Movierush, focusing on sharing movie eggs.
In addition to the beloved teacher Tang, the most noteworthy things in the film are the various hidden eggs and the details of the comics. The following eggs are here to analyze the stalks buried in the movie one by one.
Astronaut Jameson
In the spacecraft that crashed at the beginning of the film, a surviving astronaut is named Jameson . He is the son of J. Jonah Jameson (the owner of Spider-Man) in the comics of the Daily Horn, the son of John Jameson (John Jameson) .
In the '94 Spider-Man animated version, it was Jameson who accidentally brought the symbiote back to Earth from outer space, triggering a series of events such as the blackening of Spider-Man and the birth of venom.
Eddie Bullock
It is mentioned in the film that Eddie used to work for the Universal Journal in New York, but because of an incident, he moved to San Francisco.
Anyone who has read the comics should know that this incident has a lot to do with Spider-Man, and it is also the beginning of the birth of Venom .
In the comic, Eddie used to be a columnist for the Global Journal. He became famous for revealing the identity of a serial murderer, but because the real criminal was caught by Spider-Man, Eddie lost his job and his girlfriend Annie left him. , His father also severed relations with him. Eddie blamed Spider-Man for all the misfortune, and hated him extremely.
The frustrated Eddie plans to go to church to end his life. Just before that, Spider-Man used the church bell to break the symbiote from his body. Eddie accidentally became a new host, and hatred made the symbiote more cruel and powerful, so the venom was born.
There are many details in the movie that echo the comics. For example, Eddie’s apartment has dumbbells everywhere, and in the comics, he often lifts weights to strengthen his body.
Eddie once overeated after being possessed by venom, and even gnawed lobsters crazily. This scene is reminiscent of the comic "Venom: The Hunger" where Eddie feels like eating any food under the influence of venom. The smell of rubbish results in a desire to eat human brains.
So the question is, why does the venom always want to eat the brain?
This is because the main food source of the symbiote is phenethylamine, which is usually found in the human brain or chocolate , so in the absence of chocolate, the symbiont will ask the host to eat the enemy’s brain. This behavior is venom or One of the most commonly used attack methods for other symbiont characters.
About Venom
The riot mentioned in the film that Venom is the weakest member of the Symbiotes Corps. There is a similar setting in the comic "Planet of the Symbiotes" (Planet of the Symbiotes) storyline, which mentions that the Symbiotes will continuously drain the host’s energy. , To make himself stronger, but Venom pursues harmony with its host, so he is regarded as a heterogeneous by his fellow race and is imprisoned.
In the film, the venom is parasitic on a puppy, and several symbionts in the comics have done the same thing. In 2003 Venom's first personal issue, Venom once possessed a sled dog.
About female venom
The most stunning scene in the film is that the heroine Anne briefly transforms into a She-Venom .
The setting of female venom refers to the third issue of "Venom: Sinner Takes All". In the comic, Annie is a successful lawyer and Eddie’s ex-wife. She was shot by a sinner and was seriously injured once. In order to keep her alive, Eddie let the venom be attached to Annie for a short time, and the female venom was born.
However, after waking up, Annie was traumatized by what she had done. At the same time, she couldn't accept Eddie's return to her. After a nervous breakdown, she finally chose to jump from the apartment and die.
Symbiote emotion
Symbiosis tends to amplify human emotions and show them in full , so although the venom possessed by Eddie has a violent personality, it also inherits the host's jealous and hateful character.
After Annie became a female venom, she returned the symbiote to Eddie by kissing (even though it seemed a little bit of love), which in fact reflected Annie's state of mind still in love with the other party.
Life Foundation
The Carlton Drake (Carlton Drake) led life Foundation (Life Foundation) in the comic is also a villain organization, but Drake is different from the movie "Space Dream", cartoons life Foundation Committed to let mankind survive in the last days, and the key to achieving this plan is the symbiosis of venom.
The Life Foundation took samples of symbionts from Eddie and combined them with other humans to create five powerful monsters- Riot, Scream, Lasher, Phage ) And extreme (Agony) .
Symbiote
The villain Riot in the movie is the leader of the Symbiote planet. Venom is a member of his command. In the comics Riot is one of the descendants of Venom, parasitized by Trevor Cole , a security guard of the Life Foundation. (Trevor Cole) , not Carlton Drake in the movie.
The yellow symbionts combined with rabbits in the laboratory are likely to be "howls . " The howling in the comics is parasitic on the hostess Donna Diego (Donna Diego) , which gives her bright yellow hair and looks very eye-catching.
Before the movie was released, many people thought that the role played by Michelle Lee in the trailer would be the howling host Donna Diego, but in fact she was just one of the hosts of the riot parasite.
Carlton Drake
At the beginning, Drake mentioned that the study of symbiosis was to find a way to cure cancer. In the comics, Drake once studied a serum to treat his cancer, and at the same time hoped to evolve into a higher level of life form. As a result, when he used it After experimenting with his body, he turned into a human-shaped spider monster .
