Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and this time I watched Spider-Man: No Way Home Extended
Cut at 0.25x speed and found 13 new details that will make you fall in love with this
film all over again!
I don't think I'll ever get bored of watching No Way Home.
When good writing gets mixed with nostalgia, things just work, don't they!
But speaking of Marvel Heroes, I'd like to take a minute to thank Marvel Snap for Sponsoring
today’s video!
If you watch my videos you are most likely a huge Marvel fan like me.
Marvel Snap is brought to you by the game designer of Hearthstone as a sort of ‘Love
Letter’ to Marvel fans alike.
This 'free-to-play' card battle game has elements of poker in that you can bet or bluff your
cards, but also requires quick thinking and strategy.
To be honest, I have a terrible poker face so it's nice to be able to bluff, safely behind
my mobile device.
In SNAP, over the course of 6 turns each player makes their move during the same turn- so
this is really where strategy can take effect.
The goal is to overthrow your opponent at 2 out of the 3 randomized locations in the
middle of the board to win- but be mindful because each location has game-altering effects.
Here’s a hidden detail I noticed: Marvel Snap actually hired famous comic book artists
to design the in-game arts.
In this game you can only earn cards by playing - you can’t just buy your way up the ranks!
This game looks super fun and the art is awesome, so give it a go it's available on steam with
early access and the full version launched on october 18th for ios & android.
Best of all, your account carries over from mobile to steam so you can swap between platforms
without your progress getting lost!
So, download the game now using my link in my description.
I’m really excited about this game and I hope you are too!
Number 1: Aunt May's interrogation scene is not only extended in this one but it's a completely
different take with a different camera angle altogether.
Let me play it out for you as much as I can without getting a strike:
Number 2: In my official breakdown of No Way Home which by the way you should definitely
check out if you haven't already, there I had mentioned how Aunt May calls Matt Murdock
by his first name but everyone else addressed Matt with his last name.
So I had suspected back in December 2021, that Aunt May must have had previous interactions
with Matt Murdock, at least that's what the writers implied here.
But now in this extended edition, my theory has turned out to be correct.
Because in this extended scene, Aunt May quite blatantly admits that she was charged with
criminal activities before.
So now with this extra bit of dialogue, we can surely say that Aunt May knew Matt Murdock
from before, and he is the one that probably got her off the charges brought against her.
That's why Matt was May's first choice when it came to saving Peter from going to prison.
Number 3: In this 2nd bonus scene, Spider-Man stops a burglar from running away.
And this burglar was played by none other than Tom's own brother, Harry Holland.
But that's not the detail I want you to focus on.
Notice these tiny posters or stickers I should say on the street lights and on the buildings.
Its Mysterio's picture with a big text that says "I Believe".
Meaning its from some Mysterio supporter who says I Believe Mysterio!
Number 4: Mr Harrington had prepared a little something to welcome Peter at school.
Now one thing that I never noticed in this whole scene, despite watching the film 8 times
in theatres and making 3 official breakdowns, is that Flash Thompson is the only one in
his school who actually tried hard for his yearbook photo.
All the students had their pictures taken in front of a blue screen, meaning they had
all come to the school studio to get their pictures taken.
But only Flash Thompson has a photo with trees in the background, and he is also posing in
the photo that doesn't match any other students in the yearbook.
This is an easter egg that really fits perfectly with his character.
Number 5: While Peter walks on his school hallway, notice this tv screen, which now
says "Welcome Back Tigers!"
Now, Jon Watts the director of the film played the most with this particular TV.
Lemme explain what I mean by that.
In the trailer this TV showed footage of Betty Brant talking to the camera.
And in the movie this footage was replaced with some random footage (which I will get
back to in a minute).
But now in this extended version, this footage has again been changed for the 3rd time and
now says "Welcome Back Tigers!"
Which obviously refers to Peter Parker but the word "Tiger" is in plural, meaning this
is something Betty Brant has put up there as a welcome message for Peter, MJ and Ned.
Number 6: In the 3rd bonus scene Coach Wilson and all the other students kind of bully Peter
into climbing the wall.
And once he does that, one of them says this: And I think this scene really adds more depth
to Peter's character, the kind of struggles he has to go through now that everyone knows
he's Spider-Man.
On one hand they force him to show his powers, and when he does, they call him a freak!
But notice how MJ wasn't even looking at Peter climbing the walls.
Because she loves Peter and its hard for your loved ones to see you getting humiliated.
Number 7: In another scene, Betty Brant shows a video of students who came up with their
own renovation plan for the Statue of Liberty.
And there are some really cool easter eggs and references here.
Like this one, where Lady Liberty is holding the Sokovia Accords on her left hand instead
of the tablet that she holds now.
The tablet on her left hand symbolizes "The Law" and Sokovia Accords in the MCU also symbolizes
"The Law" but for the superheroes.
Now of course we learned in She-Hulk that the Sokovia Accords have been repealed.
Another student imagined his version of Lady Liberty as an archer, who holds a bow and
arrow.
This could be a reference to Hawkeye himself.
Another student went completely off the rails and made his version resemble the Incredible
Hulk.
Then there's an Iron Man inspired Lady Liberty, where she designed an arc reactor on the chest
and the torch looks like Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet.
