Avengers: The Symbiote War

Avengers: The Symbiote War is a Direct-to-Video animated film series based on Marvel Comics and inspired by the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It serves as a sequel to Avengers: Chronicles of the Infinity with elements of the 2018 Venom film. The film follows the Avengers (now officially joined by Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel) and the Guardians of the Galaxy resuming their crime-fighting activities while they deal with the new threat of Symbiotes, which had been salvaged and experimented on by Dr. Carlton Drake and his crew from Life Foundation following Thanos' defeat. At the same time, Peter Parker and Kamala are entrusted by their mentors to look after journalist Eddie Brock, who was infected and bonded with a fugitive Symbiote which grants him superpowers as long as they share the same body.

Plot
One year before the Guardians of the Galaxy first banded together, Thanos had once invaded the planet Klyntar and experimented on Symbiotes, liquid-like alien parasites which can possess and control host bodies of other organic lifeforms, with the purpose to turn them into living weapons for his goal to eliminate half of the universe. However, when the organisms proved too wild and dangerous to control and one of Thanos' experiments with the Symbiotes turns one of them into the tyrannical Alpha known as "Riot", Thanos found no choice but to destroy Klyntar, though one of his lieutenants secretly took one of the planet's meteors containing Riot and four more Symbiotes.

Shortly after the Avengers' victory against Thanos, a group of Damage Control salvagers working for Life Foundation explored and salvaged a series of items within one of Thanos' destroyed Q-Ships. From the ships, they had also encountered the meteor containing the Symbiotes. Following orders from their director Dr. Carlton Drake, the Life Foundation scientists begun to perform unlawful experiments on homeless citizens and prison convicts. Among those humans, journalist Eddie Brock, who was interviewing some scientists, was possessed by a Symbiote which had escaped the facility and, after a brief havoc, forcibly went in hiding.

In Present Day, the Avengers (consisting of Tony Stark / Iron Man, Steve Rogers / Captain America, Thor, Bruce Banner / Hulk, Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow and Clint Barton / Hawkeye) and the Guardians of the Galaxy (Peter Quill / Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Mantis, Drax and Groot) raid a Hydra facility in Edinburgh commanded by Ophelia Sarkissian / Madame Hydra, who has been experimenting on inmates of New York's Central Prison (including Adrian Toomes) using new weapons made of Thanos' technology. After the Hydra agents are defeated, Sarkissian ends up possessed by a symbiote (which one of the Hydra agents stole from a Life Foundation sector) and battles the heroes, who (with help from Toomes) destroy the organism and apprehend Sarkissian and Toomes is pardoned his accusations, though Rogers, Quill and Gamora express a new concern of a new threat which comes by.

Three days later, Peter Parker and Kamala Khan participate a Homecoming party at Midtown High and meet new student Miles Morales and Toomes' daughter Liz (who had moved back to New York with her mother after hearing news that her father was pardoned) until the school is attacked by Rieg Davan, a paranoid alien gladiator who had escaped the Sanctuary II and is obsessively bent to destroy anything about music on Earth. On their guises of Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel respectively, Parker and Kamala defeat Davan before the Avengers and the Guardians arrive to apprehend him and Parker senses something dangerous at the moment he spots a silent and timid Brock close by and Nick Fury suggests Parker to keep Brock in check.

Stark, Danvers, Quill and Gamora search for and explore Thanos' now abandoned but still active ship the Sanctuary II and encounter Taneleer Tivan the Collector, who has been left stranded in the ship after Thanos' death. The group also find more footage of Tivan having sent the Terrigen Meteor with the Aether concealed in it (the activity which was responsible for Kamala's Inhuman transformation and her bond with Parker, which resulted in the destruction of the Infinity Gauntlet). To their displeasure, it is revealed that the Aether was not the only thing which was concealed in the meteor; they soon discover that a Symbiote (just like the one which bonded to Sarkissian) had also been concealed and accidentally sent to Earth. Assuming that Parker and Kamala are in grave danger, Stark and Danvers search for them.

Following their suspicions about Brock, Parker and Kamala follow him to a warehouse, where Brock pleads for theirs and the Avengers' assistance with his condition, but just as the young couple agree to help, the Symbiote suddenly takes control of Brock, transforming him into the monstrous "Venom" and forces him to fight back. Stark, Danvers and Quill arrive to help fight Venom and defeat him. Brock consequently gains some control over the Symbiote when his girlfriend Anne Weying arrives. Brock is held at the Avengers' custody so that Scott Lang and Banner can find the resources to help him gain control over the Symbiote.

