Spider-Man: No Way Home has become a cultural phenomenon for bringing back beloved Spider-Men to the big screen - Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield... that being said, this is still Tom's movie, and there's a very well executed scene which is all about Tom - and that's the Apartment scene. This time on Why It Works I wanted to talk about how the scene is executed, why it works so well, and why the apartment fight is one of the best scenes in the entire movie.

I really like that throughout this whole trilogy, there's a natural progression in the villains Peter fights: In Homecoming Vulture is just a guy working to support his wife and daughter. He doesn't want to kill Peter and he even protects his secret identity in the end. In Far From Home, Mysterio is selfish and narcissistic. He wants people to idolize him and he is willing to kill Peter and his friends if they get in his way. In No Way Home, the Green Goblin is pure evil. Simply because it's fun for him. He kills Aunt May and he hurts people because he enjoys it.

[@icedcapplord710]

It also should be noted all three villains represent different, warped aspects of Parker himself Vulture is an everyman like Peter is, but becomes a more disgruntled and frustrated man when things go awry for him Mysterio has the makings of a resourceful and intellectual individual, but lacks compassion and vulnerability Green Goblin is the pure antithesis to who Peter is. No humility, no responsibility, but with all the power Peter has to get what he wants

[@chriss.249]

Eh, id say it goes further with goblin than "i like ta do bad things". For goblin, breaking spidey was to prove that even the best of us can have a darkness inside, and should use their power to do what they want. He wanted Peter to side with him an be like him.

Actually, by the way Peter says “I know”, I’m still assuming Ben may have existed in this universe as well. Peter may have heard those words already and May’s just reminding him of them. Otherwise, why would he have been a hero up until now? We know from his introduction in Civil War that there’s way more to it than just idolizing the Avengers.

[@themadtitan7603]

That's been a debate since the film came out, does Peter say "I know" because he generally knows that he should his powers for good or did he hear the great power comes responsibility line ? Unless shown otherwise in the Freshman Year series, I think it's more the former judging by how he acts the first two films, I'm aware of what he said in Civil War, but I always thought there was a disconnect between how Markus/McFeely wrote Peter and how Sommers/McKenna depicted him in the Home trilogy.

[@rickblaine9670]

[@Alec.V.]

This movie had the best representation of Peter’s spidey-sense since The Amazing Spider-Man 2. FFH had some decent moments, but this movie knocked it out of the park with the sound design and the disorienting camera movement. It creates a sense of anxiety and really puts the viewer in Peter’s headspace.

[@Xlaeflicks]

The scene with it in Infinity War was also pretty decent

[@ThinkingMichael]

Inaction is what got Uncle Ben killed with the previous 2 Spider-Men. Action is what gets Aunt May killed in NWH. I think that reversal is a brilliant parallel. With the previous 2, it was the loss of Uncle Ben that made Peter want to take action. But in NWH, it is the loss of Aunt May that makes him want to give up.

[@Jiub_SN]

[@pian-0g445]

I still can’t believe (in my opinion) that they made green goblin even better than in the original film. He’s genuinely scary here

[@Fi_Sci_]

No Way Home really defined May as a character compared to the previous Home films. Her development in this movie putting Peter on the right path was great, and made her death all the more impactful. The Apartment fight scene still gives me chills with how it’s executed, and I wish the same quality could’ve been applied to the Spider-men scenes. Though I understand the reason for that was to keep it secret, but I won’t deny the choppiness of takes in between each Spider-Man line.

[@TechnoArpan]

I really wish they kept some of the scenes Merissa Tomei said convinced her to join and she was excited to do. Homecoming was supposed to have a scene of May preventing a bullying happening and Peter watching it from a distance. But she never talks or discusses it with Peter. It shows two people inspiring each other without being aware that they're inspiring the other. FFH was supposed to have *the conversation* from J. Michael Schrazenki(I probably butchered that name). That's the only problem I have with the first 2 MCU Spidey movies(I also don't like EDITH but that was a plot device so whatever)

[@jermainehaslam5634]

While it was heartbreaking, it was refreshing seeing Peter lose someone else that he loved other than Ben Parker and that's one of the things that was handled really well in The Amazing Spiderman 2 was how they handled Gwen's death!

[@Browntable]

Update: Norman’s serum simply wasn’t finished, that’s why it didn’t work. Personally I prefer the reasonings I gave in the video, one would mean he was always manipulating the serum in secret, the other would give Tobey Peter more meaning as he would help develop an actual working Goblin serum along with Tom Peter. But oh well.

