Fun Fact: the "Hug" in the car at the beginning was actually a blooper. Tom Holland didnt know what to do so he hugged Robert Downy Jr. and he saved it by saying those words afterwards. I love that they didnt delete this scene :D

[@daynejoseph2366]

He and Tom have a few of those. When Tony and Peter are talking in Peters bedroom in Civil War, Tom messed up the blocking of the scene. RDJ goes to sit on the bed, but Tom forgets to give him space. RDJ saying: “I’m gonna sit here, so you move the leg.” was an improvisation that the Russo Brothers kept in the final cut.

[@millsrome]

@@daynejoseph2366 Yeah I bet there's more of those moments we don't know about, that's how Tom made it to Spider-Man casting finals, I'm pretty sure the RDJ audition was not the ending one (it was with Chris Evans) just because he could eliminate so many actors by improvising. Asa Butterfield lost the role by bombing his audition with him and he said RDJ was constantly going off script... and thank god for that lol

[@SigTheSauceMan]

The reason Adrian/Vulture protected Peter when the other dude asked who he is was because Vulture now has a degree of respect for Spider-Man for saving his life (even if he still wants to kill him). Also Spider-Man has always had super strength. He has the proportional strength of a spider. In the comics, one time he even managed to throw HULK into orbit. And also, he is *CONSTANTLY* holding his real strength back by a HUGE degree. In the comics, Doc Ock once took over Peter's body (but turned good and continued to be Spider-Man in his place) and basically accidentally deleted a villain's head when he punched them without holding back, unaware of Spider-Man's real strength.

[@CritterPaladin]

In the comic where he threw the hulk into orbit, it was not his Spider-Strength, but the strength of a character called Captain Universe, which he temporarily possessed.

[@markmcelligott2542]

He only managed to put Hulk into space because he was given the power of Captain Universe briefly. Peter could go all out not holding anything back and not beat the Hulk, sorry

[@TheChiraagG]

[@havok6280]

[@PhilBagels]

The first time Spiderman met Hulk in the comics, he took a glancing blow and said it was the hardest punch he ever felt. Also in the early Spiderman comics, they said there were only three characters (at the time) that were stronger than Spiderman: The Hulk, The Thing, and Thor. Of course, a lot of stronger characters were added later. But Spidey is definitely stronger than Cap. And they didn't specify how his natural muscular strength compares to the mechanical strength of the Iron Man suit. Vulture spared his life because he saved his daughter, so I assume he saved it again when he saved his own (Vulture's) life. Keaton's Vulture - BEST MCU Villain so far!

[@Ragnarok345]

27:57 I _ADORE_ this moment. In a split second Tony _perfectly_ demonstrates the very point he makes a few moments later. Peter is perfectly happy talking back to an empty suit of armor. He has no problem mouthing off to that, no fear whatsoever. But the instant that suit pops open, he almost falls over himself trying to scramble away, then continues to back away even after that initial shock fades, as Tony is just slowly strolling forward. Not backing away from the suit, but from the man inside it. Tony IS Iron Man, not a hollow piece of metal and circuitry. It’s the suit that is nothing without him, rather than the other way around, and for him to demonstrate that so effectively, both why it’s important and how it actually works, just before he says it, is damn awesome.

[@JesusOfPaign]

The Tobey Mcguire movies were some of the first superhero movies I ever saw, and I loved them as a kid (still love them now, especially for Sam Raimi’s unique style). I think it’s worth reacting to them, and you have to watch the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films as well. Not immediately, but just at some point before you see the third MCU Spider-Man film. There are little things here and there that you’ll appreciate a lot more having seen the previous iterations of Spider-Man.

[@dylancole1910]

Oh same, they were THE first superhero movies I ever watched and the reason why I took a chance on Marvel. I wouldn’t love the Avengers so much if I hadn’t seen Spider-Man.

