* Eddie really did love Anne, back when they were engaged. But despite that, he let pride and impulsiveness blind him when opportunity to expose Drake reared its head, at the price of ruining Anne's career as well. When Anne [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out]] on what he did, again, he's too proud to apologize for 'doing the right thing', and she ends their engagement in a broken-heartbeat.
* Eddie's whole life after getting fired. While he's better off than his comic counterpart (who had cancer and was planning to kill himself), the montage of his repeated and failed attempts to find new employment can hit home for anyone struggling to find work. What's worse is that, unlike his comic counterpart who partly deserved his downfall by writing sensationalist articles about a fake serial killer, this Eddie was honestly trying to expose a genuinely unethical corporation and paid dearly for it.
** In one scene, Eddie is so blinded with depression and anger that he vents this all out to Dora Skirth, blaming Drake over all of it. If Eddie didn't snap out of it, later on, he would've gained an obsession with the bastard the same way as he traditionally does with Spider-Man.

* At the end of the movie, Eddie refuses to make a move on Annie though he still has feelings for her. Why? Because Dan pretty much saved his life by getting him to a hospital and running tests on him. He can't break the man's trust for going the extra mile.

* The Venom Symbiote admits to Eddie that back on its home world it is seen as loser like him which shows that Venom though violent and aggressive is an outcast and after seeing Earth to be more of its planet than its kind’s own home planet decides to help Eddie save the Earth, it is also possible that Venom is an outcast because it wants to let its hosts to be in control than taking them over which is probably one of the reasons that it wants to save Earth so that it does not have to go through that ever again.

** Another of Drake's victims is Maria, Eddie's homeless friend. The moment Eddie recognizes her in the cell, he immediately tries to free her even though he was told not to touch anything. She doesn't make it out alive.]]

* The Venom symbiote's [[spoiler:self-sacrifice for the sake of Eddie's life. Granted, it turned out to be a DisneyDeath, but hot damn was it still powerful!]]

* The homeless man getting killed by Carlton Drake's symbiotes. Not to mention all of his other victims who fell for the whole trap -- [[spoiler: especially his [[BadBoss callous murder of Dr. Skirth]].]]
** Poor [[spoiler: Dr. Skirth's death is especially heart-breaking when you consider she had two children, and it's implied they're the world to her. So not only does she lose her life, her kids also lose their mother.]]

* The car ride to the hospital [[spoiler:after [[CurbStompBattle the SWAT incident.]] ''"And you feel sad, do you not, Eddie? When you are with her?"'']] Eddie puts on a neutral face, but between him and Venom, there are no secrets. Poor Eddie can't even tune him out. ''"Get out of my head, man,"'' he says in a quiet, miserable, defeated rasp. Talk about [[TragicHero needing a hug]].
