Venom - the symbiote with a taste for... well, people. Not only does Venom have a human host in Eddie Brock, but he chomps down on a few as well. Is that ACTUALLY good for him? You see, I think that Venom is being HURT by the humans he needs to survive! How? Let me show you!

The Film Theorist: "He's a parasite"


Venom: *Apologize!*

[DanteSolablood]

Actually Venom is a victim for another reason - in the comics it's revealed that *Deadpool* actually wore the Venom symbiot shortly before Spider-Man found it during Secret Wars.. Deadpool realised that his mind would warp/corrupt Venom & returned it to the machine where Spider-Man took it from, literally stating that he hoped his psyche didn't drive it nuts. Depending on how you treat the recent Secret Wars comics, canonically *Deadpool* could be the reason that Venom is evil(ish).

MatPat: venom is lost and scared

Venom: let’s bite all their heads off

If this man was my teacher, I would come to school even on weekends

Eddie: "What really made you change your mind?"
Venom: "You. You did, Eddie."

[TinfoilTuber]

This is also correct because as Venom says, they have to protect their host to live, and Venom had to constantly risk his life to keep Eddie alive, so that he could live.

“The movie sells the idea that venom is trying to corrupt Eddie Brock, but in the end, it might just be Eddie who ends up purifying Venom”

Wow, you were right on the dot with that one

[ianhall]

You had so much right. So much.

But a symbiote, by definition, isnt a parasite. It's a mutually beneficial relationship between the two organisms. The human gets strength, agility, speed, deadly 'natual' weapons (spawned from the body) while the symbiote gets a host to provide sustenance and a base skeleton to work from.

From a typical predator prey relationship, their partnership easily puts them on the top of a food chain.

"In the end, Eddie might just be the one who ends up purifying Venom" - quote from this theory
"What made you change?" "You. You did, Eddie." - quote from Venom movie

[FilmTheory]

To everyone who's upset that in the movie Venom himself says he's not a parasite, ask yourself this:
Would a parasite BE HONEST and SAY he's a parasite?
Just sayin'...

Venom’s species has to have a perfect host to be connected with for long periods of time. Eddie is one of those people for Venom specifically. Venom’s species can yes connect to anything but it can hurt them if they don’t find a compatible one they could die because of earth’s atmosphere and whatnot. They can’t survive on the planet so they’re forced to use humans as hosts even though it can hurt them big time

[bennettcarlson]

"the world has enough heroes " considering this movie takes place in a world were only the venoms exist I think the more accurate term would be the world literally has no heros

[Sadaaaaf]

This man could probably convince us all to believe kim Jong un is actually Dr.Phil

[leonardodelgado]

Venom:Jump?
*Eddie Gets in Elevator*
Venom:Pu**y

[wouldntyouliketoknowweathe]

Matpat is literely the coolest person out there

I mean this man could make me believe that I am not reall, just I don't understand those people who call him cringy or make fun of his theories just they are full proof and meet logic.


He just is awsome








But thats just a theory, a matpat theory

I know I'm late, don't yell at me.
Honestly 12:20 is more terrifying than some of my worst nightmares.

[notsae]

I remember reading somewhere that the reason Venom turned into a vilian was Peter rejecting him. Venom sort of loved Peter and was still in the process of bonding with him, the rejection confused and angered it while the broken bind messed with its head. This explains why Venom will so eagerly betray its hosts if it thinks Peter will take it back.

[someguyinamechsuit]

6:52 funny you mention Deadpool, I'm pretty sure there's an origin comic that says Deadpool was the first thing to fuse with Venom before it met Spider-Man which is why people who fused with Venom endure psychosis because Venom absorbed a little bit of Deadpool's insanity.

When you said something about an evil doppelganger, i instantly thought




Darkiplier???

[estebancollazo]
