ANOTHER unemtioned symbrock moment: The symbiote protecting/Favoring Eddie Brock from Mac gargan even whilst in their breakup arc and preventing them from killing him when Mac is paired with the symbiote beacuse it still loves him!
Basically this panel is after Eddie decides to auction it off because of the symbiote somewhat manifesting his cancer into reality in order too stay with him, so then it eventually pairs with Mac ((the scorpion)) and joins his whole crucade and basically is on some sort of mission-the lore is hard too explain as it spans out many comics! Eddie is this frail because he is still in recovery of his cancer treatment, and is trying too repent his past sins he committed with the symbiote by feeding homeless shelters and so on so he really has no reason in that period too continue bodybuilding. Mac: who is obviously more than frustrated over the symbiote's desire to abandon him and return to Brock causes him immense jealousy and frustration.And so he's trying to end him as a way for it too stop distracting the two from carrying out chaos and bond easier, Also The fact Gargan refers too Eddie as the symbiotes ex in the lower panel is so funny to me because it's kind of phrased like he's the other man 😭
Of course this doesn't work because there is NO WAY that the symbiote would ever let itself be responsible for hurting the one it loves the most intentionally. But it and brock eventually have their payback when reunited again in #150,where Eddie uppercuts him and the symbiote like assaults him Inside the suit ((this also continues too that one panel everyone knows where they hold hands and the symbiote tells him it won't let anyone hurt him))
But what I wanted too prove here is that the comics clearly make it VERY obvious that Eddie brock is VERY loved by the symbiote in all different kinds of ways: Romantically, Favorably, respectively and needingly!
