You would think the producers would have hired better writers instead of pathetically paying for almost every review on here 9 and above being fake pretty much only film reviewed. I may have given this film a 7 or 8 out of 10, but only gets a 6 for the fake reviews. For me it could have been much better and deserving of the 9's and 10's had the writing been tighter.
FAQ 4. What does Mrs. Chen say to Eddie in Mandarin while she's scolding him for not meditating? Where is Eddie Brock's apartment building located? Is this based on the Venom: Lethal Protector comic?

I can only assume the central purpose of Venom: Dark Origin is to remind us why and make readers wish he was gone again.
If that is the goal, it accomplishes it with gusto. If this series is actually supposed to paint Brock as a compelling figure, or win over a new legion of Venom fans, however, it continues to fail for a third month running. Last month, we saw Eddie Brock fall from grace. His cushy reporter job melted away when it was revealed his acclaim-winning story was a fraud. Now, on his last thread and trapped in a scene of blatant religious symbolism, Eddie finally meets his salvation in the form of the Venom symbiote.
Thus proceeds a truly grotesque transformation scene. Were this not a reasonably family friendly book, I'd think poor Eddie was trapped in some sort of gross hentai tentacle comic. Therein lies my biggest problem with this book.
All story flaws aside, and I'll get to those in a minute, Angel Medina seems unsatisfied unless he's twisted and contorted his characters into the most bizarre and unrealistic poses possible. Editor-in-chief Jim Shooter pitched a massive crossover event with a sprawling storyline that would suddenly whisk away the company's major villains and heroes to an unknown planet, where they would be made to do battle by an all-powerful being named the Beyonder.
The toy company influenced some of the event's important aspects , including its title Secret Wars. Mattel also requested various costume changes. Since Secret Wars was filled with otherworldly items that Mattel could make into playsets and vehicles for the action figures, a goo-suit didn't seem like the biggest leap.
The story for the Secret Wars limited comic series was written by Shooter himself, which meant that writers working on individual titles of the characters involved had to adapt to the crossover.
People are a little shocked at his new costume, which writer Tom DeFalco fleshed out into the symbiote we know today. After returning from Battleworld, Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four discovers the black costume is actually an alien being trying to permanently bond with Spider-Man, so he blasts it off Peter with a sonic gun and the Human Torch contains the costume in a circle of fire until they can put the symbiote in a containment unit this is all in Amazing Spider-Man The symbiote gets mad at Spider-Man for abandoning it before it could merge with him completely, so when it escapes the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building ASM , it returns to Peter Parker to try again.
Understandably Peter freaks out, and that's when he remembers sonic attacks hurt the symbiote, heading to a church bell-tower as the clock strikes. Spider-Man is in a fight with some flying goons at the time, and the separation process weakens him, so the symbiote risks its life to drag an unconscious and costume-less Peter to safety before slinking off to die it seemed at the time, in Web of Spider-Man 1 , April A mysterious villain that didn't set off Spider-Man's spider senses had been teased in the pages of The Web of Spider-Man for awhile, but it wasn't specifically planned as the spotlight baddie of Spider-Man's tri-centennial issue.
Michelinie brought back the symbiote, but now the alien costume had a new host: Eddie Brock. This gets Brock fired from his legitimate journalism job, and the guy is so pissed he starts habitually working out to de-stress. It doesn't work, and Brock is forced to take any writing job he can get, even at crappy celebrity tabloids.
The once-great but not good enough to know he was being jerked around by a fake Sin-Eater journalist contemplates suicide. Brock is a Catholic and knows suicide is a mortal sin, so he goes to pray for forgiveness when a black goo drops on him from above. Another bad Venom story Firstly, I didn't like the art style, except for the illustrations of Venom and Spider-Man. This book made Eddie Brock out to be a scumbag from the earliest moments in his life, but why establish his character like that?
I know the point was to sh Another bad Venom story I know the point was to show that he was always the cause of his own failures in life, and that Spider-Man wasn't actually to blame for his shortcomings, but come on!
Make his story a real tragedy with real problems and heartbreaking moments. I didn't feel anything for Brock while reading this.
In fact, I rooted against him in his own graphic novel, which is a really bad sign. Before reading this origin story, I viewed Eddie Brock as a normal guy with good intentions who ultimately got screwed over by bad luck in the end. I never pegged him as intentionally being underhanded, but instead as someone who became a villain as the result of a tragic life that reluctantly lead him down that wretched path. What we got was conformation from Marvel that Venom was bad right from the start, and all his bad luck in life was apparently deserved because he was always a little prick.
This came real close to ruining Venom for me. If I did not possess the strength of will to pretend that this crap is not actually canon to Eddie Brock's story, then I might have actually abandoned this character after reading this.
