Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul aka your friendly
neighbourhood Spoiler-man and Spider-man No Way The Trailer has been released.
After 84 years we have our first full look at the
movie and in this video we're gonna be breaking down the easter eggs,
things you missed and discussing all the plot points and comics that it pulls from.
It's been living in my head rent free like Peter parker
and I'm so hyped to talk about it so let's get into it.
Now we start off with Peter and MJ sitting on a rooftop,
this is something that has happened at several points in the comics and films and I got a lot
of vibes here of the original Spider-man 3 in which the pair both sat stargazing.
We learn that this is in the aftermath of Peter's identity being made public
but it looks like at this point that he managed to clear his name even if everyone now knows it.
MJ is reading a news paper from the New York Post and not the Daily Bugle
as we learned that in the MCU it was an Alex-Jones esque show rather than a publication. On the front
cover it reads Peter Parker & His Spider-Minions with him puppeting people
showing that the media is still sort of trashing him even though he saved the city and universe.
Gonna put some dirt in their eyes. It also shows that those around him
have been pulled into this too which we'll talk about later on in the video.
MJ reads one of the passages out about how some suggest
Parker's powers include the ability to hypnotise females. Whilst this is thrown
away as a little joke it actually foreshadows the big reveal in the trailer in which Peter
asks Strange to pretty much hypnotise the entire world into forgetting he's Spider-man.
Next we jump to the police station with Peter denying that he murdered Mysterio.
Peter wants to just stay up there forever and then cut to him and MJ swinging through
the streets of New York in the aftermath of the post credits scene from Far From Home.
Peter's face is blown up all over times square with the mask superimposed onto one side. This
iconography pulls from the comics, namely when his spider sense was set off and it also is very
similar to some of the promo material that went out which showed his face split between stranges.
We later see a shot in which people swamp him at a subway entrance
and judging by the location of this shot I would say that this is how the movie opens.
The street sign says West 33rd Street which according to google maps is opposite Pennsylvania
station which is where Peter was at during the post credits scene of the prior movie.
From what we know of the film the opening is gonna be much in the same vein as John Wick 3
and it'll see Spider-man being chased across New York as this revelation breaks the internet.
We cut to him in the police station trying to explain the drones situation and how
they are what killed Mysterio even though he was put in charge of Edith.
Peter also sits with handcuffs on which reminds me a lot of Man Of Steel
when Superman was being interrogated. He could clearly snap out of them in a second
but he's left them on for appearance's sake.
Now there's a guy who slams down some papers in a split-second shot and it looks a lot like
Matt Murdock from the stubble to the shirt to the tie. We do know that Charlie Cox will be in
the movie and this is a blink and you'll miss it moment that I'm 99% sure is him.
The 1% is because I asked a mate who
said it definitely wasn't so tell him to shut the hell up in the comments if he's wrong.
We cut to him and MJ reading their phones which clearly have headlines and reports about the
revelation. I love how this and the opening in the trailer are them pretty much obsessing over
the news reports and it shows how much it being out there has completely dominated their lives.
Peter wanting to just stay on the roof away from everyone shows how much he feels deep
down that it's changed things for the worst and it nicely sets up the actions that he takes.
Also I love how MJ has sketches of people hanging above her bed
and this is something that she of course did during detention in Homecoming.
Next we get what is clearly a flashback in which the character likely handed himself in or was
taken to court. We see someone has a sign that says Devil in Disguise and Mephisto confirmed.
He's joined by Ned, MJ and what I think is Flash Thompson who has dyed his hair blond.
In the comics the character was blond and it's nice to also see him supporting Peter.
Flash was obviously a massive Spider-man Fan but ironically he hated Peter
and bullied him. The reveal has obviously changed things and it will be interesting
to see if reversing this knowledge turns him back into being a baddie.
Next we cut to what I believe is immediately after the events from
Far From Home in which both Peter and Mj are getting followed through New York.
