I just realized that this is the first time Eddie referred to him and Venom as "we" and Venom even said "we?" after since it caught him off guard, and I think that's when he knew that Eddie was his perfect host
Was thinking about how everyone in Eddie's life assumed that him and Venom were a couple, and then I realized:
Dan assumes that Venom and Eddie are a couple ("man those two needs some serious couple's counseling"), and most of the info he gets from Venom and Eddie is from Anne.
Anne was Venom's temporary host, and when he was in Anne, the first thing that he wanted to do when he saw Eddie again was kiss him. Anne even admits that it was Venom's idea. Also, she had access to all Venom's emotions (symbiosis and all of that), so she probably felt Venom's love for Eddie.
Venom went inside of Mrs. Chen temporarily, and from Mrs. Chen's perspective; Eddie's weird parasite comes in without him and is heartbroken. Okay, she'll care for him. But like Anne, bcuz of symbiosis, she is able to feel Venom's emotions and also felt how heartbroken Venom was and how much he cared for/loved Eddie.
Also, that scene in Let There Be Carnage where Venom was inside Dan for like two seconds. Same thing with Mrs. Chen and Anne: felt Venom's emotions and realized how much he cared for/loved Eddie.
Girl, literally EVERYONE here has fused with Venom, and they ALL came to the conclusion that the Pathetic, Sad, Sweaty Man and the Alien Parasite are in love. I find that so weirdly sweet
Analyzing the Symbrock kiss bcuz I've lost all sense of shame
Thinkin about that scene in 2018 Venom where Venom saved Eddie in the Forest. Imma refer to Venom as she/it in this post because they're agender, I wanna show that more, and I think that they just take on the gender and pronouns of whatever gender their host is. But please note that appearance doesnt always equal gender, and im just reffering to this rn because i like agender Venomm. Anyways!
The way she snuck in using her tentacles to kill the guys one by one. Venom was literally so excited to save her dumbass human. Look at the way it tosses the guy like a ragdoll. Look at her stance. Look at the confidence. Look at the way she looks down at Eddie. Look at the way it licks its lips. The way she's grinning more than usual and says, "Hi, Eddie." Bro is LOVING this.
We all know Venom is actually a really sappy romantic. I KNOW bro was excited for this rescue romance and how happy she was that she got to be the "knight in shining armor."
AND IT WORKED.
Look at Eddie's face when he realized that Venom was coming to save him. Pure happiness. Pure excitement. Pure, "my boyfriend's back and you're gonna get in trouble." Pure, "lmao, yall are FUCKED"
NOT TO MENTION HIS OTHER REACTION
Sadly, I can't put the clip because of tumblers "one video per post" rule. But yall remeber his little, "woahhh," right? Pure awe? Also, the fact that he was clearly into it. He saw Venom eat a guy's head and immediately after is just like "😮👉👈."He was literally just-
And of course, the kiss that made dudebros do mental backflips to explain away.
Venom's still super excited. Look at how happy it is to pick Eddie up! Look at its tongue waving in the air! Also, another thing to note is that this is the first time Venom closes its eyes. In the first two movies, Venom never blinks or closes its eyes at all. But, the first time she closed her eyes was to express emotion when kissing Eddie.
This is as much as I'm going to in the gif show bcuz as much as I love the scene, I also kind of found it gross (I kept imagining the spit everywhere and it looked like Eddie was eating Anne when we saw her and the liquidy noises grossed me out) but still. Look at Venom's face.
I actually think this is the first and only time as of now that we saw Venom look so peaceful. Eddie is Venom's home, and it feels safe with him. It could've bonded with him any other way, but she chose to bond with Eddie by shoving her tongue down his throat because she wanted to. And also, probably to complete the, "we make out under the Moonlight after I rescue you," thing because again, Venom is a giant romantic sap.
Also, she literally wrapped her tentacles around him his neck and shoulders. While you could argue that it was just symbiosis through skin contact, like we've seen before in the movie, I still find it very sweet.
Oh, yeah, Eddie's reaction. Eddie had absolutely no idea that Anne was the host. Even when she appeared, his eyes were closed so he couldn't tell. All he knew was that his not alien bf that he thought was killing him came to his rescue, picked him up, and started French kissing him. And he just went, "yeah okay." Didn't even try to fight back. Didn't pull away from the kiss, in fact, even leaning into it, all while moaning.
Another thing: while the host can communicate with the symbiote, the Symbiote cannot conteol their own body, so all of this was Venom. Anne even admits later in the movie that the kiss was Venom's idea. And in a deleted scene, Anne says that the kiss was "mostly her," but Venom pipes up and yells, "Well actually it was mostly me!" While cut content shouldn't be considered canon, I find it funny that Venom wanted Eddie to know that the kiss was his idea. Yes, his ass is weirdly flirting with Eddie, lol. (He/him cuz at that point, his host was Eddie).
No you don't understand. When Carlton Drake first called him and Riot a "we," Riot just accepted it. They're a we now. Not much to it.
But Venom lingered on it. He even repeated it to make sure. And right after, he started being more helpful to Eddie and being more understanding. He's more friendly and more open, admitting that he was also a loser on his planet. And, he's more affectionate (*insert tongue going down Eddie's throat*, "what made you change your mind?" "You, you did Eddie.")
Drake was just Riot's host, while Eddie and Venom are now each other's.
