Movies Here’s what we can tell you about ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’Īrguably the year’s most anticipated movie had its world premiere on Monday, and fans are likely to rejoice at what’s in store. how will that all work? And if they’re making timeline changes, isn’t that, like, really, really bad (asks The Ancient One)?

So are they going back to moments before they die, when they’ll know to stop fighting Spidey? Or are they all coming back at the same time, resurrected? Some of them are in the same timelines, so. I mean, they seem to have come to Peter’s universe after dying, right? They refer to the moments of their deaths in their dialogue. Specifically: how is that supposed to save their lives in their universes? The pure MCU version feels like the most heroic of the Spideys.īut the thing I wasn’t clear on, that I hope someone smart (hello, Sonaiya and Tracy) might be able to clear up for me was this whole “curing the villains” gag. Garfield’s smacks of a serious actor plumbing Peter’s emotional depths - and lo and behold! Meanwhile, Holland’s confirms why I like his best: Yes, he’s the youngest-feeling of the three, as in the comics, but more than anything, he’s a kid dealing with the crushing weight of responsibility - and that’s why he’s a hero. Maguire’s Peter always seemed a bit deer-in-the-headlights to me, and does so here. I thought it was a good choice that the filmmakers leaned into the actors’ different interpretations of Peter Parker those contrasts were amusing and enriching. ?” rant again, but dang it, I would have had that moment! Afterward I would have gone on my “ What If. Even though I’m confessedly anti-multi, I imagine I would have been delightedly thrown for a loop in the moment, seeing those worlds collide. I think the experience of the film would have been soooo much more fun without those leaks. Where I’m not with you is on the spoiler police thing (maybe I’m an undercover cop): I really wish I hadn’t known any of those things - the villains or the Spideys. If, as they demonstrate in that animated series, dead characters in this universe can simply be replaced by live versions from another, do their deaths matter? Neat marketing device dangerous dramatic device IMHO.

?” TV show (much less so than I was for the comic) I felt it badly lowered the stakes for the MCU.



Michael Ordoña: Well, first, I’m with you in the multiverse-aversitude. Tom Holland plays Peter Parker once more in a playful, multiverse-collapsing mashup from director Jon Watts. Movies ‘No Way Home’ is a joyous valentine to Spider-Man movies and their fans So as fun as it was to see Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock pop up for his “Hello, Peter” in the “No Way Home” trailer, busting open the multiverse felt so far out of the realm of the usual “charmingly low stakes.” Not to mention, aside from 2018’s fantastic “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” I’m a bit multiverse averse. The charm of Tom Holland’s two previous solo “Spider-Man” outings has been how they’ve really leaned into high-school milestones and the coming-of-age side of being a teenage superhero. But in “ Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he gets to show off how being part of multiple franchises is one of his gifts too.īefore seeing this third installment of the Jon Watts-helmed trilogy, I wouldn’t have considered that last factoid anything worth bragging about. Tracy Brown: It’s been well established that Peter Parker has an impressive array of superpowers, including superhuman strength and reflexes, the ability to cling to surfaces, Spidey sense - and that’s not even counting his affinity for science.
