>>80979946>Not really trying to be cynical; I'm just saying that at a first pass, the symbiote doesn't know, or care, what you want. It wants to possess you. To be inside you. It 'bonds' with you for its own reasons. Because that is what it is. In time, yes, the relationship might change as it tends to do with prison rapists, but to paint it as any kind of consent in the first case is mostly disingenuous. Unless you have the symbiote in a cage and then release it onto you, I suppose.Well, in Venom's family, that was untrue. It chose Peter because it saw something good in him, was inspired by him. Plus, he saved it from such a long time of imprisonment. It had no ulterior motives at the time than peacefully coexisting with him, until he found out it was alive. I believe that it went along the lines of it was tryring to bond with him like it did with Brock, but that requires his permission, and he was hardly in the state to think rationally about anything.
Carnage too, was a 'good' symbiote of the commensalistic type... until it attached to Cletus almost immediately after its birth. The way symbiotes behave are based upon their hosts. Whatever heroic tendencies the Venom symbiote has, it got from Spidey, but it picked up most of its bad ones from Brock, Gargan, an essentially slumming it with askew of bad choices.
Immediately after birth, its first goal is to survive. Then, it needs to find a suitable host to stay with. They don't need to bond with the first host they meet, really they can hop to and fro, but Venom is a symbiote that despised doing that, and such was its relationship with Peter, so that aversion of drain em and leave em is inherent in its descendants.
In case you haven't noticed by now, I'm a big fan of Peter with the symbiote. Such a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.Also, as far as I know, the Carnage symbiote was the only one to bond on a cellular level, giving Cletus a bunch of game-breaking powers.
