* FandomRivalry: With some fans of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, at least in regards to those who enjoy Creator/TomHolland's [[Film/SpiderManHomeTrilogy Spider-Man films]], as they feared it could cause Sony to revoke Spider-Man's permission to be in the MCU if were successful enough (which, surely enough, turned out to be the case briefly after the release of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' before the deal with Creator/MarvelStudios was renewed). The existence of these movies also means that fan-favorite characters like Venom are now unusable in the MCU, where many feel that the characters would receive a much better adaptation due to Marvel Studios' generally better track record. [[spoiler:And even with TheStinger of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' teasing that the MCU ''will'' have its own version of Venom in the future, the fact that this was only able to happen because Tom Hardy's version of the character left behind a part of the symbiote in that universe had plenty of fans feeling conflicted about the explicit connection.]] The fact that Sony's [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries previous attempt]] at creating a SharedUniverse revolving around only Spider-Man and his associated characters died with its second film hasn't helped, especially since the SSU goes one step further than that and ''removes Spider-Man entirely'' from these characters' backstories, despite many of them, like Venom, ''requiring his involvement in order to even exist''. This rivalry increased after [[spoiler:Creator/MichaelKeaton's Vulture from ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' appeared in the mid-credits scenes of ''Film/{{Morbius|2022}}'' as a consequence of the events in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', with them being one of many who hated the the idea since it felt like Sony was trying hard to make more connections to the MCU regardless of plot holes it causes and also prevents the character making a reappearance in future MCU Spider-Man films]]. This continued when it was announced that Donald Glover would portray Hypno-Hustler in the SSU, which seemingly might end any hopes of him returning as the Prowler in the MCU, having played Aaron Davis in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming''.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Some fans will admit to watch the Venom movies less because they find the plot or the superheroe-related stuff interesting and because they enjoy the Venom/Eddie dynamic.

* SoOkayItsAverage: In the most generous reviews, the movies of the SSU are just considered mediocre, being very typical beat-for-beat regurgitations of "pragmatic superhero origin" movies, once you take away the vague Spider-Man periphery connecting the movies, with frequent criticisms that they feel like they're riding on a trend about fifteen or twenty years too late ([[Film/Daredevil2003 a trend]] [[Film/Catwoman2004 which]] [[Film/{{Hulk}} was]] [[Film/{{Elektra}} rarely]] [[Film/FantasticFourDuology done]] [[Film/GhostRiderDuology well to]] [[Film/ThePunisher2004 begin]] [[Film/PunisherWarZone with]]) and don't really stand out from said trend outside of using Spider-Man characters.

* WinBackTheCrowd: The announcement of a ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'' tv series earned far more excitement amongst fans than many of the planned SSU films, for finally focusing on a popular character that many have wanted to see adapted into live-action. The series being set in a different universe to the main reality of the SSU, therefore reducing any connection to the films, and the casting of Creator/NicolasCage, who voiced the character in the ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse Spider-Verse]]'' films, also got people even more excited for the series.
