No Way Home worked because we needed Tom Holland's Peter Parker to do it on his own because Spidey for the most of this career, has been alone. He was a broke boy with a girlfriend who made excuse after excuse to always disappearing because his side job is putting on spandex and fighting crime. He lost his auntie, lost his MJ and best friend. He'll eventually move onto Gwen Stacy and most likely meet a kid with a white dad with waves. When are we getting a Spidey 4? The f*ck if I know because there's a writer's strike ongoing and we have to wait and see if Kraven is successful, in hopes that he'll be first up to go against the new and alone Spider-man. That's if they decide to give us Venom, fresh off of Let There Be Carnage or maybe Morbius, because he had a film too.
The Multiverse just isn't suitable for movie storytelling. There are no stakes, everything ends up muddled, and there's a clear disconnect with the translation of the comic book version of the multiverse to film. They haven't been able to make these singular events feel like one because I don't believe they even try to. They make a bucket at the end of the quarter and are already running back on defense. What's wrong with movies that open and close within the two hours? People like closure and people will rewatch and revisit those stories because decisions made mattered. I enjoyed NWH but haven't even bothered to watch it in whole since seeing it in theatres.
We can kinda be honest: no one really was banging the drum for a Flash movie. I've seen one too many seasons of The Flash TV series and know there's limitations to the character, it's rogue gallery and with the actor casting themselves. They kept throwing more ketchup (Keaton is back as Batman) and BBQ sauce (Supergirl backdoor movie?) to get people to care and no one showed up. Flash was always an end to a means. Since James Gunn got hired on, we knew this and Aquaman would the last of the DCEU that Zack Snyder started. We know we're getting a new Superman (potentially two), we know Momoa is rumoured to move onto potential a new character and we're mostly likely getting new actors as Justice League members.
Brehs, we're getting the same movie for the fourth time in the past two years. A character going back in time to fix a mistake that has everlasting consequences. This is just ongoing tale that has no end. These movies already take a long time to come out because they decided to keep pushing out that timeline schedule at every Comic-con so they shackled themselves to this. SONY has to keep making Spider-man related movies just to hold onto the rights. That's why we're getting a Kraven movie where he has Beastmaster powers. That's why we got a Morbius movie. That's why Eddie Brock showed up at the end of No Way Home. And that's why there's a Madam Web movie coming with Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney. SONY is basically desperate to hold onto what makes them money the most.
Last thing, one thing we're kinda overlooking, we're running out of talent to play these characters. All of these actors are trapped in playing the characters. We've already seen that some actors didn't even know they were in a Spider-man movie. We've also seen actors who are given the ball to be the next big characters for future arcs get in trouble for their off screen antics. I don't think anyone who wants to make a name would bond themselves to these movies and their contracts just for an action figure. Leo's advice to
Timothée Chalamet was "no drugs and no superhero movies", wouldn't surprise me if more took this advice without making it vocal.
