He sabotaged the character to spite the studio.

Nope.

And before you you try to argue that Sam Raimi couldn't be that petty, he literally had Freddy Krueger's glove stolen from the set of one of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels so that he could use it in the Evil Dead sequel to imply the Deadites had killed Freddy.

I've no doubt a man who is capable of property theft for an act of spite would be fully capable of intentionally miscasting an actor out of spite

Literally nothing about that is spiteful and everything is awesome. You're trying to assign some kind of hatred for Freddy in him doing that, and that just isn't the case.

Go watch The Quick and the Dead if you don't think Sam Raimi knows how to juggle a bunch of characters in one movie.

It's not the number of characters, it's the tone of Venom. Raimi was adapting the silver age comics, because that's what he grew up with and loved. Venom not only doesn't fit in with the silver age, but Venom is one of the things that officially killed it. He is the antithesis to that cheesy feel.
