Why Wolverine’s Linear Story Could Fix Insomniac’s Writing Issues

Happy New Year boys and girls! As we enter 2026 the hype for Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5 is at an all-time high. But after the experience of Spider-Man 2 many fans are asking one major question. Will Wolverine avoid the safe HR-approved writing that held back Peter Parker’s latest journey?

In this video we dive deep into why the writing in Spider-Man 2 felt hollow compared to the emotional masterpiece that was the first game. We discuss the forced MJ super spy missions the rushed pacing of the symbiote arc and why every character suddenly sounds like they are in a corporate meeting.

But there is hope. With Walt Williams leading the narrative and a confirmed Rated M linear structure we discuss why Wolverine will likely bring back the soul and grit that Insomniac is known for. Is Logan the redemption arc Insomniac desperately needs? Let’s talk about it.

What we discuss in this video

1 Why Spider-Man 1 had a rooh or soul that SM2 lacked 2 The problem with making MJ a tactical super spy 3 Why the Let’s Go moment in the symbiote arc felt so rushed 4 How a linear story will make Wolverine better than an open world 5 Why Walt Williams and a Rated M rating are the best signs for Logan