[@Arthaius]

- You know what I find interesting, and slightly annoying/odd ... I watch a lot of these Movie Reaction channels, and most people do the whole MCU series, BUT... almost none of them do the movie "Venom" which, like the Maguire and Garfield Spiderman movies, really aught to be watched before the third Spiderman movie "No Way Home" - Venom is definitely in the MCU because he is in one of the earlier Spiderman movies, and the New Venom movie definitely has relevance in this portion of the MCU series (No Spoilers here, but... you know)

[@johnfive2440]

I am curious why is it that anyone who watches the newer Spider-Man movies think that Spider-Man doesn't have all of those powers without Tony Stark's suit. The only thing that Tony Stark's suit does is give him Tech, Spider-Man is super strong super agile stick to anything all on his own

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

Yeah, I honestly don’t get how stupid they have to be to think the suit does everything because In Civil War Tony showed him catching a car in his “pajamas” and then had the talk about how he is different and can’t play football. Even if they haven’t watch the previous Spider-Man movies in this movie they talk about the spider bitting him so you can assume he has the powers of a spider and then Tony takes the upgraded suit and Peter does everything by himself…like I don’t get how hard is for new viewers to understand his powers and they always underestimate him because his a kid. But he’s a kid that stoped Bucky’s punch while joking while Steve couldn’t, he’s a kid that defeated two Avengers, he’s a kid that took a slap from Giant Man and he’s a kid that also held a boat together from some seconds and do more impressive stuff later on in IW and End Game. like it’s crazy how MCU viewers underestimate him.

[@Avatarconner]

I think it’s the stupid ‘I’m nothing without this suit’ thing that the movie pushes. I mean I like this movie. But that whole conflict does not work when your superpowers aren’t related to the costume you have.

[@johnfive2440]

@@Avatarconner I totally understand your comment and for the most part agree, but I took that line as to mean that as a kid he felt without that suit he can't belong with them and he isn't an Avenger and he's a nobody, not that he didn't still have his powers or he knew that.... but you are right they probably should have just left that line out because it confuses a lot of people

[@Avatarconner]

@@johnfive2440 Yeah but even then, Peter's motivation isn't to be an avenger, it's to do what's responsible and what's right. I mean Peter is right to keep going after the vulture because tony couldn't give a shit and doesn't do it himself because he thinks it's small stuff and it's not important. What makes Spider-Man better is that to him, there's no such thing as 'small stuff'. Small stuff is what got his uncle ben killed.

[@commanderkorra3316]

He is also super smart, the suit is a big help. But he obviously doesn't need it.

[@wrantherage7148]

Spiderman is actually capable of unbelievable feats of strength when he needs to. The scene where he's trapped by several tons of debris, and lifts it off him, comes right out of the comics

[@Linerunner99]

According to the official Marvel profile for Spider-Man he can lift about 12 tons so yeah, he's pretty strong and that scene was near his limits but doable.

[@TheMule71]

Spiderman is insanely strong. Like, not Hulk level strong but close, at least in older comics. Current MCU movies Spiderman is weaker. Notice that the Hulk got many powerups in his career, so it's hard to compare. Point is day 0 spiderman is not much weaker than day 0 the hulk.

[@branflakes8038]

Exactly, he's still Spiderman even without the suit and still has powers!

[@buddabudda]

Came to post this. Too late. Yea, he doesn't come off as a strength type character, but for some reason they wrote him to be just stupidly strong.

[@Arthaius]

@@Linerunner99 - Yeah it's actually really weird that so many people don't realize/remember - he was bitten by a genetically altered/radioactive(?) spider test subject/experiment, and gained the powers/abilities of a spider - and everyone knows pretty much all insects have ridiculous strength to bodymass ratio, like ants can lift 100 times their own weight in nature, spiders, all insects really have this to some degree, and also, the spider that bit him wasn't normal, it was scientifically enhanced, so potentially the strength to bodymass ratio could be even more - this has always been the case, but so many people are like "How did he lift that?" - I don't understand since it's supposed to be common knowledge canon about Spiderman from like the 60s or something, you know? :)