[@TimelessTransience]

This is a month late, but I like your version better than it merely being unfinished, too. It was very similar to what my initial thought was in the theatre: that Goblin wanted to reverse the serum's effects and get rid of Norman.

[@TheDrsalvation]

I'm gonna ignore that and go with your version instead.

[@shonenbois]

The way Green Goblin laughed even when Peter was punching the shit outta him just sent chills man

[@itsjustaaron2907]

What I love most about this sequence is how it tackles the criticisms of MCU spidey and brilliantly utilizes them. People complain about Tom's spidey having it too easy, or being too childish, or never really hitting rock bottom. People would say "Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man went through so much more, his villains were actually menacing and scary compared to Tom's." Although I don't completely agree with the criticism, I can see how someone would. Watts brilliantly made the decision of using THE Spider-Man villain to pull peter down from this MCU high-horse and absolutely demolish him in a cold, brutal, and demolishing defeat. Tom's spidey has fought a man who actively tried not to kill him because he had a moral standard and a man who didn't want to kill him but didn't hesitate to do so once he interfered with his plans. Dafoe's goblin has no moral standards, no missions, no plans, he just wants to be the antagonist, the essence of evil. So seeing Tom's spidey fighting someone like that after these last few movies you can see the pure panic in him once he realizes exactly what he is fighting, and that he hasn't even begun to see the worst of it.

[@Wolfman7870]

The memory wipe and returning Spiderman to his roots are what seals the deal. MCU Peter was Iron boy jr in alot of minds until he made the CHOICE to have everyone forget him and go from cosmic hero with access to infinite resources and super- powered friends to friendly neighborhood Spiderman struggling to pay his rent. The movie's plot and some would say even the entire trilogy may have had a rocky, low stakes start but that ending is chef's kiss and undeniably fulfilling. "The screen writers literally told all the cynics to get bent and it's terrific.

[@Jiub_SN]

It doesn't tackle the criticisms, it corrects mcu spidey flaws and leaves him in a state more reminiscent of the comic books putting us in a place that he's needed to be ever since homecoming. We have finally gotten the Spider-Man message into an mcu film, we haven't seen anything this good since Spider-Man 2.

[@dog8438]

I remember my jaw literally dropping in theatre during this scene just because I didn't expect to see MCU Spider-Man finally face something so brutal. The MCU Spider-Man trilogy had been fairly light hearted with just a few serious scenes, but this scene marked a pretty major tone shift that continued for the rest of this movie and I think it's apart of the reason why I love No Way Home so much.

[@andrewferri7732]

So glad they let Defoe act without his mask, he is genuinely the MCU Heath Ledger, suchhhh a good actor. The apartment scene was one of my favorite MCU fights in general, it was grounded and brutal unlike much of the CGI, high flying action in other MCU movies. May's death and how she didn't register that she was dying was brilliant too, with her repeating "just bumped my head"🥲 Absolutely amazing

The message to me is Peter Parker is forgotten but Spider-Man lives on and too me that scene is the best Spider-Man last swing scene due to the fact that it shows Peter is going to struggle throughout his life but is still able to bring hope.

[@guicaldo7164]

Peter had actually heard a similar version of the "with great power comes great responsibility"-line. If you remember his introduction scene in Civil War, he paraphrased it. "When you do the things that I can do and do nothing, and then the bad things happen... they happen because of you". Remember that at the time, the whole premise was "we've already seen Spider-Man's origin story so many times, we don't need to see it again". He had an Uncle Ben, he let him die because he didn't stop a criminal, all of that still happened, and it shouldn't be ignored. His responsibility just hadn't been challenged to _this_ extent. With his portrayal in the MCU so far, it feels like the lesson hadn't quite sunk in as much as it did with the other iterations.

[@DZMoops]

One thing I want to mention is the Goblin's final line in the movie: "I may be the one who struck the blow, but you... killed her." I've heard a lot of people say its cheesy and just useless taunting, but I think its one of the most important lines in the movie. This challenges everything Peter stood for to the extreme, which is helping others no matter the personal cost. I believe this line came to Peter's mind in the coffee shop when he noticed MJ's scar, realizing he should sacrifice everything and everyone he loved so that they may continue to live in peace and safety.

