At that [rehearsal], Tom saw that the production designer had put a giant lobster tank in the center of the restaurant and that was just a true design choice just to make it seem like a fancy restaurant. As soon as Tom sees it, he goes, ‘Well, I’m going to go in the tank.’

Even if you’re Tom Hardy, you don’t just jump in a lobster tank and call it day. “The designer was like, ‘We didn’t build it for somebody to go in!’” Fleischer says. “And, you know, they were all live lobsters.”

Then improvised direction required the rejiggering of major elements to allow for Eddie/Venom to plunge into and feast, and for Hardy to do it all safely. As anyone who witnessed the The Mask-like spectacle, they pulled off the construction and stunt work under the wire. And the lobsters gobbled up by a Venomized Eddie? Marshmallow crustaceans with chocolate syrup blood.

How the best scene in Venom was improvised

film producers: *masculinity so terribly frail, sickly and vapid that, when tasked with depicting a canonically queer romantic relationship between a human and a genderless alien slime, decided to stick tits on the slime*

@commanderabutt

Sorry to have to break it to you but Eddie Brock is an alien fucker.

I thought i was all for this monster/alien fucking, but i never wanted to read

*splop* ‘Yeah…ohhhh, yeah. That’s it, baby’ *veech* *thwipp* *SPLAP* ‘Wrap those tentacles around me.’

A little….just a little too much for me. Little too graphic.

So we know how two of the favorite superhero peril tropes are A) Threaten a Loved One and B) Villain unwittingly taking the in-civvies Hero as a hostage. Venom and Eddie’s situation presents an opportunity for a special hybrid of both.

Because honestly, both Venom and Eddie have all the subtlety of a firework stand in a bonfire and X Evil Organization is bound to tail the burly man-eating monster to Eddie’s home and

Goons, breaking down the door: Alright Brock, no more games

Eddie: What

Goons: Don’t play dumb here, Eddie. We know the truth and our employer is determined to have a long, violent chat with the bastard eating all of his men. So we’ll make this simple for you:

Goons: Where is your 10 ft tall cannibal boyfriend?

Eddie: 

Venom, inside Eddie: Eddie. Eddie, tell them where he is

Eddie, going thru every stage of grief and inventing new ones: ………………..um

Venom, all up in Eddie’s everything, every slime cell of him laughing to tears: Tell them where your boyfriend is, Eddie
