>>111533339Venom is a super polarizing character, especially among old-fags like Larsen who tend to think that Spider-Man was perfect up until Gwen Stacy died.
They dislike Venom and the idea of him being "evil Spider-Man" and they especially hate how fans love Venom and basically caused Marvel to turn Eddie into a good guy as a result.
And IIRC the Wizard shouting match, Larsen super hated how quickly Micheline abandoned the idea of Venom having no permanent host and how he hastily created Eddie Brock because the original plan was for Venom to be a woman who's family died during a Spider-Man/Living Monolith fight and have the symbiote basically constantly finding hosts that hated Spider-Man to use as vessels to try and kill him. And for how Micheline retconned Eddie into the Sin Eater Saga for a motive, which is kind of funny since that story was written by Peter David and Larsen ESPECIALLY hates Peter David.