[@ceased_]

11:10 the serum didn’t work because it wasn’t finished. A little before this scene happened, there’s a scene where we see a shot of all the villains cures being made and there’s bars, and Norman’s bar wasn’t fully full. 11:48 I think Peter has heard it before, maybe. May said it and I guess it was a reminder for Peter because after she said “With great power, comes great responsibility”, Pete says very lightly “I know..”. It was also in the script. But, again another great video essay, Browntable. Looking forward to many more

[@anonymousmarv5048]

Some people really need to understand that MCU Peter's actions were intended to start as low stakes but slowly become more life altering, status quo changing stakes as time went on. He was supposed to live like a kid at the beginning of his story but then has to live like an adult by the end of his trilogy. Not free of extreme consequences. That feels more real to me. What is being a kid if not living life inconsequentially yet having to learn consequence?

The entire apartment sequence was just perfection, man. I LOVE that his Spidey Sense had never gone off this severely before. That says a lot about the kind of creature Goblin was....

[@ishraqtalukder4518]

Intense fight scene in Spider-Man movie history, but has the benefits of both Tom Holland and willem dafoe actually did the fighting and stunts, and it’s actually a introduction to Tom’s Spider-Man’s hand to hand combat.

[@bobguy2362]

I wish the whole movie was shot with as much style as the apartment sequence

[@ethandoyle4978]

I’m glad u went into detailed with this scene , gives me an idea of what to look for next time I rewatch it. Also I have a theory that Tom s Spider-Man had an uncle Ben in his universe but he died before Tom could here the “great power and responsibility” quote from him.

[@stephan2807]

that is so true. no music just throws you off and feels creepy in a sense. look at the Dark knight trilogy. the scenes where they don't use music throws you off like when batman fights bane and loses there's no music until the end. the spider sense part is my favorite scene in any spider man scenes

[@randidorrenbacher5433]

"With great power, must also come great responsibility" While Peter may not have heard those exact words, this is something he had ALREADY learned at some point. "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." ---Peter Parker, Captain America: Civil War But after the events of Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame & Spiderman: Far From Home knocked him off keel he needed to be reminded of that lesson. And that is what Aunt May did for him, brought him back his center.

[@AhkymBrizzy]

Just rewatched ‘No Way Home’ last night. Excellent video. The apartment scene really was where the movie took it to the next level.

[@Tryingtogetradical]

I agree. The spinebuster when Peter gets tossed back into the hallway made me gasp from how brutal it looked. Tbh one of the best fights in the MCU

[@4KToday]

While I think it was a great scene, Jon Watts could’ve edited some aspects better. When Goblin is revealed to have taken over Norman’s body, too many camera shots switch back to Aunt May which take away from Willem Dafoe’s captivating acting. I think the discussion between him and Peter in the apartment could’ve been much more iconic if the focus had mainly been on them. Subtle but big difference.

[@leonardo9259]

Yes we watched that video too

[@alexm.d.3178]

En mi opinión eso le hubiera quitado tensión a la escena y hubiera quedado como un monólogo solo, los cortes que hay son para ver la reacciones y acciones de los personajes en la sala y ver como motivan las palabras del Duende verde en cada uno

[@sebaxtian78]

Something I didn't fully understand is that when Spider-Man and Green Goblin are fighting as they fall through the building, we never see anybody else besides the important people (May, Peter, Goblin, etc). They even fight in another apartment on another floor and it only had the furniture. Not even in the lobby do we see people running away from the battle. I don't remember anybody mentioning that the building was evacuated on a previous scene, but it was weird when it started

[@Browntable]

I was gonna mention that but I wanted to mostly just talk positives. I absolutely agree, the scene may have become genuinely the best fight scene in a live action Spider-Man movie if there was the added danger of harming civilians. People running around, Osborn threatening their lives similar to the train fight in Spider-Man 2 would’ve been fantastic. Might make a video on this actually.

[@ipman127]

It was probably because most of the residents were in their rooms majority of the fight cause it was night time

[@Milmiskew]

The dolly zoom shot was when the tone shifted, and from then on, I truly loved the movie.

[@isthatyoucedric7854]

So nice to find a legitimate analytical film fan who is actually willing to talk about MCU films positively, and who's not afraid to acknowledge the awesome action stuff even if it's silly or heavily cg.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

I have no idea how they made the hammy, over-the-top performance of Willem Dafoe work in a modern marvel movie, but when he cackled like a lunatic as Spiderman was pummeling his face, literal shivers down my spine. Because don’t get me wrong, in Spiderman 1 I just think it’s funny, it’s not scary and I will never find it scary and I know for a fact that’s not how Raimi was actually trying to play that off. But they changed him almost NOTHING, and by reframing it, he becomes TERRIFYING.

