There Was A Time Before Marvel Was Hollywood’s Golden Child
With critical praise and box-office success, Spider-Man: Homecoming is another success for the Marvel. Not just the MCU but for the brand as a whole. In theory, when one does well so do the others. But the same can be said about failures. Sometimes one major mistake can trickle down and hurt others.
This list will be a mix of entire films, franchises, or moments that stink up the joint. Buckle up because this will be a bumpy ride.
8. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
– Personally, I don’t hate Spider-Man 3 as much as most fans. Being a fan of director Sam Raimi, this is the type of cheesy humor one would expect. Does it work for Marvel’s biggest superhero? Obviously not. Did this franchise need an emo Peter Parker dancing like a fool? No. Sadly, this became a big downfall for on-screen Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 3 contains a plethora of issues. One of the most glaring issues is the inclusion of so many villains. Something even Spider-Man: Homecoming didn’t fix. This movie has Venom, Sand-Man, and Green Goblin all trying to kill Spider-Man…it’s overkill! One villain can’t get over when you have another one you have to build. Add in the fact that nearly every character is cringy and you can see why this is so hated.
