13 Uncanny Similarities Between Venom And Catwoman
10. Sneaking Into A Facility They Have A Past With
In both films, the end of the first act features the protagonist sneaking into a facility they have a past with and accidentally getting their powers as a result.
In Catwoman, Patience goes after-hours to Hedare Beauty's labs to deliver her finished assignment, only to accidentally stumble upon information she shouldn't have seen. As a result, Laurel and her guards chase her down and attempt to kill her, which inadvertently leads to a cat bringing her back to life and giving her superpowers.
In Venom, Eddie sneaks into the Life Foundation facility, stumbles upon information he shouldn't have seen, and gets infected with one of the symbiotes. After which, he is chased from the facility by Drake and his guards who are all trying to kill Eddie.
In even greater similarities, the information the protagonists stumble upon in both cases is that these facilities are testing dangerous substances out on unsuspecting human trials and it is killing them in the process. As a result, the central narrative of each film is then driven by the antagonist's henchmen chasing down the protagonist to stop them from revealing the information they've learned.
