What I would have added to the end of Spider-Man no way home

Spoiler for no way home

Seriously

I’m gonna says stuff at the end

Why are you even here if you haven’t seen it? Don’t spoil it!

Spoilers

So what I would have done when the 2 other Peter Parker’s went back to their own world was to go with them each for like 3 minutes apiece.

Toby’s Spider-Man lands in a street in New York he recognizes in the middle of the day. He looks down at his outfit worried. He’s wearing his youth preacher t shirt and jeans and sighs in relief. His phone rings.

Peter: MJ! Hey, I’ve got a story for you

MJ: you better! The school called me 4 times! Where are you? It’s 4 o’clock and I can’t get off work yet!

Peter: oh shot! I’ll be there quick! And MJ? [he starts running]

MJ: yeah?

Peter: I love you

MJ laughs a little: you too. Now hurry!

Peter runs into an alley to change so he can web across town to pick up their kids.

———————————

Andrew’s Spider-Man lands in a street in New York he doesn’t visit much as dusk. It’s near bars but not right in front of them. He also looks down worried to realized he’s dressed in regular clothes. He looks on his phone while walking down the street on the way to his apartment.

He runs into a man played by Micheal B Jordan.

Peter: I’m so sorry. I wasn’t looking-

Micheal: no it’s okay-

Peter: I should watch where I’m going

Micheal: can’t deny that [laugh and looks at Peter with a smile. A bit of chemistry between them]

Peter: y-yeah [realizes he’s looking at very attractive person]

Micheal: hey, I’m going to watch the clippers game at the bar down the street. Wanna join?

Peter: oh, uh yeah that sounds

Other guy that’s Micheal’s friend: [from down the street] hey MJ, you coming??

MJ: yeah hold on!

Peter follows with a little smile. MJ hu?

OR because Marvel is too scared to put anything gay 🙄

Peter lands in a part of New York he knows isn’t great in his street clothes. Starts walking quickly and tries to find a cab or an alley to change into before he get robbed. He runs into a woman with platinum colored hair.

Peter: oh man, I’m so sorry! I should have watched where-

Woman: no it’s okay! I wasn’t looking either.

[Peter notices she’s very attractive. He is trying to think of something to say but hasn’t dated in a billion years.]

Woman: [a little confused by his silence] I gotta go…

Peter: wait! What’s your name?

Woman: Felicia [she starts walking away]

Peter: I’m Peter

Felicia: hi Peter [keeps walking]

Peter facepalms and feels stupid. He’s really bad at picking up chicks. She leaves. Peter feels in his pocket to realize his phone and wallet are gone.

Peter: she robbed me! HEY! [runs off to catch her]

I’m in love with Gwen Stacy. I want to hug her and I love her look at her she’s gorgeous I love her she’s so pretty-

I love her. I’m in love with her. LOOK AT HER.

[mcufilter]

life update i’m still in love with her

just a different version of her

[armageddon-generation]

After Andrew’s resurgence in popularity can we get TASM directors cuts?

All the cut footage that makes TASM genuinely great.

‘I can see him in you’

Connors talks about Richard Parker when Peter visits.

Alternate Uncle Ben Death

In this version Ben finds Peter, but Peter ignores him. Ben follows him into the alley where he dies

Peter is more responsible for Ben’s death, the voicemail is set up, and Ben doesn’t grab the gun like an idiot

Connors’ Condolences

Curt visits Peter with successful test-subject Freddy

Uncle Ben built bridges for a living- ‘America’s Cathedrals’.

Curt: You loved your Uncle? Then do something for him. Get to work. Build your own Cathedrals. We must be greater than what we suffer.

Extra emotional connection to Peter becoming Spider-Man (his Cathedral) on a bridge

Builds Peter & Curt’s mentor/mentee bond

Extended vigilante Peter fight

Better choreography

‘Becoming Spider Man’ 

1st Person POV sequence cut up in the theatrical version. 

Also shows off the original, brighter colour-correction

Fighting Lizard across skyscrapers- 

Great choreography here. I love their silhouettes flashing behind glass.

Extended Bridge Scene:

Peter talks to Dr. Ratha after saving him.

The boy Peter saves gives him his mask back- “so you’ll be strong”- and waves him off

Connors’ Family

Martha Connors was cast (Annie Parisse) and there’s footage of a scene with her and Curt in their garden

Connors visits his son after the Bridge, humanising him and giving insight into his mental state.

