In Spider-Man 2 Yuri Watanabe debuts as Wraith, going from cop to vigilante in a character arc that is shallow, frustrating, and odd. How did we get here and why does it feel so strange? #spiderman2 #spiderman2ps5

I believe I know how she got away with the bar murders. She probably went into the bar in uniform or just had a badge on her, and everyone there, being a villain, instantly knew she was a cop and attacked. She went looking for a fight with criminals and used her power as a policeman to get away with it. This is probably why Spiderman doesn't hold it against her, especially since it was her vs. an entire bar

I'll admit, I expected Yuri to have a different role in Spider Man 2, actually coming into play in the main campaign; as the symbiote was pushing Peter in a more aggressive, violent direction, I expected Yuri, who had done that exact descent without the symbiote, would serve as the Devil on Peter's shoulder, perhaps in direct contrast to Miles as the Angel on his shoulder.

Yuri is a cop, her skills don't make sense but her mindset does. Cops in real life do not behave like they do on Copaganda shows. They are already one step away from punisher mentality, there is offical police merch you can buy with a punisher logo and blue flag spin. Her mindset is realistic to me if you understand American policing is just another Gang activity. Her skills make zero sense unless she is a suprise attacker🤷🏾‍♀️

There’s a minor detail in the main campaign when Doc Ock releases Devil’s Breath that could’ve been a good catalyst for Yuri’s turn to an anti-hero if handled a bit differently . A phone call with Spider-Man reveals she’s caring for her mother who’s been afflicted with the virus. I seem to recall later conversations revealing her mother made it out alive when the vaccine got administered. A simple change would be to have her mother die. Maybe Yuri acts stoic about it at first to not show any vulnerability while the city’s in crisis, but then her anguish gets expanded on in the DLC wherein Hammerhead killing her men sends her over the edge with the rationale of crime taking everything from her. Having her mother die from Devil’s Breath would give her some parallels with Spider-Man who also lost Aunt May to the disease. From there the story can play out largely the same and maybe have her main targets be Remnants of the Crime families which would eventually drive most of them out of NY for good in the same brutal fashion she displayed when she becomes Wraith. Doing this can give her justification on her methods and give her the same dynamic with Spider-Man that Red Hood does with Batman, thereby having enough tension to facilitate conflict and cooperation depending on the circumstances they find each other in.

I think even a slight inflection change on the discussion about Li could've helped, if Yuri sounded frustrated, that she believed what Spidey was saying, but was shackled by the rules, requiring solid evidence to move on him, could help show the frustrations that could bubble over.

If you ask me it's pretty simple: Just have Wraith be actively involved in the black suit arc where she teams up with a Spider-Man who's increasingly angry and violent, which works on her favor at first, she's thrilled that whatever this new suit is, it's finally making him see things her way, even if his lack of jokes kinda creep her out. But it keeps escalating, and Yuri starts to see all the worst traits of herself in Spider-Man, and once there's some kind of breaking point where does something that shocks even her, it's when it finally hits her: Oh god, what is he doing... *Oh God what am I doing?* Doesn't need to be exactly like this obviously, I'm barely awake and haven't gotten around to writing a fic for these two yet, but I genuinely think not involving Yuri in Peter's downfall to the symbiote was the biggest missed opportunity for these two's relationship and Yuri's character.

I felt happy that I finally got to shut her up because she was just such a painful character to watch. They really should’ve made her sympathetic rather than someone who flip-flops between being a psycho killer who will leave her victim tied up in gruesome ways and someone is a flawless vigilante.

Yuri - like a lot of things in the Insomniac verse, now that I think about it - feels like lightning in a bottle for the first game. None of her appearances since the first game's base campaign have been anywhere near as solid, even with how small her role was. I'm still convinced that the DLCs, spinoff game and sequel were written by different teams than the first, because everything after it has just felt off to me and Yuri's character is a great encapsulation of this. From reliable side character to a rushed fall from grace arc to dull-as-dishwater vigilante with a bad haircut.

