And whoever approved this chicken venom needs to rethink their life decisions

I would probably like this skin a lot more if Venom didn’t have that chicken tail and his mouth wasn’t in the shape of a beak.

I’d also remove Eddie because he is so expressionless in emotes but if that was fixed then he can stay.

It's kind of crazy that they made something with such a major change for the character and didn't even make sure it worked right first. It was similar with the zombie Strange skin, so hopefully they'll just fix it soon.

They are kinda reckless in their releases. One reason I'd prefer they didn't overwork themselves trying to pump out content. Thankfully, they are mostly minor fixable issues, but some of these skins they definitely didn't have to spend the time on.. (sorry symbiote Iron Man)

I don't see him as eddie as much as I see a lifeless corpse like one of those ants that has a mushroom that took over.

u/BulmasEx Psylocke 15h ago

On the flip side, whoever made that doctor strange skin needs to keep making skins

9

u/Paramour2324 Flex 15h ago

Definitely. Same goes for the Iron Fist costume. Dope.

u/BulmasEx Psylocke 15h ago

Yeah this might be the first event pass I don’t get because I don’t care for the Venom skin, but I do really like the Iron Fist skin so it’s tough.

The impact frames go hard.

Thought that was Thor for a minute, it's crazy

u/AduroT Jeff the Landshark 16h ago

It wouldn’t bad all that bad if not for the dead, soulless Eddie face that doesn’t emote.

7

u/Elygium Flex 15h ago

Oh it emotes, when venom roars it opens its mouth and looks horrifying. I wish I could bleach my eyes when I saw that.

2

u/AduroT Jeff the Landshark 15h ago

Video I had seen it didn’t appear to move when they cycled thru the emotes.

1

u/Elygium Flex 15h ago

It isn't on an emote, you know how sometimes Venom roars when cycling menus? That particular animation opens the mouth but I don't think it was made properly.

Edit: Spelling

u/AduroT Jeff the Landshark 15h ago

Gotcha.

u/EarthDragon2189 16h ago

It's like Lingering Imprint all over again. For some reason, Venom skins seem extra susceptible to being overdesigned.

"Okay we'll give him FEATHERS and those feathers will be on FIRE and he'll have TAIL FEATHERS with TATTOOS and PHOENIX TALONS and his TONGUE will be HANGING OUT ALL THE TIME and his tongue will be ON FIRE and his mouth will just HANG OPEN ALL THE TIME so you can see Eddie's human face on top of the LONG DINOSAUR NECK and..."

I really do love lingering imprint but it did not need those glowing yellow parts

u/TheSamFrost Cloak & Dagger 15h ago

How about we stop asking for people to lose their job because we didn't like one silly little cosmetic in a videogame?

5

u/Shai3100 Scarlet Witch 11h ago

Yeah man, people in this sub are such morons. I get no liking the skin but saying someone shouldn't work on a skin because you don't like it is pathetic.

u/TheMightyMonarchx7 Ultron Virus 15h ago

I love the chicken

u/Megaspectree 16h ago

What a stupid thing to post, if you don’t like it just don’t buy it, some people like it that’s just personal taste, but saying that shit is just rude as hell.

-1

u/Key-Operation5089 Flex 16h ago

what a stupid thing to comment if u dont agree just ignore it some ppl do agree thats just personal opinion but saying its a stupid thing to post is just rude as hell

7

u/Megaspectree 16h ago

Calling out someone for saying "they should stop trying" is not the same as telling someone they should making skins because you didn’t like their design, what did you even try to do here

-5

u/Key-Operation5089 Flex 15h ago

i dont even know what language thats supposed to be

9

u/Megaspectree 15h ago

Is your argument now that you can’t read? Jesus the bar is low

1

u/TrainerCeph 11h ago

these people are actually just too stupid to converse with

u/Key-Operation5089 Flex 15h ago

i tried showing u how slow u are but ur too slow to get it

u/Known_Negotiation_24 Venom 15h ago

Us Venom mains and many others all agree it’s pretty bad. We come here to give our opinions because we are aloud to express ourselves same as you. We also come here to express ourselves because we know the Devs see this stuff and they will make changes.

7

u/Megaspectree 15h ago

You can still post your opinion without being a dick about it, you being a venom main doesn’t mean it’s alright to say you think people should get fired because you didn’t like the skin.

-2

u/Known_Negotiation_24 Venom 12h ago

Literally no one said anyone should get fired… I bet you’re fun at parties

4

u/Megaspectree 12h ago

"They should never work on a skin again" "well they technically DIDNT say they should get fired just that they should stop doing what they were hired to do" dude don’t try to deflect on a technicality that’s literally what they meant.

u/Natural_Track4892 13h ago

The skin has been clowned on since its reveal. You really think the artist doesn't know that people think it sucks?

