the critics saying Tom Hardy is “over-acting” in Venom are just used to superhero movie protagonists being stoic and silent and don’t know what to do with an actor who actually makes his characters express emotions in healthy ways lmao
(mild spoilers ahead) When Eddie’s sad he looks miserable and teary and openly expresses why. He shrieks when he’s startled. He panics when he’s confused and worried. He silently screams when he’s angry and can’t do anything about it. He reacts to the events of the movie in a way that someone might actually respond.
Critics are just so used to machismo in their superhero movies that they don’t know what to do in the absence of it.
point being: Venom was fucking good and the critics are wrong
creating venom without spider-man has created the greatest dynamic between eddie and venom that has ever existed. they aren’t bonding over being hating peter parker, they’re bonding over the fact that they’re both complete losers. they’re two losers that love to eat junk food out of the trash and they can combine together to form an eight foot tall space monster.
I can’t @ the scene where Anne is taking Eddie to the hospital and she asks “is he.. talking to you?” and Eddie mournfully gazes out the window and whispers a cracked “always” ,,, he’s only been there for like a DAY you dramatic bitch
Yeah yeah I know. I’ve seen the comic book panels. I already knew it was. And yet I keep feeling like I have to pinch myself because WHAT??!?
After hoping in vain so many times for so many ships and knowing in my heart that much as I would love to, I will never see my OTP happy, together, and acknowledged, this exists.
I will never be over this. I will never stop being flabbergasted and overjoyed.
