Venom Trailer 2 Reactions: 2 Ups & 7 Downs

3. "Sym-BYE-otes"

Jenny Slate has already caught a ton of flak online for the way she pronounces "symbiote" in the trailer, and while it might not seem like a big deal, considering that decades of Marvel lore have made it clear the word is pronounced as "sym-BEE-ote", it's wince-inducing to hear her say "sym-BYE-ote" not once but twice.

More to the point, the fact that nobody on the production thought to correct her on this is especially worrying, and perhaps an indication that the movie's going to skimp on attention-to-detail overall.

One thing's for sure, the Internet's gonna make sure Jenny Slate won't forget about this for a long time. At least the pronunciation could be fixed in post, right?
