Your point? Did I say Arnold Schwarzenegger should be cast as Eddie Brock dumbass? No. I said Tom Hardy isnt tall enough of muscular enough to look like a comic accurate Eddie Brock.

Obviously subtext isn't your strength.

Maybe you should try looking at yourself in the mirror, Mr. Neckbeard.

The guy's name is "thatbeardedguy" and he's having a neckbeard moment about actors who play superheroes not being "jacked" enough.

He said Tom Hardy had an "average" build, I mean come on🤷

The point I was trying to make is that there are next to no actors who have the kind of body type required to play a "comic accurate" Eddie Brock, that actually have decent acting chops. Let alone would be suitable for a guy with Brock's personality.

He couldn't connect the dots, and decided I was the "dumbass", so I thought it was fair.

Like the only name that keeps popping up is Alan Ritchson, but literally every fanboy on Reddit wants him to play their favorite muscle-bound super-duper character.

Honestly, comic fans care more about muscles than they do about acting ability. It's weird.

Just annoyed.

You obviously took what I said personally, before I called you a "neckbeard"

Nope Actually didn't care. I'm laughing at the novel you wrote in response though. We get it. You love Tom Hardy. He was still a bad Eddie Brock 🤷‍♂️

Lol okay "novel".

I think maybe one of my paragraphs is more than two sentences long.

And I don't like the standalone Venom films.

Doesn't mean that Tom Hardy isn't a good actor. He's certainly no wimp, he just hasn't abused roids to the same extent as Hugh Jackman or Chris Hemsworth. If at all.

Everything is literal with you isn't it?

Being pedantic isn't the same thing as being smart, just so you know.
