cthulhu-with-a-fez:

no actually you know what, having watched venom another three times i take it back. you know what i actually think happened, with eddie getting sent on the carlton drake interview?

i think drake asked for him specifically.

reporter boss guy obviously knows eddie well enough to know that interview was disaster bait, but he also made a specific point of two things: one, that carlton drake could buy out the whole building with his pocket change; and two, that no matter what, none of them are above the network. he clearly likes eddie, likes what eddie does, but he was all but begging him to just do the fluff segment on the rockets, which leads me to believe that he wouldn’t be sending him if he had any other choice.

and it makes sense that drake would ask for him, too, because think about it. drake is obviously very image-conscious, he has the polish down to a T, and he wouldn’t have lasted this long if he wasn’t very good at maintaining the right kind of public face. he’s definitely aware of the brock report, and the kind of things eddie has gotten into chasing his stories. so, in the wake of the rocket disaster - and in the midst of all the rumors flying around - what better way to allay suspicion than to get eddie ‘investigative chaos goblin’ brock to do a fluff segment on him? people know him, know what he does, and if he doesn’t turn up anything then maybe there’s nothing to turn up in the first place.

of course, it’s a win-win situation for him - either eddie caves to the network’s demands and gives drake the good press he’s looking for, or he doesn’t, in which case it wouldn’t be remotely difficult to just. promptly deplatform him. get rid of the potential spanner in the works.

i mean, as we see in canon, that eventually came back to bite him, but in the meantime look at where it got eddie: cynical, job prospects ruined, life effectively down the drain, and if it had been anything other than the venom symbiote in that lab, he would have been dead.

i think carlton drake knew exactly what he was asking for, when he was getting interviewed. i think he knew exactly who was doing the interviewing. and i think he knew that no matter what, he would get a beneficial outcome.

I don’t know why no one has jumped on this yet but PLEASE consider the AU possibilities of a Venom/Into the Spider-Verse crossover where each spider has a slightly different Venom. Here are my versions:

MILES’ UNIVERSE

• I’ve heard people say that Miles could have the 2018 movie Venom but I really like the idea of Miles being a host before Eddie because how awesome would that be?

• Basically he learns about Venom from the other spider people before actually meeting them so when he becomes bonded to the symbiote he just goes straight to Eddie.

• Even though the symbiote isn’t THRILLED to hear that Miles doesn’t want to stay bonded them, they are very pleased to hear that Miles apparently knows their ideal match.

• Eddie is pretty similar to the movie version. His mother is still alive and he doesn’t talk to his dad but he’s still in his twenties and still works for the Daily Bugle.

• Eddie actually has done a few articles on Spider-Man so he isn’t a complete stranger but it’s a little weird to have anyone come up to you and be like “hey you wanna superhero with me? Take this alien and absorb them into your mind and body.”

• Despite the weird circumstances, the symbiote and Eddie actually get on really well when they decide to move to San Fran together they become a kind of West Coast extension of the spider gang.

PETER B.’S UNIVERSE

• Basically comics Venom. But like, EARLY comics Venom. Villain venom.

• Almost comically villainous.

• Full on dumbass blonde thot Eddie who “pumps iron” and challenges everyone to arm wrestle him + a symbiote who has NO problem biting the heads off of criminals like gummy bears.

• Their list of criminals inclues Spider-Man.

• But honestly Venom’s reasons for hating Peter are kind of valid.

• He was pretty shitty to the symbiote and still treats them like they’re an object that Eddie is using just to get back at him for ruining his career

• Eddie could almost forgive him for ruining his career but treating his other the way he does crosses the line.

• So basically Peter FREAKS when he sees Gwen and Miles just chilling with their Eddie’s and they have to tell him that he’s actually a pretty nice guy and maybe it’s kinda sorta Peter’s fault that his Venom part of his rogues gallery.

GWEN’S UNIVERSE

• Gwen and her Eddie are actually really good friends (yeah I know this one doesn’t at all fit with the comics but hear me out).

• (This is probably the longest and most convoluted story idea I’ve ever had)

• They meet through ballet classes and start out as acquaintances. You know, they’re classmates and get along but they’re not bffs.

• Then Gwen’s hanging out with Peter and he’s like “oh yeah meet this guy from my journalism club” and she’s like “Eddie??”

