Just in case you were replying to my post, I wasn't insinuating that Brock faking the pic had ANYTHING to do with "destroying" the character, that was just my reason for disregarding an "Eddie Brock Sr." appearance. As far as destroying characters goes, I don't think that character was destroyed at all. He got limited face time which is just enough for people to keep talking about it for the years leading up to the 4th film, and Grace put up a very solid performance considering that not EVERYTHING from a comic can be believeably translated to a film involving real life actors rather than cartoons. For "fanboys" anything is believable but not necessarily the general public and IMO this movie has the potential to please and entertain most of each population.
