Yup... or they could've separated Hybrid from his mass of symbiotes and just created new hosts; an all NEW symbiote really wasn't necessary.
(Sides, didn't the Venom symbiote tell Brock that it's race only reproduced once per generation... are we to believe a generation is only about 10-15 years long?)
Who knows? They really are an incredibly alien species.
Now considering that fact that Venom had 5 symbiote "seeds" left over after spawning Carnage, I find it hard to believe that symbiotes only ever have one offspring as was implied.
The statement itself can be reinterperted any number of ways, but it does leave me with the interesting feeling that the Venom symbiote was not particularly well informed about it's own species reproduction.
edited 1:40 for typo.
Or... maybe the Foundation just took EVERY seed the Symbiote could have EVER spawned in it's lifetime... kinda like it has a set amount from it's birth and however long it takes them all to spawn from it is however long it takes.
The "generation" thing interested me; the way the aliens are, does the generation refer to their hosts, or a set number of years? I'd think a being that LIVES to coexist with others would somehow factor that into how many offspring it can safely have...
