Venom ( and other Marvel Symbiotes ) as Geist inspiration?

[wyrdhamster]

So when thinking about Geist 2E I watched latest Venom trailer - and it hit me. Is not Marvel Symbiotes - Venom, Carnage and rest - known widely as Klyntar race - relations with their hosts works as great parallel to Geist-Bound dynamic? Geists are, in the end, alien forces of Death that are only passingly with human traits. Most of the time they are alien beings, having great power, that host need to Synergy to success, yes?

See the trailer for more Symbiote-Host dynamics that could be Giest-Bound one, with Eddie being Bound and Venom being Geist.

I would say they would fit a deviants if they have symbiotes (and by the way that trailer gave me faith in the movie, the comics should make venom (the creature) back to being more his own person again.

Anyway, i fail to see how they are like geist, sure they fuse with you and can cure cancer, but they aren't really involved with death itself, only the act of killing

EDIT: My geist knowledge is limited, so don't be surprised if see how ignorant my post is or how easily you can prove me wrong

More like in the beginning. In the end geists are non-human people the Bound either works with or enslaves.
