>>149236283The problem with Symbiote lore is that it is not only detached from Spider-Man, but fails to adhere to Marvel's brand of capeshit storytelling (grounding genre fiction and putting it into a real world context)
>Keep Klyntar and keep Knull, but make it all feel real and believable: if you were to remove the sci-fi aspects, the core emotional conflict would still remain intact. Personally, I'd make Knull into the equivalent of a Boomer dad who is super into heavy metal and is an obnoxious shitty parent. Take Eddie's cornball traits and dial it up further, and slap that onto a cosmic god. Make the conflict stem from Knull exploiting his children and hating the idea of seeing them as people with feelings, while the Venom symbiote struggles with wanting attention from its father.
