masked man who can perform the amazing feats of strength, agility, and can spin webs and crawl on walls like a real spider. What a hit! But as always with the Webhead, the good times will come to an end.
Peter is returning home from a personal appearance, when he sees a police car in front of his home. He wonders what is going on, and the cop has some sad news: His Uncle Ben had been shot. And he is now dead. Peter is horrified, and enraged. The cop tells him Ben had surprised a burglar, but they have the malefactor cornered in an old warehouse. Peter puts on his Spider-Man costume and heads to the warehouse.
The cops are in a standoff with the burglar. However, Spider-Man is able to sneak into the warehouse and surprise the criminal.
Between his powers and his webbing, the Wall-Crawler is able to easily get the drop on and take down the criminal. When he gets a look at the criminal's face, the burgeoning superhero is horrified.
It's the same criminal he let escape days earlier. The Web-Swinger then ties up the burglar with his webs, and leaves him for the cops. Peter is left emotionally distraught. If he had not been so selfish earlier, then maybe his Uncle Ben would still be alive. The costumed teenager on this night has learned a hard lesson, one that would become his maxim: "With great power, must also come great responsibility." The story ends with him walking into the night, his thoughts on the events that just transpired, and a new legend being born, one that would continue to swing by over 55 years later.
Amusingly, the comic has an ad saying readers should pick up the next exciting issue of Amazing Fantasy to read another Spider adventure. His next appearance would be his own book.
This was really good. Lee's writing is bombastic, and it's pretty clear "The Man" loves words. Spider-Man's origin has been expanded upon over the years, but the basic story has always remained intact: teenager gets powers and learns a hard lesson about responsibility. Lee wanted this new hero to resonate with the intended audience, and considering Spider-Man has become arguably Marvel's flagship character, I say he succeeded. The story does do some jumping a bit, but that's kind of part and parcel of comics of this era. Lee wrote this as one of three stories, so he didn't have the full comic's length to work with.
The origin has become iconic, having been retold and expanded upon numerous times over the decades, and even retold and adapted into various media. At it's heart, Peter's story is the story of a kid who gets great power, and learns that with it comes the responsibility to use it wisely. Peter's struggles to fit in resonated with readers, and today, that identifiability has helped propel Spider-Man into a cultural icon.
Ditko's take on Peter Parker really helped sell the idea that Peter was this shy, nerdy kid. John Romita Sr.'s interpretation of the character may be more famous, but it was Ditko that really helped codify the character as an identifiable everyman. Ditko would pencil the first 38 issues of Spider-Man's own book, helping to create many of the characters and rogues that are still part of Spidey's life today.
Goodbye, Mr. Ditko. Spider-Man was only one of the amazing characters you had a hand in, but he's one of the reasons I love superheroes. Next time, we look at the Fantastic Four witnessing a fiery rebirth....
Back in April, I gave my thoughts on the first Venom trailer. I remember thinking it was interesting, but I still had some reservations. Anyway, the second trailer is out, so for my first blog entry of the month of August, let's take a look!
Welcome to San Francisco! Come see the Golden Gate Bridge! And please try not to annoy the big overmuscled "sym-BUY-oat" guy. He will eat you, and the City of San Francisco has no legal liability in the event of being consumed by angry "sym-BUY-oat."
Hi, Eddie.
That symbiote is yellow. I think that may be Scream. But she's yellow-and-red, not yellow-and-black.
Okay, that eye thing is...creepy.
Well, that guy is...optimistic, isn't he?
Aw come on, that symbiote has got to find a better way to take over people than that! That's just wrong!
When Eddie Brock became Venom in the comics, he was an angry, ANGRY dude. SO it's kind of weird to see him as much more of a milquetoast.
Was that bit with the reflection a nod to the 90s Spider-Man cartoon? In that cartoon, when Spider-Man was wearing the symbiote suit, he saw Venom in a mirror, foreshadowing him.
Look like Eddie is going to have to learn to live with his new buddy.
I have to admit, I do have a bit of trouble understanding what Venom is saying sometimes. Dude, close your lips. You don't need to keep your teeth out all the time.
Venom threatening to eat people. Yeah, in the comics, Venom has been known to eat brains. Brains contain a certain chemical (likely phenethylamine) to survive. It's also found in chocolate. Would be funny to see Eddie buying lots of candy bars to keep Venom on the level.
Symbiote vs. Symbiote action?! I am for that!
Oh God, Venom's threat there is hilarious! He sounds like a teenager trying to sound like a badass! And he just ate that dude. Yeah, that dude was totally consumed.
I have to admit, I am a bit more positive about this movie after seeing this. I still am not fond of his story being separated from Spider-Man. As I said before, Venom starting out was a twisted dark mirror of the Wall-Crawler. One of the few regular villains Spidey faced that he was actually afraid of. I would love to see that Venom face Tom Holland's Spider-Man. Would be a great test for the young wall-crawler. Ah, well.
Seeing this trailer does think this film may be fun, so I'll give it a shot.
