Venom Has Turned into a Honky
Posted at 11:30 AM Apr 30, 2008
Entertainment Weekly has revealed an exclusive look at Venom's new design above, and says that he's going to be called Anti-Venom. I have no feelings about this, but EW also has a collage of pics for Spidey's "New Ways to Die" summer storyarc, which includes a pic of someone standing over Kraven the Hunter's grave, which makes me think he's getting resurrected and makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Hey, sorry for three days of Marvel news in a row—I'm not trying to pimp them or shit on them, I just never hear any DC news, and thus never know what the hell is going on there.
Also, Entertainment Weekly—what the hell is up with all these comic book news exclusives recently? Why you gotta take this shit away from us? We nerd sites need something for our own, since you guys get all the comic movie news too. Kindly back the fuck off. Or hire me. One of the two.

What. The. Fuck.
Posted 04/30/2008 at 08:58:12 AMYou saying Venom is now a honky reminded me of a theory I had when I finished watching Spiderman 3.
Spiderman 3, I theorized, is a racist, imperialistic, jingoistic film, with a touch of neo-nazi thrown in.
If you think of the main characters in this way:
Peter = American white male
Eddie Brock = the American Press
Sandman = terrorists/terrorism
The alien symbiote = illegal immigrants
The black costume = Rap culture
Venom = Ethnic-American sympathies,
it will all make sense.
Peter(white male)is doing fine with his original(red, white, & blue, ie. white American)costume. He happens upon the symbiote(illegal immigrants)who helps him(cheap labor)but at a high cost(non-taxable income). He discovers the symbiote also gives him a black costume(Rap culture)that increases his powers and gives him confidence, but changes his personality(wigger). Only when Peter forsakes the black costume/symbiote and reverts back to the "original" costume can he truly be himself. And who teams up against Spidey(white male)? Why none other than Venom(the American Press draped in Ethnic-American sympathies) and the Sandman(terrorists/terrorism). But since our hero is pure of national and racial identity, he can defeat the evil threatening his way of life. The end. Are we sure this screenplay wasn't written by the Bush administration?
Now I KNOW I can't be the only one who's thought about this.
Right?

Ah, sarcasm and humor are lost on some people.
Such is life.
