Bendis. It's always Bendis. When he stole Flash Venom for his shitty GotG team, he tried to retcon the symbiotes into being peace loving Green Lantern knock offs and the Venom symbiote was only evil because homesickness. The Knull/Klyntar shit was course correction because EVERYONE fucking hated Bendis' idea.
