Okay, I’m calling bullshit on both the film and the comic versions of Marvel civilians’ general reaction to Venom being: ‘oh no a monster D:’ It’s just too unrealistic even for the standard level of Marvel civilian foolishness. They are living in a world where demons, mutants, aliens, A.I., and living breathing gods are their fellow pedestrians and you’re telling me they’re going to look at this
and this
and this
and this
like he’s not the man-assed musclebeast mascot of San Francisco?
Like he’s not constantly getting phone numbers scrawled on bar napkins plastered to his buff Silly Putty biceps??
Like seven out of ten ‘victims’ he rescues in a week aren’t the same handful of fans who purposely walk down dark alleys with boxes of Godiva on hand???
Like he’s never been stopped by the world’s most steel-balled paparazzi on the street and broke the city’s heart by stating, “What? No, of course I’m not single,” before immediately mending that heart by following with, “But if my Other is cool with it we’re down for a threesome,”????
Impossible. This is the Age of the Monsterfucker and I refuse to believe such hearsay
As someone from San Francisco, I will tell you now that 2/3 of our fine city would appreciate an ass like that.
It took approximately four seconds for the whole city of Philadelphia to accept hideous monster Gritty as their precious smol son. Venom would *immediately* be taken into the fold and showered with love and propositioned *constantly* by people who think Cap is too much of a boy scout and Loki is too skeevy.
