The biggest twist wasn’t even the multiverse stuff but the fact that the whole trilogy was actually the origin story for this Peter

[TheSt]

I like the way Andrew's Peter sees the other Peters like brothers- the family he never knew he had.

[marklap]

If you noticed Tobey Spider-Man never let the other 2 Spider-Men beat themselves up. He’s was used to doubting himself, so he knows to give his younger multi version of himself confidence

[paladanchev]

Your explanation for why Aunt May shouldn’t have died is the very reason why killing her off makes sense. Having anyone else die wouldn’t have had the effect on Peter Parker that her death did

[boughtwithblood]

Doctor Strange was EXACTLY the same in Infinity War. He said he wouldn't hesitate to let Tony Stark and Peter die to protect the universe. He WAS just as callous. He also gave up the stone because it was the only way. Letting the universe get wiped out is pretty callous of you ask me. He's pragmatic. That's his character.




Edit: Thanks for all the likes

Why do people throw “fan service” around like it’s a dirty word? This is an event 20 years in the making, the fans made it the success it is, why is giving them what they want a bad thing?

[cmh]

My favourite detail about Andrew saving MJ was that he swung them around mid air so that if he were to fail, he was the one to hit the ground first, giving MJ a greater chance at survival

[righteousrawb]

Andrew stole the show, Tobey gave me nostalgia and Tom earned my respect

[liamhemstock]

This film was beautiful. Andrew’s Peter becoming darker because of Gwen’s death is OUTSTANDING, him looking at Peter and MJ with a heartbroken look before being reminded by Tobey that he can find love again is brilliant.

I love the fact that “Great Power, comes Great Responsibility” connects the Peter’s just as much as their names and their masks.

Them talking about their own unique individual heartbreaks, comparing villains and Tobey and Andrew being AWFUL partners because they aren’t used to it and that’s when Holland’s Spider-Man to me establishes himself with this one moment as a different Spider-Man by becoming a leader and making them work together successfully as a team because he was an Avenger and learnt how to work in a team quickly.

The ending to this film is perfect and genuinely got me so excited for the future. An apartment, a homemade suit that looks and feels like Spider-Man, a fun swing through New York and a Spider-Boy being replaced by the Spider-Man. Peter leaving Ned and MJ after he made the world forget who Peter Parker is so he can let them live a happy life (something he always wanted for them) is perfect and a great ending to the trilogy, I expect to see them in Iron Heart as she is in MIT with them.

And yes, I want to see TASM 3.

One thing i was really surprised about, was Jameson in this movie.
In all other Movies & the Games, he is played more for laughs in my opinion, but in this movie he is pretty vicious & what he does takes a toll on Peter.

[christopherramsey]

11:34 Strange definitely was like that in Infinity War. He never agreed with sacrifice on as large of a scale as Thanos, but he did say numerous times that he would let any individual (particularly Stark) die before letting Thanos get the time stone. When he eventually did give Thanos the time stone, it was only because he looked into 14 million possible futures and saving Stark was the only way to win, not because he was against sacrifice.

Strange was definitely acting mathematically, not emotionally. The only possible winning outcome was if Stark survived, so he did what he needed to for Stark to survive. A very small chance of winning is larger than 0.

[KingEgyptian]

I'm sorry, but did you forget that Doc Ock used Aunt May as a shield against the cops and Spider-Man? Hell he even dropped her to distract Peter. Not only that but he risked half of New York due to his pride in trying to make his experiment work.

As for Dr. Strange, he's right. Why risk the multiverse for the sake of some villains? He was being logical.

And for Peter to go to Strange right away is also pretty logical too, anyone would have immediately done that. There was nothing Peter could have done, even if he tried to be responsible, the whole world was already against him.

Norman also didn't use himself as a test subject because he couldn't fathom the fact of being a failure. His entire career was in jeopardy, he only had 2 weeks for results, so he had no time to get other human test subjects. He basically took a scientific risk out of desperation.

[localnugget]

Strange had a Thanos mentality for wanting things to be the way they were “supposed” to? I completely disagree with your take on this. Strange’s rationale wasn’t that if the villains die the world will be a better place. We’re talking about the guy who looked at millions of outcomes to determine what events needed to happen in order to defeat thanos- strange understands that all events have a domino effect, and drastically changing the course of ones life (like stopping them from dying when they’re fated to die) will have consequences in a larger context. Strange was motivated by preserving the workings of destiny while thanos was motivated by the universe’s limited resources.

Honestly, I still think the first half of the film was really good and served a purpose because it allows us top contrast the more jokey, light-hearted tone of the "Home" trilogy and previews the more serious dramatic tone that we'll see in the next Tom Holland Spidey film.

The way I see it, the Homecoming trilogy is a more direct adaptation of Stan Lee's original run with Spider-Man, where the comic operated a lot more like a sitcom, and what happens in sitcoms? Everything works out by the end. Essentially, the "Home" trilogy is just updating the concept that Stan Lee first started with back when he first created Spider-Man.

No Way Home operates as a transition point that Spidey went through in the comics between the more sitcom-y high school era and the more dramatic College era. Now, the movies are free to explore that more dramatic College era of the character and I, for one, am extremely excited for it. Also, considering that the Raimi Spider-Man was more based on the College Era, it makes a lot of sense why some fans of previous incarnations of the Webhead didn't take to MCU Spidey at first.

So, I still think the movie works well and it isn't a tale of two halves. It still has moments where the pacing grinds to a halt, but I had a lot of fun with it so I don't mind it as much.

"The brilliant Spider Man Lotus"



Yikes. Didn't age well.

[jovanivanov]

That Spider-Man Lotus line aged like milk lmao.

[jamestolbert]

Norman was never a victim of the Goblin, the Goblin was him, it was his hubris and violent tendencies externalized

[RamChop]

Just gonna come out and say that Ben most likely passed naturally and probably peacefully. Most likely when Peter was very young, so he may have never really known him

[AntsTheaterCorner]

33:15. This was my favorite too. Garfield and Foxx have genuine love and affection for the material they're adapting and it's brilliant.

[TheSt]

I don't think the film was direspectful towards the legacy vilains at all. I think you've got got that very wrong . Yeah the Doc Ock joke wasn't great but I was baffled by your point about the legacy villains being disrespected.
