Peter has been Spider-Man for about six months by the time of Civil War and is still in high school during Homecoming. So how does the Eddie Brock Venom fit into this? Why would an adult Venom hold a grudge against a teenage Spider-Man? It wouldn't. Focus on the Venom symbiote as a this thing that first empowers and then corrupts a milquetoast, pathetic Eddie Brock. That's a well-worn trope in sci-fi and fantasy, but hasn't really been done in a superhero movie yet. Then make Venom a super-powered being in New York that crosses paths with Spider-Man. The symbiote manipulates its naturally-occurring abilities to mimic Spider-Man's when it realizes the webhead is stronger than it.

Yeah, that's right, I used "milquetoast" in a sentence.
