We never really saw the movie version of Venom's durabilty put to the test. We only know he's good against blunt force, and weak against sonics. That doesn't help, seeing as the majority of the xenomorph's attacks would be slashing/stabbing/cutting.
@k4tzm4n: Well, if I remember correctly, a block was dropped on his head from like 50 feet away and he didn't look like he took any significant damage.
@PikminMania: If we're to assume the symbiote's features are on-par or at least close to the comic book version's, then yes, he'd win. The 616 symbiote handles cutting/stabbing damage extremely well. I'm just pointing out that was never displayed in the movie, so it's impossible to be certain.
@Fetts: Like I said, that falls under blunt force.
@Fetts: That backs his statement of "blunt force" in Movie Venom's durability. That doesn't do to much about k4tzm4n's other points, and the acid blood.
@Fetts: No prob. Hey, Movie Venom did webbing too, right? I think it might be able to restrain the xeno enough to get in some blunt force trauma on it, with the xeno being crippled and possibly hemorrhaging, which limits its agility and keeps its bleeding internal. How much does MV know about what he's fighting?
It depends on HOW Venom plays this fight. If he keeps a good distance, uses his webbing and use his agility/strength he can overpower Alien and win. If he goes in straight and tries to slug it out and shows venerability to cutting and acid then I'm not sure.
@Fortified_Hooligan: I actually find it unlikely Venom would cut the Xeno. Sure, there's the potential for tendrils and such, but he often strikes, and he has the strength to basically one-shot the alien.
I'm just curious about how the film symbiote would hold up to a stab/slash, since we never saw it tested in that respect.
The Xenomorph is versatile, but I don't see it being able to do much against Venom. Acid blood is easily avoided by using blunt force, webbing can be used as constraints unless the Xenomorph's outer shell can slice through the webbing. Either way, Venom has more working to his advantage here, the suit's durability, webbing, strength.
Venom easily, I'm not sure why people are so certain they think the Xenomorph would win. Sure the xenomorph has acid for blood but Venom has proven to have quite a number of superhuman abilities and feats as also shown in the 2018 Venom movie. As @pikminmania has pointed out, the acidic blood would most likely do barely any harm to Venom
@bewaredanger: That acid would corrode Venom and I doubt he'd be able to regenerate because the edges of where the acid splashed would be destroyed. The DNA strands wouldn't be able to come back
