Venom was neither the first nor best comic book movie to star an anti-hero, but it was one of the niche’s biggest and most successful exemplars to date. Anti-heroes have always been around in comic book movies, but Venom helped get these more aggressive and morally questionable kinds of heroes over with general audiences.Venom’s surprising success got newcomers interested in other anti-hero movies, and inspired older fans to revisit yesteryear’s edgiest heroes. After peaking in the ’90s, comic book anti-heroes found newfound relevance not because they were violent, but because they were an interesting alternative to their more clean-cut counterparts.What Venom and its sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, lacked in brutality and excess, they more than made up for with Eddie and his symbiote’s hijinks. Seeing the two argue endlessly while trying to protect the world from evil symbiotes wasn’t what some comic fans expected, but it was undeniably fun and refreshing.