[@ilimugur]

Despite the shortcomings of moviemaking in his era, I love Tobey's interpretation of it. (considering the era) And even though I believe Holland is probably the most promising Spider Man there's ever been, Garfield's emotional range pushes hard against even an RDJ-trained Holland, despite Holland's spectacular performance in No Way Home. (and the terrible hand Garfield has been dealt in Sony-driven Amazing Spider Man movies) Keep in mind that I'm sayin' all this as a person who still considers Holland to be his favorite Spider Man to date. (despite the almost-perfect performance by Garfield in that particular Spider Man movie)

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Why does everybody think Andrew`s the "cool one"?Is it the hipster aesthetics and skateboarding?`Cause in 2012 and `14 nerd,emo and hipster culture were far from mutually exclusive fer the record!He tripped over his words constantly around Gwen, had far more of a darker side than Tobey without a symbiote,regularly displayed abandonment issues and similar insecurities which made him relatable to me as someone who was also separated from my biological parents at a young age.

@@AspieMediaBobby he may have seemed a bit too suave with Gwen. Sure he tripped up words but he made solid moves to build a strong relationship with Gwen.

Tooms/Vulture is protecting Peter Parker/Spiderman because not only did Peter save his daughter's life in DC, he also saved Tooms' life in spite of everything he did and threatening Peter and everyone Peter loves. He knows that Peter only did what he felt was the right thing to do and Tooms realized that, and realized how dangerous the Chitauri technology really was when it nearly killed him. Peter knew how dangerous those alien power cells were and did everything he could to not only stop Tooms, but also to save him from himself. That's why he was protecting Peter from that other criminal, since he knew that if anyone knew who Spiderman was, the criminal underground would stop at nothing to kill Peter Parker, and Tooms was not about to allow that to happen after everything Peter did for Tooms and his family.

[@Senefra]

@@alexhefnerstvmovievault I concur this, as the Spider Man films cross both Sony/Disney studios, and therefore should be treated as a subset cluster of the main MCU films. Since "No Way Home" has spoilers for other plot threads from MCU films, try saving that film until after "Avengers Endgame". And highly recommend after "No Way Home" viewing "Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse". There's a concept used in "No Way Home" that is thoroughly explored as part of the plot of the "Spiderverse", and the primary character ,Miles Morales, is based especially on Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, which explains his presence in "Homecoming". More on his character here is mentioned in another comment, quoted below: "JustWasted3HoursHere 2 hours ago (edited) The scene where Peter talks to the small-time hood at 24:43 (Donald Glover) was shortened for the final version, but on the DVD/bluray deleted scenes he says something about his nephew Miles: Miles Morales, the black Spider-Man from "Into the Spider-Verse"! Although the final version doesn't have it, they have been slowly dropping hints that this cross-over is going to happen at some point. Can't wait, and I hope they do it in a way that is great. " Bonus "TL:DR Infodrop" Trivia: *Aunt May is played by the phenomenal Marisa Tomei (and distant cousin with another great actress and one of her good friends, Julianne Moore. Oh and Tomei starred in another film with Robert "Tony Iron Man Stark" Downey Jr. called "Only You", a fun romantic comedy that takes place in Rome) whose other well known film is "My Cousin Vinny", a must see incredible comedy opposite the titular character portrayed by Joe Pesci that won Tomei an Academy Award, and a film that that is admired by many in the legal field for it's procedural accuracy From that film's Wikipedia article: "Director Jonathan Lynn has a law degree from Cambridge University, and lawyers have praised the accuracy of "My Cousin Vinny"'s depiction of courtroom procedure and trial strategy, with one stating that "[t]he movie is close to reality even in its details. Part of why the film has such staying power among lawyers is...everything that happens in the movie could happen, and often does happen, at trial". One legal textbook discusses the film in detail as an "entertaining [and] extremely helpful introduction to the art of presenting expert witnesses at trial for both beginning experts and litigators"; furthermore, criminal defenders, law professors, and other lawyers use the film to demonstrate rules of evidence, voir dire, relevance, and cross examination. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals judge Richard Posner praised "My Cousin Vinny" as being:particularly rich in practice tips: how a criminal defense lawyer must stand his ground against a hostile judge, even at the cost of exasperating the judge, because the lawyer's primary audience is the jury, not the judge; how cross-examination on peripheral matters can sow serious doubts about a witness's credibility; how props can be used effectively in cross-examination (the tape measure that demolishes one of the prosecution's eyewitnesses); how to voir dire, examine, and cross-examine expert witnesses; the importance of the Brady doctrine ... how to dress for a trial; contrasting methods of conducting a jury trial; and more. In "Ten Things Every Trial Lawyer Could Learn From Vincent La Guardia Gambini", District of South Carolina judge Joseph F.