Something that I would note with the Bar With No Name massacre, is the difference in attacks, based on her previous scene, Yuri attacked with a sable rifle, and the infiltration mission establishes that patrons of the bar are required to disarm before entering, assuming Yuri got through the door before anyone could be alerted, she had a deadly weapon and her opponents were unarmed and she was between them and their guns, whereas Spidey will most likely have gone in brawling given the tight space of the bar restricting his standard, more mobile strategy most advantages he would normally have would be lost, leaving just his advanced strength, which he would then have to limit to avoid killing people not to mention that, as we can see from trying to defend the mixer later in the DLC, enemies will likely have been able to slip past Spidey to get to their guns, making the battle even harder.

It makes sense if you consider the fact that the more likely catalyst for her transformation and face-heel turn was guilt and self-hatred that she redirected outward toward Hammerhead and Spidey. It wasn't about people doing bad things in her city, it was her failure to keep her people safe and her recontextualizing it as being a failure of the laws/rules/book rather than strictly her own that led to her surmising that she should work outside said law to get things done. It's self-satisfaction, essentially. A tragedy is a tragedy in general, but a tragedy you caused yourself is a disaster that you need to live with. Some do it better than others.

I don't know if you saw the leaks - but recently, someone was able to dig up the WIP outline for Spider-Man 2 from before the pivot to what we got. Given how thoroughly things changed in less ideal directions (the original outline explains Harry and Venom far better, Kraven wasn't even a factor to the plot, etc.), I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a firm plan for Wraith that got either muddled in the editing process or to satisfy the ESRB or an executive who felt it might go too dark. It's also worth noting that originally, Cletus was supposed to be the central threat for the post-launch DLC, which may have further altered how things progress.

Wraith could've worked better if she was an assassin who would fight in the dark using stealth and the element of surprise to make up for her lack of superpowers. Plus it would make sense for the name "Wraith", which is said to be an apparition that appears before someone's death. Sure it might still be a bit much for a cop, but it would make more sense than suddenly swinging around a ninja thing when before that she just used guns.

The worst part is that of the whole Wraith arc is that Peter let's her go. She is a murderer, not only did she admit it herself, but we have seen her victims before lmao and Peter just let's her go. So ... I guess murdering people is fine as long as you consider them bad and as long as you are Spider-man's friend than laws don't apply to you. If you think it's okay criminals then how about cultists who are literally VICTIMS of a cult that indoctrinated them, the same VICTIMS who Yuri leaves to die. All of this is especially stupid considering how one of the main themes of the game is supposed to be REDEMPTION and Yuri is literally someone who leaves people no chance at redemption.

@@user-mj9ec8jv1b none of these are good excuses for Insomniac IMO to slack so hard here, it feels like they completely butchered Yuri from the first game, like they took a crap on her, but then also got Spider-man all covered in shit, because he had to interact with her, but they couldn't have him beat her up for murdering people for plot reasons. As for the Punisher we have never seen him in this universe, so it's irrelevant. I see people bring up comics to excuse bad writing on Insomniacs part, but I really don't see how bad or inconsistent writing in comics gives you a pass on your bad\ inconsistent writing. The thing is, you could make it work even if he let's her go, you could maybe spin it into a direction where you show that Peter ain't perfect and he can be biased and morally corrupt or indecisive when he has to confront his former ally or something, but that is not something that we ever see touched upon thematically, their conflict is just brushed under the rug. Maybe they will fix that in the DLC, but as far as the main game goes the whole Wraith thing feels very undercooked and rushed. I also got no clue how she became so crazy OP jumping on top of buildings and shit, that's just insane, but alright whatever. I agree with your assessment, you are right, I just don't think it's an excuse.

Since this universe is happy to play a bit more fast and loose with characters origins and identity’s, venom not being eddy and peter still being alive when miles shows up as Spider-Man to name a few (these are good things that make this universe unique and interesting not everything needs to be like the comics). They probably would have been better making her agent venom or something like that instead of wraith. Like maybe in the second game and first game dlc start showing her anger and powerlessness to save her fellow officers then she gets a symbiot and has that power (plus her personality change makes more sense because of how they mess with your mind) and since she’s a badass weapons expert her having armour and guns like agent venom would make sense. But that’s just me making a very half baked idea.

