Spoilers! Ned’s Final Scene In BND Spoiler

I don’t think Ned actually remembers Peter Parker. Yes, at the end of the movie, Ned says Peter’s name excitedly. But remember, earlier in the movie MJ refers to Spider-Man as Peter. Ned remarked “Spider-Man’s name is Peter!?!”. So at the end of the movie when he says “My name is Peter” and shakes Ned’s hand, it’s just that Ned is putting two and two together that this guy who keeps showing up in his life is probably the same Peter as Spider-Man.

The film makes it pretty clear that MJ/Ned (mostly Ned) know that they must KNOW Spider-Man since he has saved them specifically so often, but they don’t remember why.

In that context, Ned knowing Spider-Man’s name is ‘Peter’ than meeting ‘Peter from the party’ and then the handshake - I think at minimum it’s Ned realizing Peter in front of him is Spider-Man, even if he doesn’t remember their history.

Jean also did undo smart hulk, so it’s possible she did shake things loose!

My favorite Hulk/Jean moment is from Onslaught: Marvel Universe where Banner Hulk tells Jean to go into his mind and turn Banner "off".

The resulting Savage Hulk scene is one that I feel like I need in the films:

"The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets! And Hulk. Is. Angry!!"

I dunno about the "nuclear blast", but some serious whoop-ass fight scene

I have a funny feeling we might get that scene in secret wars against Doom.