[@solezeta1314]

Green Goblin smiling and laughing while Peter endlessly punches him was the freakiest part to me

[@safariatari1094]

I think this scene and the movie in general kind of confirms that an 'Uncle Ben Incident' definitely happened, but Ben never told Peter that classic quote. I think he understood that he was meant to help people with his powers, but it's not until Aunt May speaks those words into existence that both Ben's and May's deaths begin to represent Peter's burden and responsibilities.

[@alexm.d.3178]

Para mí en la escena que confirmaron que el Tío Ben murió fue cuando hablan por primera vez los 3 SpiderMan, Tobey habla del Tío Ben y Tom nunca pregunta quien es Ben o si ellos tuvieron un Tío.

[@vishalthefirst4140]

That spinebuster from Osborn on Peter was a sick move

[@BlueHoodieFilms]

Man I love that scene. I could feel the tension, this scene made goblin more scarier than before in my opinion.

[@TheRaxxess]

I don't see people talk enough about how Goblin fought in this scene. You mentioned the way that its very grounded and real. The way Goblin fights is using his super strength and just tackling and shoving Peter around. It really creates the feel that he isn't trained. He's not jumping around, he's not blocking punches. He fights exactly like you would expect of a person that just woke up with inhuman strength.

[@smac646]

you love to see some Cop Car talk. Haven't seen Clown yet tho

[@cutieovo9943]

This scene is arguably the best scene produced in a marvel film or show. Dafoe was incredible. His ability to shift into a darker version of the character so effortlessly is unbelievable. And the cackle when Peter is repeatedly punching him in the face will forever creep me out. This scene had great action, a extremely tense moments, and heart wrenching moments. It was an absolute masterclass and it is the type of cinema marvel should aspire to produce going forward.

[@loganbigmo]

Have you seen _Daredevil_ the show?

[@mickeymouse7726]

I love Spider-Man no way home thank you for this I've seen alot of people saying Spider-Man no way home is overrated and don't give the movie the credit it's due I personally believe it's a miracle a movie like this exists because the rights to Spider-Man and all the spider-man characters are so hottly contested between Sony, Marvel and Disney and also Hollywood doesn't have the best track record with making satisfying sequels just look at the recent projects in franchises like Star Wars, Star trek, fantastic beasts, game of thrones etc

[@PerformanceMatrix]

The amount of blur focused they did to heighten this man sense so you could feel immersed was crazy.

[@rogerargueta5769]

They all kill it in this movie... sandman and the lizzard where more background but still supported. Bro.... Andrew and Toby ... KILLED IT.

[@wifparanoid304]

The lighting in the second half was phenomenal compared to the first half. It was dynamic, not just well lit everywhere.

[@stargazer6510]

Man, we love seeing spiderman getting the short end of the stick.

[@tametalks6102]

As someone who's been watching your content for years, I love the direction that this channel is going, it feel like a more fun and chill environment but at the same time it's still an educational channel for the most part. (don't get me wrong your old vids are still gold) not only that but I am in love with the pilot for interstellar ranger commence I am hype for this show beyond belief.

[@beabea3770]

Honestly I hope Jon Watts returns for spider-man 4 as long as he continues the tone of this scene and visuals

[@Matthewtopia]

Definitely my favorite scene in the movie, literally hits all the right parts. It's epic, horrifying, action filled, sad, and gripping. Especially the part where beating is punching goblins face over and over again but he is just laughing, that, was terrifying in theaters and I loved it.

[@Ubermunchies]

That spear/gore through the floors was one of my favorite things about this movie - it was such a pristine choice

[@jaylenharris343]

Sam raimi fight scenes are always brutal. Especially when it comes to Peter getting the snot kicked out of him.

[@rahulmenon9530]

This wasn't a Sam Raimi fight though

[@spike5499]

@@rahulmenon9530 and it was still brutal

[@wDoucheCanoe]

Thank you for mentioning Cop Car, supremely underrated, and I’m glad Marvel is NOW allowing directors some free reign

[@zxtreme31]

I like the shot to shot technique for the Peters interaction cause I felt like it was a good way to showcase that while they’re all Peter, they’re also 3 individuals with similar but different personalities. It makes it feel more like you’re listening in on a conversation among family or close friends, with your head shifting to each speaker

[@SJ_RANKS]

I was actually scared of the goblin during this scene it felt similar to heath ledgers joker peters hitting him and he’s feeling no pain he’s just laughing more and it was downright scary

[@BrodyW2012]

When I saw the spider-sense scene I immediately started to feel my stomach drop cause I automatically knew shit was about to happen

[@megarocketry]

It's sooooo refreshing watching someone review one of my personal favorite scenes, when I watched this in theater I was flabbergasted on how well this scene was shot I loved every second of it.

