What does Eddie do when Venom eats?


Does Eddie have to eat or bite too? Because Venom just looks like a suit, no internal organs. So is Eddies organs digesting whatever Venom eats? Thanks

Well, in the actual comics there was one point where the symbiote wanted to consume human flesh but Eddie was able to get rid of its cravings by eating chocolate. It is kind of funny though because well before this story Venom would tell some enemy of his that he'd eat some organ/body part of theirs but then he would never actually do it.

But they dont share intestines, Venom is just like a suit. So if he eats anything it will just fall on Eddie's face unless he starts eating it too.

At the end in Mrs. Chen’s shop, it did look like Eddie was “kinda” swallowing what Venom ate. And in the scene where She-Venom saves Eddie... Anne is horrified by the fact that she, Anne, bit off a guy’s head. Eddie’s reponse to that? “... I’ve been there, too. It’s not fun!”

We know it was really Venom who did this but maybe Eddie does digest Venom’s... leftovers. :D Whether this deviates from the comics or not is irrelevant.

Then... that's CANNIBALISM... through a third party!

Given how fast Venom can regenerate Eddie's body, plus the scientists discovering how Symbiotes were consuming internal organs of their hosts (because they weren't fed proper live stock) I believe that they can and will digest anything almost instantenously. Also, in the movie, it is very clear that it's not just a suit, because it definitely survives inside the hosts body, modifying it (or destroying it) as they see fit.

Venom is not a suit, it merges with the body and thus anything Eddie or Venim eats - both do.

The symbiote integrates itself into the host's physiology. It's not just a suit that's worn on the outside.
