The inner struggle between venom and brock as they try to reconcile their own differences, and their individual outlook on life combined with their external struggle with chocolate, love life and the rest including carnage, is a great way to build character development. Because we understand their inner struggle and desires we know how much harder it is on them in the external world and the plot.

The way that we go through the inner narative of brock and venom, in parallel to developing Cletus's romantic relationship to Shreik and his symbiotic relationship to carnage, is a great way to show parallel script writing and use of cinematic editing to develop the converging Anti-hero's journey to battle his Son and nemesis.

The father son relationship between carnage and venom, and the toxicity that is made of all the characters with incompatible relationships, is a great way to build up the tension throughout the film before the final battle and convergence of all conflicts from the parallel stories.

Venom is struggling to be compatible with his symbiotic host brock, as is Cletus and Carnage. Venom is struggling with his ex as she is about to marry someone else and he still hs feelings for her. And Cletus is forcfully kept away from his one love as he desperately want to break himself and her free from the shackles of the government. All these toxic relationships and the final battle at the end of this film gives the viewer a satisfying ending. Not to mention the excitingly news in the post credit scene.

This film deserves 5 stars for its parallel story structure and great character development along with cinematic cross editing between unfolding character plots that ultimately converge for an final epic battle.