It has been revealed in the comics that Eddie suffered from cancer before encountering the venom , because the symbiote kept swallowing cancer cells to allow him to survive.
In addition, in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, the symbiote is set as a man-made substance used to treat cancer , and it was jointly developed by Peter Parker's father and Eddie Bullock's father.
Roland Tris
In the movie, Roland Treece is a bald villain under Carlton Drake. In the comics, Roland Tris is an upper-class figure who owns his own company and is also a member of the Life Foundation.
Pop culture stalk
When describing that sound waves can be used to fight against symbionts, Annie mentioned Superman's Achilles heel- kryptonite . Although this is the element of the DC house next door, in fact kryptonite can be regarded as a kind of popular culture. Americans often use it to describe things that they hate or are not good at. So this way of expression actually brings the film and the real world closer. the distance.
In addition, Eddie also mentioned ET when chatting with the female doctor . Like Superman, they are all famous aliens in pop culture.
When Eddie called to apply for a job, he mentioned that he could use a female pseudonym and asked if he had seen Tootsie. This is the American comedy romance film "Tootsie" starring Dustin Hoffman in 1982. It is about an unknown male actor dressed up as a woman in order to get a job opportunity.
Tribute Comic
In the final battle of the film, the riots forcibly separated Venom and Eddie. This violent scene pays tribute to the cover of the third issue of the comic "Venom: Carnage Unleashed" .
When the venom caught Roland Tris in the film, it said "eyes, lungs, pancreas, so many snacks, so little time..." . This is the cartoon "magic Spider-Man" on page 374 , the venom with Spider-Man in the World War II say.
In the film, Eddie gets along well with street vagabonds. This setting pays tribute to the elements of the comic "Venom: Lethal Protector" . After Eddie moved to San Francisco, he often used Venom's ability to help the disadvantaged. Saved a few wanderers from the villain, but later learned that they were originally residents living in hidden dungeons.
Since the origin story of the movie version of Venom does not involve Spider-Man, the white spider stripes in the comics will naturally not appear on Venom, but according to the director, he will pay tribute to this setting in his own way , so we can see the movie Finally, when the venom was pierced through the chest by the spear, many white stripes ran on the venom's body.
In the film, Eddie is applying for jobs after losing his job. In one scene, he can be seen using his mobile phone to send a message to a person (note that the chat software is QQ). This person is Barney Bushkin , the owner of the Universal Daily in the comics. ) , Which is Eddie’s former boss.
William scream
In the melee between Venom and Special Forces, the famous "Wilhelm Scream" (Wilhelm Scream) appeared , which is a commonly used sound effect in film and television works, and is generally used when the character is attacked or fallen. This call was first recorded in 1951, and was carried forward by a character named William in the 1953 movie "Flying Sand River Attack" .
Guest star
Although Venom is not a character created by Stan Lee , he will not miss any Marvel movies when he is a guest star. After Eddie said goodbye to Annie at the end of the film, the father said to Eddie: "Don't give up her" and added the sentence "You two are both" , it seems that the existence of the venom has already been seen.
Tribute to the author
The film Eddie lived in the apartment called Schueller building (Building Schueller) , to pay tribute to a man named Randy Schueller (Randy Schueller) Marvel fans. At that time, the fan submitted a paper to Marvel Publishing House, suggesting that they make Spider-Man's costume black. Marvel thought this idea was great, so he bought the copyright for $220 and developed settings such as symbiotes and venom.
The law firm where Annie works is called "Michelinie & McFarlane Firm" , and pays tribute to the two cartoonists David Michelinie and Todd MacFarlane who created venom (the latter is also the creator of Reborn Man).
After the war, Eddie passed a pharmacy called Ron Lim Herbals on the street . The name paid tribute to the cartoonist Ron Lim of the same name , who was one of the artists of the comic "Venom: Deadly Guardian". This film is based on the adaptation of this comic.
End credit eggs-slaughter
Woody Harrison made a surprise appearance in the end credits. From the red hair and the blood on the door, plus the obvious lines ("When I leave here, the massacre will come"), we know that this character is a serial murderer. Cletus Kasady (Cletus Kasady) , which is the symbiote monster "carnage" (Carnage) .
In the comics, Casadi was born with a murderous nature. After becoming inmates with Eddie in prison, he was inadvertently possessed by the offspring produced by the venom and became a terrible "slaughter."
In addition, actor Wade Williams plays the guard escorting Eddie in this segment. He once played a guard in the classic American drama "Prison Break".
The second egg?
After the first easter egg was over, a line of words "At the same time, in another universe..." appeared on the screen, and then a clip of "Spider-Man: Into the Parallel Universe" was played , telling the little black spider Myles Morales Meet Peter Parker from different time and space and develop a witty story.