And then this one which has a functional red cape.
Now if this was DC, I would have said Superman but obviously this could be inspired by Thor's
red cape.
Now the detail in this scene isn't just the functional cape that goes up with a press
of a button, it's this guy who came up with the idea.
Because in the previous scene he said this: So it make sense that someone who used to
be lab partners with Peter Parker, came up with a version of Lady Liberty that requires
some engineering.
Now with the last one, it gets a bit darker as this particular guy who happens to be a
Mysterio supporter, imagined his version of Lady Liberty with a fishbowl helmet.
And instead of putting the torch on her right hand, he put it on her left hand.
Implying the exact opposite of freedom.
I can't believe they put this much work in scenes that eventually got deleted.
Betty Brant then mentions a PSA from Principle Morita, and the PSA is for the cafeteria safety.
And this is the footage that was randomly shown in the original version of the movie.
But now with the extended cut, we know what it means.
Number 8: There's now a very long undercroft montage which was deleted from the original
cut.
And here we see a diorama of the entire Sanctum Sanctorum including a miniature version of
Doctor Strange inisde of it.
Notice he even makes eye-contact with MJ.
And look at how the lights flicker as soon as MJ walks near it.
This is probably a way Doctor Strange is keeping an eye on all of them, especially on the multiversal
villains.
Number 9: J Jonah Jameson's supplement ad scene is now extended and shows us a full
conversation he has with someone who witnessed Spider-Man fighting Electro with the help
of Sandman.
But notice the name of the person Jameson interviews:
Now Walter Burke isn't just a random name.
He does exist in the comics, precisely in Tales of Suspense #30 released back in 1962.
Walter Burke was a talented civil engineer who was skilled at designing and building
amusement park rides.
He constructed several frightening rides for his boss Charlie Harris in the comics.
But Charlie would always demand Burke to outdo himself and come up with new scary rides.
Burke literally died building new rides for his boss, but the last ride that Burke had
designed eventually killed his boss Charlie.
Its an interesting story and I'm glad there's a reference to him in the film.
Number 10: The scene where Peter and Norman Osborn work together to fix Doctor Otto's
chip, is now extended and they now talk about the exact solution Peter came up with.
Number 11: Now this was well advertised before this extended cut was released, that we're
gonna see a full version of the conversation the 3 Spider-Man have together.
And here Andrew Garfield now talks about how he wishes he could have done all the things
differently: This scene quite clearly establishes that
Andrew is still not over Gwen, he still ponders about how he could have done things differently
to save Gwen Stacy.
Andrew then says he will grab Tobey's number once they're done fighting the villains, and
then all 3 of them talk about Tobey's organic web, a little too detailed this time.
Andrew saying he wants to see Tobey's holes and the look on Tobey's face is just incredible!
Honestly I think this extended cut was worth it, just for this look on Tobey's face!
And I love the fact that Andrew talked about the holes in Tobey's body where his webs come
from, because back in Spider-Man 1, Sam Raimi actually
went out of his way to make sure there was a "nozzle" on Tobey's suit, so it becomes
a bit more practical how the webs come through the suit.
And now that Andrew mentioned it again in No Way Home, this is just one of the biggest
easter eggs for all us Spidey fans.
But I do understand Andrew didn't quite mean this nozzle in Tobey's suit, but the actual
holes in Tobey's wrists, but you know both of these are connected.
Number 12: In the newly added post-credit scene, we now see that photos of Peter Parker
still exist, but they're somehow blocked by something in front, in this case a pigeon!
This is a photo that was taken in Far From Home when they were all in Venice.
So Doctor Strange's spell which made everyone forget about Peter Parker, didn't make him
vanish out of all the physical evidence that says that he existed, it just blurred everything
out.
And if Ned and MJ see this photo again, they would think "Yes someone existed and was standing
with us there but we don't quite remember who he was"
And that's how the spell basically works.
The physical evidences are still there but Peter's face isn't visible some way or the
other.
Number 13: In one of Flash Thomson's TikTok, in the background we can see that Ned was
trying to teach Betty the handshake that he does with Peter Parker.
But Betty wasn't interested, so that was probably towards the end of their relationship where
things weren't going too well between them.
This is footage from Far From Home by the way, but now shown as a post-credit scene
in No Way Home.
And that's it, this would be another breakdown of Spider-Man: No Way Home at 0.25x speed.
Lemme tell you something I haven't told in any of my breakdowns before, no matter how
many times I watch this film, it always chokes me up towards the end.
Seeing Tobey talk to Alfred Molina, Peter saying "take care of yourself" to Happy while
Happy has no memory of Peter, it just all makes me teary!
I mean, if you think about it, Peter and Happy both lost the most in the MCU now.
Happy lost his best friend and now the love of his life.
While Peter lost his mentor and now his aunt May.
The fact that this movie ended with these two talking to each other gives me goosebumps
every time!
When the writers you hire to write your project and they love the source material, there's
nothing the writers can do that will go wrong!
Kudos to Sony and Marvel for giving us one of the best comic book movies of all time!
And thanks to Tobey and Andrew for keeping their egos aside and coming together for us
one more time!
