After settling his score with Harry, Peter sets out to expose Brock as a fraud. In 'Venom' (Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #300, May 1988), Brock was disgraced and lost his job at The Daily Globe after he printed an interview with a serial confessor claiming to be the villain Sin-Eater. When Spider-Man caught the real Sin-Eater, the error in Eddie's 'exclusive' was laid bare and his reputation ruined. He then lost his job and his credibility, and his life was effectively destroyed. In the movie he ends up similarly disgraced after forging photographs of Spider-Man for The Daily Bugle.However, the movie's depiction of Brock's fall from grace is far closer to the version from Spider-Man: The Animated Series. In the TV show Brock intentionally lied about photos he took of Spider-Man in order to implicate him in a crime, knowing that this would endear him to Jameson and get him a job at The Daily Bugle. He does the same thing in the movie.The scene in the film where Peter confronts Eddie in The Daily Bugle offices is based on a similar moment in the Spider-Man (1994) episode 'The Alien Costume, Part II' (s01e09). In Spider-Man Adventures Vol 1 #9, Jameson investigates the accusations against Eddie and discovers Brock did indeed lie to him. He then promptly fires him. In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Jameson calls Eddie "trash" when he fires him. In the movie it is Peter who calls him "trash".Gwen breaks up with Eddie after he loses his job. Gwen also distanced herself from Brock in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics when she realized he was only after her for sex. In both stories this rejection leaves Eddie deeply embittered and contributes to his descent into villainy.Eddie blames Spider-Man for his misfortune in the comics, while in the movie he blames Peter. In the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, Eddie knew Peter and Spider-Man were one and the same before he became Venom, and he harbored a vendetta against both of them.
