Symbiote gay
You know the drill. Did I almost cry? Oct 26, Discussion about this post Comments Restacks. Either way, go see Eddie Brock get his heart shattered over the love and best sex of his life—an alien symbiote with better comedic timing than Tom Hardy can dream of.
Leave a comment. Yeah—you know the one. In this week’s edition of Super Specific, Diana Velasquez talks about all the ways the queer community can see themselves in the character Venom. Maybe neither. Substack is the home for great culture.
And that is, to be sure, one symbiote where the film succeeds. There are empty dreams and emptier promises. It must have been a rough year for you, my guy —that it finds its cathartic stride. There are some laughs beforehand, though they come out more as weak, obligatory chuckles.
The first comes about halfway through the film. Between those scenes, honestly, you have a whole damn movie. Top Latest Discussions. You convince yourself, as we are wont to do, that this moment can last forever. The film really shines, though, in its quiet moments.
In the trailer, which dropped on Monday (3 June), Eddie Brock and his alien gay, both played by Tom Hardy, conclude the Sony Pictures trilogy in a madcap. By Venom’s second’s day of release, Tumblr users were already declaring the film “was good and gay and everything that I wanted the Symbiote choose his human crush of like 2 days over his entire species.” Tumblr denizens co-opting decidedly heterosexual media as covertly queer is nothing new.

It’s that self-sacrificial martyr on the pyre scene. Start your Substack Get the app. Will I watch this movie again? Yeah—you know the one. But when it slows down, Venom actually seems to look like a good film. The other scene that I won’t be forgetting soon is the response to that hippie Van scene’s call.
The official trailer for Venom: The Last Dance has been released and, with it, a reminder that the maniacal symbiote is pretty queer-coded. Between those scenes, honestly, you have a whole damn movie. The gays have been living off of crumbs so long, I honestly think we prefer it that way.
Hell no. Ready for more?
