The Many Forms Of A Symbiont

[Niño Manga]

Ok, this is my very own theory about how Venom shows at least three of it's forms in the movie.
First and second, as we all know by now are the black suit and classical Venom form.
Until here, ok.
But I assume there is a third and unshown form of the symbiont. My theory is this:
We've all seen the non-to-be-mentioned leeked trailer. Those were the images shown in ComiCon all right. I'll just refer to one of them.
When, after praying God for him to kill Peter Parker, Eddie Brock comes out of the church. Passing under the tower's stairs, he looks to the ceiling and murmurates "...Parker". But after that, a viscous black substance drops over him, turning him into Venom. Many things have been said about this part, but never this.
Unless Peter is naked still hanging from the roof, Eddie sees, or thinks to see, a relatively human-shaped figure, because he associates it to Parker directly. So, Venom must still maintain a reasonable android form although without host.
So, then, we have three forms at least. Black suit, classic Venom and running-free symbiont with human shape. Surely for references to this form you may adress to the "Venom" saga from Herrera, having that form a complete protagonism most of the time, even when he possesses Wolverine.

i personally believe that when it takes over eddie, he will be similar in shape and size to spider-man, as his time in the movie progresses(although its short) his rage builds for peter/spidey and similarily so does physique.

so when he transforms, i believe we will see a smaller venom as seen in comic con trailer, but at the battle royale i believe we will see a full blown, protruded jaw and tongue 'animalistic' venom....!?

 

[Arcturus]

It's essentially the black spider-man costume, only distorted, and it sports a jaw full of teeth and tonuge most likely, as well as some claws.

 

[Omega214]

with hopefully a little bit more muscle, due to the suit enhancing the weak brock

Good theory. Remember the pics from the spider-man 3 toys? One of the pics had a very strange version of Venom... he had no legs! THAT could be the symbiote without host!

i really liked your theory, once the symbiote gets a hold of brock, it replicates spideys suit to form almost the same thing, except the nails, the teeth, the eyes and the white spider. when the symbiote gets off peter it must be like the action figure of the spidey3 toys. like goran said, one of the figures were the symbiote by itself.

Look Venom has one form. It is when the symbiote (which may or may not take a human form after

Spoiler

Brock dies

) merges with Brock in the church.

He'll be more muscular than Topher or Spidey, but he'll still have the same height as Topher and shape, even if he is more built. He will look like classic Venom artistically though, except with claws and the outline of the Spider-pattern.

You can see movie Venom in "concept" form on Amazon booklets for kids about the third movie though.

the symbiote has one form, when it is not on somebody it goes to look for a host.

I dont think you understood what the thread was about. Of course it only has one form, but what i wanted to explain, as the other posters DID understand, is that maybe has other... appearences, shall we call them.

Anyway, thaks for your support! I still hope more people com to read this thread t:

If the symbiote is without host...why is not standing over Peter in bed? It is more than likely a goo that creeps about on the floor.

it takes forms. it can grow into a huminoid type form or a type of form where it creeps around on the floor, kind of like stealth.

We haven't seen it take humanoid form yet though.

true, maybe after peter rips the symbiote off it will go into humanoid form, or when the symbiote gets off brock.

 

[Victarion]

There was a toy image that had Symbiote Spidey, and interchangeable...accessories (for lack of better word). One was what looked like a Venom head rising from the suit, which is on Spider-Man.

yeah, that is what i was talking about, that could be the humanoid form.

 

[Spade]

I see there to be four forms. The first is the one that we see it in first, the natural spindly black fluid form. We then see it bond with Peter's costume to form the Black Suit. When Peter tears the Black Suit to bits the Black Symbiote assumes it's natural form and drips below onto Brock. It then tries to recreate it's Black Suit form on Brock, which is only halfway successful without the costume. Thus the Venom incarnation is born. Venom is "shanked", and the Black Symbiote then tries to re-bond with Peter in the toy preview form- the upper body of it's Venom incarnation, but with a fluid midsection/ lower body. The final glimpse is what I guess is just a sample of the Black Symbiote and not an actual 'form' persay.

And just to add- I was thinking of this very topic at school. Deja vu.

 

[Abaddon]

anyone have a link to these toys?
