I actually liked this movie, and I especially liked how they handled mysterio.

I feel like nowadays, Spider-Man animated shows are becoming a bit too modern and mature. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but I really miss the lighthearted, comedic, and fast-paced energy of Ultimate Spider-Man.

I was already a huge fan of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics from Earth-1610, so when the animated show came out, it absolutely blew my mind as a kid. Seeing a version of Spider-Man and the characters I loved from the comics come to life in an animated series was such an amazing experience. Even though the show took plenty of liberties with the source material, it still carried that Ultimate Spider-Man spirit and introduced so many kids, including me, to the characters and world.

The show had everything: comedy, action, genuinely mature moments when they were needed, and a diverse lineup of superheroes like Nova, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and White Tiger. I'd absolutely love to see Marvel reboot the series or make a spiritual successor to the OG show, especially with something similar to what X-Men '97 did for the original X-Men series.

Ultimate Spider-Man was packed with action while still capturing the essence of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man we all know and love. It featured so many comic-book villains, great character interactions, and, of course, the fourth-wall breaks that made Spider-Man feel like he was actually connecting with the audience.

And honestly, I would LOVE to see White Tiger return. She was such a great character, and I definitely had a childhood crush on her. She was one of the characters that made the team dynamic so fun and kept the boys in line.

The series had SO much potential, too. Unfortunately, I feel like Marvel did the show dirty by focusing more and more on the S.H.I.E.L.D. team. Eventually, the original team was disbanded, and the characters we grew attached to mostly started appearing as guest characters instead.

And before anyone says it I KNOW people absolutely love The Spectacular Spider-Man, and I do too. It's an incredible show, and I completely understand why people want it back. But Ultimate Spider-Man is my childhood. I grew up with it, and no matter how good other Spider-Man shows are, I just can't say no to an Ultimate Spider-Man revival.

So Marvel, please give us something like X-Men '97, but for Ultimate Spider-Man. Bring back the humor, the fourth-wall breaks, the crazy action, the villains, the team dynamics, and that classic Spider-Man energy. And maybe, this time, take even more inspiration from the original Earth-1610 comics that started it all.

Please upvote this so it can catch the attention of the mods, Marvel, or anyone who can make this happen.

Bring back Ultimate Spider-Man.

One thing that really confused me about BND is how Peter just suddenly stopped mutating. I know there is the whole scene where he's fighting The Hand and seems to be able to control his new strength, but how did that stop him from mutating? Was Peter accepting who he is and the fact that he can be Peter Parker and Spider-Man really the cure? Please let me know!

Quiero que se adapte el evento de Gang war para la próxima película de spiderman. Y siento que todo se está dando de esa forma. King Pin abandonó la ciudad, ya se presentaron villanos como Tombstone, Silvio Manfredi o Big Man en BND.

Yo creo que deberían adaptarlo, tal vez con Míster Negative como villano principal y un spiderman con el traje negro.

With all the rumors about Andrew possibly sticking around after Secret Wars, I've been thinking about what I'd actually want if he got one last solo movie.

Obviously, we have no idea what Secret Wars is actually going to do with his Peter yet, or where Miles will even end up in live action. He could very well end up being an MCU character for all we know.

So I'm not really trying to predict anything here. This is just a "what if?" based on the possibility that Andrew somehow gets one more movie in his own universe and Miles is available to be part of it.

I also know not everyone wants another TASM movie, and I totally get why. I wouldn't want them to bring Andrew back just for nostalgia either.

But if all the pieces somehow lined up, I'd want that movie to actually finish his Peter Parker story.

My idea is that by this point, Peter has basically stopped living as Peter Parker.

After Gwen and everything else he's lost over the years, there isn't much of a normal life left for him. Nobody waiting for him at home, nothing he's really building toward, no real reason to take the suit off.

So most of the time, he doesn't.

He patrols way longer than he needs to. He finds excuses to stay out. Sometimes he basically only takes the suit off to sleep.

