Did Sony miss an opportunity to introduce Eddie as villain in a Spiderman movie, let him move to LA to be a lethal protector in the Venom movie and then have that same anti-hero with issues with Spidey/Peter that could team up for an Absolute Carnage type flick. With the retconned origin it seems they missed out on having their own expanded Spiderverse by separating Venom's origins from Peter. They could have at least gone the GvK route. I know Sony had visions of Peter being an Avenger running through their heads but they missed an opportunity to build their own lil mini marvel spider-verse.