Reluctantly deducing that the Soul Stone could be what they need, Gamora, Kamala and Danvers travel to Volmir, where Peggy Carter, keeper of the Soul Stone, informs them that the stone can only be retrieved by sacrificing a mortal of a irredeemable soul. Kamala consequently elects the burglar who killed Parker's uncle Ben and, after bringing him in, they sacrifice him by throwing him off the mountain to his death, earning the stone. Meanwhile, Parker encounters Morales and discovers that he was bitten by a prototype lab spider which was experimented on by Dr. Drake's executives in Midtown High and given with his own spider powers. After training him, Parker guides Morales to the Avengers Facility, where Stark provides Morales his own Spider-Man suit.

Still bent to apprehend Brock, Drake demands to unleash the Symbiote-possessed subjects to find him and retrieve his Symbiote, ignoring the others' warnings that they are still not fully under control. One of the subjects, Cletus Kasady (who was possessed by a red-shaped offspring of the original Symbiote and dubbed himself "Carnage") subsequently escapes and begins to wreak havoc in the Life Foundation facility, releasing the other possessed convicts, who go for a rampage.

As the Avengers and the Guardians battle the Symbiote mutants, Parker and Morales manage to get the evidences of Drake's crimes, but not before Drake fuses himself with Riot and uncontrollably becomes part of the rampage. Fused with the Soul Stone, Brock gains full control of the Symbiote (which then agrees to help protect the Earth from its own kind) and uses it help the Avengers battle the Symbiotes. All possessed convicts are stripped off their Symbiotes thanks to a nano-tech antidote Lang and Banner developed using Vibranium particles provided by T'Challa. However, only Drake remains and he and Brock engage into a vicious fight in their respective Symbiote forms which takes place in a nearby rocket. Brock distracts Drake long enough for Parker and Stark to activate the rocket, which takes off with Venom and Riot in it. Drake is stripped off Riot by the rocket's afterburners and rendered unconscious, but Brock is apparently killed when the rocket explodes.

In the aftermath of the battle, Life Foundation is discontinued and disbanded as Drake, exposed for his crimes by Parker, is arrested in the Raft, where the inmates proceed to get their revenge on him. Weying mourns for Brock's apparent demise as she is comforted by Kamala and Danvers as Morales is welcomed to the Avengers as Kid Arachnid while under Parker's supervision. Meanwhile, Brock (who had survived the explosion thanks to a Space Stone prototype he collected in the Avengers Facility) watches a sunrise on another planet, as the Venom Symbiote is still alive in him.

Cultural References
Much like in the previous film and the original Marvel Cinematic Universe films, there are also several pop culture references and "Easter Eggs" (most of them being from Walt Disney productions and franchises).
 * While speaking about previous events and helping organize the Homecoming party at Midtown High, Kamala and Betty Brant are shown checking a box full of items based on popular films and video game franchises.
 * Two balls resemble the Pixar ball (first seen in the short film Luxo Jr.) and a Bob-omb from the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

Songs
Still like in the prequel, the film includes a small track of licensed songs which are heard in the background.
 * "Free Ride" by The Edgar Winter Group: Played at the moment Aaron Davis uses a remote-controlled truck to help Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel defeat Rieg Davan. The song starts when Davan is hit by the truck, which is used as a bait for Davan to destroy it when he listens to the song, but only to be tricked into being blasted by the Chitauri grenades implanted inside it.
 * "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" by Culture Club: Played on Taneleer Tivan's Walkman at the moment Tony Stark, Carol Danvers, Peter Quill and Gamora find him in the Sanctuary II.
 * "" by Rick Astley: Played at the moment Peter Quill and Miles Morales manage to defeat Cletus Kasady / Carnage by sticking two loudspeakers in Kasady's Symbiote body and playing the song, to which a berserk Rieg Davan (who is present in the same room Quill and Morales are) ends up believing Kasady was playing any songs with him and proceeds to viciously attack him. It is played again in the Post-Credit scene, when Carlton Drake accidentally plays a song in the cell's radio, causing Davan to beat him up (off-screen).

Sequel
The film is also followed by a sequel entitled Inhumans Unleashed. In the film, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy work to solve more secrets surrounding the origins of the Inhumans while they help the Royal Family of Attilan in saving their kingdom from a war started by Ronan the Accuser's Kree successor Hala, who longs to bring about universal order by obtaining an cosmic artifact which only the Inhumans can wield.
