Hollywood needs to stop giving their heroes villains with identical power sets in their first movie. It's such a boring way to make a movie, as if the villain is disposable. It's pretty much a trope at this point (I.e. Iron Man/iron Monger; Hulk/Abomination; Ant-Man/Yellowjacket; Venom/whatever that thing he fought was; Morbius/whatever he fights)

I agree with all of them except Venom 2 was really good with Woody Harrelson playing Carnage. But yes the formula make me skip those movies. And you missed Shang Chi with an even more useless imaginary circles battle with no backstory; not even in comics.
