How many different movie franchises are we seeing pumping out stuff at the rate of Marvel, taking shortcuts to try and build their universe off of characters that no one (in the general audience not comic fans) has a vested interest in? It's my complaint about the DCU and it's my complaint about Sony's Spider-Man universe.or whatever it is trying to be. Sure superhero movies are first and foremost action movies, visual and special effects buffets. But if you don't care about the characters, you're ultimately not going to be left feeling empty. No matter how many virtual crab rangoons you eat. And without movies doing the heavy lifting of character development before tossing out tons of spin offs, that's all there is. Empty visual calories.

I think once Venom drops people will realize that Sony has no real interest in putting in the effort to do good world-building, they just want that sweet sweet "connected universe" money and are hoping once they can get a couple flicks in the can that they can take Spider-Man back from Disney and do their own universe and not haveta share profits haha
