It's the problem when you want a villain to be the protagonist: You have to give the audience a reason to root for them, and the easiest way of doing it is with an antihero.

The lack of a Superhero also affects this movie a bit since pretty much every action scene is a stomp in Venom's favor, which is probably why he fights another symbiote at the end.

Venom's reason for trying to avoid the symbiote invasion was actually very well thought given it allows him to do an action some might consider "heroic" just for selfishness rather than for selflessness.

This is probably how a Venom movie could have worked: make Eddie a pseudo Kira once he gets Venom, murdering criminals because he thinks it's correct, but then slowing going insane as he targets people he once was in good terms with (Like his ex-boss or ex-girlfriend). At the end... well, I don't know exactly how the script should be changed to avoid symbiote vs symbiote but still have a battle that shows Venom's selfishness, any ideas?
