I feel like Flash Thompson becoming Agent Venom was another example of this, some random dude from Spider-Man's history being powered up, rather than a new character being introduced. As a fan of more modern original characters, this trend of picking random side-characters / girlfriends introduced in the seventies and powering them up (usually with the same powers as the characters whose books they once showed up in, like She-Thor Jane, She-Spider Gwen, She-Iron Pepper, etc.) is kinda boring.
There are ways in which a character could have thematically similar or related powers, without just being the same as the super-dude they used to date. Jane becoming a Valkyrie is one step in a better direction, but Pepper having a different role (such as her Hera role during The Order series) or Gwen using technology like the spider-slayer suit to compensate for not having actual powers, would be more interesting to me than just exactly copying the menfolk.