He concluded that Lynn and scriptwriter Dale Launer "have given our profession a wonderful teaching tool while producing a gem of a movie that gives the public at large renewed faith in the common law trial and the adversarial system as the best way to determine the truth and achieve justice".

Yes, it would be great to re-react to the Tobey Maguire (and the Andrew Garfield) Spider-Man movies. Marvel occasionally pays homage to the movies that paved the path to the MCU, and the Spider-Man (and X-Men-have you seen those?) movies are certainly part of that path. Also, have you seen any of the Netflix Marvel shows-Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, etc? While I really enjoyed them all, Daredevil is universally acclaimed and would be well worth watching. At least watch the trailer to get a feel for what you'd be getting into.

Peter’s principal is played by an actor that you’ve seen before in the MCU. He was a member of Cap’s WWII squad, implying that the principal is his descendent. You can see memorabilia from that character in his office. This is also one of the most villain filled Spider-Man movies up to this point. Vulture, the Shocker, the Scorpion (Matt Gargin, the dude who talks to Vulture in prison), and Prowler (Played by Childish Gambino. He will be very important if you watch Into The Spider-Verse).

[@JU5TINPDX]

17:12 interesting fact I think you would appreciate Alex: the style of hotel with an interior atrium was the product of an architect named John C. Portman. In the 70’s many urban centers were experiencing very high crime rates, and it became desirable to orient your hotel to the inside rather then the street outside. Hotels could control and shape the atriums inside their buildings when they were unable to control or clean up the streets outside. In “Loki” they show the interior of one of Portman’s hotels in Atlanta I believe as part of the TVA’s interior structure. The Marriott Marquis in Times Square is probably the best example of a Portman hotel. I only know this because the first time I visited NYC I stayed at the Marriott Marquis, and I was so intrigued by the architecture that I had to learn more about it. Kind a tangent, but I can tell you are also a curious person… great reaction as always man👍

No explanation has been given in-universe, but it was actually a contract dispute. Downey signed a multi-picture deal with large salary and back-end profits. Paltrow had a 3-picture deal and a cameo in Avengers for substantially lower pay. She wanted a new contract to do future films.

That end scene was showing once again that Vulture wasn't a specifically bad guy. He was a guy who had his livelihood destroyed. He turned to crime, but nonviolent crime out of desperation. It will be a debated by folks. Vulture was arguably a victim. A decent small business owner that was financially destroyed by the government. Look at his part of the story, just his. By the time you make it to the end credits, you see a guy who wanted to succeed in life for his family. He knew who Peter was and gave him a clear line. He never targeted people, only targeting the people who he felt took advantage of him and thoughtlessly ruined his life. In the credits scene, he denied knowing Spiderman because he never wanted to hurt Peter. Peter wasn't his bad guy, in his eyes. Peter was trying to be a hero and he understood that Peter was good. Vulture was a guy who had his livelihood ripped apart by people who didn't give a second thought to the consequences of their actions on him and he understood Peter's perspective in trying to stop him from clawing back his livelihood that was taken from him. The government/suits/Stark could have used him and his company, drawn a clear line for operations to protect the tech. Drawn that clear line like he did for Peter in the car. But they didn't and instead chose to just toss him and his workers aside with no regard for the people being hurt. They just destroyed him without even the tiniest amount of compassion, empathy, or respect being afforded.

