'''Venom symbiote:''' Eddie!\\

-->'''Venom symbiote:''' Outstanding! ''[cheerfully]'' Now, let's bite all their heads off and pile them up in the corner!\\

'''Venom symbiote:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Pile of bodies, pile of heads.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: While the symbiote is still a monstrous AxCrazy entity, it ultimately has its host’s best interests at heart. Indeed, compare its treatment of Eddie to how Riot uses its hosts. While Venom is coarse and violent, the symbiote protects Eddie from the beginning and allows him autonomy even though he could take over Eddie's body at any point. Riot, on the other hand, jumps from host to host, taking full control and using them until they're drained and die before he moves on to the next. This is a nod to the comics, where the Venom symbiote was an outcast among its kind because it wanted to form a bond with its hosts that benefited both parties when their species is usually purely parasitic.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Compared to its last appearance on the silver screen at least. The Film/SpiderManTrilogy incarnation of the symbiote portrays it as a mindless instinct-driven creature, [[TruerToTheText but this one is quite clearly an intelligent being like in the comics.]]

* BigGood: Of the film, though it is definitely [[GoodIsNotNice not the nicest example of this trope.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Venom symbiote, despite its violent nature and initially only using Eddie to bring its kind to Earth, starts to genuinely care about Eddie and Anne as well; admitting that it came to consider their planet to be beautiful and that the humans have things that its kind doesn't -- such as love and compassion. [[spoiler:Therefore, it decides to live on and protect the Earth; and one of the reasons it decides to stop Riot from bringing more of their kind to their planet is because Eddie and Anne will die along with most of the humans, and it cannot live in a world without the two people that it cares about and loves as well.]]

While it's unclear if symbiotes even have genders, the symbiote's interests in Eddie come across as sort of intimate. [[spoiler:It's especially worth noting that the kiss that put the Symbiote back in Eddie's body was Venom's idea, and not Anne's.]]

* HumanityIsInfectious: Downplayed. While the symbiote doesn't come to overly like humanity, it does grow to appreciate them and Earth [[spoiler:enough to not let Riot destroy it. Also, it comes to genuinely like Eddie and Anne.]]

--> '''Venom:''' Eyes, lungs, pancreas... So many snacks, so little time!

--> '''Venom:''' ''[to a robber]'' We will eat both your arms and then both of your legs and then we will eat your face right off your head, [[FauxAffablyEvil do you understand?]] You will be this armless, legless, faceless ''thing'', won’t you? Rolling down the street like a turd in the wind.

* AbledInTheAdaptation: He does not have cancer like his comic book counterpart, though he wonders if the symbiote is a brain tumor-induced hallucination, though [[spoiler:it should be noted to be "at the time" as ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' later retconned that Eddie never had cancer when he first bonded to the Venom symbiote, the cancer he did get was the symbiote screwing with his body chemistry, and his belief that he did have it at first was the symbiote gaslighting Eddie into staying with it.]]

* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. His comic book counterpart is very buff and has a broad build (where Venom was originally depicted getting his large, monstrous appearance from), but this version has a more average build (if on the large side of average).
* AdaptationalHeroism: Prior to obtaining the Venom symbiote, Eddie lightly chides his girlfriend for working for an evil person and tries to bring up the allegations about Carlton Drake performing life-threatening experiments on vulnerable people during an interview. After obtaining the symbiote, he explicitly forbids it from hurting innocents. While his comics depiction does share his movie counterpart's desire to protect innocent people, he indulged in a few unethical practices, was by his own admission not a particularly nice person, and -- DependingOnTheWriter -- Venom's villainy was all Eddie's fault as his rage corrupted the organism. Here, Eddie manages to be a positive influence on Venom.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Owing to the movie [[PragmaticAdaptation omitting his toxically obsessive hatred of Spider-Man]], which is not needed here since Spidey is AdaptedOut, Eddie reacts radically differently to his fall from grace compared to the comics. In the source material, Eddie by his own admission wasn't all that kind even before his life went to crap (even keeping a serial killer's identity hidden for a while to write sensationalist articles as opposed to this movie's IntrepidReporter) and afterwards became first suicidal, then borderline psychotic as he gleefully embraced the Venom symbiote. This version instead looks at the whole ordeal with a sardonic, self-depreciating sense of humor, coming off more as EndearinglyDorky and even a NiceGuy at times, and spends a solid chunk of the movie being weirded out by the Venom symbiote. The movie also doesn't make any overt references to his Catholic beliefs, which in the comics were a major aspect of his character.
** His eagerness to build a repute as a reporter and help those who can't help themselves, however, remain, and by the end of the movie, his relationship with the Venom symbiote more closely reflects that of the comics.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Tom Hardy's [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent attempt at an American accent]] means Eddie has a tendency to slur, mumble, and drag out his words. He comes off sounding a little slow. He does spend most of the film's early half drunk and later struggling to adapt to the Venom symbiote's effect on his biology, though.

