Marvel accidentally created the biggest problem for Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
Four solo movies later, and he still doesn't have a single iconic Spider-Man villain that's actually his.
Vulture's conflict was because of Tony Stark. Mysterio wanted revenge on Iron Man. No Way Home brought back Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Electro, Lizard and Sandman but they all belonged to other universes, not the MCU's Peter Parker.
Then Brand New Day doubled down on the problem by making the main threats mutant/X-Men characters instead of classic Spider-Man villains. Even if the movie works, it's another film where Peter isn't building rivalries with his own rogues gallery.
Now Marvel has backed itself into a corner. Peter has already met versions of Norman Osborn, Otto Octavius and Curt Connors, so introducing traditional MCU versions with the same emotional connections won't have the same impact.
Spider-Man's greatest strength has always been his villains. Four movies in, Tom Holland is still borrowing everyone else's.
