Spider-man: No Way Home - Seen it thread (open spoilers)

I’m seeing this Friday night and my 13-year old daughter is excited. We’ve watched all the Marvel movies leading up to this one, though my kids have not yet seen Eternals. Anyway, the buzz is building now that it screened and it appears to be pretty positive.

Anyway, I can’t wait to see it and am really predicting the following

  • Toby and Andrew are 95% likely to appear, but I bet not until the last 25 minutes or so.
  • We’ll see more than just “bad guys and Spider-men” come through the multiverse portal or whatever Dr. Strange has created - it will lead into Dr. Strange 2

I’m very hopeful that this is fun. The first Spider-man with Tom Holland is one of my favorite Marvel movies and I like the Mysterio one as well. Oh, I kind of hope Mysterio is one of the villains to come through the “portal” as well. There has to be more than one out there.

Anyone else excited?

Since you asked…

Not really. I already loved Into the Spiderverse, which I thought was very well done. As a standalone movie.

This seems like a rehash. Plus I fear it is one more step in turning the mosty-well made and concise MCU into the muddled and overly complicated comic universe. The comics are that way because they have 60 years of baggage. There’s no reason for the movies to do that.

And I doubt Spiderpig will be in it. :slight_smile:

My wife and I appear to be in the very small minority that did not enjoy Into the Spider-verse very much. I actually re-watched it not that long ago to see if we just missed something, but I liked it…OK…but it wasn’t that great.

I am aware it is very popular, though.

Very spoilery pictures have me very excited. This text will be blurred

No, no, those are insects, not arachnids.

The buzz is building within me, ever since I asked a friend if he could skip out of work for it, and he surprisingly said “Sure!” So I checked out a local theater/brewpub and discovered that opening night is sold out , BUT anything tomorrow or Friday morning is showing to practically-empty theaters. That’s how I saw the latest Bond movie, and I felt pretty safe.

Even if it’s half as good as the others, hey, it’s Spidey! And it’s Tom Holland! And Benzidrine Cumberbund! And the multiverse! So, other Spideys? (I’ve avoided the trailers)

So I’ve been cleaning the house, singing “Spider-Tom, Spider-Tom/Does whatever…to your mom.”:notes:

My daughter and I talk about it every day. I think my favorite aspect of this movie is that it is the first full-blown hype movie my daughter has been all-in on. My son, too, but my daughter is through the roof excited.

It came out today in Australia, so I saw it at the earliest screening I could.

It is very good! It is also very messy, but in a good way. And it will make you feel happy, sad, and surprised in many different ways.

I will say no more until it’s properly released for most of the world.

Just saw it at a sold out showing on the largest IMAX screen in the country and it was so good!! I was surprised at how emotional it made me, rarely am I moved by a Marvel film.

I hope it’s okay to drop this funny video in here given all the anticipation for this movie. If there were a bouncer at the Spiderman movie showing. Warning for language. No spoilers. How I’m finna be at the Spider-Man Movie - YouTube

Ok, this was just amazing. I can’t believe they pulled it off. Also, is this the first time we get a whole ass trailer as a post credit scene?

Open spoilers!

Yes, it was outrageously amazing…for the most part. When Andrew Garfield came out, the crowd in my theater clapped and cheered. When Tobey walked through, the same but even more enthusiastic. Yes, it is guilty of “rememba when???” over and over, but it was great.

Tobey ends his run now with Osborne cured, Dock Ock cured, Sandman cured.

Andrew now ends his run with Electro cured, Connors cured, AND HE SAVED THE GIRL!!! This was a highlight. I teared up when he realized…he saved her this time!!!

I do think the ending will be controversial. They seem to be setting up a post-Spiderman MCU if they lose the rights to him. I did not like that NO ONE remembers Peter. Too sad.

Yes, and it is directed by Sam Raimi, who directed the first three Tobey Spider-man movies. But it was great to see a trailer. I am there for Dr. Strange 2 opening weekend.

My wife’s thoughts were that she liked it but that, “the ending makes me like it less.”

I also agree that the downer ending makes me think that either:

  • this is it for Tom Holland
  • I’m not sure how much I’m looking forward to post-MJ post-Ned Spider-man movies.

If the initial spell was just to make everyone forget Peter was Spider-man, why did the second version need to make everyone forget Peter entirely?

Because that was what was drawing everyone in from the Multiverse. Anyone at all who just knew Peter in any Universe potentially could have been dragged into his one. That was the mistake they made originally, and which had to be corrected.

Subsequent fallout from this is what seems to be triggering the plot of the new Doctor Strange movie, though I think Loki/Kang has something to do with it too.

Anyone else feel like this is the end of spiderman in the MCU?

No. I think it was written as though it might be the end, but I think that it’s open ended, just in case Sony wants to continue its MCU association, while simultaneously appear in just the Sony movies if they want him to.

It does mean Peter Parker is now reset to be a poor kid struggling to figure out how to be a superhero, which is what the comics always play him out to be. What he is not is part of the Avengers anymore. I figure they will introduce Miles Morales for him to mentor.

Count me as someone who enjoyed it immensely as well.

One question nagged at me at the end though – the new spell means that everyone forgets about Peter Parker in every universe, correct? That’s what was able to heal the multiverse. So does that mean that when Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield go back to their respective universes, nobody is going to know who they are either? If so, it would have been nice for Tom Holland to give them a head’s up.

I think it means everyone in every universe forgets THIS Peter Parker.

That was the impression I got , too.
Well, it looks like Spidey is going to need a new civilian identity-maybe “Ben Reilly”?

But no one in the other universes knew this Peter Parker to begin with. So how would forgetting THIS Peter Parker change anything to anyone outside of this universe?

I know, I’m overthinking this, and I should really just relax.
