 Venom may be a headbiting alien freak, but he cares deeply for the underprivileged and the homeless. In the comic books, the primary reason Venom was considered an anti-hero was because he used violent means to protect the ones that live on the streets. Many a times, he attacked and killed people for hurting the homeless. In the movie, Eddie Brock shows similar traits. He's the first to notice there are a lot less homeless people on the streets. That's because Drake's corporation has been experimenting on them. Brock is the first to raise questions and he's ostracized by his own fraternity for doing so. When he becomes Venom, he continues the same tradition. At around 44 minutes, the restaurant scene was shot once with the live lobsters and once with the fake lobsters. The lobster that Tom Hardy bites into was actually candy coated marshmallow filling with chocolate syrup.
