Ok so Spider-Man No Way Home wraps up a lot of things in Tom Hollands first trilogy but
that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of questions still up in the air over the
film.
Throughout this video we're gonna be giving answers to the biggest questions floating
around about the movie to hopefully give you a better understanding of what's happening
in the film.
Full spoilers ahead and if you haven't seen it then be warned that I can't perform a memory
spell to make you forget what happens. If you enjoy the video then please hit the thumbs

With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's cure some ass.
Ok so the biggest question that everyone has after leaving the cinema is will Peter pay
his rent on time. We end with him getting a brand new apartment but without a job it's
gonna be difficult. Peter is also studying for his GED and thus I think that he'll actually
start working for the Daily Bugle. We already know from the Tik Tok Page that Betty Brant
now has a job there and if Peter starts supplying them with pictures of Spider-man it could
lead to him being able to make enough to live on.
If you think about it the Bugle has slammed Spider-man since the start and it totally
makes sense that the MCU version would be the kind of person who'd try to repair his
reputation. I can totally see this Peter trying to go over them to get them to change their
minds by supplying them with pics of the webhead doing a lot of good deeds but Jameson will
of course twist these.
It's would add an interesting dynamic having Jameson trying to ruin Spider-man's reputation
whilst Peter is trying to repair it and I'd love to see those kinds of scenes in the MCU.
Now in the wake of the ending, one big question I've seen people asking is 'is Peter still
part of the Avengers?'
Well no, he's not.
The spell that Strange cast at the end completely destroyed all of the relationships that and
it made everyone forget Peter Parker. The kid had pretty much did the forgot about
DRE song but in real life and now no one knows who he is.
Beyond this it includes all the Avengers and as they know Peter on a personal level he
wouldn't be part of the group.
This includes all the people in the final battle of Endgame, Happy, Pepper and beyond.
In Far From Home we also learned that Nick Fury and Shield were well aware of who he
was and therefore everyone in the government is also under this spell too. I'm guessing
this includes the SKRULLS to and that Spider-man's identity will be completely hidden from absolutely
everyone. I'm not sure what happens with the cabinet at school that has Peter and Spider-mans
face side by side but the way that this spell works is that it basically hypnotises people.
Just in the same way that during an act on stage a magician can ask someone their name
and they're unable to say it, the spell stops you tapping into the part of your brain that
retains this information.
Now how this would work with the stand and video recordings of say the bugle reports
I'm not sure but I can imagine that it would go one of two ways.
Either someone walking past the stand or seeing a video would just go into a trance and skip
past it or it would work like the silence in Doctor Who.
Incase you haven't seen them they're basically Aliens that you completely forget about the
second that you look away from them. You can be staring one in the face completely terrified
the next second and when you turn around it'll be like you never saw them.
Now we probably won't learn exactly how this works until the next movie but the way that
it worked with Mephisto in the comics was that it pretty much just stopped people from
remembering it.
Thus he truly is once more just your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man and much in the same
way that Daredevil operates he's just classed as a vigilante in New York.
This is hammered home by the report by Jameson at the end in which he says that Spider-man
destroyed the statue of liberty and that the vigilante is concealing his identity.
Though it's a downer I do think it very much gives the character a fresh start and it means
that they can introduce new characters and relationships such as Harry Osborn, Black
Cat, Gwen Stacy and thus anyone who he can slowly reveal the truth to overtime. He could
also spark up somewhat of a friendship with Happy as the two both visit Mays grave at
the end and potentially they could come to know each other once more.
Either way, Peter is fully on his own now in a new apartment, no longer going off with
MJ and Ned to Boston and whilst one door closes another one opens for the future. Now I actually
have a suspicion that Sony and Marvel put this in place just incase they couldn't come
to an agreement over wether they'd be working on more films together in the future. Being
completely disconnected from the other Marvel heroes would mean that he would still be classed
as being in the MCU but they wouldn't have to worry about contractual things and stories
clashing.
We do know that Tom Holland has signed on for more movies as the web head though and
I am excited for the direction of the franchise.
Now we don't know if the spell actually extends beyond the MCU and potentially it could also
go into the other universes. If Sony ever picked up The Amazing Spider-Man 3 or potentially
Spider-man 4 we could explore the reprecussions of that.
