How Does The Symbiote Survive?
Having decided to go all out on the hero front, Venom apparently disintegrates in the explosion caused by the destroyed rocket and it was earlier explained that fire’s fatal to symbiotes. However, it’s soon revealed that it actually managed to survive when we hear its voice speaking to Eddie while he’s chatting to Anne on her doorstep some time later.
So, how exactly did Venom survive? I mean, we even heard it saying a heartfelt goodbye to Eddie before it burned up. Well, though the film doesn’t offer an explanation for this, the comics do, so it’s not too hard to work out. It’s established in the source material that symbiotes are tricky beings to kill as if even a piece of them survives they can regenerate. So, despite appearances, it would seem that one itty bitty piece of Venom made it out of the blast in tact and once again bonded with Eddie.
This also begs the question of whether Riot got out of that, too. The inference is that it didn’t, though, as Carlton Drake and his symbiote were trapped in the rocket itself, with no escape, when it was destroyed.