[@TheChiraagG]

Keaton's Toomes is still one of my favourite MCU "villains". You nailed it. He's a layered and complex and frankly very human character that was shafted to the point of turning to crime. A family man that took an opportunity to get security for his family. So many people who do this in real life so sans suit and alien tech he's pretty much doing the same thing.

[@CritterPaladin]

I mean, he was an illegal arms dealer that threatened to murder a kid- but he was no Red Skull.

[@TheChiraagG]

@@CritterPaladin yup, he wasn't a pantomime comic villain, he was a grounded human villain with some very odd lines lol

[@NebulousSquirrel]

Absolutely, his motivations are grounded and he does have principles however flawed they might be, for those reasons he is one of the best villains in the MCU in my opinion. Also I like to think that his speech he gave to Peter in the workshop about the hero's not caring about the "guys like us" directly influenced Peter's choice with regards to joining the Avengers at the end of the movie. Spider-Man started off so keen to join the big leagues but came realize the smaller stuff also matters.

[@sargentrowell81]

Spiderman has super strength. That's how he lifted the rubble. It's probably not as heavy as you would expect. Also, aircraft that have multiple engines are designed to operate with less engines in emergencies, so since it has 5 engines, it would have no problem losing a couple. The issue here is that the fucked the plane up big time. If a few engines just quit it would be able to make it to an airfield to make an emergency landing. This plane is super redundant with 5 engines, considering most modern planes have 2 engines and are still able to operate on one engines and travel hundreds or thousands of miles in an emergency on only one in operating order. Also, I would recommend watching the Tobey Spiderman movies sometime just before you get to...well just watch through them sometime soon as a bit of a refresher. You could consider watching the Amazing Spiderman movies too but...I didn't and I don't feel like I missed too much, but that may be because I've picked up on enough of it and seen enough people talk about it that I was kind of caught up without having to actually watch either of them.

OK, so, there is so much to breakdown here and update you on. Aaron Davis is the uncle of Miles Morales. Aaron is a villain called Prowler and Miles becomes Spiderman after Peter. Toomes is Vulture and is a member of the sinister 6. His crew in this were Shocker and The Tinkerer. All well known villains. Flash is Flash Thompson from the comics, Peters high school bully. He eventually becomes Venom. Ned becomes a villain in the comics too. He becomes Hobgoblin. Pay attention to surrounding characters too, they'll come back. Like Betty. Actor easter egg, Principal Morita is played by Kenneth Choi. He played Jim Morita in Captain America who was in tye howling commandos. Its meant to indicate that Jim was his grandfather.

The scene where Peter talks to the small-time hood at 24:43 (Donald Glover) was shortened for the final version, but on the DVD/bluray deleted scenes he says something about his nephew Miles: Miles Morales, the black Spider-Man from "Into the Spider-Verse"! Although the final version doesn't have it, they have been slowly dropping hints that this cross-over is going to happen at some point. Can't wait, and I hope they do it in a way that is great.

The moment that 1000% sold me on this movie was when Peter is trapped under the concrete and cries out for help. The quavering voice, the shaky pitch. The fear of death in his voice, you can hear that he’s in actual pain. This isn’t some man child in college. This isn’t an adult. This is a teen. A nerdy kid who does his homework and loves his family, who was given power so strong he has to help others. But he’s still. Just. A kid. This franchise has its strengths and weaknesses, as did all the ones that came before it. But I love how inspiringly accurate of a base character Peter is. How real it feels. Man that scene broke my heart I started crying. I love this movie so much Also Zendaya as Mj is the wildest choice, and somehow she is absolutely PERFECT My favorite spider man love interest by a trillion miles. She’s so real and genuinely lovable and quirky but quirky because that’s actually who she is, not for the sake of being quirky. She’s a genuine inspiration to me.