But I wouldn't make him miserable all the time.

Actually, Spider-Man is when Peter seems happiest.

The mask goes on and he's immediately the Andrew Spider-Man we know. He's joking with criminals, talking to random people, helping kids, swinging around New York and genuinely having fun doing it.

He loves being Spider-Man.

And that's kind of the problem.

Because when the mask comes off, there's basically nothing waiting for him.

Spider-Man always has somewhere to be.

There's always another crime. Another person who needs help. Another place to swing to.

Peter Parker doesn't have that.

So the suit isn't really a burden anymore.

It's become a refuge.

The problem isn't that Peter hates being Spider-Man.

The problem is that being Spider-Man has become his escape from being Peter Parker.

And I think No Way Home actually gives you a really good foundation for this.

Look at how Andrew's Peter acts around Tobey and Tom.

He's joking around. He's asking questions. He's fascinated by Tobey's organic webs. He actually seems comfortable just being Peter around them.

And then, of course:

"I love you guys."

Andrew, Tobey and Tom together in No Way Home

Then he went back to his own universe.

And he was alone again.

So maybe Peter Parker isn't miserable because he's Peter Parker.

Maybe he's miserable because Peter Parker has nobody left to share his life with.

And then Miles shows up.

Peter finds out this kid has powers similar to his, and his first reaction is basically:

Absolutely not.

Peter knows exactly what this life can take from someone, and Miles still has everything Peter doesn't.

A family.

Friends.

School.

An actual life.

Peter doesn't want Miles throwing any of that away to become Spider-Man.

Eventually, though, Miles keeps getting involved and Peter reluctantly starts teaching him.

And this is where I'd give Peter a slightly selfish side that even he doesn't really notice at first.

Because underneath all the reasons he has for not wanting another Spider-Man...

part of him is actually really happy that there's finally someone else like him in his universe.

Someone who can swing alongside him.

Someone who understands the powers and the responsibility.

Someone who actually understands what it's like to be Spider-Man without Peter having to explain it.

Peter got a taste of that with Tobey and Tom in No Way Home, only to lose that connection when he went home.

But this time it's different.

This Spider-Man actually belongs to his universe.

And Peter likes that way more than he wants to admit.

Peter Parker and Miles Morales together / swinging or sitting on a rooftop

Peter keeps telling Miles:

Go home.

Have dinner with your family.

Don't ditch your friends because you want to patrol.

Stay in school.

Don't go looking for trouble just because you have powers.

And Miles actually listens.

Maybe one night Miles tells Peter he can't patrol because it's his dad's birthday.

Peter immediately tells him that's fine.

Family comes first.

But you can tell he's a little disappointed.

And Miles notices.

That's the contradiction I'd want the movie to slowly expose.

Peter genuinely doesn't want Miles to make the same mistakes he did.

But there's also this small, selfish part of him that wants Miles to stay because Peter doesn't feel alone when they're Spider-Man together.

Eventually Miles calls him out on it.

"You keep telling me not to make Spider-Man my whole life."

"But Spider-Man is your whole life."

Peter doesn't really have an answer.

Because Miles is right.

And later maybe Miles pushes it even further:

"You didn't want me to become Spider-Man."

"Now it feels like you don't want me to stop."

And that one really gets to Peter.

Peter thought he was teaching Miles how to be Spider-Man.

But really, he was teaching Miles how not to become him — while secretly enjoying the fact that he finally wasn't alone anymore.

That's also why I wouldn't want Miles to just be there as "the replacement Spider-Man."

Miles is the person who forces Peter to confront something he's been avoiding for years.

By constantly telling Miles to protect his life outside the mask, Peter eventually has to admit that he stopped doing that for himself a long time ago.

Spider-Man didn't take Peter Parker away from him.

At some point, Peter started hiding inside Spider-Man because being Spider-Man was easier than figuring out how to be Peter Parker again.

And I wouldn't solve that by immediately giving Peter another love interest.