Ratha Spies on Connors

Also gives insight into Curt’s plan

Above and Below

Peter and Gwen grab takeout for a candlelit dinner on a clocktower (TASM2 foreshadowing?)

Contrasted with Connors losing his mind in the sewers, monologuing to the dead test-mouse Freddy- cut up in the Theatrical version

Curt: Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He’s gonna stop me, he’s gonna stop me. I’m afraid, I’m so afraid… Why should I be? I’m stronger than he is. I’m faster than he is. I can climb as high as he can. I have teeth, and claws, and a doctorate from Empire State University, and Freddy, I’m beautiful aren’t I? Beautiful. What a feeling! What a feeling…

This feels like a Shakespearean soliloquy and shows off Ifans’ acting ability as Curt succumbs to the Lizard personality

School Fight Alternate Ending

After the library fight Peter appeals to Curt’s humanity, triggering his transformation back to human form. Peter then helps him escape.

Curt takes Peter to his lab. They discuss Richard distrusting hm, whether Peter would give up his powers, and Connors’ plan

Curt quoting Michelangelo’s Silkworm is my favourite, perfectly surmising his character:

“That, changing like the snake, I might be free / To cast off flesh wherein I dwell confined”

Ratha attacks them and sedates Peter

Lizard transforms, unhinges his jaw and eats Ratha

New York in Chaos and Extended Crane Swing

Lizard people and rioters cause chaos- showing the fallout of Connor’s bio-weapon. The Theatrical cut just had lots of shots of people panicking.

Peter webs one up as he swings by

People cheer him on

Jameson reference

Extended: Lizard stalks Gwen (pre-vis)

Curt: Gwen? I know you’re here. Lizards smell through their tongue. Did you know that? I can taste your perfume. The bottle may say Jasmine but I can assure you it’s mostly rosewater… You see, my senses are highly keen. I don’t want to go back to the way I was. I want you, I want everyone to come join me. I promise, you won’t be disappointed… I don’t want to hurt you, Gwen. I’ve always been fond of you. Don’t make me hurt you Gwen.

Creepy stuff that acknowledges Curt was Gwen’s mentor

Cool shot of Lizard walking through the holo-tree

I prefer Gwen using the flamethrower in the Theatrical cut over charging him

Finale Lizard Dialogue (pre-vis 0:12)

Curt: I’m glad you came, Peter. You of all people deserve to see this.

Peter: I can’t let you do this.

Curt: You’ll have to kill me.Are you prepared to do that?

Peter: Let’s find out.

Curt: Your father was weak. He ran. Are you going to run, Peter?

Peter: I’m not going anywhere.

Curt: We’re everything your father feared. He’d be disgusted by us.

Peter: He was your friend, and you betrayed him.

Curt: He betrayed me! He knew our work could give me back my arm, and he abandoned me!

Peter: We are who we chose to be. You can be greater than what you suffer. You can still choose. Right now, tonight. Be the hero.

Curt: A world without sickness, without weakness, without pain? I am the hero!

Addresses the emotional stakes far better: Calls back to Connors’ Condolences (”be greater than what you suffer") & touching on Richard

I like the web-shooter exploding in Lizard’s mouth

Marry this with the stronger Theatrical action beats: Sync “Are you going to run, Peter?” with Curt yeeting him off of the building etc

Lost Something

Caps off to the eggs running- oke

A sweet moment between Peter and Aunt May that affirms Peter’s growth

Additional Cuts

(Though I feel these add nothing to or detract from the film):

Extended Testing Powers Montage that de-emphasises skateboarding

“Your Doorman is intimidating” Peter is forced to climb the fire escape to the Stacys’ apartment

Tracking Connors- Peter follows Curt to his hideout

Alternate Sewer Fight which I feel is less impactful

Bad Lizard- Curt licks a female student in the high-school, detracting from his sympathetic characterisation

Extended evading the NYPD in the finale - just an extra action beat

Tldr; Sony stripped the soul out of Marc Webb’s film. Rhys Ifans was robbed.

[xitsgwenstacyx]

Unpopular opinion but I hope Peter doesn’t have a love interest in TASM3.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love for him to move on from Gwen and find someone who loves him but I kinda fail to see how having a new love interest would be relevant to his story? Am I making sense?

Like if I was him I wouldn’t have one after what happened to Gwen? Get me?

[gonagaii]
