If Insomniac adds too many different story arcs to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the finished game could risk being overstuffed like Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. 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.
