Comics/Manga So that's where Captain Alliance is from (Queen in Black #1)

Bit blatant a Captain America in space but kinda charming and we've already had a Captain of Britain, Canada, the Soviet Union so it's not like the worst angle to go for. Plus I do like a proper Skrull superhero, kinda wish it was Virtue but his story does sorta have a proper end as like a pacifist christian charity Superman so I can see why you'd rather not bring him back.

Also Knull's back and all white and blue now, the Space God of Light or something.

If nothing else, I kinda like seeing VenoMary Jane out and about. The idea of Peter's exes working together has grown on me

Listen, i know Knull's fuckin stupid and we're all supposed to hate Knull but i love Knull, Knull is so cool. He perfectly scratches that dumb edgy teenager part of my brain.

Knull is edgy and stupid but thats okay because sometimes all a villian needs to be is a simple edgy cool guy that people fight. Like I love characters like magneto and Doom as much as the next guy but sometimes all a villian needs to be is weird and evil.  

Besides Knull isn't really that much dumber than most of the symbiote retcons imo.

As an outsider, I think the issue seems to be that a lot of folks seem to want us to take this dumb, edgy villain too seriously

I mean, Venom comics as a whole are dumb edgy stuff taken too seriously, so he doesn’t really stand out. If you’re not onboard with dumb edgy stuff, Venom is not for you.

(Before someone comments, yes I know a lot of the 90s Venom miniseries are very silly. But the character’s gone in a more serious direction since then.)
