They pretty much were the same from the start until the 00s or so, the story where Scorpion is henching for Goblin and eventually becomes the new Venom after Eddie auctions off the symbiote, is the first time I recall a symbiote ever speaking fully and fluently in a comic like it was just a person

If you're very into the symbiote at peak alienness, "The Hunger" is a good one off story where it's super animalistic. It's also the story that came up with the "Venom eats brains but can substitute it with chocolate" meme