[@MacedonZero]

Fun fact, the real reason the serum doesn't cure the goblin, is because it needed time to finish. You see in the movie that it takes time to synthesize. It's quick but you can see that by the time Aunt May grabs it, the serum isn't done yet.

[@lethalprotector2078]

I love when lizard comes out of nowhere and tells Peter he said there would be consequences for trying to help all the villains.

[@ImNotHelpful]

Gave me goosebumps for sure , every time. It’s so well done

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

It works despite the editing cutting DeFoe's monologue

[@OgDj2024]

Great video, 👍🏾 and I really love this movie. Everyone was great in it, and Willem Dafoe murdered the reprising roll of the Goblin! He did a magnificent job!

[@luckieintheloop]

always nice to get a browntable notif

[@danklord4315]

I like how in all the Spider-Man iterations movies it’s always green goblin that breaks our heroes. In tobey trilogy green goblin he makes Peter have a guilty conscience for letting him die and having to keep this from harry In Tom trilogy he loses his aunt and takes it as a complete failure of a hero, he fears green goblin at first but then turns to utter blood lust And lastly Garfield’s which I feel was the most impactful. he lost a friendand girlfriend which obviously haunted him for the rest of his life. Before No Way Home, amazing Spider-Man gave me the impression that he lost the most in comparison of the rest, although I can see the point tobey lost hary and Tom lost stark

[@Stereo6400]

The apartment fight and the following scene on the roof were some of the only scenes in a movie ever that made me cry, this was the best Spider-Man movie by far honestly.

[@dvdpatrick]

I didn't realized this scene was SO good...

[@mahiyatsafiyullah7103]

Holy Cow you know that Doctor Octopus line from Spider-Man 2 is basically the whole theme or point of this film "Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most. Even our dreams". Quite mad how they worked that in without mentioning it as Peter does the right thing, he gives up his dream to be happy with MJ and Ned.

[@TRG_R17]

The Reason The here didn't work for Green goblin was because it wasn't finished if you look at the background or watch a Easter egg video you'll see that it was only 80% finish

[@TurkeyFaceX]

This entire movie was one of the best MCU films. Not because of the old characters returning, although that did get the movie the attention it deserves. But because the film had focus. The reason past Spiderman films before it with multiple villains didn't work is because there were multiple storylines. Each time one of the villains was on screen, their story continued. And when another villain was on screen it would cut to their story instead. This movie works despite having so many characters because there is only one plot focused on sending the villains home cured to attempt to prevent their potential demise. It doesn't have a convoluted mess, instead it focuses on one solid plot and therefore it is the first Spiderman film to have so many characters and still work.

[@allenjohncarpio9600]

This is by far one of your best videos, man. I really appreciate you taking the time and dedication in dissecting this film. Cheers!

[@rk9515]

I do love the apartment scene, from Willem Defoe change to goblin to the cinematography between Peter spider sens going off and you a camera on him seeing his reactions. Goblins monolog and the losing of Aunt May and her delivery of the Iconic line. My biggest problem was I didn't care about Aunt May's death.

[@uchihabomber1296]

This scene was really one of THE best spider sense scene in any Spider-Man movie

[@davidmckesey7119]

Jon watts is amazing. Cop car is so tense

[@wayfarinwanderer]

I love that you brought up Giacchino’s new leitmotif. That was really the missing puzzle piece to the MCU Spider-Man theme. I REEEAALLYY hops they keep that theme for Tom’s next trilogy.

[@Infamous-K]

Thanks for such a thoughtful video. I appreciated hearing your take.

[@HarjotYeet]

i want to relive this scene, it was just so well done

[@KillerTacos54]

Correction on 11:50, Peter has definitely heard those words before, hence why he says "I know, May." A subtle hint to Uncle Ben's existence in the MCU

[@legendofjess6044]

I think it can just as easily mean he understands what she said, not that he’s specifically heard it already. But I guess we’ll find out with the Freshman Year series

[@Cockslicer97]

That apartment scene was really intense

[@amanpun2884]

When i first watched that scene my heart was pounding

[@sayaksarkar3265]

Woahhh, what a video! This video deserves way better likes, comments and subs. Keep going bro it’s superb.

[@mr.moviemafia]

I love the appreciation you showed to Jon Watts in this video, he often gets looked over as a big part of why this movie worked

[@TheDamnWinner]

Im glad you pointed oht the comparison to the rest of the movie. When i saw this scene in theaters it felt like i was suddenly watching a different movie with a different director. Crazy
