Spider-Man 2: 7 Ways Having a Venom Symbiote in Your Brain is Good, Actually

There was one Russian scientist who accidentally got to experience the inside of a running particle accelerator. In 1978 Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski was doing maintenance when the accelerator turned itself back on and shot a particle through his head. He survived the experience and has suffered occasional seizures since. Still alive too at 81 years old.

In the comics, Spiderman's punch is already super deadly, he just pulls all his punches to avoid killing people. When he swapped bodies with Doc Ock, and Dock Ock punched somebody in the face, he punched his jaw completely off (without any symbiote or anything), causing Doc Ock to realize that Spiderman could've killed him at any time previously, but that he's always pulling his punches. So if he's punching harder with the symbiote, then that means the symbiote is causing him to not pull his punches as much... Which makes perfect sense, really. The game looks fun... It'll be a while until I have a PS5, but I'll likely play this in a few years when I can.

I don't know what's worse (and funnier): Ellen warning Luke not to promote having an alien symbiote in people's brains, or that this is the * second * time she had to warn him? Hmm...

As a scientist, I can absolutely vouch for the general desire to climb into a particle accelerator

People always forget...that the darker impulse is from Peter himself, not the symbiote, it's just amplifying his anger. The anger is all Peter's, never from anyone else.

With great power comes great badassery

Well I'm sold. All hail our new best friend, Symbiote Spidey!

With great power comes really nice graphics

"With great power comes great utility bills"

Luke: What are you hoping to get out of the new Spider-Man game? Me: I hope a lump of probably evil alien goo takes up residence in my human body.

lol, love that bit from Ellen at the end, keeping us safe from Luke's reign of alien symbiotes once again. so is spiderman's new catchphrase going to be symbiote now

He can catch a car. Spider man always holds back in fights

Remember: It's a Venom Symbiote and not a Poison Symbiote. People keep mixing those up...

Okay, got it. "Spider-Man 2" is actually "Prototype 3." Good to know.

Hard disagree on Pete not being able to give a strong punch. Dude has to hold back unless he's fighting someone like the Hulk, and that's something that comes up very often

The comics show many times that Symbiotes aren’t always evil monsters and can be good

That's all well and good, but what I really wanna know is if Harry knows that Peter is Spider-Man or not? We can see Harry talking to Peter over the phone during some of the gameplay, and we see that they are seemingly working together to defeat all of Kraven's Hunters. So does Harry know that it's Peter, or no???

I feel like this review was written by a symbiote. Luke blink twice if a symbiote has possessed you

You know Peter could probably survive inside a particle accelerator without the symbiote due to his radiation resistance

This is why you should go with the symbiotes that aren't aliens but are instead made from Spider-Man's blood. Ignore the fact that one of those symbiotes took over the whole city at one point