* BadassInDistress: Due to the [[spoiler:Venom symbiote being much weaker than Riot, Venom and Eddie get absorbed by Riot easily]].
* BettyAndVeronica: Since Venom is a ShipperOnDeck for Eddie and Anne, Anne is the Archie and he the Veronica: a now anti-hero fused with a violent symbiote, against the mentally sound and honorable surgeon Dan (Betty). Though Eddie is happy for Anne and seemingly doesn't want to win her back.

* BrutalHonesty: The first trailer establishes him as someone who doesn't hold his opinions back, which according to Anne got him fired from his job at New York's ''Daily Globe''. In an interesting way, it's used to establish him as a good person, as he bluntly challenges the BigBad Carlton Drake, making it clear that he knows Drake is performing life threatening experiments. More humorously, he outright says to Dora Skirth -- the Life Foundation employee who's following him -- that she sucks at being discreet.

* DistressedDude: Is constantly being saved by Venom or Anne [[spoiler:or both at the same time]], but it is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as it cleanly establishes just how majorly out of his depth Eddie is. By the final act, Eddie grows out of it as he and Venom are more in tune with each other and learn how to work together.

* {{Foil}}: To Carlton Drake. Drake is a billionaire who is fully invested in the big picture of humanity's future, Eddie is upper-middle class and then moves to lower class after he and Anne break up, is very much in the moment and uses his fame in reporting to bring the plights of everyday people (i.e. the homeless, or political protestors) to light. Eddie's reputation and relations all go down the toilet when he tries to expose Drake's inhumane practices where Drake's fame only grows as he continues. Even their relationships with their symbiotes are opposite. Venom at first uses Eddie as a ride and keeps him around because they match perfectly, however, Venom still takes care of him and grows to genuinely care for his host to the point that he [[spoiler:preforms a HeroicSacrifice to save Eddie from an explosion]]. On the other hand, Riot is implied to be using Drake in order to get access to Drake's [[spoiler:rocket ship]].

* GirlyScream: Eddie's voice jumps several octaves, alongside his testicles, when the Venom symbiote [[JumpScare startles]] him for the first time as he's staring at his own reflection.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Although he does have a few friends such as Mrs. Chen and Maria, Eddie's being hunted down by the police and Drake's mercenaries because he's Venom symbiote's host.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Riot stabs Eddie with a blade, leaving him to die. However, Venom re-bonds with him, saving his life.]]

* KnightTemplar: Eddie demands that if the Venom symbiote is going to hurt anyone, it should at least only hurt bad people.

** The "Eddie Brock Report" montage near the beginning of the film establishes that he focuses on stories that involve the plight against the homeless in San Francisco. He's on good terms with the homeless woman Maria and gives her $20 despite struggling to find work, then tries to rescue her when he finds out Maria's being experimented on.

** His kindness is strong enough that it manages to convince the Venom symbiote, [[spoiler:who came to Earth for the express purpose of invading and killing all humans]], to turn against [[spoiler:Riot]] and live semi-peacefully on Earth, only harming bad people who deserve it.
* NoodleIncident: Eddie lost his job at the prestigious Daily Globe newsroom and was effectively run out of New York due to an unspecified incident -- a reference to his comic book counterpart's Sin-Eater case.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: You can hear Creator/TomHardy's English accent break through his narration at times, specifically on "own" and "issues". It slips even further in the full trailer, with lines "the guy you work for is an evil person" just coming out as a weird mishmash... [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent thing]].
* PermaStubble: Contrasting his comic book counterpart who was almost always clean-shaven.

* ThrowingOutTheScript: The incident that cost Eddie his job as a reporter was that he was supposed to interview Drake about the Life Foundation's new space probe... but instead threw the script out the window and started grilling him about allegations that the Life Foundations was conducting unethical experiments. Going by Anne's mention of the "''Daily Globe'' incident", Eddie has a history of doing such things and getting into trouble for them.

