Remember that crazy, toothy alien symbiote we all secretly (or not so secretly) love? Yep, I'm talking about Venom! And remember that even crazier, redder, even toothier symbiote we were promised? Carnage!
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because the saga of Eddie Brock and his extraterrestrial roommate took a wild ride to our screens in Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
So, When Did Carnage Cause Chaos?
Here's the lowdown. Venom: Let There Be Carnage actually premiered in theaters on October 1, 2021 in the United States. That's right, it's been a couple years since the symbiotes clashed on the big screen!
You might be thinking, "Wait, I thought it was supposed to come out earlier!". You're not wrong. The release date had more twists and turns than a symbiote trying to escape a government lab.
The Release Date Dance
Originally, the film was slated for October 2020, but, well, a certain global event threw a wrench into those plans. The release date got bumped...and bumped...and bumped again.
At one point, it was scheduled for June 2021, then September 2021, before finally sticking to its October 1st release date. Talk about a dramatic entrance!
It's like trying to plan a surprise party for a supervillain, always having to change plans to avoid getting caught, or worse, getting eaten.
Why All the Fuss About Carnage?
Carnage, the symbiote bonded to serial killer Cletus Kasady, is basically Venom's evil twin with an even bigger appetite for destruction. Imagine Venom, but with absolutely no moral compass and a serious craving for chaos.
Woody Harrelson, channeling his inner maniac, brought Cletus Kasady to life, making him the perfect host for the bloodthirsty symbiote. It was terrifying and strangely captivating all at once.
Seeing Venom, who's usually the "bad guy," have to face off against someone even *worse* creates a fascinating dynamic. It's like watching a grumpy cat team up with a golden retriever to stop a rabid badger.
The Symbiotic Shenanigans We Missed
Beyond the release date drama, Venom: Let There Be Carnage delivered exactly what it promised: a chaotic, action-packed, and surprisingly funny romp through the symbiotic world.
Eddie and Venom's relationship was pushed to its limits, providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Their bickering is reminiscent of an old married couple, just with significantly more teeth and gooey appendages.
“We are Venom!” - Every Venom fan, probably.
And let's not forget the post-credits scene that blew everyone's minds and sent the internet into a frenzy of speculation. It hinted at a major connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for our favorite symbiote.
So, while the actual release date might be old news now, the excitement and anticipation surrounding Venom: Let There Be Carnage are a reminder of how much we love these quirky, monstrous characters. They may be dangerous, but they sure know how to entertain us.
If you haven’t watched it yet, go check it out. You are in for a treat, a symbiote treat!
