Venom Trailer 2 Breakdown: 11 Things You Need To See

2. Whatever... This Line Was

For the sake of ending all confusion with this line: yes, Venom does indeed use an analogy of a 'turd in the wind' to describe the impending limb-loss his victim is about to endure; not bird, not nerd - turd.

It's definitely a zinger, and obscures the tone of the film somewhat. The rest of the trailer positions the feature as a horror film first and foremost, which lines up with previous statements from the cast and crew that've likened it to the works of David Cronenberg, but this last line is just bizarre.

This isn't to say that the film shouldn't attempt to be funny - of course not. The issue, really, is that it's a tad juvenile; Venom can invoke enough terror just by standing around and offering threats without the faecal comparisons, and this last line somewhat reduces the menace his presence alone provides.
