am i hallucinating or did Separation Anxiety and Planet of the Symbiotes solve the exact problem that the cancer and antivenom arcs deal with so poorly a decade later? admittedly im skipping around so maybe im missing something huge but.. its like. literally the exact same thing.
and this is only the first realisation to have about how the 90s and 00s comics relate to each other! there are so many more exciting layers of awful to unravel
What if a symbiote’s own name is very rare and sacred, most of the time only the symbiote itself knows it if they had one?
Knull didn’t want the symbiotes to have free will when he created them,
maybe some of the symbiotes who feel more individuality give themselves
names and keep them secret as something powerful and rebellious, almost like a spell (in some culture, if you knows something’s name, you posses the power of controling it).
If Venom the symbiote does have it’s own private name, and the writer didn’t forget about this panel, I hope Eddie could get to know his Other’s real name when he get it back. It would be a powerful moment.