• So it turns out that Eddie and Peter are pretty good friends but no one knows that Eddie is a ballet dancer and he doesn’t want anyone to find out because his dad is an abusive piece of shit and they’re still teenagers so he’s at risk of getting kicked out of the house.

• Gwen and him get to know each other better cause they’re both are close to Peter and the three of them hang out and watch movies and do teenager stuff.

• Somehow his dad finds out about his double life and Eddie ends up homeless. He gets pretty pissed at Gwen and Peter because they’re the only ones who he told and he stops talking to them.

• Then Peter dies and Eddie feels like shit because Peter was a nice guy and didn’t deserve that and he and Gwen kind of form a tense truce because she’s doing the keeping people at arms length thing now.

• So they see each other in class but don’t really talk and he never tells her that he’s still living on the streets and she doesn’t ask.

• After the whole universe hopping adventure and opening her heart up to friendship she reaches out to him again and finds out he doesn’t have a place to stay and HELL if she’s going to let that happen because her family has a guest bedroom.

• So he stays with her for until he can get his own place and the whole time Gwen is superheroing it up in the background and one day she finds this mysterious black goo on an alien ship. I wonder what it is!

• Que the comics Gwenom. They get along but she struggles with the bloodlust and doesn’t know if they’re manipulating her and blah blah blah.

• But in MY VERSION Kingpin somehow figures out that he can use sound to weaken her. The symbiote is separated and Gwen is captured and unconscious, so symby finds Eddie and bonds with him and together they help Gwen escape and in the process the symbiote finds their perfect match and Venom becomes a fellow hero.

• They do try to eat heads as little as possible, but the occasional rapist is oh so tasty and Gwen never has to know.

• I may have come up with this whole ridiculous plot line because I love the idea of ballerino Eddie performing a surreal but beautiful dance with the alien lover who lives inside him.

• (Hint: they’re dancing to Movement by Hozier)

• Sorry that was so long let’s move on now.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR’S UNIVERSE

• An investigative reporter with a dark secret meets a mysterious alien with vague intentions. What will happen happen next? Now showing at a theater near you.

• I mean any Eddie would fit so perfectly into the film noir genre. This one is basically the same as the movie version but wears a fedora and a trench coat instead of an unwashed grey sweatshirt and likes to hide in dark corners and smoke.

• The symbiote is a perfect mix between a classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers style alien and a femme fatale. They find Eddie in a dark church and tell them they need help from a good, strong host in the sexiest way possible but they also are also very goey.

• I think this Venom isn’t really a hero or a villain but, you know, kind of morally grey. Peter and them are both morally grey in their own ways so they have a mutual understanding of “you stay out of my business, I’ll stay out of yours” and occasionally reluctantly team up to punch Nazis.

SPIDER-HAM’S UNIVERSE

• Also has a comically villainous Venom like Peter B., but this one is a PIG.

• Just a stupidly buff pig.

• The symbiote has adorable boar teeth.

• Peter “I mean he’s technically my nemesis but we still meet up for margaritas every Friday” Porker

PENI’S UNIVERSE

• Pretty similar to the comics. Addy is a fellow mech pilot and classmate but I refuse to let them have the same storyline because the mechs seem much more intelligent in the movie than from the small bit I know about the comics and I just can’t see Venom as a mindless, malfunctioning robot.

• The problem instead is that VEN#m has a higher level of sentience than Ben realizes but they have no way to communicate with Addy during battle so they freak out and force a fusion.

• This overwhelms Addy at first and everyone thinks that the suit has gone rogue but when Addy explains that VEN#m just needed a way to talk to her Peni is able to disconnect Addy from the suit while keeping the telepathic link.

• Addy has a very different relationship with her mech than Peni, as VEN#m has a much more human personality than SP//dr, who’s really more like a pet.

• I just want to imagine a high school romance with a girl and a non-binary robot okay?

• It also seems like the symbiote is a little more on the feminine side when they have a female host so still technically non-binary but it’s totally a robot lesbian high school romance if you squint.

That is all thank you for reading. If you want to write more about any of these of have your own ideas then please tell me because lord knows I want to read it.

I really love the Miles one, could I write it as a fic?