They barely tapped into his childhood life except to show him being a little asshole and act "sad" while he blames himself for his mom's death. I put sad in quotations because he looks about as sad as a kid who just got an Xbox One for Christmas instead of a Playstation It just doesn't do a very good job at telling a sympathetic Venom story.
At best, it's barely tolerable, and at worst it is complete garbage. All Zeb Wells managed to do was further tarnish Eddie Brock's backstory with a slew of convoluted messes that make readers hate Venom rather than root for him as either an anti-hero or a misunderstood villain. Dark Origin leaves a bad taste in my mouth that is hard to wash out, even when looking back at some of the really good Venom stories like Birth of Venom and Maximum Carnage.
I still love Venom as a character, but, God dammit, he needs to be treated with some respect and dignity! I cannot, in good faith to fellow Venom fans, recommend this to anyone.
You are better off getting your Venom origin story from Death of Jean DeWolff and Birth of Venom; they may not encapsulate his entire background since childhood, but you will at least get a better story — and better Venom — out of those comics. Jun 03, Nicole rated it liked it. View 1 comment. The art is a major negative for me, I don't like the distorted faces at all and a lot of the action is hard to decipher.
The whole point of the story is to establish Eddie Brock was a bad dude since he was a kid.. Other than that it was pretty boring for me. Nov 23, Dimitris Papastergiou rated it it was ok. To pass the time. Not much. Aug 04, void rated it it was ok. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.
To view it, click here. So, I finally got around to reading this. To start, I was really excited when I got the book. I haven't read the original series that explains it, but I've read enough Venom comics to know when a story gets it wrong. And Wells altered most of the story here. The miniseries hurts for it. A lot. For starters, we can blame artist Angel Medina for not looking up what Eddie's dad looks like.
Or his horrific drawings of Brock So, I finally got around to reading this. Or his horrific drawings of Brock's face, which made me want to chuck the issues in the trash. Secondly, Eddie Brock, the guy we're supposed to feel sorry for is completely unrelatable and unlikeable. I could not bring myself to feel sorry for him, or even understand him. Eddie's motives are lame to start with - but in this origin miniseries, he's really, seriously unrelatable.
And Wells is writing an origin story and trying to make us feel sorry and bad and sad for him, but it's not working, and that's not a good sign.
I know many fans were disappointed when Spider-Man 3 came out - I remember how outraged everyone was when Grace was cast, but obviously someone knew what they were doing when they let him on as Venom. The only thing that actually bugged me is that he didn't get much screen time, but I can forgive that considering the film had three villains and Venom wasn't even meant to BE in the film - he was only let in because Arad convinced Raimi to let him because of his fanbase. Although Grace doesn't have much screen time, the movie is very generous about his transformation into Venom, framing it as coming from a place of hurt rather than evil.
I think Venom was portrayed pretty well in the film, and that the problem was the little screen time he got - which the actor gets wayyyy too much flack for. For characters like Bullseye or the Punisher, it's often nothing more than being a cool badass and being more likeable than their targets.
Hell, even Deadpool is given moments where he at least tries to redeem himself. Wells' Eddie Brock is given none of this. He lies about everything I'll get to that later - literally everything, from lying about finding a cat to scamming his way into a journalist at the Daily Globe.
He scams his way into everything for HIS personal glory and then sulks over his "I have no daddy" issues. We get it.
He never got his father's attention and his ma died in childbirth. This is a question I kept repeating after every issue, whichbrings so many questions to mind. The only superhero he intentionally ran after I say intentionally because he went after non-Spider heroes when he was drugged or thought they were evil was Spider-Man. Granted, he doesn't go hunting down Captain America or the Human Torch, but he doesn't make himself out to be the guy seeking justice.
He just has a hate-on for Spider-Man. Eddie has unresolved anger issues, alright, but because of his nonstop lying, manipulation, etc, he is an unsympathetic and unrelateable character. You don't feel for him, because, again, there's nothing to feel for. Man, the lying he does is unbelievable. He first lies about finding a cat which he is hinted to have stolen and hidden in a box ,which is just plain ridiculous.
He then lies his way into his college's newspaper, after which he then scams his future wife Ann Weying into loving him. He then scams his way into an intern at the Daily Globe, where he scams his way into getting an exclusive with the fake Sin Eater. You know, Marvel did this before. They called the character Carnage. Carnage was a psychopathic murderer long before he bonded with his symbiote. He was pretty much like Venom, except that he was much more brutal and undiscriminating on who his victims were.
Much like Carnage, Wells' Brock is a lying sack of sh1t before he bonds with his.
