Episode: How Spider-Man 3 Broke Its Own Trilogy (and what marketers can learn from it)

Spider-Man 3 is one of the clearest examples of what happens when a story tries to serve too many goals at once.
Three villains. Three tones. Three mandates.
One movie that collapses under its own “must-haves.”

And the same problem shows up in marketing:
landing pages, campaigns, messaging, strategy.
When everything becomes important… nothing converts.

✅ What you’ll learn

• Why overloaded stories (and strategies) collapse
• How “direction by committee” destroys clarity
• The landing-page lesson hiding inside Spider-Man 3
