I Might Just Be Stating The Obvious But…I Think At The End Of The Movie Gamora Could Understand Groot

Best romcom of the year! 

listen. There's a whole mentality shift that needs to happen culture wide here, from the schools to the public infrastructure to pet ownership to the justice system

The proper response to your dog doing a natural behavior you dislike (digging/barking/protecting etc) it to give them an appropriate time and place to engage in that behavior

The proper response to skateboarders damaging infrastructure is to build more and better skate parks, or build skate elements into the public infrastructure on purpose.

The proper response to homeless people sleeping on park benches is to build them houses.

you see how there's like, a commonality at play here?

The proper response to a disruption is to address the root of the disruption directly, not somehow attack the disruption itself -

you don't invent a muffler by swinging a bat at the engine noise, you don't relieve your hunger by punching yourself in the stomach, you don't resolve public unrest by sending armed men to control them and you don't prevent homeless people using bus shelters as a roof by removing the bus shelters.

a whole ass shift in a basic mindset, i'm tellin' you. We need it.

i’m made up of cells cause my body is a prison

the most fortunate series of events

“You’re a legend Fred.”

“We’re all legends”

a solid visual representation of me in a bookstore

listen i know we’re gonna get a slow cinematic reveal that carol’s ship has arrived to save tony and nebula, but i much prefer the idea of nebula waiting until tony’s finished recording all his goodbye messages, and then she’s like “hey, are you done? this glowing woman showed up like three hours ago to save us but you seemed to be in the middle of something”

Little things I loved about Venom (2018)

(people seemed to like the one i did for Love, Simon so here we go away)

Eddie was right, Anne is a suit is 👀👌

the part with Anne leading Eddie to the bedroom with her tie was amazing, Eddie is such a bottom I just can’t

Drake telling the little girl that she’s in charge (I know he’s a dick but that was cute)

the bartender shutting Eddie down

Eddie’s whole interaction with Maria

“Meditation doesn’t work because I bought a DVD from your cousin and it’s in Mandarin.”

also, in that scene, you could see how much Eddie wanted to help

“How’s Mr. Belvedere?”

Eddie getting suspicious when Maria wasn’t there to charge him for the newspaper

the whole part with him calling Skirth out for obviously following him (I love the parallel of him seemingly talking to himself when talking to her vs seemingly talking to himself when talking to Venom)

Eddie immediately trying to help Maria despite not knowing if it would put him in danger

the whole chase scene sequence in the woods

*grabs steak and bites it* “That’s dead!”

the lobster tank

Dan, very patiently, trying to talk to Eddie in the lobster tank

Venom randomly blurting “Food!” because big mood

Eddie screaming when he first saw Venom in the mirror and knocking himself out

the neighbor’s reaction to Venom

“Is there a parasite that could make me climb a really tall tree but like super, super fast?” Eddie you dumb bi disaster

the entire chase scene through the city, especially the angry reaction to ‘parasite’ and Eddie and Venom bantering

“Oh, that was pretty cool, I’m not gonna lie!”

pretty much all of the dialogue of that scene

“I am Venom and you are mine” wow, okay, you possessive bastard

Venom correcting Eddie to say 'we’ instead of 'I’

Eddie protecting his security guard friend

Venom admiring the city while Eddie’s just worried about the height

“No, we do not eat policeman!”

Eddie and Venom running after Anne like in that vine, you know the one

Eddie asking for help like a reasonable person, his voice breaking and everything

Venom immediately liking Anne

“Aww, that’s nice.”

“You can hear him?” “All the time.”

Eddie’s it’s been less than 48 hours don’t be overdramatic

Riot bonding with a little girl, it added an extra creep factor that was just perfect

Eddie getting pissed at Venom and Venom insisting that he can heal him and telling him not to listen to Anne and Dan

“You were killing me? What happened to we?!”

because 1. Eddie pretty much calling Venom out for being a loser and 2. Eddie was already pretty committed to being a we

Venom using the dog as a host and Anne immediately recognizing them

the whole exchange with Drake/Riot

Eddie holding his own without Venom

Eddie making out with Venom/Anne without any hesitation

Venom admitting he’s a loser

“You. It was you, Eddie.” Fucking iconic.

Eddie and Venom reaching for each other

“You talk too much.”

Riot stabbing Eddie, I literally gasped even though I already knew it happened

Venom crawling over to Eddie while vaguely romantic music played in the background

“Traitor.” “Have a nice life.”

“Goodbye, Eddie.” Like c'mon, how am I not supposed to view this as a romance

Eddie (not very successfully) hiding Venom from Anne

Stan Lee’s cameo!!! Especially Venom asking, “Who was that guy?”

the whole ending scene that tied a bunch of stuff together

that post credit scene!!! I mean!!! Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady!!! Him writing 'Welcome Eddie’ in blood!!!! The setup for Carnage!!!!

anyway Venom (2018) is one of the best romantic comedies I’ve ever seen and all the critics who gave it bad ratings are dumb cowards
