#Venom eddie bracken movie#
While Eddie in the comics 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 - Depending on the Writer - Venom's villainy was all Eddie's fault as his rage corrupted the symbiote. After obtaining the symbiote, he explicitly forbids it from hurting innocents. Adaptational Heroism: Prior to obtaining the 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.Also, while in the comic books he is mad at Spider-Man for exposing his mistake here he loses his job while really finding out his girlfriend's boss does illegal things and for that the Jerkass Has a Point this time despite costing said girlfriend her job.

Adaptational Nice Guy: He's less egocentric than his comic book counterpart.In the comics, Eddie is very buff and has a broad build (where Venom was originally depicted getting his large, monstrous appearance from), but here Eddie has a more average build (if on the large side of average).

He does seem to be a more competent and famous reporter though, even having his own primetime show. While Eddie seems to be a fit, exercising man who can hold his own in a physical fight, he does not seem to be the herculean Badass Normal he was in the comics, where he was canonically almost as strong as Captain America and actually a little stronger than guys like Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin. It should also be noted that Venom (Donny Cates) retconned that Eddie didn't have cancer at first, and when he did get cancer, it was due to the symbiote screwing with his body chemistry.