@@blistow3519 He sucks for multiple reasons. 1: Harry as Venom here has no real beef with Peter, he just wants to "Heal the World". It's just a very cliche villain thing at this point, as well as being overly dramatic. Venom's whole thing is that he has a deep, petty hatred towards Peter Parker and wants to hurt and kill him. He doesn't give a fuck about taking over the world, he has a more personal and grounded motivation. 2: Venom isn't a monster who takes over the host's body, it is something they BOTH want and agree too. So no "He has no control over his actions, it's the suit". Uh no, it's definitely a shared decision. 3: Venom has a personality. He absorbed more than Peter's memories and powers, he even got his sense of humour. So Venom would normally be able to rival Peter's quippage and mocking. Basically, he has a personality. 4: Venom isn't supposed to have such a deep connection to Norman Osborn, they have pretty much no connection whatsoever. 5: The fuck you mean "Look at No Way Home"? No Way Home was great. And the hell? It absolutely used villains that we wanted, or you gonna pretend that Green Goblin and Doc Ock, especially the Raimi versions are not beloved. Unlike THIS which wastes both Venom and Kraven. And no, the story absolutely did NOT work. They rushed so many plot lines, forced in a stupid Symbiote Invasion, nerfed Peter Parker, made Miles Morales irrelevant in the story, made MJ an annoying John Wick knockoff bitch, and killed off so many villains OFF-SCREEN just to make Kraven look cool

@@spider-man500 As I said, I personally dislike Venom and all the knock-off Venom characters, so I didn’t like this game anyway. But god, does it hurt to see how dumb basically everything you said is. YES, this version of Venom isn’t the version you like, but all these things he has been in the comics multiple times. Like most comic characters, Venom has been around for a long while and has evolved and changed quite a bit. Not every version of Venom has that jokey personality, and they don’t need to; this game wouldn’t be enhanced by having Venom be his usual annoying self (also, the character will almost definitely evolve into that with his spin-off game that’s called character evolution). But yeah, this game does suffer from not being a story about Peter and Miles working together and teaming up; instead, choosing to be a very Peter-heavy story. As I said, I don’t wholly disagree with you. Still, if you’re angry because Venom isn’t comic-accurate when he is accurate, just not to the comics you like, then I don’t know what to say (note that Venom is more in line with this ultimate universe version who guess what, has links to oscorp and Norman Osborn. It’s also not a surprise they took inspiration from that version, as a lot of this universe is inspired by Ultimate because that’s the comic line that invented Miles as a character) Finally, no way home is a shit movie, yes, I love the Raimi version of the character, but in this movie, they are just hollow shells of their once great selves. It’s a storyline full of plot holes and inconsistencies, which makes no sense in its movie, let alone the wider MCU it’s set in. The movie entirely relies on its fan service at the expense of storytelling. It makes no logical sense for characters to be saying their most quoted meme lines, but they do it to get the audience wanking in their seats. The movie has multiple moments where characters just kind of pause so the audience can cheer and clap. You are the prime example of a brain-dead moviegoer if you think no way home is anything above mediocre. No Way Home is nothing more than another prime example of how Sony clearly doesn’t know how to handle the live-action spider man license anymore

For a slight defence of the Bar with No Name scene, Spider-man would have been going at it non-lethally, and there could have been some supervillains in the bar at the time as opposed to Yuri going guns blazing with regular maggia thugs. But everything else is very accurate. Unless she got some enhancements, there's no way she should be able to do a handspring that goes to the top of a building. The Flame missions just felt like they should have been main missions. Especially when the symbiote is involved and Peter is getting more aggressive with his pre-existing thoughts of killing his villains bubbling up because the symbiote sees that as the easiest solution to all the problems Peter is facing. That could lead to a cool moment where Peter shows that he gets the whole "killing criminals" mentality and starts to get more comfortable with the notion beyond the final mission with the Black Suit. And Yuri would start to push back against it, she believes in her own philosophy and methods (it would be no different than a regular cop shooting at a super villain or a criminal that's attacking them), but she also believes in what Spider-man stands for. While she has different methods, she'll always still respect his instead of berating him for not killing. That's what she doesn't kill anyone while she teams up with him, because she knows that's not how he roles and is willing to set aside her methods out of respect and not making an enemy out of Spider-man in the middle of a fight. Instead, the Flame missions are side content that always feel like they're time sensitive side missions activating right alongside time sensitive main missions. It always feels like it's a choice between one or the other gameplay/narrative wise, but it's never the case outright (Meet up with Yuri to investigate the Flame, or follow Black cat's lead on Tombstone who's life is on the line. Meet up with Yuri at the hospital, or get the Lizard serum to EMF to make a cure. etc). Even the final mission is set at night but is activated during the day with Peter establishing a sense of urgency. And it's definitely meant to be played before he gets the anti-venom suit because of the focus on the suit damage and lack of symbiote abilities used to derail the train (which would come in handy). Compare that to the side missions in the first two games and how there could be an order to them that flows the bets narratively. Or how the side content never gave off the sense of urgency that makes it feel like a main mission while not being a main mission.

