It doesn't take an expert to point out the plentiful and catastrophic flaws in Sony's Spider-Man universe. The SSU has been profitable to date, but every entry has suffered diminishing returns. Its critical reception has been much more consistent, unseating the Transformers franchise as this decade's go-to worst blockbuster brand. Venom is the standout, but its sequel raised questions of longevity. Venom: The Last Dance will cap off the trilogy, but will it lead to anything further, or is Sony selling another project on false promises?
