Spider-Man: No Way Home thoughts and feelings under the cut!
SPOILERS! đ·đ·đ·
Okay so I just got back from my second viewing and have had time to digest. I went on the opening Thursday night so I couldnât say anything!!!
First of all. My immediate thought at the Three Peter interactions were: Elder Millennial, Millennial, and Zillennial Solidarity!!!!! Tobey!Peter with the bad back. Andrew!Peter being bitter towards the world and vaguely unhinged, and Tom!Peter just trying his best!!!!
Okay, for my first viewing on opening night, our crowd was ROWDY in the best way. Iâm talking when the trailers were playing when thereâs that 2 second pause and another would play they would boo and yell đ When Uncharted played they were like âWRONG MOVIE PETER!â đ So we were off to a great start. Then when Matt came on screen all hell broke loose. I was genuinely shocked and so happy!!!!! Like Iâm so happy for Charlie!!! And so sad that this whole time he was like âIdk if or when Iâm gonna come back ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻâ And we also got the Kingpin reveal the day before so I was soooooo hyped. I really hope they get brought back into the fold more soon. Then everyone cheered for each of the villains getting revealed, it was SO FUN! And then when that portal opened.... OH MY GOD ITâS HAPPENING!!! ITâS FUCKING HAPPENING!!!!
I was NOT expecting May to die but it made a lot of sense because Tom had said this movie was really sad and emotional đą But May being HIS BEN ughhhhhh đ Which brings me to... Does Ben exist in the MCU? I always assumed Ben was killed in the same manor that we know pre-Civil War, and of course was one of the reasons why Peter goes out to try to be Spiderman. In Civil War when Tony is recruiting him Peter says something to the effect of âWhen you can do what I can do, and bad things happen, they happen because of you.â I always assumed he was talking about Ben but maybe not? Either way May delivering the line was incredible and heartbreaking.
Everyone forgetting about Peter was a questionable plot device, but Iâll accept it. At the end of the movie when Peter goes to see MJ, it looks like sheâs still wearing the broken Black Dahlia necklace, so I still have hope that theyâll be reunited! But oh the moment when Peter realizes no, I canât put her in danger - heartbreaking.
And finally the end where Peter makes his own suit. Itâs funny, rewatching the previous movies in prep for this, I found it funny that the other Spiderman suits donât really serve a purpose besides hiding his identity. We donât see Tobey!Peter making his suit, but we see him sketching it while heâs coming up with his Human Spider/Spider Man identity. In TASM, we see Peter building his web shooters and suit from spandex because itâs the most aerodynamic, but neither of these suits actually serve as protection. This is in stark (pun not indented) contrast to MCU Peterâs suits, which of course he got from Tony. But as we saw in Far From Home, have a connection to Stark isnât always a good thing. I wonder if Tom!Peter saw the other Peterâs homemade suits and was inspired. That, coupled with the trouble with Mysterio and the Damage Control, Peter realizes he doesnât want to be the next Iron Man, he wants to be the next Spider Man. And thatâs what we do.
Also.... Youâre telling me Tony really didnât leave any money for Peter?? I mean I guess he left him the suits and the fabricator which are great but what, he couldnât at least have covered his tuition??? I feel like Pepper is definitely holding out on him đ And, who do we think is running Stark Industries now a days? I feel like Pepper would have retired, but idk who else Tony would have trusted to run it? Maybe weâll find out in the future?
Other random thoughts!!!
People are saying they think Ned is going to go evil/become the Hob Goblin and NO!!! I REFUSE!!!
I also saw someone theorize that Peter will meet Harry Osborn when he goes to college, but Norman straight up says Oscorp doesnât exist in this world so how would Harry and Normal exist??
I HAVE BEEN FLOATING OVER THE GRAND CANYON FOR 12 HOURS!!!
ANDREW!PETER CATCHING MJ AND THEN GETTING EMOTIONAL AND TEARY EYED!!! ASLDJASLKDJ LAJ đ đ đ Â IâM NOT OKAY!!!!
And them getting really meta when Andrew was like wow, Iâm lame compared to you guys. And Tobey being like no, youâre AMAZING! Because everyone knows Andrew was the least-beloved Spiderman. Not that doesnât change the fact that his fans love him, that he still belongs, that heâs apart of this legacy. Gah.
People petitioning for an Amazing Spiderman 3 like ehhhhh we should have gotten it years ago not now!!! Plus Peter said he was really bitter and basically implied that heâs been taking his anger out on the bad guys (ie killing them???) so that would be super interesting if they wanted to explore that.
Electro being like âI thought youâd be blackâ hahaha
My head canon is that Tobey!Peter is married to MJ and they have a kid together đ„ș Like he had big dad energy and was clearly out of practice Spidermanning and it was so endearing! Also the Youth Paster energy hahaha.
Anyway Iâm sure thereâs more but Iâll end it here for now. Overall I really loved it and am so happy I got see it in theaters!!
Also on the second viewing I noticed the end song - Three is Magic Number - Three because three Spidermen but also the movie is Spiderman 3!! Just a cool double meaning đ
