Looks like it's going to be fun.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Marvel when Feige saw this. This is the guy that wouldn't even let Blade be rated R and is forced to watch Sony do this with Marvel's second most valuable Spidey property.

Well the first Venom was PG-13. This was a green band trailer.
We don't know if the version released will be rated R. We are assuming/hoping it will be so. But until it's happened, Sony doesn't get to sit back on a wicker-chair and rest on the arms and smirk to Feige, "Your move, Disney".
Like I said if you want to do a R-Rated take on Carnage, the movie's gotta look like EVENT HORIZON at the low end. That was a pretty frightening and disturbing horror film with horrible violence and gore.
Carnage owing to its connection to Spider-Man even in comics hardly ever gets to go full ultra-violent. Artists over the years have done scary stuff with the Symbiotes even in the pages of ASM that's true but there's always a limit, and even outside of Spider-Man being all-ages, Marvel Comics even in its most MAX entries never gets as violent as Garth Ennis' CROSSED or Avatar Press.
This looks awesome, as long as the action is brutal and intense (and the symbiote fight is not limited to the very end like in the first film). I definitely hope that it is rated R and does Carnage justice.
Oh, and there appears to be a Spider-Man cameo at 1:28.
"I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."
this looks terrible, perfect
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
The amount of comedy in trailer and the tone of Venom talking I highly doubt the movie is Rated R and if even it was rated R it doubt they are going ultra violent. Venom 1 did good because the widest possible audience could see it, I think Sony is trying to do the same thing again.
It is does not makes sense not to launch with red band trailer, Being R would be the biggest selling point and the whole campaign would be center around it. Why in world would it launch with trailer with a 10 second food gag joke for a brutal violent movie. Why try to attract all ages for a movie they can't watch?
I believe Avi Arad said it explicitly that the Venoms aren't going to be rated-R.
Honestly, this trailer doesn't scream rated-R at all.
My only issue is that Spider-man 3 still has the most interesting costume design for Venom and frankly while not appearing in the film has Carnage beat as well. Like not even a bit of black across the mouth?
Otherwise I'm expecting it to be as good as the last one.

For anyone that needs to know why OMD is awful please search the internet for Linkara' s video's specifically his One more day review or his One more day Analysis.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
New trailer. Personally, I think that they nailed Carnage:
"I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."
I just hope this movie is a boatload of fun tbh. If it's that, that will be all that matters to me personally.