I found it weird how in the span of a single year, she went from a mostly average cop to someone capable of going head to head with Spidey, even if he probably is greatly holding back. What type of parkour training was she up to, and no one noticed some lady swinging around with a knife on a chain? And she came back to New York instead of perhaps killing in a few places NOT watched over by Spider-Man? And if she REALLY wanted it to not be a big thing, she shouldn't have taken off her mask to reveal herself to Spidey when they reunited, it would've made for a deeper impact if like say, after a while and during the boss fight, she makes these vague and personal insults and criticisms about how Spidey does things, and how it seemingly always never seems to fully work, hinting at their shared past, then she could finally say something like "Old Friend" which is what Yuri said to Spidey in that final phone call in the previous game. Or he knocks her mask off and SURPRISE (but not really if you know even a bit of lore about Wraith, or just recognize her voice) it's Yuri, gone down a dark path. Oh man, imagine the whole scenario, but she came at a bad time and had to deal with SYBIOTE Spider-Man, lol. That would've made for a rude awakening

If you put, like, Taskmaster in her place, and changed nothing else, it would actually make *more* sense than this, provided you save Wraith for the third game. They should've really committed to her being fucked up. Let her be a maniac, let her be hard to redeem. Idk man, it's such a shame that a character I found so interesting got flipped into something else at the worst time. At least they did right by Tombstone and Mysterio, giving them some proper evolution. Even if it was mostly off-camera, at least there was still some information given to you, one way or another.

5:07, Yuri turning on Peter and eventually coming to blows with him in her fits of rage could have been used way more effectively in the context of Peter having the Venom suit. He’s already been betrayed by someone else who misdirected their frustrations onto him in the form of Otto. Similar to Otto, she arrogantly dismisses Peter’s help as a hindrance and erroneously deems him to be a problem. But also just like Otto, Peter trusted Yuri to be a better person than she actually was. It would have been so cathartic for a Venom infused Peter to finally snap, having been betrayed by Martin Li, Otto and now Yuri. Just like Martin and Otto, he respected and admired her, he saw her as a decent, honorable person, but she was corrupted just like they were, driven mad by insecurity and hatred while promoting her vengeful ways as true justice. She turned on her friend on a dime out of a feeling of powerlessness and overcompensated for it by becoming a murderous vigilante. If Venom amplifying Peter’s own insecurity and rage factored into this story, it could have likely given it more weight when Yuri demonstrates she isn’t completely a lost cause, such as having Peter become angered by Yuri attacking him and dismissing the notion of trusting him, wherein he would confront her on how her becoming this vigilant hurt him, how he trusted her to be better than this and she let him down. It would have utilized the Venom suit in an intriguing way and also give Yuri a tangible reason for later helping Peter, as he forces her to reexamine what she’s allowed herself to turn into instead of her simply deciding to save him after previously attempting to kill him in a frenzied rage without any sense of self reflection over how she’d treated him. On the Venom suit side, it would further demonstrate Venom’s influence on Peter as it erodes his patience and compassion and brings him closer to becoming just like what Yuri has turned into and perhaps seeing Peter briefly succumb to his rage, something she’s never seen him exhibit before would be what snaps her out of her murderous trance when Peter, under the influence of Venom, nearly kills her and threatens to bring her to police (a call back to her threat to arrest him when he tried to stop her from going after Hammerhead).

