I donāt think Iāll ever be over ASM #800. Slott should not have written the Venom Symbiote as an accessory or suit. Thatās a person. With thoughts and feelings, and Slott didnāt write it having a choice to save Flash. That decision was made by Flash and Peter and nobody bothered asking Venom. Flash was Venomās best friend. The two risked their lives for each other multiple times. The fact that we never got to see the Symbiote trying to save Flash and failing, or being asked what they thought about the situation, or even being allowed to grieve. It will forever rub me the wrong way. Not to mention the weak excuse: Oh thereās still trace amounts of Anti-Venom in your system, itāll kill the Symbiote. Bullshit. Eddie had trace amounts of worse in his system for the whole first half of Venom 2016, and Venom took over Eddie who was 100% Anti-Venom during Spider-Island without any negative repercussions. It was a bullshit excuse, to lead to a bullshit death, that never should have happened. Those two were partners and friends and you expect me to believe that Venom would just sit back and watch Flash die after everything they had been through together and not attempt to save him? No way. Venom would at least try.
