Spider-Man DLC: 10 Things The City That Never Sleeps Must Include
3. Flashbacks From Before Harry 'Left'
Insomniac
Although part of the joy of discovering Insomniac's world lies in all the unspoken history contained within, when it comes to the relationship between Harry Osborn, Mary Jane and Peter Parker, it's definitely worth exploring further.
Everyone is familiar with this particular friendship dynamic, but something that really hammered home the tragedy of Harry's condition would really help flesh out the story and ensure that, by the time he inevitably returns in the sequel, the impact can be felt to its fullest.
The main story was full of anecdotes all about Peter, MJ and Harry's high school and university days, and though you can really sense the nostalgia in every line, having players actually revisit these experiences first hand - even if only for a brief amount of time - would add even more depth to a dynamic already rich with drama.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
