Spider-Man MUST Ditch the Multiverse

The MCU's next Spider-Man movie needs to go back to basics. Forget the multiverse, forget the gimmicks, forget MJ and Ned, even. Just give us a good Peter Parker story.

What do you want to see in the next MCU Spider-Man?

I love the idea of Peter Parker going to a community college 😂

Studios: Did you say double down on the multiverse? You got it.

I just want a street-level Spidey story. That's all i want.

[Datboi-eo]

Now that nobody knows who Peter is and he lost his Stark tech it’s perfect to make him a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

[DeepFreeze]

I feel like Peter at a Community College would be the perfect time to introduce Harry and possibly Gwen.

Remember when superheroes fought crime? Onscreen?

They need to build up NYC more. It's been a problem with the MCU the past decade. Everything feels like set pieces and not lived in worlds. Compare to Raimi Spidey where New Yorkers were helping Peter out and he was busting his ass delivering pizzas. We need that atmosphere again

[escalatingbarbarism]

Just a simple story about Peter having to balance school or work with fighting one (ONE, JUST ONE) villain. No Avengers crap. No trips to Europe. No multi-verse. No half-assed attempt at a Sinister Six.

And no, it should not be Venom.

Spiderverse movies are an example of Multiverse movies done right and executed well, and honestly I think Spiderverse should just be its own thing and not shoved everywhere else

[rorylynch]

The Multiverse works well as a concept whe used sparingly. It dilutes stakes when you overuse it. It's fun to have a team of different Spider-Men for a one off, but not a series

[blove]

From wat I understand, Feige and Marvel Studios intended for their Spider-Man 4 to be a more grounded, street level story. But Sony kept insisting on a second multiverse story for the plot just because of how well No Way Home and Across the Spider-Verse did. So u got one side trying to take a creative pivot based on how NWH ended, while the other is simply tryna make more money despite the law of diminishing returns.

What if we never get a street level spider film again?

[zacharymccoy]

They're setting up Kingpin to be a major player in the MCU going foward and he won't be a villain in Spider-man's movie? That's a huge missed opportunity.

[pedanticat]

The multiverse is both the best and worse thing to happen to Spiderman.

[jknetwork]

All I know is if I don’t see Spider-Man fight big wheel I don’t want it 🙅‍♂️

[JonoSSD]

Given how Marvel just made a big deal out of RDJ coming back as Doctor Doom, any hope I had for the MCU to not keep going through the same bits forever is long gone by now.

[StevismsWithSteven]

At the end of NWH one of the books he was reading was about studying for the GED

[joegreenwell]

For real. There’s a few good multiverse movies, but it’s gotten so tired when it’s just a tool for nostalgia

[HoodedSpidey]

The problem isn’t the multiverse as a concept, it’s the fact many writers use it as a crutch when they can’t tell an interesting story otherwise.

Edit: …somehow a controversial hot take.
