10 More Perfect Scenes In God-Awful Movies

2. Venom Sizes Up Spidey - Venom: Let There Be Carnage

It tells you all you need to know about the quality of a superhero sequel when the most captivating element on show pops up once the main portion of the action has mercifully come to an end.

And that's precisely what went down during 2021's clunky, CGI-stuffed follow-up to Tom Hardy's first Venom outing, with this instantly forgettable entry seeing Eddie Brock and his symbiote mate going through a rough patch before locking horns with Woody Harrelson's kooky Cletus Kasady/Carnage.

While the climactic battle of the gooey forces may have been a bit of a drag and a lot of the campy charm wasn't quite as unexpectedly funny this time around, though, Let There Be Carnage did at least come with one of the most exciting mid-credit teases in superhero movie history.

With both Eddie and Venom enjoying a bit of time out on vacation, their room suddenly begins to shake and flicker. And before they know what in the holy hell is going on, Venom soon clocks a rather familiar spider on the TV screen, slapping his iconic tongue on the set in what likely mirrored the reaction of many a Spider-fan licking their lips at the concept of Hardy's Venom finally colliding with Tom Holland's web-slinger.

That disappointingly didn't ultimately come to pass in No Way Home, of course. But that doesn't change the fact that this masterfully executed post-credits sequence managed to conjure up a frankly absurd amount of hype for the Spider-film on the horizon.
