I totally understand what you are saying about the new villain replacements. Some if not all of them were unnecessary and just not as good as the originals. However the comic universes have to go through changes at times, some changes bring about brilliant characters that you will follow from now until the day you die, while others you wish you could forget.

The point of those new characters is to keep things fresh and new, and to give both the readers new and old and the writers a chance to make an impact with their own input and unique twists.

I will admit, Venom(Brock), was and has been one of my favorite Spiderman villains of all-time. And that will never change. But I've enjoyed what they have been doing with Anti-Venom and what they did with MacGargan as Venom. Change is inevitable, the success of such change is what we the fans determine.