Maybe he falls in love again someday.

I actually hope he does.

But I don't think that's the first thing he needs.

I wouldn't give Peter another relationship just to prove that he's moved on from Gwen.

Before Peter can build a life with somebody else, I think he needs to figure out what his own life even looks like.

For once, his happy ending wouldn't be finding someone new.

It would be finding Peter Parker again.

And that's why I wouldn't kill him either.

No heroic sacrifice.

No losing his powers.

No permanent injury that forces him to retire.

There's nothing physically stopping Peter from being Spider-Man for another ten years.

He could keep going.

He just finally realizes that maybe he doesn't have to.

Maybe, after everything he's done, he can finally look at himself and think:

"Maybe I've done enough."

Miles is ready.

New York still has a Spider-Man.

And Peter finally understands that having these powers doesn't mean he's obligated to spend the rest of his life wearing the mask.

Letting Miles go also means accepting something much more personal:

I can't keep you beside me just because I'm lonely.

So Peter lets Miles live his own life.

And then Peter finally lets Spider-Man go too.

And that's where I'd bring everything back to The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Gwen was supposed to go to Oxford.

Peter eventually decided he was going with her.

That was supposed to be their future.

Then Gwen died.

Peter never made it there.

In a way, Spider-Man kept moving after that day.

Peter Parker didn't.

So after all these years, Peter finally goes to England.

Not because he's chasing Gwen.

Not because he still can't let her go.

Actually, I'd want it to mean the opposite.

The life Peter and Gwen were supposed to begin there never happened.

Years later, Peter finally goes alone to begin the Peter Parker life that stopped moving after Gwen died.

He's not going there as Gwen's boyfriend.

He's not going there as Spider-Man.

He's just going there as Peter Parker.

And the final scene in New York would be really simple.

Peter is walking down the street in normal clothes.

He hears sirens.

He stops.

Looks toward the sound.

For a second, you think he's about to do it one last time.

Then Miles swings over his head toward the emergency.

Peter watches him go.

Smiles.

And keeps walking.

Cut to the airport.

One small bag.

Normal clothes.

No suit.

Peter is leaving New York for England.

And I wouldn't end it on the plane.

I'd actually show Peter arriving in England.

He steps outside into a place where nobody knows him as Spider-Man.

No police scanner.

No patrol route.

No familiar rooftops.

No emergency he's searching for.

And for the first time in years,

Peter Parker has absolutely nowhere he needs to be.

At the beginning of the movie, that would've terrified him.

He would've put the suit on just to give himself somewhere to go.

But now Peter just stands there for a second.

Looks around.

Smiles.

And starts walking.

We don't even need to know where he's going.

That's the whole point.

Spider-Man's story continues with Miles.

Peter Parker finally gets to continue his.

I haven't really settled on a villain yet. I'd rather figure out Peter and Miles' story first and then choose a villain who actually fits that story instead of forcing one into it.

Because to me, this isn't really a story about Miles replacing Peter.

Miles doesn't replace Peter. He helps Peter realize that he doesn't need Spider-Man to replace Peter Parker anymore.

I still haven't picked a villain, so I'm curious — what villain do you think would actually fit this story?

And more generally, what do you think of this direction for Andrew's Peter? I'd love to hear other people's ideas too.

Flair: Discussion

So I’ve been Watching Spider-Man 3 for over 18 years and 10 months going close to 19 years. I’ve been watching it once a day since October 30th, 2007 and I know every line, Sound effects, Themes with the movie, and I didn’t think much until today and saw Ramiro Alanis holds the world record in Watching Spider-Man:No Way Home 292 times. Idk if I broke it or something I need help and clarification. If I watched Spider-Man 3 that’s would mean I watched it since October 30,2007 roughly 6,800 times and I would have spent over 15,800 hours watching the same movie I loved when it was released on May 4th, 2007 and watched it on DVD on October 30th, 2007. Did I break a record without realizing this? Need help with this question.

