Spider-Man: No Way Home

There should be a scene where Tobey Maguire's Peter is flirting with Hot Aunt May, not knowing who she is, then she's like "by the way I'm Peter's aunt" and he's like "actually I'm kind of into that" because he's a pervert now.

I watched a Tiktok where a similar scenario occured. I'll have to see if I can find it.
 
Although the entire premise kind of fails: "But what about MJ and Aunt May? And Chair Guy? Do they need to lose their memory too?" "Dude. They do. Just tell them after they get their memory wiped. Problem solved." "Hey, I'm Spiderman." "Oh, that makes a lot of sense now."
 
You think Disney/Marvel has a guy on staff who's sole job is to stick it to Warner/DC?

"We're going to do a multiverse Flash movie and have Michael Keaton as Batman!"
"Ooh. Cool idea! Hold my beer."
 
I liked it but I wouldn't really call it the best Spider-Man. It was pretty good though!

I feel like this film would seem a lot better in Into The Spider-Verse didn't do everything this film tries to do but better in every way.
 
I thought it was real good. It could have been a total mess with all the villains and the three Petes, but they managed to just about make it all work (maybe Sandman's motivation could have been expanded on and Lizard was basically just the "I want to turn people into dinosaurs" panel expanded into a character) and the emotional stuff really delivered. I liked that May was so important to the plot after basically doing nothing in Far From Home. Her death could have felt like it was all just down to Peter making terrible mistakes, but because she was the one pushing him to heal Norman she actually had agency and it wasn't a fridging. And bonus points for her saying the full "With Great there must also come great responisibility" quote because sometimes they miss that middle part out and it's important.

Willem Dafoe was great, he just picked up right where he left off (except for being older.) The part where he was crazy laughing as Pete was punching the shit out of him that was good.

Andrew Garfield was a lot more fun than Tobey and it was nice to see him getting to have a good time playing Peter in a good movie as he obviously loves the character.

I liked the Matt Murdock cameo as someone who enjoyed 66.67% of Daredevil, but I wonder if viewers who didn't know him were confused by him not appearing again after his one scene.

I'm sure everyone's already commented on how the ending removes the things people didn't like about the MCU Spider-Men movies (his connection to Tony Stark, being an Avenger, the advance technology including a literal killer drone network he has access to) and leaves him as just dirt poor Peter Parker in a (cool looking!) home made suit. I hope they don't undo this in the next movie by giving everyone their memories back. But then I also hope this isn't the last we've seen of Zendaya since she's great.

Just saw it. Between my earlier point about the spell and Whisky's synopsis, my take on the film is pretty much covered. It was entertaining. And fun to see all the Spidermen together. But there was way too much ground to cover. 5 villains, 3 Spidermen, Dr. Strange... There's so much going on that no one really gets much development. I mean, they did a good job balancing it out and it beats trying to actually flesh out all the characters in the time you have (that makes a real mess) but I wasn't as impressed with it as many people seem to be. I was much more impressed with Ghostbusters. We'll see how I feel about The Matrix. And West Side Story.
 
I mean, seriously. The spell was to make people forget Peter Parker was Spiderman--not to forget that Peter Parker ever existed. Just tell Ned and MJ and anyone else after the fact. Problem solved. But that would've made for a much shorter and more boring movie.
 
It was ok, just felt a little flat, a bit low energy, didn't really come alive until all three Peters were there, and even then, I guess I don't like seeing Peter so down.
