Venom: 9 Most Hilariously Awful Moments

5. Venom Calls Eddie A "P*ssy"

When Eddie and Venom prepare to confront Drake, Venom suggests they just scale the side of the building like the bada**es they obviously are, but Eddie's not quite so sure, opting to take the elevator instead.

At this point, Venom calls him a "p*ssy", a moment before Drake's death squad shows up to interrupt things.

This is one of those gags that again just makes the movie feel stuck in the mouldy past of the superhero genre: it's so lamely, blatantly pandering to the teen crowd but without any real wit whatosever.

Eddie and Venom's interactions together are mostly among the movie's high-points, but this exchange just typifies how absurdly lazy and cynical the script can be at times. You might laugh at it regardless, but probably for the "wrong" reasons.
