But really the contrast between the usual Venom origin vs the movie one is so hilarious like it basically amounts to “I let this symbiote bond with me bc we both want revenge on Spider-Man and then I fell in love with it and now we’re happily married” vs “This Fucking THING just hitched a ride on me and made everyone think I’m insane and then I fell in love with it and we’re fucking now I guess this is my life now” and they’re both fucking beautiful.
peter and wade are fighting side by side and when peter runs out of web fluid, he grabs a gun off wade’s belt and wade has this transcendent moment of i’m going to watch spiderman shoot my gun at a real live bad guy
but peter just fucking throws it at a bad guy’s face and knocks him out cold
The impact causes the gun to go off and shoot wade in the dick. Spider man spends the next several minutes frantically apologizing while cable laughs his ass off for the first time in years.
When Venom first saw Eddie, it was through Maria’s eyes.
Maria was homeless, and when you’re homeless most folks ignore you or treat you terribly. Some help out a bit and give you some change, but Eddie did so much more. He treated her like a person, a friend, and gave her much more then she asked for when she tried to sell him the free papers, even when he didn’t have much himself.
And when she saw him at the Life Foundation and cried for help, instead of backing away to hide, he risked getting caught and freed her.
Venom would have known all of this after a quick trip through Maria’s memories and would have seen how she saw Eddie, as a kind compassionate person.
So Venoms first impression of him would have been based on this, and since kindness isn’t much of a thing in symbiote society, there’s no doubt that Vemon was intrigued by this odd stupid human.
And 48 hours later, the symbiote was in love.
Are people shipping Venom and Eddie now? I mean, not against it but that’s pretty weird.
I wouldn’t call it weird. In the comics they are canonically ‘married’, in love, call each other ‘love’ and ‘darling’, have multiple children together and their most recent child in particular they tried very hard to nurture together and raise it up right, not to mention Eddie is constantly only wearing, at most, just his underwear while his symbiote covers him… They fucking.
Even in the movie, the symbiote is impressed by Eddie, so much so that it (spoilers) immediately goes back to him after he rejects it. Jamming its tongue down his throat was 10000% unnecessary because we were already shown multiple times it can infect a host through touch alone, even through their clothes. And when Eddie asks what made it change its mind, it tells him, ‘You.’ And then it fights a battle it admits is pretty frigging impossible for it win, in order to save Eddie’s entire planet (which includes Eddie) and nearly dies in the process and tells him goodbye. (me, sobbing). And when it comes back, they immediately set ground rules and it’s actually willing to adapt its entire nature (as much as possible) to coexist with Eddie. That’s love, babey.
If you think it’s weird, I feel sorry for you, fam, they’ve been in a romantic relationship for 20+ years already.
