There was a lot of controversy regarding the movie: Venom, with many parents citing it as not appropriate for children. The movie was given a PG-13 Rating. However, this post is merely about toys, and children play with all kinds of toys that will offend someone; soldiers, cops and robbers, even Moms and Dads! If you're looking for a Venom toy purely because your kid loves Marvel, then in my view, that isn't inappropriate; it is a toy figure.
