Finally caught up on the first half of the 2nd season and I enjoyed it. Lots of fun villains show up, lots of Superior setup, the Eddie Venom episodes were enjoyably creepy and Eddie has really terrible motivations which they poke at how flimsy they are (I skipped the Venom episode last season and watching these justified that skippage because Venom existing before with other hosts hardly is even brought up haha). Already gets points over Ultimate for me just for including Eddie, those episodes were so much more interesting to me than the early Venom episodes from Ultimate.
.
Eddie's story isn't one that can be effectively condensed, so I never expect a fitting origin when he shows up to become Venom in 1-2 episodes. I was completely underwhelmed by this one-note version, but at least Eddie was present this time. I'm still not over Ultimate making Harry the host for both Venom and Anti-Venom. What was Bendis thinking?