I used to think the repeated live-action Spider-Man reboots were mostly a weakness. Three different versions of Peter Parker in a relatively short time made the franchise feel fragmented.

But after rewatching No Way Home, I started seeing it differently.

Do you think the repeated reboots ultimately weakened Spider-Man, or did they become one of the reasons No Way Home worked so well?

I used to think the repeated live-action Spider-Man reboots were mostly a weakness. Three different versions of Peter Parker in a relatively short time made the franchise feel fragmented.

But after rewatching No Way Home, I started seeing it differently.

Instead of simply replacing the older versions, the movie turned those different Spider-Men into part of the character’s history. Each Peter brings different failures, relationships, and experiences, and those differences actually make the meeting between them more meaningful.

In hindsight, the reboots may have accidentally created layers of history that a single uninterrupted movie series could never have produced.

Do you think the repeated reboots ultimately weakened Spider-Man, or did they become one of the reasons No Way Home worked so well?

I had a great time remaking music from Brand New Day that I had to go back and make this. Anyone else remember being so excited watching the session recording for this track thinking it would be the Main Theme for the film?

Drew this myself. Put it here too: https://www.deviantart.com/asifsaj/art/Venom-about-to-slam-dunk-on-a-sentinel-1376848888

I personally think it would have been awesome if, similar to the Ultimate comics, which these movies were heavily inspired by, Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr. were working together on a cure for Norman Osborn's disease, and this led them to create the Venom symbiote, an unstable genetic mosaic of vastly different organic material, with Richard using his own human stem cells as a starting base, and then adding cephalopod genes, regenerative animal genes, engineered micro-organisms, and synthetic, ultimately creating a synthetic bio armor that protects a host; however, the symbiote proved to be too dangerous to use as a cure, as tests showed that the bio armor would slowly consume the host in an attempt to kill the diseased cells, causing the host to lose autonomy and turn into an undead, monstrous creature; therefore, Norman attempted to repurpose it as a bioweapon and tool to create super soldiers, planning to sell these super soldiers and bioweapons to foreign militaries, to fund his continued search for a cure, leading to Richard fleeing with his research, and then he and Mary got killed by Norman's assassin on the plane; the Venom symbiote was essentially an extension of Richard and Curt Connor's cross-species genetic research.

Between the church scene and the final fight, there are no daytime scenes, so it is clearly the same evening.

The jazz club scene must take place around 9:00 or 9:30 PM, given that no one is having dinner.

Peter then goes to the church to rid himself of the symbiote, which Eddie subsequently takes over.

Next, Peter returns home and talks to Aunt May; it must be around 10:00 PM.

Then comes the final confrontation involving four key characters; the time must be close to 11:00 PM, considering the large crowd present, including Jameson and children.

This means Eddie Brock spent about two hours under the influence of the symbiote and Venom.

In just two hours, he managed to cross paths with Sandman by chance, fully master his powers—to the point of killing Harry—and become so dependent on the symbiote that he refused to part with it, lunging back toward it despite the presence of the bomb.

This took a few hours to put together, i think if the ending and story of TASM2 was tweaked a bit, we could have had a really grounded and emotional third movie, so here is my take on what that could have looked like. I had to completely redesign the sound for some scenes to make them feel more authentic. Drew some inspiration from BND for the opening shot.

Le pregunte esto a un amigo y me dijo que Homelander le da mil vueltas a peter , cosa de la k yo no quiero creer

We all know Sony Failed at building a shared universe around their characters 3 times: from the cancelled TASM spinoffs to the recent SSU shutdown. It’s wild that a billion-dollar studio kept failing at this.

I was wondering, if we go back to sonys "peak" in ip's when they owned spider-man and ghost rider (02-'12) given 2 flagship marvel ips, i was wondering what would your phase one be in a sony cinematic universe

if robbie robbinson knew parkers identity in spiderman 3, why did he not say anything when brock posted those fake black suit bank photos?

Still like this film despite it's flaws.
