This. Arad’s involvement is grossly overstated. I would say the late Ziskin deserves more credit, she actually got Raimi and Webb onboard.
I'm still cracking up at ASM Peter hanging from the ceiling by one hand to prove he's legit.
Wait a second !?
I wasn’t really paying attention during the credits but there’s really no mention of Raimi or Webb? Might be a small deal to some but that’s kinda heartbreaking.
After seeing the movie, I really liked the movie, but must ask…did it kind of drag in the beginning for anyone else besides myself? I suppose me not being a fan of the previous two entries made the scenes before the bridge kind of slow to me. I WILL give credit for having ONE MCU Spider-Man movie where Tony Stark doesn’t drive the narrative…I ALMOST wanted to see them double down on it and find some way to make Tony Stark responsible for the Raimi and Webb baddies somehow just for laughs.
Also, I’m surprised Peter went on to perpetually prove that he WAS Spider-Man immediately after Mysterio’s video came out by doing Spider-Man stuff unmasked…I’m surprised that there wasn’t even a debate on the other side (Peter Parker can’t be Spider-Man). Also how does the spell affect things like video and print? Because they didn’t go out of their way to debunk it, it still would be out there.
However I AM glad for a fresh start for college, as the MCU kids always grated on my nerves. Heck I’d say that simply KNOWING Spider-Man was Peter didn’t put them in danger, but Peter dragging them into his superhero affairs was more of a problem (I.e. dragging them to Strange’s place to…tape a tablet to his chest). This is why it seemed like college acceptance was the biggest deal rather than enemies going after them.
So where the hell was Uncle Ben's grave???
It makes things confusing because he's sort of referenced in CW.
I think at one point they were found that road but it’s kind of become obvious at this point that Uncle Ben is pretty much Aunt May/Tony Stark.
Unfortunately it seems as if he doesn’t exist in this world.
There was no space left after the Arad tribute.Wait a second !?

I thought everything that happened in the first act of the movie could've easily been the main focus/storyline of another Spider-Man film, there were many interesting things in there that could've been explored. It flowed fine for me, regardless.After seeing the movie, I really liked the movie, but must ask…did it kind of drag in the beginning for anyone else besides myself?
Ok lets put it another way. If Uncle Ben exists in the MCU. He clearly isn't important to the MCU.
Some of y’all gotta let Uncle Ben go!!! We had already seen him eat it twice and marvel wanted to take a different approach. The same lesson was done just as well with Aunt May.
Understandable but the uncle Ben deaths in SM1 and TASM were after spending less than 10 minutes of screentime with each of the characters so I know you couldn’t have gained too much of an emotional attachment to either of them either.Never
Well, leaving Uncle Ben out of the criticism, May's death didn't have much if any impact on me because I never got to care about her. They leaned too much in the cool aunt direction making it appear as if she's not one bit concerned about Peter being Spider-man, gave her a dumb subplot where she briefly dates Happy Hogan for no reason, and then suddenly after 2 movies when they finally decide to get real with her it's like 5 minutes before she gets killed. Yeah, I couldn't help but feel numb to it.
Yep. Once Andrew was cast, they really should have had him in college, working with/for Connors and that's where he meets Gwen. Could have given Connors a better backstory and actually show his family.Andrew was always the wrong choice for a high school Peter. It was clear just looking at him that he had already grown into his manliness, thus he couldn't exactly sell the awkward teens. It hurts because he really could've been the perfect college-graduate Peter Parker. Tobey's Peter was still studying at the end of 3, so that would've been a pretty seamless transition to a "soft-reboot". He'd get an internship at the lab of his old professor Dr. Connors etc.
Anyway, I also loved Andrew in No Way Home. I'm glad that despite of everything, he still gets a lot of fanfare.
I hated that they didn't even bother to show May and Ben were buried next to each otherSo where the hell was Uncle Ben's grave???

I'm okay with it a little more after this film. Especially since he learned the same thing with May and it's trending towards the Spidey we know nowSome of y’all gotta let Uncle Ben go!!! We had already seen him eat it twice and marvel wanted to take a different approach. The same lesson was done just as well with Aunt May.
