Venom 3 - The Last Ride v1.21

Bad Movies Made Less Bad Presents:
Less cheese, less cringe, less exposition.

Main Changes

1. Show, don't tell whenever possible

2. Give the audience more respect and remove some of the obvious foreshadowing

3. Minimize Krull to make him more mysterious and hopefully give him a more intimidating impression than what we got.

4. Remove Dr. Paine's backstory and eventual symbiote merge. Instead, lets just focus on her "science over safety" ethos.

5. Mulligan's narrative that he "lost the symbiote that was created by Carnage at the end of the last movie and was given a new one at the Imperium Program" is removed. Instead, the original symbiote from Venom 2 is the one Mulligan still has.

Changes:
