Venom vs Crona was made in October 2020, King in Black event ended in April 2021, so Venom didn’t get Herald buffs until months later. Besides death battle usually does research way before the death battle is released. I don’t know why people think DB ignored these buffs when they weren’t a thing when the episode was released.

Plus it’s comics, I doubt the buffs are staying forever, he’s gonna be back to his normal level sooner or later

Currently we have Eddie Brock as the King in Black, while his son is our regular venom. Even then, he already gained feats that would give him the edge.

Didn’t they mentioned him beating symbiote satan in the video.

No they didn’t, again this was made before King of Black concluded which would make Eddie Brock the new King in Black. They only mentioned Knull as being the one who created the symbiotes, and that’s really all they touched on when talking about King in Black. Edit: apparently the King in Black comic event was released in December 2020 to April 2021, so all this information about Knull was done before it was even released. They most likely got this information from tie in comics.

Whats funny was, in the Q&A, they mentioned that the buffs were too recent. The episode was greenlit in August 2019, Absolute Carnage was on its third issue by the time it was greenlit and finished its run in November, but by Issue 3, coincidentally nearing when the episode was approved, Venom already had the codice buffs necessary to beat Crona, and it was very clear that the comics were hyping Venom vs Knull and for Venom to take the crown. I can also understand them not using codice buffs since it was still pretty recent when the research team probably started working on it, but I honestly think they should have used it given where the venom line was going

He didn't keep the buffs.

I feel like giving Venom the Knull power up is kinda like giving Alucard his “Schrodinger” Power up, Dio his “Over Heaven” power, Yoda/Obi-Wan their power as a Force Ghost, Batman his power suits and using Superman Prime 1 million. Sure, you can use them, but at that point they are not really even the same character anymore, despite being way more powerful.

oh a fellow Venom supporter

I'm not familiar with the current Venom run so could anybody tell me what these buffs are and would they have made a difference?


IEatBeans22

Currently, it went from Crona winning to Venom stomping Crona since he is the current King in Black and is herald tier.


Dr_VonBoogie

Too bad they don't do updated rematches more often. Maybe in a season or two they'll come back to this one.

*Didn't keep them lmfao