the reason she is able to kill everyone in the bar with no name is Because in the previous vist it shows your not allowed to bring weapons into the bar so yuri while yuri did so it's a bunch of guys trying to fight someone with a weapon it wasn't going to end well and as for over all Yuri states her mother was sick during devils breath and just as everything starts to go back to normal her fellow cops are killed in front of her as she has to call all their familes and as she tries to bring hammerhead to justice as shown on the tapes her friend is killed by hammerhead again showing her being pushed to her breaking although i do agree it should have been spread out more i think it's fine as is as for her change to from spider-man 1 to spider-man 2 i think it's more of she calmed down after hammerhead's arrest and y'know how spider-man is he always tries to see the good in people so i dont think he forgot i think he just wants to give wraith a second chance

I think she could have been used in a much stronger narrative way. She should have directly affected the main story with her influence over Peter in the symbiote. I would have liked a sin-eater incorporation somehow. They could have combined Carnage and Sin-Eater as one too

Besides not having Yuri be a vigilante who develops into such in side story. They could have used her path to redemption in Spider-Man 2 as part of helping Peter on his road back after being effected by the Venom symbiote.

I feel like Yuri should’ve became Wraith in Marvel Spider man 3 while in 2 you could have a side mission were the dlc could’ve been and granted the Marvel spider man 1 DLC granted at the same time I feel like this shouldn’t have happened in the DLC since it felt out of place for her as a side mission character

Being totally honest, a lot of the Spider-Man comics give this sorta waffley going-nowhere-fast vibe. Especially in the 90s and forward. They reached a point where recharacterizing major villains and side characters was a common occurrence in order to keep the status quo intact across decades of character "growth". And of course they've infamously reset Pete himself a few times too. It's really strange to see this in a shorter, more focused story here though.

Without doing a full rewrite to make the whole story better, the fight witu Wraith should have been akin to the fight with Harley in the Arkham Games. Spider-Man immediately incapacitating her, demonstrating she might outclass these regular street goons but she is out of her league against someone who has been doing this for years and actually has super powers.

Biggest problem is the side questline with her and Cletus doesn't take into account the Black Suit at all. If Peter started becoming darker and more violent in a longer questline due to the symbiote it could hv help her see how far she herself had fallen. To the point that the boss fighta happens not because he tried to stop her, but because he tried to kill Cletus and she is trying to stop him.

‼️Read This ‼️ In the DLC it is mentioned when clearing out the maggia bases that Hammerhead have had a long history together and that he was always the #1 person on her criminal list. Later, she witnesses her men die in a horrific way by hammerhead, as well as the death of an officer who saved her life by turning hammerheads attention from Yuri to himself and this caused his death. After that she had to call every man’s family and tell them about what happened which can’t be easy. And if you actually listen to the recordings of the tapes that she leaves in the final act, she witnesses the death of a therapist she was talking to and who was trying to help her by the maggia criminal, who she later killed and who we can see tied up with a bag on his head. After she killed him she realized how much better it felt than locking him away and having the possibility of him breaking out of Ryker’s or the Raft like in the main story. So I feel like it’s unfair to say she underwent through no character development

The thing that made me not like her is that she will never high five you after you help her stop a crime and she is just unreasonably cold to spider-man even after you finish her side missions

I agree with the point of the development being kinda rushed, but it makes sense, hammerhead he wiped out her entire squad of cops, and you hear her get more and more upset over the course of the dlc. Cassidy got away because Spider-Man wouldn’t let Yuri end him, he obviously would’ve been better off dead. You gotta suspend your belief sometimes, I honestly don’t care how she got ninja skills lmao Issa game

Spiderman 1 was just way too peak, And still is the best Spiderman game, even before miles. The story was so different aside from the films and gave a dynamic experience in the console gaming industry. The characters were on point and made sense throughout the gameplay who they were and how they are affiliated with Spider-Man. The gameplay didn’t feel rushed but thoughtful knowing what the industry would want.

I find the no kill thing so painful sometimes. It’s something that makes a character like spiderman so great so I don’t think it’s bad but when it’s so rushed and not really interesting and focuses around a dude who is about be carnage, and absolute freak, it just doesn’t feel good. It’s like a cartoon character talking to a soldier in the middle of a warzone.

I dont mind the rush or change for her. But they didn't show any flashback or MORE MISSIONS to explain her story, which just makes me mad.
