#but there are actually REASONS it seems OOC

[oroontheheels]

Unblock me Donnie Cates, because I can’t believe I’m praising him again??

Venom 3 really changes a person. But not for good reasons.

Again - SPOILERS for Venom 3.

They really did dropped the ball. Whole movie Eddie acts so cold and angry and distant.

There’s like 0 warmth or care from him toward Venom.

Suck ass generally but I think the problem is that writers/producers were Inspired by Donnie Cates comics. But they forgot that in Donnie comics Venom and Eddie had HUGE fight. For a (horrible retcon but still) very legit reason. And that actually explained well why Eddie was distant.

People said that there was deleted scene from Venom 3 where Eddie and Venom had a fight about sudden reveal of Knull and codex.

They should’ve keep it in the movie. Would’ve solved a huge chunk of this movie problem.

Without it Eddie just seems cold and uncaring for no reason and it feels very OOC.

I think the key here is that Agatha survived (as she was supposed to) and Billy actually died. Thus Billy was meant to go with Rio while Agatha was not. Since Billy jumped into another body instead of going to the afterlife, he essentially broke the cycle of life and dead. That's what Rio is angry about, not the act of surviving. I do think that line could have been written better (and yes, please stop using that word mcu), but I don't think it's entirely ooc for Rio to pursue Billy for this. For the same reason, she doesn't want him to bring back Tommy. If Billy and Tommy just start jumping into another body every time they die, they would essentially live forever, which they're not supposed to. Also, I think Rio should've been equally pissed about Thanos just snapping half of everyone and everything away, which broke the same rule.

@catlady48 I waited to read this interview with Jac to answer your comments.

She specifically says they developed Rio as neutral the way nature is. And that Rio has no real control over circumstances of somebody's demise. We also know she can't kill people and that she needs for Billy to turn himself in. She can't take Tommy as well. Because technically neither Billy nor Tommy are dead. Otherwise there wouldn't be an issue for Rio to take them. They just don't have bodies because their physical bodies depended on the existence of the Hex. The Hex is gone and Billy can jump into the closest dead body because of his magical abilities. Tommy can't and needs his help. So they survive. If Rio is like nature why would she care that they found a way to keep living? Many other creatures find ways to survive in weird and more terrifying ways. It's how nature is.

Jac says she did research theories about time for ep 7. Which I think it's one of the reasons that makes ep 7 fantastic. Because it not only matches the mcu world building about the workings of time and free will from Loki series, but also it's close to actual scientific theories. According to this world building in mcu free will exists, nothing is set to stone and people keep making new branches of time aka universes by their different decisions. Therefore "this person is supposed to die at this time" doesn't match the world building. In Nicky's case Rio can offer time because Nicky was ill. Some fatal illnesses can be delayed but can't be healed so it makes sense with the world building.

Moreover taking Agatha instead of Billy doesn't really fix the Billy-can-reincarnate-if-he-is-killed problem. So if Billy should have died why take someone else? This is a plothole that bothers me.

I agree about her being angry with what Thanos did. Because the dusted people didn't die, they ceased to exist. Since no one actually came back from afterlife. But erasing Death from that plotline is Russo's fault.

There were issues with these last episodes. Billy was a bit inconsistent with his characterisation in episode 5/6 and I thought the way they wrote out Jen was really messy. And the way they wrapped it up was also questionable. Also, the Agatha and Rio dynamic seems to be inconsistent as well and that actually bugged me more about Rio's characterisation than the balance thing. No idea what happened with these episodes, but it is a drop in quality in my opinion. Then again, this is the mcu, expectations are low.

I didn't find issues with these but I agree that there was a drop in quality. And I think it's mainly because they didn't take time to show us more of Agatha's background and her relationship with Rio. We should have seen more of her backstory before and after Rio. We should have seen why she thought her only way to survive was killing witches. We should have seen what her love and life was like with Rio and before Nicky. That way their final fight would have been more emotionally charged rather than feeling anticlimactic. Because we would have known the depth of their hurt and pain and what they have lost. And the pov change from Agatha to Billy happened too soon. We should have seen that fight.

Imo Agatha, as the protagonist, has the messiest most unsatisfying arc and there are still so many questions about her went unanswered that should have been explored in a series focusing on her. I wish they'd spent more time on her and showed us what they had talked about for writing her story, instead of keep telling us those details in interviews like how Rio and Agatha have so much history. Show, don't tell rule etc.

"He is an abomination. He is disrupting the sAcRAd balance."

This is the line I have a lot of issues with in regard to the portrayal of Rio. Rio is the original green witch, which makes her also Death. She was meant to symbolize the duality of life and death and their inseparable connection. The constant cycle of birth, growth, death in nature. Maiden, mother, crone. The mother nature.

And nature, has no balance. Let alone a "sacred" one(honestly if I hear the word one more time in mcu I'm gonna scream). In fact chaos is the most natural state of nature and evolution, and the flow of life, is about nothing but survival.

Now the story of course can make up its own rules and world building. It doesn't have to be factually correct. But they developed Rio as a force of nature. Not evil, not kind and motherly. A reality that exists and can be both and neither.

As a character she understands that Agatha's coven and her mother considering her evil and a monster of nature is wrong. If only they teached her instead of shunning her things would turn out differently. She understands that Agatha trying to survive her execution is not evil, it's just her trying to survive.

She fell in love with a survivor. Why she's calling Billy an abomination for the same thing? And Billy hasn't kill anyone to survive. He just jumped in an already dead body.

So this line is directly in contrast with her characterization. I understand that they wanted to up the stakes for Billy to get Agatha sacrificing herself for him. But I don't like the way they went about it because it's inconsistent with what they established from the start.

“A seven foot psychotic woman in a leather mask is scarier than me.”

“This is necessary because you blew the mission…that was months of planning, work, and sweat that you chose to give up.”

“Yes. I know what you did. It was good work…Don’t think I take you for granted. I don’t. But this fight can’t be won if we pull punches.”

The outsiders watch Grace and boomerang torture a man for information. Anissa asked why they broke interrogation protocol and dick tells her they haven’t and that it is necessary because Anissa broke cover. Anissa snaps that it was her work then asks if dick has any idea of what she had to do to get as far as she did. Dick says he does know and that she did good work. That he isn’t taking her for granted but that they need to consider the big picture (Outsiders Vol.3 #35)

I really do enjoy seeing everyone on my dash, and I would love to talk with them... Is it bad that talking to new people scares me?

[concoctionboy]

Why is your body somewhat discolored

I mean... I guess it's just because I'm made of different ingredients, and not... evenly mixed? So parts of me have more of some ingredients than others.

Anyway, for whatever reason, when I form into a humanoid shape, usually I end up with a purple left arm and a blue right leg. I guess it's possible if I consciously focused on it, maybe I could move my stuff around and change the location of the discolorations, or even... distribute them more evenly so I'm more uniformly colored, but I've never really tried.

Oh. it just clicked why so many newer vivisection fics (including ones that happen offscreen) bother me. it's because they always happen post-reveal, where Maddie & Jack know that it's Danny & are doing it anyways (out of character). older ones (like. the ones that got the trend going) always had the reveal happen either during the vivisection for max angst or after if the author leaned more towards a chaptered fic with character & emotional development (all in character). Hm