* AchillesHeel: Like in the comics, the Venom symbiote is specifically vulnerable to fire and sound (specifically, frequencies in the 4-6 kilohertz range).
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Compared to its last appearance on the silver screen at least. The Film/SpiderManTrilogy incarnation is portrayed as a mindless instinct-driven creature, [[TruerToTheText but this version is quite clearly an intelligent being like in the comics]].
-->'''Eddie''': Wh-what is that?
-->'''Venom''': Not what; ''who''!
* AdaptationalVillainy: TruerToTheText aspects aside, this version is far more malicious and controlling than it originally was in the comics. In Venom's original appearance, it was heavily implied ([[FlipFlopOfGod and occasionally confirmed]] DependingOnTheWriter) that the symbiote was turned into an insane monster in part due to Eddie's intense hatred for Spider-Man, something that would bite Eddie in the ass when it tries to turn him into a KnightTemplar when he's genuinely trying to protect innocent people. Current comics also portray the Venom symbiote as having a pet-like loyalty towards Eddie, while the film begins with Venom merely using Eddie as a way to escape the Life Foundation and proceed with Riot's plan. The trailers even making it out like Venom is the corrupting influence on Eddie, [[EnemyWithin rather than the other way around]]. However, in the film proper, it's eventually [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] as Venom undergoes CharacterDevelopment and comes to truly care for Eddie and its more noble nature is uncovered.

* AdaptationNameChange: Its comic book counterpart actually doesn't have a name and is only referred to as the Venom symbiote due to its bond with Eddie, with "Venom" being the name of their shared form. This version is actually ''named'' Venom.
* AdaptedOut: Venom's giant white spider-symbol that serves as a twisted counterpart to ComicBook/SpiderMan's is nowhere to be seen here, which makes sense considering that this version of the character has no vendetta with -- or relation to -- Peter Parker. Venom also lacks Spidey's web powers, using his arms and tendril instead to get from place to place.

* BadassBaritone: The Venom symbiote's deep voice is a stark contrast with the weaselly voice of the [[Film/SpiderMan3 previous version]].

* BigGood: Of the film, though it is definitely [[GoodIsNotNice not this trope's nicest example]].
* BioArmor: When fully manifested, Venom covers Eddie's body in its biomass and manifests a fanged maw, huge white eyes, and a long prehensile tongue.

* BloodKnight: The Venom symbiote greatly enjoys combat and bloodshed, and has a sadistic sense of humor to boot.

* CodeName: Codenamed SYM-A01 by the Life Foundation.
* CombatPragmatist: When it is unable to overpower or defeat Riot in a straight-up fight, Venom opts for using one of Riot's own blades to destroy the ship Riot is on, incinerating Riot in the process.
* CombatTentacles: The Venom symbiote sprouts tentacles from Eddie's body to attack the [=PMCs=] that the Life Foundation sends to capture Eddie, and also uses them to return him to his motorcycle when Eddie falls off during a jump.

* DarkIsNotEvil: While still a monstrous AxCrazy entity, Venom ultimately has its host’s best interests at heart. Indeed, compare its treatment of Eddie to Riot's hosts. While coarse and violent, Venom protects Eddie from the beginning and allows him autonomy even though it could take over Eddie's body at any point. Riot, on the other hand, jumps from host to host, taking full control and using them until they're drained and die before moving on to the next. It also genuinely cares about Eddie and loves him as well. This is a nod to the comics, where the Venom symbiote was an outcast among its kind because it wanted to form a bond with its hosts that benefited both parties when their species is usually purely parasitic.
* DeadpanSnarker: The Venom symbiote is equally as chatty and sarcastic as Spider-Man and Deadpool.
* DisneyDeath: At the end of the movie, the Venom symbiote [[spoiler:seemingly sacrifices itself to save Eddie from the fires of Carlton's exploding rocket, but ends up surviving with no repercussions]].

* EatingTheEnemy: The Venom symbiote's go-to solution for dealing with enemies is eating them, quipping that it's "fuel in the tank".

* EnemyWithin: The Venom symbiote serves as one for Eddie in the film's second act, influencing him into lashing out at several restaurant patrons who try to keep him from stealing their food, and growling at Dr. Lewis. It uses its tendrils to slam him around and pin him to a wall when Eddie insults it by calling it a parasite, threatens him unless he helps it accomplish its mission, and is revealed to have been consuming him from the inside-out.
* GoodIsNotNice: While the Venom symbiote may serve as the closest thing to an AntiHero, expect it to be vulgar, rude, and violent towards those [[TooDumbToLive stupid enough to get on its bad side]]. It also has a voracious appetite for flesh.
* GrewASpine: It's implied that if it weren't for Eddie's memories, Venom would never dream of [[spoiler:defying Riot, its much more powerful superior]].
* GutturalGrowler: The Venom symbiote has a deep, gravelly voice that is further distorted by a low growl.

