Bet you didn't think that Venom would cause a rift between DC Comics fans and Lady Gaga fans, but somehow that crazy scenario has actually managed to happen.

Reactions to Sony's Venom film are starting to hit the internet, and some have noticed that a few of the Twitter accounts blasting the film seem to be bots. If not, then three different people said the exact same thing word for word, down to the emoji used.

An account dedicated to Lady Gaga came out to explain who is creating those bot accounts, as at some point the finger has been pointed towards fans of the singer and actress.

@gagamorphosis said "Those are DC fans. They're trying to pin in it on us Lady Gaga fans. They're the one who started it. I know a big DC fan account who's making these troll accounts."

That quickly prompted even more discussion regarding why people would blame Lady Gaga fans, which was explained by pointing out that Gaga's new movie A Star Is Born is also hitting theaters the same weekend as Venom.

Reactions overall seem to be mixed when it comes to Venom, so it's hard to point to any one group as the "culprit". We'll know a lot more when the movie releases fully at the end of this week, as more people will be able to weigh in.

As far as the two movies are concerned, Venom is currently pegged at an opening weekend of around $60 million to $70 million, while A Star Is Born is aiming for the $30 million market. Worldwide Venom is estimated to bring in around $175 million while A Star Is Born is estimated for around $50 million.

"One of Marvel's greatest and most complex characters takes center stage as Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes the host for the alien symbiote Venom. As a journalist, Eddie has been trying to take down the notorious founder of the Life Foundation, genius Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) - and that obsession ruined his career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams). Upon investigating one of Drake's experiments, the alien Venom merges with Eddie's body, and he suddenly has incredible new superpowers, as well as the chance to do just about whatever he wants. Twisted, dark, unpredictable, and fueled by rage, Venom leaves Eddie wrestling to control dangerous abilities that he also finds empowering and intoxicating. As Eddie and Venom need each other to get what they're looking for, they become more and more intertwined - where does Eddie end and Venom begin?"

Venom stars Tom Hardy (Venom/Eddie Brock), Michelle Williams (Anne Weying), Jenny Slate, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Lee (Donna Diego), Riz Ahmed (Dr. Carlton Drake), Sope Aluko (Dr. Rosie Collins), and Reid Scott.

Venom lands in theaters on Friday, Oct. 5.
