this is an origin story
There's confirmation of this being an origin story for Venom. Or of anything. You think you're watching the beginning of Brock's time with the symbiote but it could very well be a decade into it.
All we know is the comic the film is based on, where Brock goes to San Francisco to live a life where he's not a Spidey villain. Then when the threat of multiple symbiotes running around wreaking havoc comes about he's forced to become an anti-hero.
The comics Fleischer adapted are not origin stories so we shouldn't assume the film is.
