Marvel's Spider-Man 2: VENOM'S NAME EXPLAINED!!! Death Cloaked in Beast's Flesh! 

DO NOT CALL US A THING!!! What are your thoughts on the origin of Venom's name in Marvel's Spider-Man 2? This discussion was actually clipped from one of my recent livestreams (ru-vid.comh-cx2NyM3LU?si=XcU64u8BHWgJOUkj) that I thought would be fun to turn into its own video. More traditional videos will be uploaded in the next coming days, so stay tuned! Let me know all of your thoughts and be sure to like, share, comment, and subscribe! Thank you all so much for watching!

I feel that the symbiote is not truly evil it feels hurt and betrayed that Peter rejected it! When venom says to kraven "we were separated because of you" that's not entirely coming from harry!

As much as i love this insomniac and thier take on Spider-man in these games. The fact that we have to theorize something as simple as why Venom goes by Venom is a problem. They totally could’ve fleshed the Venom aspect of the game out more, because the fans (us) are doing a lot of heavy lifting to make it all make sense.

It started with Kraven Killing Peter and ended with Harry and the Symbiote killing Kraven... Poetic

“You want death ? Then, give up.” Love that line during his fight against Kraven 👍🔥

You are just made the best insomniac venom video analysis twice, you explained insomniac venom better than these people who are saying it's woke or trash

I feel like this explanation is what was missing in the actual game. We learned so little about the Symbiotes, why Oscorp was studying it; specifically How it connects to the Lizard formula and perhaps Devil’s breath. They needed another 3 hours of gameplay and story in the final act.

You definitely explained it well that I like it and you should definitely work for Insomniac especially since they know you. Maybe as a writer or something. You know what they say for a job, it's all about connection and references

You're voice is kinda muffled Evan

Congratulations, Evan. You just made me love this game more, and I didn't think that was possible!

Dude you have to work with insomniac games because after your venom video and this, you should be the main writer for spider man 3 and marvel venom gamew

The name Venom was always significant to Eddie Brock because it stems from him and the symbiote wanting to torment Spider-Man for rejecting them both. It never made sense for Harry to choose that name in the context of him wanting to “heal the world”. There’s nothing venomous about healing the world so it always seemed contradictory to name himself after something associated with poison.

"You have to kill us" - Venom

You explained Venom in this game very well you sir are the true Spider-Man Fan

Thank you so much for making this whole Venom storyline to make sense. At face value it’s a weird one but with this analysis I have a new appreciation for it. Fyi I’ve always liked this venom since my first play through, it’s an interesting take which I liked but didn’t fully understand.

I'd believe all if writers actually made a step towards this explanation. Not in any way shape or form a word similar to what I'll write comes out from either Harry after bonding Venom or Peter after getting the symbiote; "Not as Venomous? We'll see..." We do not hear anything about Venom till Harry says it. If the whole thing was true and if the whole "Not as Venomous as they say" towards peter leaded up to Harry getting its name of, any writer would drop something similar to what I wrote to foreshadow it. To me, Kraven just told it to Spider species as general like tarantula's and so on. It had no weight on it. So when we hear Harry saying "We are Venom" after all these things, it comes off and unrelated. It was just another bad writing decision from Insomniac's lead writer. Which is also why people didn't liked Harry being the "Venom". Just putting out there, Venom already does not makes sense with Harry in general anyways. Unless Harry is a stupid moron, all he has gone through was to save his life. Both his Father and Peter worked through the whole game just to save his life. Yes, Peter became jerk to him after learning he was wearing a Alien but again, game already implies that decision alone was Symbiote's doing. Symbiote didn't wanna let go of Peter. Altered his mind. Like how Mr.Negative said. Not only that but Harry has two eyes that can see Peter changing since he got the symbiote. Harry knows Peter, Harry grown up with Peter. The fact that Harry would believe "Oh it is just Peter being jerk to me" is already dumb enough. MJ even gets Peter is changing due to Symbiote.

