Iirc Deadpool was actually Venom’s first human host.
Deadpool having 3 personalities was too much for Venom which is why he was so fucked up when he latched onto Spiderman. He was literally trying to put his head back together and that’s why Peter was able to reject him.
I don’t think it was a retcon, so much as an alternate universe. Let’s be honest, the continuity of comics, is a fuckin mess.
But yeah, there’s a comic where Deadpool is the first human host for Venom and it causes Venom to go crazy, because he can’t deal with Deadpool’s multiple personalities and overall craziness.
Then he meets Brock, but Brock doesn’t bond at first, so venom finds Peter but because he’s weakened from Deadpool, Peter was able to fight Venom off.

That is true, but in the movie, venom skips deadpool and Peter so he’s a lot less evil and not broken.
That’s fair. In the movie universe he’s more controlled and is more reasonable
I stopped reading comics in the mid-90s, and my memory is a bit hazy, but doesn’t Venom predate Deadpool? Is this a later retcon?
Yeah wikipedia says venom was introduced in spider-man comics in 1984 (under a different name)/1988. Deadpool’s first appearance was in 1990.
