random rant

I like symbiotes to have personality, but I think there's a fine line between making a symbiote have personality, making its interactions and stays with a host fun or otherwise unsatisfying, giving it chemistry between the two characters, and making the symbiotes want to be a unique person, separate from a host. Kind of like how Carnage wants to become a god.

I guess there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a unique person. But I think it falls outside of what it means to be a symbiote.

Symbiotes were created to be something like a bio-weapon, used by a host to gain strength, just as the symbiote takes advantage of having a body in which to exist and feed.

And while I agree with the inclination that even though symbiotes naturally enhance their host's powers, it doesn't mean they have to be used as mindless objects, and that they can still speak for themselves and express the desire to prefer being with someone who treats them as a living being rather than a weapon. This doesn't mean they need to step outside their standards as a bio-weapon.

I think symbiotes are not meant to be characters on their own and a big part of their development is the development they have with one or more hosts. Because then they go beyond the standard of being a symbiote and simply aren't one anymore. Because being a symbiote also has the small inconvenience that you are a parasite and need a host to feed on.

I like Symby as it's own character. I like to know what they thinks, I'm interested in their past and expectations for the future. But Symby isn't really interesting if they doesn't have an interesting host. And I think that's what happens with All New Venom and the whole mystery behind who the real host is.

This is why fans usually always prefer them to get back with Eddie. Because Symby isn't really a complete character if they aren't with it counterpart, a host with whom they has good chemistry.

Perhaps the only other character who has been close to that level by fans opinion is Flash. And the rest of the people who think Symbiote should be with another character are more of an aesthetic or power thing, like Spiderman. I haven't seen many fans who are interested in the type of relationship they have, but rather the idea of ​​Spiderman being "darker" and even letting out a more aggressive side of himself.

Again, no one really cares about the symbiote, only what it represents aesthetically.

I think the only hosts that have allowed Symby to develop as a character are Eddie. Literally. Flash did it a little, but his story was more about Symby being a weapon, not to mention that early in his story Symby was literally brainwashed, and then maybe he could develop a little bit in wanting to be a hero, but it is more an expression of Flash's own desires reflected in the symbiote. Uh, I'd even go so far as to say Lee Price, because during the only comic they were in together and those few issues in Venom 2021, Symby talked a lot about how being trapped made them feel and how they longed for freedom and being a hero again.

We could say that the new host in All New also allows Symby to expound a bit, but it's more to prevent the way the host acts from giving away who he or she really is. And it feels emptier, because there's no interaction between the two, just Symby talking, being this uninteresting character who just yearns to return to the host that gave meaning to it existence.

Reaffirming, again, that the symbiote is not a character by itself, it needs a host, because it is part of the nature of this type of fictional characters.

I think the only symbiote that's been able to function independently is Sleeper. Because they've never assigned a host. But even Sleeper becomes a flat character, because he's only there for Dylan.

Dylan is it's complement, as Eddie is Symby's complement, Cletus is Carnage's complement, Normie is Rascal complemen, as many other symbiotes have their classic hosts, which form part of their identity. Like Donna and Scream, to give an example.

And I think the best example of this might be the Venom: The End comic. They tried to do something that was just about the symbiote and yet they needed a host to complement the story, more importantly, its complementary character, Eddie. Symby's main reason for reviving bio-life in the galaxy

I don't think that the fact that symbiotes can't develop on their own is a bad thing, because they don't need it. They are symbiotes, parasites, they need to be with someone or die of hunger.

You can make a symbiote interesting by giving it an interesting host. And putting it in interesting situations with interesting hosts.

The bar is dimly lit, neon signs buzzing faintly overhead, the air thick with the scent of whiskey and cheap beer. You were just trying to unwind—school was kicking your ass, and you needed a moment to yourself.

“Didn’t know you played,” a deep voice chuckles behind you.

You roll your eyes before even turning around. “Didn’t know you hung out anywhere but crime scenes and bad coffee shops.”

Eddie Brock steps closer, smirking as he leans against the pool table. “Let’s make it interesting. One game.” He pauses, tilting his head slightly. “Loser buys the next round.”

You know you shouldn’t. But there’s something about the way he looks at you—like he’s daring you to say no—that makes it hard to reject his offer.

So, you play.

It starts off harmless, easy shots and sharp remarks. But the air shifts. Maybe it’s the way Eddie leans over the table, sleeves rolled up, forearms flexing as he lines up his shot. Or maybe it’s how he stands just a little too close behind you, voice low and too damn attentive as he offers unwanted advice.

His hands ghost over your arms as he adjusts your grip. “Angle it just a little more… yeah, like that.”

You should call him out on the closeness. You want to push him away. But you don’t. Because the warmth of him against your back is distracting, and suddenly, you’re wondering if this tension is just old rivalry—or something else entirely.

You take the shot. The 8-ball sinks perfectly into the corner pocket. Triumphant, you turn to him with a smirk. “Looks like you’re buying, Brock.”

Eddie grins, but something in his expression shifts. He sets his cue stick aside and steps closer—until there’s no space left between you. Your back pressed against the edge of the table, his arms braced on either side, trapping you in. Your heart pounds, maybe from the game, maybe from the shots you downed earlier, or maybe from the way his gaze flickers to your lips.

“Yeah,” he murmurs, voice rough, teasing. “Guess I owe you.”

And somehow, you know he’s not just talking about the drink.
