I’m not sure what to make of this. On one hand, didn’t the bozos who are running the marketing see the reaction to Marvel’s She-Hulk? Recall the super-cringe twerking scene featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Tatiana Maslany. Yeah, there will be no season two for She-Hulk.
Megan Thee Stallion also happens to be getting sued by her former cameraman for alleged sexual harassment and fat-shaming. Among the claims is that the dude says he was trapped in an SUV while Megan Thee Stallion was having sex with one of three woman.
The She-Hulk show looks worse than a video game. And cringier. And they put CGI twerking in it. pic.twitter.com/Ew2K653nga

On the other hand, I suppose we’re supposed to take this as being fun. The promo features Venom on a video call with Megan Thee Stallion where the two stick out their tongue at each other.
“That’s why me and you, symbiotic,” Stallion says, with Venom replying, “You’re the only one that understands me.”
Stallion replies, “I’ll see you soon,” as Venom 3 gets released next week. Watch below.
I’ll say I thought the marketing was pretty cool leading up to this, and the reveal about Knull goes a long way in creating excitement for the movie, but this comes off as super cringe just like the Megan Thee Stallion twerking scene in She-Hulk. How’d that work out?
Venom: The Last Dance opens Oct. 25 directed by Kelly Marcel and stars Tom Hardy.
