You don’t have to be sorry about your opinion.
That’s what were here for, to share them.
I don know if you are aware of this, but it was the original intention of David Michelinie (co-creator of Venom) that shortly after Venom’s initial appearances in ASM, the symbiote would jump hosts and bond w/ someone else. As it turned out Venom/Brock became mega popular in the early 90’s so Marvel directed Michelinie to keep the symbiote/Brock union in tact.
By 2004 the Venom/Brock character had suffered from bad/contradictory writing for a number of years, so I guess Marvel just wanted to clear the slate. And why not, the character was not going anywhere and each subsequent story made no sense in light of his previous exploits.
The writers/editorial decided to give him a hiatus until he could be effectively used.
Good idea if you ask me.
See, the Hype is littered w/ hundreds of Venom people, w/ handles like ‘Venom-Teeth’ and ‘Venom-spew’ and ‘Venom-Roxors’, (btw- I’m not saying that all of you are 15 yr old noobs who don know anything about continuity, hahahahah) but if you knew anything about the comics then you would know that it was best to put the character on Ice for a bit until a writer came along who knew what to do w/ him.
Personally I would say that Venom/Brock has run his course and we don need him in comics anymore.
The simple reason he was so potent in the beginning was that he was a real threat to PP’s life, probably the biggest focused threat on his existence since the Green Goblin.
Once Venom had failed to kill SM a few times, his threat/potency had worn off.
The character was nullified and pointless as he was no longer a real danger.
Once the readers knew Venom was not going to kill SM, Why carry on w/ it?
All it does is wear out/diminish/fade a once great legacy.
Like an old heavyweight boxer, long since past his prime yet unable to realise it’s over.
Let’s be serious, this would never happen.
The Venom/Brock situation was pretty unique because-
1) His powers are basically his suit which is alive, thus if the suit is removed from Brock they can basically be adhered to anyone the suit chooses to bond with.
2) Venom/Brock’s last few arcs made no sense in light of each other.
In ‘The Hunger’-SSM Vol2 #1-6 Brock was apparently bonded permanently w/ the symbiote at the end of the arc so that he could never be separated. Then in MKSM he decides he wants to auction it off. This should not have been possible, but at least the writers (or more specifically Millar) wanted to draw a line under all of what had gone before.
3)Finally like I said earlier, the symbiote was originally intended to jump host way back in the day.
So it’s not like it’s a stupid idea or makes no sense.
This is what the creators of Venom originally envisioned for him!