I think it would add a lot of drama to Tobey's life if he returned home to find out that
his MJ had forgotten who he was too and we could even get a team up film with Peter and
Tobey in the same way that Spider-gwen is having another one with Miles.
Now just before Peter is thrown into the mirror dimension, Strange pushes him out of his astral
form. He goes to grab the box but Peter moves out of the way and this is because his spider-sense
is naturally protecting his body from harm. His spider sense is very much his instincts
just reacting and that's why he constantly keeps moving the box out of the way. Peter's
spider-sense is very much a part of his nervous system and muscle memory and therefore it
constantly keeps moving even when he's not fully in control of his body.
Now another question that I've seen being asked a lot centres around the villains and
what happened to them. Whilst The Lizard and Sandman weren't killed in the movies they
appeared in we do learn that they're doomed to die and it's clear that they turned back
to a life of crime in their own realities.
Though we don't see their deaths we know it was their fate to die and some of the lines
that are dropped in the movie hint towards Spider-man becoming a lethal protector.
Andrew Garfield's says that after Gwens death he got bitter and stopped pulling his punches.
Had he come across the Lizard once more I think that he wouldn't have held back. Don't
forget that this is the guy who killed Gwens father and thus he very much stands as a symbol
of pain for the character.
In The Amazing Spider-man we watched as the transformation wasn't permanent whereas in
this film it is so I think that the version we meet would've been one from years later
that had perfected the formula. In the post credits scene of the movie he was visited
by The Gentleman who was clearly putting together a team so we might learn down the line exactly
what happened with him.
As for Sandman he also killed Uncle Ben and had he turned back to a life of crime you
can understand how it would've Ben Reillied Tobey up.
The ending of the movie itself is very much about Peter almost killing the Green Goblin
and making the same mistakes that they did. However Tobey is there to stop him and therefore
he doesn't travel down this dark path with his enemies which will lead to a constant
cycle of violence.
Thus the only way to really save them was to cure and reform them and I actually love
that the ending of the movie is about healing the villains instead of taking them down.
Because of this most of them wouldn't have died upon returning home.
Norman Osborn wouldn't have impaled himself with his own glider, Electro wouldn't have
overcharged and Sandman wouldn't have turned to a life of crime. I'm not sure exactly what
would've happened with Doc Ock though as he would've still have had to drown the minature
sun but he may have returned to an earlier moment. I do think that he might have just
returned to the moment he was fated to die, regained control and then have drowned the
sun anyway as he was definitely someone who took responsibility for his actions.
How this would affect those realities has already been explained in Endgame and an alternate
timeline would simply branch off whilst the Raimi and Garfield films would continue in
another reality.
Now another big thing that is happening in the MCU is that they are finally acknowledging
the Netflix shows. Kingpin showed up at the end of Hawkeye Episode 5 and Matt Murdock
also appears as Peter's lawyer early on in the film. Though we don't know whats happening
in the finale of Hawkeye just yet, we do know that Echo is getting a solo show down the
line and it's likely that this will be based on her origin story.
In the comics we learned that Kingpin killed her father and in his dying breath he asked
the crime boss to take care of his daughter. She became one of his best assassins and whereas
the show pinned her dad's death on Clint, in the comics it was Daredevil who took the
blame. However she discovered the truth eventually and turned on her surrogate father which I
do believe will be the main plot of her solo series.
They surely have to bring Daredevil into that too and there are also rumours that she's
going to be in the She-Hulk series too.
Now though the spell is supposed to have brought across people that knew Peter was Spider-man,
Venom definitely didn't as he had never met him. However the multiverse is a strange thing
and potentially when it broke open because Venom in one universe knows who he is that
ever Venom in every universe had somewhat of a way to travel across.
The Tom Hardy version possibly only got taken over because he was currently doing something
that would massively alter Eddie's consciousness.
Lastly I wanna talk about Doctor Strange and what happens next with him. He doesn't actually
know why the Multiverse has been broken open as he too would've been hypnotised into forgetting
it was connected to Peter. Therefore I think that in the post credits scene when we catch
him reaching out to Wanda he's going as a friend because he's confused as to why this
is happening. This could lead into the pair learning about Peter and in doing so they'll
find out about other versions of the character in other realities. This could lead to her
realising that there are other versions of her children and it could end up leading us
all into the multiverse of madness.
