00:06when you look at both the comics and the MCU there's this one concept that kind of stands
00:11out as something that almost wasn't supposed to exist at all and that's anti-venom it's one of
00:18those strange creations that feels like it breaks the usual rules because it isn't just another
00:23symbiote it's something different something that came out of very specific circumstances
00:27and now there's a growing idea that this version of the symbiote might actually show up in spider-man
00:34brand new day a lot of people already have theories about how that could happen but it probably isn't
00:39going to be as simple as just introducing venom the same way sony did before if marvel has shown
00:45anything it's that they don't usually take the most obvious path even though that's sometimes what
00:50fans expected first the big idea here is that instead of bringing in a full version of venom
00:57like the one played by tom hardy the mcu might go in a different direction the theory is that the
01:03leftover piece of the symbiote the one that eddie brock unintentionally left behind could evolve into
01:08anti-venom instead and that change could happen when it bonds with someone new and the most likely
01:14person for that is peter parker himself played by tom holland it sounds complicated at first because it
01:21mixes a bunch of different comic elements together but when you really think about it it actually fits the
01:26kind of storytelling marvel likes to do so it's worth breaking everything down because there are a
01:32bunch of clues that point toward this possibility at first a lot of people didn't believe the symbiote
01:38would even show up in spider-man brand new day when the trailer dropped there were small hints that
01:43made fans think venom could be involved but it didn't feel convincing right away it seemed more likely
01:49that marvel would hold off on something that big but after watching the trailer multiple times and after
01:55hearing more discussions and leaks online it starts to feel like the symbiote really could play a role
02:00in the story not necessarily in the way people expect though because it might not be a full venom
02:06appearance instead it could be the beginning of something that leads to anti-venom one of the biggest
02:12reasons for this idea comes from how things were set up before the post-credit scenes from venom let there
02:18be carnage and spider-man no way home didn't just exist for no reason they clearly showed that a piece
02:25of the symbiote was left behind in the mcu and that's not something marvel usually ignores if they
02:31went through the effort of connecting those universes it wouldn't make much sense to just drop that
02:36storyline completely so it feels like they're building towards something even though they haven't revealed
02:42exactly what yet another important reason is simply what fans have been asking for tom holland himself
02:49has talked about how he looked through fan reactions and opinions after the trailer came out and he paid
02:55attention to what people actually wanted to see in the next spider-man movie and when you think about it
03:00one of the biggest requests has always been seeing spider-man interact with the symbiote people have been
03:06waiting for that ever since it was teased because it's such a major part of spider-man's story in the
03:11comics so even though there are other popular ideas like spider gwen or miles morales the symbiote
03:18storyline is still right at the top for a lot of fans at the same time the movie doesn't seem
03:24to be
03:24going for a huge multiverse spectacle like the last one everything about brand new day suggests a more
03:30grounded approach even though it still connects to bigger ideas in the background and that's where
03:36anti-venom becomes interesting because it allows marvel to do something new while still using the symbiote
03:42concept instead of repeating the same venom story again they can twist it into something different
03:48something that fits better with a more personal and grounded narrative to understand why this works
03:54it helps to look at how anti-venom was created in the comics unlike most symbiotes which have their own
04:01personalities and influence their hosts in different ways anti-venom is a bit more unusual
04:07it doesn't behave like a typical symbiote and that mostly comes from its origin eddie brock after
04:14losing the venom symbiote ends up trying to rebuild his life he's dealing with serious problems including
04:20cancer which becomes a key part of the story even though it wasn't always part of his character earlier
04:26on during this time eddie starts working at a place called feast a shelter that helps people in need
04:33this is where he meets martin lee who is secretly mr negative publicly martin lee is seen as a kind
04:40and generous person but he has a darker side with powers that are essentially the opposite of his normal
04:46self and those powers are what lead to the creation of anti-venom because when martin lee uses his abilities
04:52to heal eddie's cancer something unexpected happens the traces of the venom symbiote that were still
04:59inside eddie react to that energy and instead of disappearing they transform into something new
05:05that's how anti-venom is born not as a separate alien creature but as a kind of mutated version of
05:11the symbiote that already existed and because of that it behaves differently it doesn't really have the
05:17same kind of personality or voice that venom does and it acts more like a force with a specific purpose
05:24that purpose is healing which sounds like a good thing at first anti-venom can cure diseases remove
05:31toxins and even fix certain conditions that other characters can't but the problem is that it doesn't
05:37always understand what actually needs to be fixed for example when it comes to spider-man anti-venom
05:44sees his radioactive blood as something harmful even though it's actually what gives him his powers
05:49so it tries to heal him which ends up putting peter in danger instead of helping him this idea of
05:56a
05:56character who thinks they're doing the right thing but ends up causing harm is what makes anti-venom
06:01so interesting it isn't really a villain in the traditional sense but it also isn't exactly a hero
06:07it's somewhere in between driven by a kind of logic that doesn't always match reality
06:13and that's something marvel could use really well in a movie especially if they want a story that
06:18feels more grounded and character focused now if you bring this back to spider-man brand new day
06:24there's a theory that the movie could combine multiple comic storylines into one the trailer
06:30already hints at peter going through some kind of physical or emotional change possibly connected to
06:36his powers there are even moments where his suit or eyes appear darker which could suggest something
06:42is affecting him at a deeper level so if marvel wanted to explain that they could introduce the
06:47symbiote as a temporary solution in this version of the story peter might turn to someone like bruce
06:53banner for help because he's one of the few people who understands what it's like to deal with a
06:58transformation that's hard to control and if banner tries to use the symbiote as a way to stabilize
07:04peter's condition it could lead to peter bonding with it that would give us a version of spider-man
07:10with the symbiote even though it wouldn't be the traditional venom storyline but then things could
07:16take another turn if mr negative is introduced which has been rumored his powers could interact
07:22with the symbiote in a similar way to the comics that interaction could transform the symbiote into
07:28anti-venom creating a completely new version of the character within the mcu so instead of eddie brock
07:34becoming anti-venom it could be peter himself or at least someone closely connected to him even though
07:41this might sound like a lot to fit into one movie it actually lines up with marvel's approach
07:46from royal high-level dcu and mcu breakdowns to the quieter rumors that don't always make headlines
07:53but often turn out to be true we cover it all keep your eyes right here because if you truly