From here we jump to him in school, and bruh, I cannot believe he went back there.
You know I'm somewhat of an idiot myself.
We can also see the back of some letterman jackets
and Ned could be caught wearing one of these in the recently released funko pop pics for the film.
The M on it likely stands for Midtown high which is what Peter attended in the comics.
Spoiler alert.
We see Peter and May sat in their apartment and from this shot I almost get the feeling
like someone has walked in on them from the way she sits up. Peter says that it isn't about him
it's hurting the people he loves and as Batman said, the mask is to protect those around you.
Now this may be pulling slightly from the Civil War comic as that had Peter revealing his identity
to the world in order to show that the Superhuman Registration Act was something worth doing. Peter
was very much the eyes and ears of the reader and over time he changed his mind and went on the run.
His arc actually ended with Aunt May getting shot which plays into the one more day storyline which
we'll talk about in a bit. Either way though you very much get the idea that the reveal of his name
has led to people around him being put in Danger and it'll be interesting to see if they lean into
what happens with May in that especially as we don't really see her in the rest of the teaser.
Along with May, Ned too gets questioned by the police and it's clear that a lot
of people want to know when announcement that Tobey and Andrew are in the movie.
Just tell us and there won't be a problem.
Now from this trailer we can also confirm that the film will be spanning a lot of seasons
as we catch Peter in a classroom with Halloween decorations hanging up.
Cut back to when he and MJ were sat in their room and we could Christmas lights.
We also know from behind the scenes videos that Peter is gonna be in the snow at some point
so I would say that this movie takes place over at least the span of six months,
judging from when Far From Home Happened and the decorations around the sets.
Now hilariously Peter comes up with the idea to go and see Doctor Strange
by looking at the hanging wizard lights that are in the aforementioned room.
He journies to the sanctum sanctorum which we can see covered in snow.
Now why this likely is is because Bruce Banner blew a big hole in the roof
during the opening of Infinity War. Right after this Strange was at the very least snapped away
and the fact that it took a while to get fixed might confirm that Wong was too.
During this time the elements have taken over and now we catch him shoveling snow
but bro, thought you could use magic. Bruh. You set a fire place on fire bruh
just melt it and do that thing you did in Endgame with the water.
Strange and Peter have a nice little back and
forth in which they go back and forth over what to address each other as.
This of course plays on the first time that they met in which they used their made up names.
Strange's mug says 'For Fox Sake' which...sort
of makes me think he's thinking that seeing Peter show up on his doorstep.
Anyway the webhead has one request and that is to
remove the knowledge from everyone's head that Peter Parker is Spider-man.
Now as mentioned earlier this is clearly pulling from the comic book storyline One More Day
in which he went to Strange in order to help him save Aunt May.
Strange even lived in a run down and boarded up Sanctorum. Strange helped
Peter travel through multiple timelines so that he could see if there was anyone out there who
could save her life but unfortunately each person he spoke to said there was nothing he could do.
This idea of travelling through the timelines could potentially be seen in the trailer
as Peter asks if he can go back in time or something and strange levitates at one point
in a position that looks similar to what he did in Infinity War.
Now if we are right with this then clearly it doesn't work as Strange
has to carry out a different spell and as Endgame showed us,
all that travelling back would do would be to create a branched reality.
In the comics no one was able to help Peter and he ended up making a deal with Mephisto
and along with bringing May back, he also removed the knowledge from everyone's minds
that Peter Parker was Spider-man. This was so that people wouldn't come after May again and
in exchange for doing this, Mephisto made it so that Peter and MJ never got married.
Now the fact that Strange is the one doing it and not the devil who's always in the details
won't actually be showing up in the MCU for a long time.
In between this scene we hear Peter explaining to Strange why it's really important that this
happens and amongst the shots are him getting swamped which we talked about earlier.
Jump to Wong who warns strange not to cast the spell
and Strange promises not to though he gives Peter a cheeky wink.
