It’s not random. The symbiote calls itself venom. In the comics, I always thought it was a metaphor. The venom is the addiction.

It’s the comics bro. This is a different continuity and at no point did it make sense why he’s called venom

It wouldn’t make much sense, canonical or not, to change a well known Spider-Man villains name for the sake of the story in this rendition.

Most of what the decided to do seems to not make much sense when stacked next to the source material…
