Spider-Man: No Way Home (Jon Watts, December 17, 2021) Movie • Page 43

I liked Tom in both films I saw him in outside of the MCU (The Devil All The Time and Chaos Walking). I haven’t seen Cherry yet but I will eventually.

 

I thought he was pretty good as a child actor in The Impossible.

 

i've caught the movie. not necessary

 

They don't trust him lol

 

Spider-Man: No Way Home Plot Was Changed After Another Marvel Movie Delayed Release

Oh shi-

 

I figured. You don’t want this movie spoiling something that would have occurred in Doctor Strange 2

 

I mostly don't wanna have serious thoughts on this mess until I see it in a month, lol, but I will say this:

Peter's empathy in that trailer moment where he refuses to send these characters back to their universes to die is great, and it sucks knowing that the film's probably gonna paint that as a fatal error. Not that I expect any superhero tentpole film, especially one by the people who made Far From Home and Homecoming, to have anything thoughtful to say about incarceration or the death penalty, lol. But, if [redacted] is killed like the rumors say, and none of these villains last beyond this film, even if the villains only ended up there because of a bad spell, that's pretty rough. Would love if empathy weren't shown to be a flaw Spider-Man has to overcome, y'know! Just one of the five getting a fresh start would rule, which means alas, it's probably not gonna happen.

 

Whatever you do do not watch Cherry.

 

There’s no way we’ll get that with this writing team. It will be played off as Peter’s incompetence.

 

I want Macy Gray’s “I Try” to be blasting through one of the portals that opens into Tobey’s Spider-Man universe

 

What if Doctor Strange doesn’t actually botch anything but just coincidentally happens to be casting the spell as Sylvie broke the timeline

 

What if Strange intentionally botched the spell all to teach Peter a lesson about how with great power comes great responsibility

 

That doesn't make sense, because all Sylvie did was allow timelines to bloom. That wouldn't explain why people are starting to cross over into the main timeline.

Also, he would've clearly botched something, because as we see in the trailer, no one forgets who Peter is.

 

What if Strange is Uncle Ben?

 

nah that can’t be true, Mephisto is already Uncle Ben

 

Or... oh man, that's why we haven't seen Uncle Ben yet in the MCU. Peter sold his uncle to Mephisto.

 

Nah we haven’t seen Uncle Ben in the MCU because nerds complained for years that Hollywood should stop showing us Spider-Man’s (and Batman’s) origin story over and over again. Of course then when Marvel obliged they turned around and complained about no Uncle Ben in the MCU lol

 

Uncle Ben Disney+ spin-off when?

 

Uncle Ben being in his early 50s when he died would be too sad to think about

 

I genuinely am looking forward to the day they actually introduce Mephisto and the internet gets collectively let down over it.

 

It'll definitely be watered down. Can't be introducing things like the literal devil when you're worried about what the Chinese gov't thinks.

 

They’ll turn him into like an evil warlock or something, just enough to get by.

 

It won’t happen but I think Matthew McConaughey would be a great Uncle Ben along side Tomei’s Aunt May

 

It is genuinely funny the moments in each post-Raimi Spider-Man movie where you can tell how hard they’re dancing around the “great power” line because they think audiences will leave the theater in protest or something if they hear it again

 

Uncle Doctor?

It’s…Strange.
