If there’s anything that we as a people can agree upon, it’s that Venom was an absurd movie. The absurdity came to a point where many filmgoers viewed Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff more like a romantic comedy, a notion that is taken both as a joke and somewhat seriously, depending on who you ask. In response, we got this.
With title cards and music that feel more like something from a Love, Actually sequel, this ad shows that Sony is pretty hip to the Venom memes that have circulated since then. At the same time, cynical me thinks that this ad is a little too wink-wink-nudge-nudge.
