![]() Then in Far From Home he does something much stupider, which is give the awesome power of a drone space missile system to some doofus wearing a biodome who he had just met. That’s their whole reason for being, so it was hard to fault Peter there. But you expect super heroes to push back against such strictures and fight bad guys. He disobeyed Tony and tried to fight Elderly Batman on his own, which Tony warned him could get people killed. ![]() In Homecoming, it wasn’t actually that bad. But this template is starting to show a little bit of wear and tear, and there was an obvious quibble that jumped out at me while watching No Way Home: in each film Peter Parker gets himself into trouble by doing something incredibly stupid, and then spends the back half of the movie resolving it. There’s been a nice balance between Peter’s high school coming of age story-line, and the super hero stuff. I have written before that I like Tom Holland’s take on Spider-Man, and the Marvel-Sony collaboration has so far been fruitful. It opens a lot of possibilities for future films. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse helped lay the groundwork for all this, and now the live action films are carrying the weight. I also very much like that they are building up the existence of the Multi-verse so they can take the Loki series, and Doctor Strange and other properties into increasingly weird and wild directions. It was a fun moment, getting everyone back together again, contracts and studios and legal hurdles be damned. I really appreciate the difficulty of pulling all the old Spider-Mans and villains from other dimensions into this one, the cameos from the Netflix shows. It also kind of hints at how badly Sony was managing this IP, turning what hould have been a license to print money into a faltering franchise before Marvel entered the picture.Īnd I liked No Way Home, for what it is. ![]() ![]() For it to have made so much money, in so many countries, even during these pandemic times is a testament to the awesome hold that this simple story of a boy with spider powers has on the hearts and minds of the entire world. He's likely to return to the role in some form in a future Marvel project, which should bring yet another epic verbal battle between he and his web-blessed adversary.Spider-Man: No Way Home is a mega-success. Simmons' excellent portrayal of the role he brought back to life from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy in the mid-2000s. Jonah Jameson impact, these videos only add to J.K. There's a chance it could come to fruition fully in the upcoming animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year on Disney+, but for now, it remains one of the MCU's untold mysteries.Īs for the J. Spider-Man isn't exactly Spider-Man without that fateful spider bite, although it's been a mystery to MCU fans why that event has barely seen any screentime since the web-slinger arrived more than five years ago. Spider-Man: Homecoming showed Jacob Batalon's Ned asking about it before Peter confirmed that the spider was dead, and No Way Home had the only other scene that referenced the event at all. Throughout Tom Holland's solo Spider-Man trilogy, the story has only hinted minorly at Peter Parker's classic origin story where he was bitten by a radioactive spider before gaining his arachnid-based powers.
