In an ironic twist of fate, 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would similarly end its own series by struggling to balance too many disparate plotlines in a doomed effort to set up an expanded Spider-Man cinematic universe to compete with the MCU. Many of these plots were rushed and underdeveloped, and the resulting backlash against Spider-Man 3 eventually led to the Spider-Man film series being rebooted. Within roughly two-and-a-half hours, Spider-Man 3 tries to juggle Peter being infected by the Black Symbiote Suit, his relationship troubles with Mary-Jane, Mary Jane’s floundering acting career, Harry Osborn looking to avenge his father’s death as the New Goblin, Flint Marko becoming the Sandman, and Eddie Brock becoming Venom. 2007’s Spider-Man 3 movie remains a divisive entry in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man film series for many reasons, the most noteworthy of which being that the movie simply has too many characters and subplots for its own good. With all these possible plotlines being introduced or coming to a head in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, it feels like the next Spider-Man game could repeat a critical mistake from previous Spidey media.