Interestingly Wong packs his bags and leaves. From what we've seen of the Shong-Chi trailer
this might actually be him going off to fight the Abomination.
Kevin Feige has confirmed that he is indeed in the
film and I like that we kinda watch him walking off whilst this happens.
Now if you're enjoying the video so far I'd massively appreciate the thumbs up
and also don't forget to subscribe as we do breakdowns like this each and every day
and it just makes spider-sense to stick around. That rent free like
Peter parker joke deserves a thumbs up at the very least, come on now.
Anyway back to the trailer and we watch Strange use one of Peter's
hairs in the Men In Black Memory Eraser spell.
Clearly something like this is needed in order to tie a spell to someone and the character
pinched some hair from Thor in Ragnarok before sending him and his brother off to meet Odin.
Now if you've been following the channel then you'll know we talked about this moment in our
last plot leak video and it looks like Peter interrupting the spell is what causes reality
to break open. He doesn't want his girlfriend or people like May to forget he's Spider-man
and thus he knocks Strange's concentration off slightly in order to stipulate this.
Earlier in the trailer Peter does say that he felt bad about lying to MJ
so it makes sense why this would suddenly spring to mind for him.
Now if Tobey and Andrew Garfield are indeed in the film which...yeah worst kept secret of all time,
then this moment could be a callback to the Happy Birthday storyline. In that Dormammu attacked new
York and Doctor Strange cast a spell which Peter interuppted. This split open time itself and he
was able to view a future version of himself as well as a past one. He was able to interact and
change events so we might even see a moment in which Peter stops the broadcast with Mysterio.
Either way the spell seemingly works but we also get what looks like a rainbow bridge amongst
it being cast out over the world. This effect is typically shown when someone is travelling through
the bi-frost so maybe at this point a villain comes across the multiverse and into the MCU.
Weirdly this effect was used in a number of fake fan made trailers
so give yourself a pat on the back if you did that.
Now there are several villains that I counted in the trailer
or at least teases to them. This is obviously the first look and Sony don't wanna blow their load
but from what I saw and what we know of the film, the rumors and reports are true.
It's true...all of it.
Now the first big one is of course Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus who arrives at
the end of the trailer and say 'Hello Peter' during one of the many quick cuts.
Molina has pretty much taken the mantle of the Spoiler-man from Tom Holland
and he's been out and about telling us everything that happens in the movie.
According to him we see a scene in which an alternate version of the character
at the end of Spider-man 2 is pulled across the multiverse through a portal.
If you cast your mind back to that film the villain died after drowning a minature sun
in the Hudson and it is possible that when this collapsed that it pulled him across.
Willem Dafoe's green goblin and is also teased when a pumpkin bomb
rolls towards the screen. We've been saying for months now that he's in the film
and that he will end up forming the sinister six.
We also see electrical sparks and we know from Jamie Foxx that he will be reprising
his role as Electro too, though his costume will be different. At the
end of the amazing Spider-man Foxx was overcharged and he was seemingly killed
though they may explain that this sent him off into an alternate reality.
Peter's Black And Gold suit has been heavily shown in the toys and promotional material
Now they may pull from this they may not but from what I've been told,
the majority of the characters are what if versions in which their arcs differed slightly
so if you still like the versions from the original
and the character progression that they had it isn't gonna be ruined for you.
We also a pile of sand rising up in the trailer as well as the Lizard from the
Amazing Spider-man 2 jumping up at Peter whilst it's in a glass prison.
Now I will be doing some minor spoilers here just talking about the context of this shot
from what the leaks say but I know some of you don't wanna know anything. If you don't
want this ruined then swing out of the video but I promise i'll be providing info on these
scenes and nothing really beyond that. Take these with a pinch of salt as they might not be true
but the trailer does line up a lot with what I've been told so you have been warned.
