Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans wonder why Avengers didn't help fight venom

Spoiler Alert!! this article consists of spoilers for the players who haven’t reached the third act of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, specifically pertaining to the introduction of Venom in the third act of the game.

The newly launched Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has left players questioning why the responsibility to defeat Venom falls solely on Spider-Man.

The game, set in New York City, features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they swing through the iconic streets. Fans have eagerly anticipated the inclusion of Venom, as it was teased by Insomniac Games back in 2018.

In the game, Kraven the Hunter and Venom emerge as the primary antagonists, creating an engaging storyline.

As players progress through the game, it follows a standard Spider-Man adventure until the story takes a sudden turn. After Harry Osborn transforms into Venom, he embarks on a mission to “heal the world” by infecting people with the symbiote.

New York City is engulfed in the alien substance, turning countless civilians into monsters, effectively creating an alien invasion scenario. Despite the dire situation, it’s puzzling that only Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and MJ take action to thwart Venom’s plan.

One of the main questions posed by fans is why no one from SHIELD, the Avengers, or other superheroes in the Marvel universe arrives to aid in this crisis.

The game’s world clearly features references to the Avengers Tower, the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Daredevil, and other Marvel heroes operating in New York City, so their absence raises eyebrows. Players have been discussing this apparent omission, particularly the absence of the Avengers, given the gravity of the situation in the game.
