Question: Why doesn't Peter take the symbiote suit off normally instead of ripping it off?
Question: Gwen Stacey is at Harry Osborn's funeral. Does she know that her ex Eddie Brock was the one that killed Harry? And does she know that Eddie was "the strange black suited figure" on the news (aka Venom) ?
Answer: It's unclear. Only Peter and Mary Jane knew that Eddie was Venom and that he killed Harry. Spider-Man may have decided not to tell the press that Eddie was Venom out of desire of not wanting Eddie to be vilified, given that Peter knows firsthand what the symbiote does to a person. The public could very well be under the impression that Venom killed both Eddie and Harry, but that the true identity of Venom was unknown before being destroyed himself.
Answer: If you'll notice, he seems very stressed out and immediately struggles taking off the suit. Before he starts to rip it off, he holds up his hands, and they're sort of constricted, and you can hear a sort-of plasticy "tightening" sound. And then he starts to moan like he's in pain. Then he starts to rip at it. It seems like the suit senses that he wants to remove it and is trying to hold on by squeezing him. So trying to pull if off normally wouldn't work.
