I agree with the previous posts, people say they want Venom, they want the Eddie Brock version, or the same with other 90's characters.
Hell, even i complain to myself for some choices, like Nova, Strange, Iron Fist,etc. but that's because i don't care nor i read their comics, i'm sure they have a bunch of fans waiting to try them.
tl;dr Apparently the Marvel side is aiming to please fans that READ Marvel comics, not to please the cassual "Marvel fan".
