10 scenes that most define the story of Venom’s Marvel movie

Notice! This post contains SPOILERS for Venom: The Last DanceMarvel Poison and Eddie Brock have had a pretty wild ride throughout their film trilogy, and there are a handful of scenes that most define their cinematic journey. In total, Marvel’s Lethal Protector has been seen in three films (and a brief appearance in the MCU). That being said, Eddie and Venom have only been linked for a year. Likewise, it’s not difficult to extract the Venom movie’s story from a few key scenes.

As of 2018, Sony Poison Tom Hardy debuted as Eddie Brock, who finds himself linked to an alien symbiote. Since then, Venom and Brock have become The Lethal Protector, a dysfunctional duo trying to do the right thing in Sony’s Spider-Man universe (and beyond). To that end, here are 10 scenes that most define Venom’s Marvel movie story.

Venom teaming up with Eddie Brock

Some major growing pains

By breaking into the Life Foundation’s laboratories after being fired from his job as an investigative journalist, Eddie Brock became the unwitting host of the Venom symbiote. As such, the hilarity of Eddie’s body trying to regulate and deal with the new alien organism in his body is a lot of fun to watch. Likewise, no scene better defines just how upside-down Eddie’s life has become with Venom than when he jumps into a restaurant’s lobster tank to cool off (while also eating one of the lobsters in front of his ex- girlfriend and her new boyfriend).

At the end of Let there be carnageVenom and Eddie are transported against their will to the MCU universe known as Earth-616.

Knull, the symbiote God is coming

There are still threats to come

One of the post-credits scenes of Venom: The Last Dance is also quite memorable, as it shows that there are still more dangers and threats with symbiotes in Sony’s Spider-Man universe. Despite showing Andy Serkis’ Knull still trapped on his throne, the Symbiote God makes it clear that he will soon be free to burn everything down, wanting to restore the universe back to eternal darkness before being “infected” by light and life. As such, the appearance of such a major Marvel villain is very exciting, while also teasing that the Venom symbiote and Eddie may one day return to face Knull directly.