I learned so much about Venom and the Symbiotes, now I need to read Venom Epic Collections. You're right about one thing, Evan. Venom is Spider-Man's greatest mistake. The Symbiote doesn't just bond to you, it feeds on your emotions such as greed, Rage, Hatred, Envy, and also sorrow. This story analysis on Venom in the Insomniac Spider-Man universe shows why Insomniac Spider-Man is a combination of 616 Spider-Man and 1610 Spider-Man. Same goes for Insomniac Venom. He has the ferocious animalistic nature of Ultimate Venom and the vengeful brutality of 616 Venom.

If I’m being honest, it kinda felt like you’re yapping in this video bro. Mostly felt like you’re just repeating everything in the Original Venom Video

Dont think I've ever clicked on a video so fast haha 😅.

I love this channel, but I extremely doubt that they did all this with what you had in mind

"You abandoned us while we were fighting for our lives" -venom I love that line because i felt so bad for Harry and venom since they both wanted to help peter and he betrayed both of them

Spectacular video!!!! Great stuff as always, but I love it when you dig down deep into the lore and world.

I had not idea that there was a true meaning for venom. 😱😱

That ending 🔥🔥🔥🔥

When is this PlayStation showcase going to start? I want it and I want it now.

Dude I read a comment that said you can Venom's voice when it tries latch on his hand. Hope we get a video game based on Venom. Amazing viedo Evan keep it up.

In the end, Kraven did win. He got that perfect death that he wanted.

I’m glad I’m not alone in defending this venom

I always assumed that Peter remembered hearing, “Not as Venomous as they say,” which while he may not remember the symbiote definitely did and chose for it to represent all of Peter’s built up rage and aggression now passed on to Harry.

That’s actually really solid reasoning. Great explanation man! Definitely improves my outlook on it. I was one of the players that was kind of like “where did Harry think of the name?”

Nice that they kept the element where the Symbiote inherits memories of their hosts.

Great breakdown, Evan!

This was my one problem with this venom like his name makes no sense

The issue with this is the fact that it has to be explained like this at all, and even with this analysis, it still feels flimsy. It's Venom in name but thats it and ultimately disappointing imo

There's so much to this game's story beyond what lies at surface level.

Hey Evan! Another great Venom video analysis! Can you also analyse the Anti Venom symbiote in the game?

15:45 Holy crap that went hard

Miles know what he was talking about my guy what

Every Kraven line in that Venom Boss Fight was immaculate

We haven’t gotten a comic accurate live action venom yet but I can appreciate the variants we have. It leaves hope for the future at the very least…

We are venommmmm

If the Flash appeared in the game Spider-Man 2

I'm telling you, who wants to listen. There's no combo skill tree, no symb.button switch, no new neutral dodge animations...but yet, MJ is playable? Someone should not be sitting at that table. Let me Elaborate. The 3 games are perfect i plat. Now that they improved the physics on new gen combat and swinging, even better. But they cannot keep gettin away with the 4x square combo. PLEASE INSOMNIAC I CANNOT ANYMORE IT'S BEEN A TRILOGY. AIR COMBAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THEY REALLY GOT AWAY WITH IT 3 TIMES AS A FAN THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP WHY IS NO ONE SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS

Great video!

The symbiote nowadays is being overused when Peter gets it and he's being angry and more aggressive. It's honestly getting annoying. Plus, I know a lot of people were debating about if Peter was nerfed, and to me, I kinda believe he was. He kinda felt weaker till get got the symbiote. But what else is annoying is them marketing venom to be the big bad when you barely got him. Like I said before, this game is like the equivalent of Spider-Man 3 in which things happened (not exactly but story beats). Example: Kraven=Sandman, Venom=Venom. Sandman was shown more in Spider-Man 3 then venom even though Venom was marketed more. The game is still good but it still has it's flaws.
