And when he resorts to desperate measures to get the black suit off he doesn't really think about the consequences and make sure that the symbiote is contained or destroyed, he lets it escape In the original version it only *really* turns evil because of the trauma of separation

It's psychically drawn to Eddie Brock and picks him as its new host because Eddie, like the symbiote, is completely emotionally dominated by resentment of Peter Parker and a belief that Peter Parker has everything he wants and *he should be Peter Parker*

Which is just a delightful layer cake of psychological baggage

IIRC Spider-Man didn't know that the costume was a life form when he brought it to Earth, because that wasn't established in Secret Wars, but by later writers on Spidey's own titles. He didn't know he was introducing an alien into our biosphere, so I don't lay that one on him.

Yes, the problem is this story itself is inconsistent, but the retconned version that people now think of as "Venom's origin story" usually says that the symbiote gives you this megalomaniacal feeling of unlimited power from the beginning and this is problematic

I mean, Peter is, in theory, a scientist "Covering myself with this black goo makes me feel AWESOME" is the kind of thing he should theoretically ask more questions about before making it part of his lifestyle

"Hey welcome back to the Joe Rogan Experience Now this is another one of the things the FDA doesn't want you to hear, but a lot of my listeners asked me to try out bonding to one of these alien symbiotes from the planet Klymtar, and I gotta say I am seeing REMARKABLE gains"

It was also a lot less "gooey" initially, it acted more like The Flash's folded-up-in-a-ring-somehow suit or the Iron Man "Extremis" stuff and would slip on like a shadow or whatever. It was mostly supposed to be an excuse to make a costume that wasn't a pain in the ass to draw.

Like originally when he first gives it up, he immediately replaces it with an identical one that's just regular fabric because Black Cat made it for him and he's allowed 1 comprehensible decision out of 20.

I've somewhat lost track of how stupid the symbiotes have become since then - I think they're ALL hyper-intelligent now, and have a whole planet, and they're connected to the sword that the "God-Butcher" from the THOR books uses, which makes them older-than-ETERNALS old maybe?

Yes it actually is called the planet Klymtar, I didn't make that up

That’ll be a line in a future MCU film, just you wait.
