1. @Aqu- yeah, but even before that, Dylan was depicted as older than Normie.

2. Oh, I forgot: I really hope this “mysterious new villain” for Miles isn’t something like his daughter\sister from the future, because that would be a trite plot point.

3. “Madelyne: … You have a point.” <– Wells when he read online what his editor should have told him: i.e. this plot is kinda stupid.

   @Michael
   Didn't Dylan spent a year or so on another Earth during the Venom Beyond arc by Cates? I don't think the same time had passed on Earth-616, so that may have closed the age gap with Normie, if not even inverted it.
   Still, here it's just a comment by Ms. Marvel on how Normie sounds childish, which could as well be determined by his multiple trauma. I mean, I don't expect him to be exactly balanced, so maybe he displays immature behaviour not suitable for his age.
   As for Bedlam, I don't know, I'm still at issue 11.

4. Also, it’s weird that Kamala thinks that Normie is too young to be a superhero but Dylan isn’t since it’s logically impossible for Dylan to be older than Normie but Dylan is often depicted as older than Normie. Peter mentions Normie in the sequence where he drives the symbiote away with the church bells, then Eddie bonds with the symbiote in the church, then Dylan is conceived. So Dylan HAS to be younger than Normie but he’s often depicted as older. I think the fan consensus is Dylan ages quicker because he’s part alien.

5. Interesting how Ben notes that “time is getting weird around us”. I wonder if that’s how Ben is going to get his memories back.
   Speaking of memories, am I the only person that noticed that Bedlam was an amnesiac, angry and confused Eddie in Venom 14 (which Ewing wrote), an Eddie with all his memories and an evil personality in Venom 15 (which Ram V wrote) and an now seems to be an amnesiac, angry and confused Eddie again in the preview pages for Venom 16 (which Ewing wrote)?
