prevnextNot gonna lie, just by the trailer alone I'm not excited for the venom movie. The trailer looks like a fan made it.

I had lowered expectations and that Venom trailer STILL failed to meet them.
Bravo Sony, that whole 'bottom out the film division to get as little money as possible in the sale" plan is bold, but innovative.
And dumb.

prevnextHonestly, I'm mostly still baffled that Venom is a movie. That trailer doesn't inspire hope either. It looks fan-made.

Gifs of Rage
More than disappointed, there were some fans that were straight up angry about the whole thing.

No Venom?
As you just saw, most of the anger came from the fact that the Venom teaser didn't actually show the Venom character at all. It was just a bunch of footage of Tom Hardy running around.
Welp that Venom trailer was nothing.....like, not even the fact we didn't see "Venom" at all, just the whole teaser was just....any other movie.

Really loved that Venom trailer with absolutely zero Venom in it. Pointless teaser is pointless. pic.twitter.com/Pb7lXMwh37

Got Jokes?
It's easy to get angry about the Venom trailer, we get it. But why not channel that aggression into a snarky joke that the rest of Twitter can laugh about?
Sony Exec 1: "Think we need to put a shot of Venom in the VENOM trailer?"

Sony Exec 2: "Nah."

prevnextTHE VENOM TRAILER: "There's a guy. And he's on the run. And s... something has happened, and boom dramatic music, and motorcycle, and... mm, lotta, you know, lotta grr, oh no."
ME: "Is there any Venom in it?"
TRAILER: "No, but it's cool, it's -- wow, some shit's happening."

The Real Question
Everybody had thoughts on the Venom trailer and, as they do, everybody voiced them. However, it was Bill Bradley who looked beyond his feelings to really ask the important questions.
