It happens at like 2 am in the morning when Peter was staying over once and got some late night cravings. And it was one of the first times that Tony actually goes to bed at a reasonable time too (Peter exhausts him you see with all this youth energy) only to be woken up by Friday who tells him what’s going on.
Peter watches a grumbling Tony wearing Spider-Man slippers walk over to him and says
“Kid I have half a mind to leave you like this overnight to think about your actions”
“Mister stark no pls”
“Kid we have two full bag of Doritos upstairs in the kitchen”
“…….”
“They’re the wrong flavor.”
“Fucking hell, kid,” Tony rubbed his face. “I’m getting too old for this.”
like honestly? what really is getting me about spider man: homecoming is that literally nobody but peter and the vulture knows what he went through that night. peter was almost crushed by a building, repeatedly beaten, dropped from a height, basically beat half to death … and nobody knows?? tony don’t even know bc peter was in the suit that didn’t have all the high-tech recording?? peter was left bleeding for his city and u bet ur buttons won’t say a thing about it to anybody
like I need someone to kNOW what he gave and went through and still saved the vultures life at the end
I need to know someone is checking his injuries and making sure his trauma is addressed and giving peter hugs?? is that too much to ask?
I don’t just mean that it’s chinese box office figures are great. They are, but the audience is also emotionally thirsty for venom. He’s the new number one dream boyfriend. All the chinese articles I’ve read keep talking about his 男友力, his boyfriend power level(ie how good a SO is) and how its off the charts. How even people who aren’t into superheroes and are just along for the ride will be charmed at this romantic dreamboat. How adorable and lovable and cute and charming he is. How he’s become a 国民男友, a National Boyfriend, ie, someone the whole country wants to date because they’re such a Ideal BF. That Women Love Venom is accepted fact. The top three things articles in Chinese keep mentioning about the film are a)the box office success, b)how popular venom is With The Ladies in the audience and how he’s an Ideal Boyfriend, and how Venom and Eddie have Incredible Chemistry and c)blah blah cast plot trailer reactions blah. I’m so proud of the goo, y’all, he’s such a good boyfriend to Eddie that he’s made himself a Publically Recognised Dreamboat.
And this reaction wasn’t exactly unanticipated. Official promo images included art of Venom being a great BF in this vein:
Yes. That’s been on the official Weibo (chinese Twitter) account.
The little stamp says Venom: Caring Protector (the film is released in China as Venom: lethal protector so its a play on that). The term 暖男 is a particular archetype of caring and emotionally available man. A sweet softboy, if you will.
Highlights from articles include:
V keeps being called a 忠犬, a “loyal dog” love interest archetype who is loyal and self sacrificing and values his SO above all else. Kind of like the Service in Service Top.
he gets called 蠢萌 and 贱萌, which respectivekey are cute because he’s a dumbass and cute because he’s a dick
One article talks about how you expect a monster but you get a beautiful creature with beautiful perfect teeth. Ok???? Horny much????
Insisting he’s lovable because he’s Sensitive and Emotionally Intelligent, and know What Women Want, as shown by the scene where he coaches Eddie through his convo with Anne in the car
These aren’t from fanblogs by they way they’re from movie and entertainment sites and are Articles.
there’s this one user’s review on the biggest chinese movie review site that talks about how Venom is so sexy it makes them tremble. I’ve seen it quoted like four times.
Admittedly I’m biased but I just finished reading a Chinese think piece on Why Venom Is The Sexiest Villain so excuse me if I’m too enthusiastic. FYI reasons include:
he’s played by Tom hardy who is Sexy. (Hardy’s Chinese fan nickname is 汤老湿, which sounds like tom+sensei, but written as Tom+always wet…Chinese people are horny for Tom hardy.)
Because he’s got that contrast of sharp and lethal on the outside and soft and tender on the inside
And my favourite: because he is Socially Responsible and Does The Right Thing and is a Good Boy for Saving The Earth And Mrs Chen The Shopkeeper. This writer is so horny for V???? I’m screaming.