Now apparently Strange imprisons the villains in this after they cause chaos across
New York. Whilst he tries to figure out a way to send them back Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborne
shows up to ask about their lives and they say the last thing they remember was Spider-man.
Unable to free them because of the powerful magic, Osborne goes to Peter and pleas with
him to help out and he tells him that these characters will die if they're returned home.
He also says that the Peter Parker of their world was there when they passed away and Tom Holland's
version is racked with guilt because he could potentially be sending them back to their deaths.
So he breaks into Strange's prison and steal a magical cube that's holding them in place.
We see this in the trailer and Strange supposedly chases Peter across New York
in the mirror dimension. This is why we get a big chase scene
and also see the city folding in on itself at one point like Inception.
This effect of course appeared in the first Doctor Strange movie and it's gonna make
for an amazing scene. From what we get in the trailer it looks absolutely outstanding and I
think it's gonna blow a lot of peoples minds watching this on the big screen in IMAX.
There's also a chase on a train and it's clear that strange doesn't mind throwing everything
he can including Uncharted 2 directly at him in order to stop him breaking the multiverse.
Strange clearly catches up to Peter at one point and his pushes his astral projection
out of his body which is also something that the Ancient One did to the Incredible Hulk.
Now from what Strange says about double lives, I kinda get the feeling that Peter might actually
be attempting to flip back and forth between MJ knowing who he is and also forgetting.
Potentially the spell broke reality and him constantly doing this
might be why strange says the things that he does about living two lives.
We also see what could potentially be Miles Morales Mother and if you cast your mind back
to the title reveal then you'll remember that the surrounding lines actually looked like the island
so it could be teasing at his introduction here.
Other shots include the upgraded Iron Spider suit which carries a slightly different design to what
it had in Infinity War. To me this looks a lot more inline with the Civil War version
that was in the comics but they've also made it at least line up with what's came before.
Now if we look at the happy birthday storyline, it actually culminates
with Peter fighting his entire rogues galary across a number of timelines.
This obviously lends itself to the concept of no way home and I would definitely recommend
checking out that book if you want some comics that the movie will probably pull from.
At the end of it strange gives peter parker a present and he opens it to find that it
actually brings Uncle Ben back to him for a few moments. The pair talk and have a really amazing
conversation that will bring tears to your eyes. But not mine because I'm solid as f**k.
Another interesting aspect of that novel is that it ends with Doctor Strange's realising that
by breaking the multiverse he's caused a lot of probelms in the magical world. It very much teases
that he'll be facing off against several sorcerors and potentially this could be what happens with
Wanda. It was said that Loki, No Way Home and In The Multiverse Of Madness will all be part of the
same storyline and I think that makes a lot of sense judging from the way that the comic ends.
Add stuff here for additional shots.
------
Now As for the first look as a whole it's got me really excited for this film. I genuinely
think this movie will do big numbers at the box office and had the pandemic not have been in the
way I would've estimated that this could've come very close to the two billion mark.
Marvel and Sony weren't kidding when they said that this would be Tom Holland's Endgame
and it's the culmination of several franchises and films that started out twenty years ago.
There's a lot resting on it's shoulders but I fully trust
everyone on board with the project to deliver something big and bombastic.
This is the biggest movie since Endgame for me and
outside of The Batman there's nothing that I'm as hyped for.
It's going to break the internet and might even break Christmas if they manage to pull it off.
This first look was a testament to that and I'm so hyped for it right now. To me this did
the perfect job of being a first trailer. It didn't go over the top in completely spoiling
everything and it just teased some of the bigger elements that will be happening in the movie.
However it also gave us enough info on what the story would be so that we can go wild with
fan theories and yeah, I'm just so hyped after checking out this first trailer for the film.
The action is great, the sound track is great, the ominous feeling and be careful what you
wish for tone really works and it reminds us that Peter Parker never has it easy.
Overall I'm super hyped and yeah, December can't come soon enough.
