The problem with Venom is that his fanbase is young, the old guys who grew up on classic Spider-Man and have jobs at Marvel all hate him because he marked a change in the industry and aesthetics they weren't used to, they also probably hate McFarlane. Thus, they are not aware of his history and give little care for it when it's their turn to write the character and they end up making up their own rules.
