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.

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

(This Venom fan film is really awesome, although the fact that it's a Venom fan film is supposed to be a twist https://vimeo.com/79697570 )

It's honestly even better if you encounter it unspoiled and you think it's just a movie about a day in the life of a sleazy paparazzo

(It's a pastiche of the Belgian black comedy film Man Bites Dog, about a serial killer with a documentary film crew following him around on a typical day of serial killing Shankar said it was his dream since film school to do an homage to this film with an actual supervillain)

(The joke with him meeting Bullseye is a direct reference to the famous scene in Man Bites Dog where the serial killer runs into another serial killer who is also making a documentary)

Which could probably be traced back to the Looney Tunes “scram sherlock, I’m working this side of the street” bit
