Spider-Man: Brand New Day Wastes Scorpion Return
Nine years after Mac Gargan first appeared in the MCU with heavy Scorpion teasers, Spider-Man: Brand New Day finally brings the character back—and apparently squanders the opportunity. The article warns of spoilers but makes clear that whatever payoff fans were expecting didn't quite land. It's understandable from a narrative standpoint, though no less disappointing for those who'd been waiting since his debut. MCU character resurrections don't always stick the landing, and this sounds like one of those cases.
ComicsBuzz Take
This feels like a symptom of Marvel's bloated roster problem—even secondary villains get hyped, then forgotten, then forced back in without real momentum.

"They built him up for nearly a decade just to throw him away? Classic Marvel move tbh"
