beach-mice asked: A friend of a friend is part of a celebrity stylist team and was dressing Keanu maybe 2 or 3 years ago. He joked to her that he felt like a piece of meat, being stared and and made up and whatever, and she said, "Oh yeah? Try being a woman on a film set." He got immediately serious and said, "Today? Was someone inappropriate? I can have them fired, just let me know." She has nothing but nice things to say about him.
Rewatching Venom, I noticed that when Riot takes a body, he takes over complete control. There is no muscular control left to the host, not even the eyes, until he gets to Drake.
When Venom takes a body, though, he leaves almost full control to the host. The only times when he takes control from Eddie, it’s when they’re being attacked, or else when he’s starving to the point of cannibalizing Eddie’s body, and the entire time he only takes over the parts of the body that he needs at that moment, while leaving Eddie autonomy over the rest of himself.
And it’s not just with Eddie. When we saw Maria bonded to him, she was moving autonomously and was able to call out to Eddie for help.
And it’s not just that.
The first time Venom speaks to Eddie, it’s in the bathroom– and Eddie is so freaked out that he launches himself backward and knocks himself unconscious on the bathroom wall.
After that, Venom doesn’t try to contact him again until he has no other choice, and then only to say “HUNGRY” and “FOOD”, until they’re actively threatened.
Unlike Riot, Venom shows a lot of respect for the autonomy and sanity of his hosts and leaves him as much autonomy as he can afford.
