In this video, we're diving deep into the six-year disaster of Sony's Spider-Man Universe to answer one fundamental question: How do you build a superhero franchise around Spider-Man's greatest villains without Spider-Man? We're conducting a full autopsy on a corporate graveyard that mistook a legal contract for creative storytelling. Starting with the accidental, Tom Hardy-fueled miracle of the 2018 original, we'll break down how Sony confused an eccentric buddy comedy for a universe-building blueprint. From the neutered, PG-13 chaos of Let There Be Carnage and the internet-breaking double-flop of Morbius, to the staggering incompetence of Madame Web and the lion-blood absurdity of Kraven the Hunter, we'll trace the complete downfall of a franchise built on hubris, B-list vigilantes, and falling Pepsi signs.
