Venom’s Redemption Arc Should Have Ended With Lethal Protector
Occasionally, I ponder over redemption arcs that seem to stretch beyond believability. Take the case of Eddie Brock’s Venom, for instance – a character who was once a menace, now claimed to be a pillar of the community. It’s hard not to question if such a transformation is genuine. I mean, when one has committed wrongs as heinous as Venom did, breaking free from that past seems almost insurmountable. Maybe his redemption arc went a bit too far into the realm of ‘goodness’, making it difficult for me as a fan to fully trust in his transformation. A more convincing and satisfying turn for him might have been right after the events of the original Venom: Lethal Protector series, where the struggle between good and evil still felt tangible.
