If Venom is so much of a loser back home, how did they end up on this highly important mission? What possible purpose would they serve? Riot is the leader, of course, and I’m assuming Carrion (yellow) and Blight (blue) would probably be like combat and study, so why is this dumb gay there?
And then it hit me.
The only constructs Venom ever produced during fights were defensive. When the Foundation goons bust up Eddie’s apartment, they make a shield to protect the people whose window they just crashed through from getting shot. The fight with Riot, they produce a big one to keep him from tearing their face off. After the rocket, they created a parachute so Eddie didn’t get hurt—at what could easily have been the cost of their own life. They told Anne not to get involved because it would be dangerous.
Venom was just a tank. The only reason they were there was to take damage and keep the others safe.
Fuck, man.
…and of COURSE the team protector would be the one to look at this planets sweaty inferior meatbags and go ‘but consider: what if I protect THIS, actually’
LucasFilm: This is General Armitage Hux of the First Order. He was raised by Commandant Brendol Hux, who mentally and physically abused and manipulated Armitage all his life, giving Armitage no choice but to find joy in controlling and manipulating others the same way his father did to him. He spent his whole life in the First Order and has therefore never known any other way of life, and that, coupled with his father’s abuse, has turned him into a ruthless monster hell-bent on destroying what he believes to be a group of terrorists – the Resistance – even if this means he must order the genocide of entire planets. This character is one that you’re not supposed to be a fan of or vouch for, but one you can at least understand and feel an ounce of pity for.
I believe that everybody has every emotion inside of them somewhere and I feel that an actor’s work is to be able to acknowledge that and know them as well as they can so they can play around with them. So when I read something and I find it inspiring I try to focus on what is the most powerful emotion; what is driving this person and can I recognize that? It might only be a small part of me but I try to multiply it so it becomes much bigger than it is in my own character. After that, I look at the other characteristics I have as a person and decide if they’re part of the character I’m playing. So if it doesn’t have my empathy I take the empathy away, but if it has this very dark side I recognize, I try to multiply it. So in many ways I’m just peeling off instead of adding in and hopefully somewhere down the line that will create a character that I can recognize, and people will recognize me in that, but it’s not me.
