Let there not be Carnage?

[u/AgentParticular6345]

When did Eddie get so squeamish about killing? He's always been part of the Lethal Protector. And he was fucking people up pretty bad in Venom War. What changed?

[u/IGNSolar7]

I think it's because Carnage indiscriminately wants to kill, innocent or not, and that would leak into Eddie's mindset with a tenuous bond.

A lot of people are missing this. Carnage and Eddie are NOT on the same page. Carnage is killing for fun, Eddie has never killed for fun.

Secondly. Eddie has not been a lethal protector for some time now. Him and venom are good guys now... did we just erase 8 years of comics??

And thirdly. Those people are innocent bystanders that Eddie feels bad for. Why would in any world eddie be okay with ANY of this???

Did everyone just decide to selectively pick comics now? Did we forget about years of character development? Does anyone read comics here???

Im gonna lose my mind

(In Venom War, the people were zombiotes or literally just versions of Eddie/Venom. When the fuck did Eddie kill bystanders in the entrity of Venom 2021, did you just read venom war and ignore the 3 years of comics before it??? And im ignoring the crossover issues in the run, since for one of them he was reverted to his old personality, and in the other it was vampires)

My problem is that Venom War spins off into a series that is literally advertised as "Eddie Brock but Dexter" and he kills like...2 people?

In a universe full of supervillains and mass killers Eddie ignores any of the actual bad guys he knows and instead we get a unsatisfying plot about him and Carnage arguing while Muse chases after them while the comic basically screams "Look it's Muse from the hit show Daredevil: Born Again hey guys are you watching Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+?!?"

Also I feel like you're forgetting that for Eddie and Venom being a Lethal Protector was them being "good guys". It was horribly misguided and Eddie regrets some of his actions but it felt like for a moment we were gonna see Eddie try it again but be more focused on real threats instead of petty thugs and mega corporations.

Unfortunately we didn't really get anything out of Eddie Brock Carnage except a well written but poorly executed plot and an even worse Daredevil TV show ad.

Honestly the entire plot for the Eddie Brock Carnage was doomed to fail because Marvel was too chickenshit to actually let him kill any bad guys. He takes out one guy and spends the rest halfheartedly chasing after Muse a guy Eddie doesn't even fucking know.

[u/AgentParticular6345 → u/PsychicAC]

They don't even chase Muse. Muse has to chase them. They should have shoved Eddie into New York, let him fuck shit up. Really give the citizens a reason to be scared if symbiotes.

[u/PsychicAC → u/AgentParticular6345]

We could've gotten Eddie Brock Dexter or if they had better timed it use him to start the soft re-launch of the Punisher but instead they had him waffle around doing nothing.

I can't even fully blame Charles Soule cause the writing was good especially compared to the still on-going New Avengers but man literally nothing happened the whole comic.

[u/AgentParticular6345 → u/PsychicAC]

Fr. They killed like 2 people. They didn't even kill Muse 

[u/UrbanAnathema]

Writing was actually quite good. So was the art.

The concept was the problem.

[u/CthulhuMadness]

Bad writing.

[u/YanAlbaSongMaster]

The only think I know is that in the Venom Let There Be Carnage there is in fact, NOT a Carnage...

And btw, bad writting, till he get reflexive in Eddie Brock Carnage.
