(Even though the symbiotes being an "honorable and proud race...", a complete 180 degree spin from what we have seen from the last 20 years or so of symbiotes, who up to that point were far from honorable, and were mostly creatures who drove their hosts mad and were full of murderous intent was pretty bad, the Angela retcon was far worse.)

I agree those were both horrible retcons. They castrated Venom (and all symbiotes really) and made it so that it might as well NOT have been Angela they introduced after AoU. Also both of these managed to lower the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Angela reveal wasn't even in that book, I'll say it again GotG volume 3 was pretty bad overall. Bendis was a very poor follow-up to DnA. Eddie Brock and MacGargan will always be the better Venoms.
