It also suffers from the problem where the villains have legitimate grievances but for nonsensical reasons they go too far in order for the audience to see them as the villains.

Spiderman is basically defending Norman Osborn through the whole game, which is kind of fucked. He never questions if he's on the right side either or even acknowledge it.

Especially fucked reading Osborn as a standin for capitalists when the villain is "negativity" so it's basically implying that negativity about capitalism is a bigger threat.

People on Rikers island free themselves and a good portion of the game has you beating them up and essentially sending them back to prison. That was stomach churning.

Class Traitor Spider-Man: The Game

It also manages to have both Chinese and Russian villains in the same story lol

It was like a lib brain worm speedrun lol. I couldn't believe it when the first thing targeted by the Chinese mask gang was Norman Osborn's campaign offices. "Oh no masked Chinese villains are attacking liberal democracy" like it's Norman Osborn just let them do it lol