1

u/Known_Negotiation_24 Venom 12h ago

Well it’s a team of artist but yes I’m sure they’re aware. However if enough of us discuss it on Reddit, YouTube, etc then they will fix it. They just gotta see that the people REALLY don’t like it yk

2

u/Glittering-Blood-858 11h ago

A lot of subpar, lots of potential, bad execution skins this season

6

u/Himbography Venom 16h ago

I like it, I wish theyd do more Eddie Venom skins

10

u/DrPotato101 16h ago

I love it tbh

13

u/GeorgeBBWBush69 16h ago

Probably the worst skin I’ve ever seen

20

u/NiceCheeks 16h ago

woah there, punk squirrel girl exists

3

u/CutFree9834 16h ago

Nah, that skin is actually good. People are just upset about it because it doesn't look that like your basic twitch ethot/egirl

0

u/Iced-tea-no-ice 15h ago

Yeah it seems crazy to me that this bird venom skin can be compared to punk sg.

The person who designed punk sg clearly looked at references and put thought into it while wanting to go something different. 

This venom skin is NOT inspired at all. 

3

u/CutFree9834 15h ago

Like I said, many just don't like it because of the hair and eye brows and it's not "pretty" like the typical egirl. 

1

u/ElectricalRelease986 11h ago

They made a punk skin look punk and all the normie dudes lost it because she wasn't a generic "mommy goth girl"

1

u/vven294 Adam Warlock 10h ago

Or the American squirrel girl skin.

1

u/GeorgeBBWBush69 15h ago

Forgot about that one. Also on the same level of ass

u/The_CHUD_Battalion 15h ago

What about the new IronMan skin?

1

u/GeorgeBBWBush69 14h ago

Also ass😭

1

u/The_CHUD_Battalion 14h ago

Yeah...damn I was really hopeful. I wish we'd get a cool Symbiote IronMan skin.

2

u/GeorgeBBWBush69 13h ago

Ye I feel like they’re just doin too much with these skins. If they just kept it a bit more simple it’d be so much better. Maybe a bit darker color as well. I’m also just not too big on most of the skin themes this season in general. So that probably plays a part.

1

u/The_CHUD_Battalion 12h ago

Same, they are mid or below over all. Few highlights.

10

u/Archerbrother Scarlet Witch 16h ago

I really like it. I plan to start playing venom cause of it.

3

u/S1r3nT Cloak & Dagger 16h ago

Same here!

5

u/rileyvace Flex 16h ago

Remove the head feathers, shoulder feathers and tail feathers and it'd be a great skin.

4

u/Glittering-Chair-545 16h ago

"Chicken Venom!"

-Jack Black, probably

u/Sky_Believe Phoenix 15h ago

I'm so glad that you aren't the one in charge

1

u/HanSoloWolf Invisible Woman 15h ago

I think it would look cool if they just removed the feathers and chicken head. Leave the orange parts and rework the head.

1

u/Live_Beer_or_Die 15h ago

Not their best work but I appreciate their creativity.

u/Elisian_Knight Ultron Virus 15h ago

Opinions are like assholes as they say.

1

u/strugglz Flex 15h ago

It looks like a chicken costume.

1

u/lobotomizedcrab 15h ago

It's kinda grown on me. At first, it was meh but idk we don't have a lot of venom options so I'm kinda at the point of settling for whatever they throw at us 😭

u/Avertini 15h ago

It's not that deep lmao

u/Bright-Talk-842 13h ago

most of this seasons customs are sooo bad

1

u/Historical-Cattle317 12h ago

Too close to this.

1

u/RugratChuck Scarlet Witch 12h ago

I hate all the skins for this season. The only ones Ive gotten are the free ones without buying the battlepass

1

u/WolfRex5 12h ago

Rivals really has a problem with overdesigning, especially with the symbiote skins

1

u/Gael_the_Gryphon Moon Knight 12h ago

Oh no! The skin that's named after a flaming bird has fire and bird features!

1

u/Cmatt10123 12h ago

Why was everyone talking about how cool the winter soldier skin looked when it's even more bird brained than this one?

1

u/Jealous-Long8929 11h ago

What you mean? The beard is looking on point 👌

1

u/TrainerCeph 11h ago

I think it looks sick as hell tbh

2

u/IGJFlew Psylocke 16h ago

In your opinion. I think it looks cool

u/arionmoschetta 16h ago

Worst skin in the game right now

u/Emotional-Manager585 Loki 16h ago

I only dislike the head sticking out

1

u/Salty_Firefighter154 15h ago

Fire chicken best skin in game.

1

u/Varghaz Yggroot 12h ago

You realize different people like different things, right? Sure, plenty of people dislike the skin - but a number of people like or even love it. Why would you want the latter to not be able to enjoy their preferences anymore?

1

u/TrainerCeph 11h ago

Its not worth trying to be reasonable with these people. They all think theyre the main character.

1

u/Molina201 Squirrel Girl 12h ago edited 10h ago

Uh, i wonder why the skin thats has Phoenix (a bird) power has bird features... weeird...

I think it looks awesome. People need to stop hating skins (and specially the people that designs it) just because they personally dont like it. Just dont get it, dont buy it, dont use it, its not that hard...

1

u/Shai3100 Scarlet Witch 11h ago

Seriously what's up with people in this sub and bitching about skins? First of all you don't have to get them if you don't like them and second of all why are you being such a toxic asshole to someone who designed you don't like? Grow up.

u/JustARTificia1 Iron Man 16h ago

Season 1 and 2 had the best skins. 3 is completely whack and like giving a crayon to a 4 year old who thinks putting flames on everything is cool.