* HomoeroticSubtext: While it's unclear if symbiotes even have genders, Venom's interests in Eddie come across as sort of intimate. [[spoiler:It's especially worth noting that the kiss that put Venom back in Eddie's body was Venom's idea, and not Anne's.]]

* HumanityIsInfectious: {{Downplayed}}. While it doesn't come to overly like humanity, Venom does grow to appreciate them and Earth [[spoiler:enough to not let Riot destroy it. Also, it comes to genuinely like Eddie and Anne]].

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Venom symbiote tentacles form into a shield to protect an untransformed Eddie from bullets, and then forms one during its fight with riot to protect it from the [[EpicFlail giant flail]] Riot had generated.

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: The Venom symbiote is jet-black and covered in white vein-like markings in the movie, eschewing its comic book counterpart's occasional [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack blue highlights]] and large white spider symbols.

* NominalHero: It helps Eddie fight the antagonists, but it's mostly protecting its host to ensure its own survival, as he's a good match for it and if he dies with the Venom symbiote inside him, it dies too. It does eventually realize that Earth does not deserve to [[spoiler:be invaded and destroyed by Riot and the rest of its kind]] but even then, it's more swayed by Eddie's kindness and morals then by an innate sense of right and wrong. That said, Eddie does make progress in teaching it the difference between good people and bad people by the end of the movie.

* OffWithHisHead: The Venom symbiote's preferred method of eating people, if it doesn't just stop at the neck that is.
* OverlyLongTongue: Venom's tongue is long and prehensile, looking more like a pink tentacle.

* PossessionBurnout: Both [[PlayedStraight played straight]] and [[AvertedTrope averted]]. The Venom symbiote kills its initial host Maria before jumping to Eddie. While Eddie finds out that Venom has started to eat his organs, it claims that it can fix the damage. At the end of the movie, the two are bonded without issue but it mentions to Eddie that it's hungry and they need to eat or Eddie's liver will start to look tasty -- though it's unclear whether it was joking or not. The implication is that a symbiote will only feed on the host it matches if there is no other food source available. It may also be that Venom needs to eat raw living food as Venom seemed to prefer living creatures and that a symbiote that seemed to bond perfectly with another host was still eating him from the inside despite the host being fed intravenously, although given that the guy wasn't talking and didn't seem to be communicating with his symbiote implied that is was a close but not perfect match.

* RantInducingSlight: In the tie-in comic, the Venom symbiote furiously berates Eddie for calling it a parasite and for wondering if it's a brain tumor-induced hallucination; snarling that on its homeworld he'd be eaten alive for such remarks. In the film itself, it takes a great deal of offence whenever anyone calls it a parasite.

* ShapeshifterBaggage: The Venom symbiote on its own has about a gallon's worth of total volume, so it disappearing inside a human body is already unreasonable. However, the fully manifested Venom is a towering brute about twice the size of its host, heavy enough to crush cars, capable of devouring another grown man whole in a matter of seconds before retreating back into its host without a trace. It's never brought up where all that biomass comes from or goes during the transformations.

* ToServeMan: The Venom symbiote frequently threatens to eat criminals and anyone else who annoys it, and actually does so.

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Despite saying that it is weak to fire and being caught in the explosion of Drake's rocket, Venom survives it all and is still bonded with Eddie. The assumption is that it was only injured by the explosion, and rested and recovered within Eddie.]]

* LoserProtagonist: The first film starts with him losing his job and any public respect he had after totally botching his interview with Drake, quickly followed by his fiancé leaving him for a breach of trust and everyone other employer blacklisting him. He then lives in his filth in an unemployed malaise for a while. It's implied that he was considering suicide before the Venom symbiote found him.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: {{Inverted}}. Eddie isn't shown to have an abusive father, dead mother and sister, cancer, and he takes his firing with [[SelfDeprecation sad humor]] instead of suicidal despair and rage. [[spoiler:It should also be noted that ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' retconned that Eddie never had a sister, didn't have cancer at first, and when he did get cancer, it was due to the symbiote screwing with his body chemistry.]]

* AttentionWhore: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', it goes off on its own to a disco party, and it absolutely enjoys being the center of attention as the crowd eats it up, gift it with free neck rings and drinks and cheers it for his "costume", which it [[SureLetsGoWithThat says it made it itself]].

* BettyAndVeronica: Since Venom is a ShipperOnDeck for Eddie and Anne, Anne is the Archie and him the Veronica: a now anti-hero fused with a violent symbiote, against the mentally sound and honorable surgeon Dan (Betty). Though Eddie is happy for Anne and seemingly doesn't want to win her back.

* BerserkButton: PARASITE?!

