This line is going to be a part of *so* many insufferable jokes once 2021 rolls around.

I should note in the comics the symbiote was properly contained for a while by the fantastic four...but it escaped and tried bonding to Peter again...and then the bell tower happened. Most people know the cartoon version, which removed that part and added the mania.

Yeah the '90s cartoon is the version I imprinted on

Honestly I’ve always thought the best way to sum up Venom (at least the villain parts) is that he’s essentially Max Cady from Cape Fear wearing a Xenomorph

I'm honestly more interested in Eddie Brock than the symbiote, like I really like the portrait of Brock as this loser driven by his essential internal emptiness, this pathological and wildly unbalanced desire for attention and approval that gets all twisted up into monstrousness

As you say, this drives him to be a creepy obsessive stalker like in Cape Fear, but we get more of a picture of how pathetic Brock really is The whole sordid story of him being the Marvel Comics version of Stephen Glass, only actually leading to people dying

One of the deleted scenes from the Tom Hardy movie has him talk about how as a kid he would steal other kids' toys just so he could pretend to find them and be a hero Which is just a *perfect* characterization beat from the comics

Although Brock is def the type of guy I could see becoming a roid-raging gym rat, I think the one seriously underrated part of Spider-Man 3 was dorking him up and making him a more literal dark mirror of Parker.

Eddie Brock's original incarnation being a bemulletted meathead feels more like an artifact of early '90s superhero comics than something essential to his character. Like you said, his defining traits are being pathetic and refusing to take responsibility for his own life.

The Adi Shankar fan film is great because their lead actor (Ryan Kwanten) is an extremely good-looking fit guy who clearly trains hard and nevertheless whatever confidence and self-esteem this gives him is so paper-thin it's see-through

They play up the overt schlubbiness a lot with the Tom Hardy version of the character but I think what really makes that version is this sad-sack dopeyness to it all, like he has just enough self-awareness to go "Oh boy, classic me" before doing something classic him

Like yeah if you want him around for a whole movie you want him to be a *little* bit more than just the Topher Grace "Hey everyone punch this nerd" caricature

It really works because for a while, Hardy was that guy. He was in a depressive funk after the Star Trek one he was in bombed and thought his career was toast