* BerserkButton: Being called a parasite by pretty much anybody. Given that it actually takes care of its host while Riot disposes of several once they're drained, it's fairly understandable.

* AttentionWhore: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', he goes off on his own to a disco party, and he absolutely enjoys being the center of attention as the crowd eats him up, gift him with free neck rings and drinks and cheers him for his "costume", which he [[SureLetsGoWithThat says he made it himself]].

* BerserkButton: Being called a parasite by pretty much anybody. Given that he actually takes care of his host while Riot disposes of several once they're drained, it's fairly understandable.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He has to be taught the concepts of 'good' and 'evil' from Eddie, and even then he isn't particularly good at discerning the difference without Eddie telling him which way to go.

* IJustWantToBeFree: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', he feels cooped and locked up inside Eddie's apartment room all the time. They have a fallout about this and Venom spends most of the movie [[spoiler: without Eddie]].

* ImmuneToBullets: Bullets are little more than an annoyance to it. If anything, Venom is much more irritated by the sounds of guns popping off rather than guns firing bullets at him.

* {{Manchild}}: He's prone to throwing tantrums (his preferred way is swinging around Eddie or smacking him [[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe Howard style]]) and whining like a child. It only gets worse in ''Let There Be Carnage'' deciding to go his own way from Eddie and giving a speech at a disco costume party deriding Eddie much like a runaway teenager deriding his parents. Annie even tells Venom to quit "being a big baby" at one point.

* MythologyGag: His appearance, mostly in the face and build, evokes his ''VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows'' appearance. The lack of the spider symbol also evokes the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' designs. In addition, its TaintedVeins make it resemble Poison from ''What If? Spider-Man The Other'' to an extent.

* SlasherSmile: Its default expression when fully possessing Eddie. At one point, he actually frowns, but he has so many teeth that he barely brings his whole mouth down.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: The symbiote often takes over Eddie when he transforms into Venom, such as when it devours the would-be bodega robber. However, it's up in the air how "evil" the symbiote was when he first came to Earth, while at first he was motivated by his purpose of [[spoiler:invasion]] that quickly flies out the window thanks to Eddie's influence. By the end of the film, it drops the 'evil' part entirely.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Venom keeps slipping into a deep British accent but at times you'd swear he was speaking in an American one.

* AttentionWhore: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', he goes off on his own to a costume dance party, and he absolutely enjoys being the center of attention as the crowd eats him up and cheers him for his "costume", which he [[SureLetsGoWithThat says he made it himself]].

* ImmuneToBullets: Bullets are little more than an annoyance to it. If anything, Venom is much more irritated by the sounds of guns popping off rather than guns firing bullets at him.
* IToldYouSo: Tells Eddie when he sees for himself what kind of shit Riot packs.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's very demanding and violent, but even from the beginning Venom works to keep its hosts alive while most of its kind use up their hosts and leave them for dead. By the end of the film, its care for Eddie and Anne, as well as Eddie's PositiveFriendInfluence, make it decide to save Earth from Riot and remain on the planet in relative peace.
* WeakToFire: It mentions to Eddie and Anne that it has a weakness to fire and [[spoiler:is nearly killed in an explosion near the end, though recovers with time]].

* TruerToTheText: Zigzagged. The backstory and design references to Spider-Man are omitted, but everything else is played straight, such as the look of Venom here compared to the ''Film/SpiderMan3'' version. The symbiote also acts more like a viscous liquid as opposed to a sticky, string-like creature and the head forms by first forming teeth around Eddie's head and going over it like it's eating him; he has a larger, more monstrous appearance, as well as the long tongue and tons of sharp teeth; and Venom uses plural terms to refer to himself. The tie-in comic also establishes it as being an alien from the planet Klyntar.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Despite saying that it is weak to fire and being caught in the explosion of Drake's rocket, Venom survives it all and is still bonded with Eddie. The assumption is that in was only injured by the explosion, and rested and recovered within Eddie.]]

* KillItWithFire: It mentions to Eddie and Anne that it has a weakness to fire and [[spoiler:is nearly killed in an explosion near the end, though recovers with time]].

* WeaksauceWeakness: The tie-in comic reveals that the symbiote is vulnerable to and afraid of fire (which Venom also tells Eddie during the film). The flashbang grenades the SWAT team throws at it also cause it severe discomfort.

* AntiHero: It kills, but it kills those who are doing worse or are going to do worse than anything it could do. In no way is it a complete hero, but it also isn’t a complete villain either.

* AntiHero: He kills, but he kills those who are doing worse or are going to do worse than anything he could do. In no way is he a complete hero, but he also isn’t a complete villain either.
