The movie was all about second chances and Andrew Garfield didn't take that for granted.
And the most improved reviewer of the year goes to Teddy.
Honestly! My man's come a long way 😭
When I first started listening, I thought Teddy was just there to be roasted haha
Go teddy!
He really has come a looonnnggg way!! As a long time listener, I have a weird, misplaced sense of pride 😂😂😂
Give this man a raise, he has a daughter!
This is a large serving size of soup.
Andrew diving and saving MJ and Tobey saving Norman was so amazing to see. An awesome form of redemption for both of them. And Tom's spiderman can finally cast off that criticism of being iron man jr now that he's really on his own. Loved the movie
I've already discovered from some other pages what I'd suspected, that I'm definitely in the minority on this (tho a small handful has agreed with me) that I came away with some mild disappointment in the level of conviction that Tobey brought to this movie. Yes across a couple very specific, small moments he totally brought what he needed to (the silent look he had into Tom's eyes while holding the glider up) but that ultimately he kind of just phoned in perhaps the majority of his performance here. MUCH to my surprise. Andrew Garfield, I bought his dedication every single minute. But for probably at least half his screen time, for me Tobey gave off a sensation he had little care to be there. Which is different than you as a character having an awkward disposition because of what's happening in the moment and not being thrilled to be stuck where you are.
This channel has become a favorite of mine. Truly a hidden gem of honest, and well thought out reviews! Keep up the great works gents!
Gotta remind Teddy that we had been seen Tom Holland's Peter's Nerdy side. He was making web fluid in class in homecoming, he and Ned hacked the Stark suit, and Peter ran back the codes to that military door to open it up using probability. In far from home he used science to disrupt Mysterio's illusion.
in this very movie, he beat Dr. Strange using geometry.
Well he said the word geometry then did a bunch of CG nonsense lol.
I wish there was more science stuff than saying the word then cutting to CG. They had this device that can print anything and you need no training for it? You just say "print a thing that allows me to control my tentacles" and it just does it. I just ignore anything science related because it's really just nonsense, and Tom Holland's spiderman made so many stupid choices over and over that he's clearly not the brightest spider around.
Yes he’s been nerdy af
There were a lot of little things I liked, too. Like when Peter's nano-tech suit takes over control of the tentacles. To me, it was almost like Tony Stark was outsmarting Dr. Octavius from beyond the grave. Which was kinda cool. I know we got Iron Man and the Hulk out of it, but if these scientific geniuses stopped irresponsibly experimenting on themselves, we'd have a lot fewer supervillains. lol
That was cool, especially because at first I thought it was Octavius co-opting the nanotech to improve his tentacles, and I was like "oh shit, he's about to be way stronger." I loved that little surprised, when Peter is just like "Nope, I have control now."
The prime reason that was a good moment was that it shows how much technology has advanced not only in the in universe world but in real life too. Otto was in awe seeing it, like it was a mythical creature coming to life before his eyes.
I think this also play into Tony advancement over the year. The way he improved his suits after every encounters. So here Doc. Otto stole Peter nano tech and implemented into his own arms. Same way Thanos rip off a piece of Tony nano tech in Infinity War and stab him with it and causing a pretty huge damage. But in No Way Home, after Doc Oct stole Peter tech and proceeded to stab him with it, the nano pieces disappeared into Peter suit and didn’t gave him the stab wound. Yes it gave Peter some damage because Doc powerful arm but no stab wound.
Just wanted to pop in and say you guys always make my days better when there's a new release. And I have had so much content to go through since finding your channel. Now...I'm going to run away fast because I haven't had the chance to see it yet!!!!!
This was an origin story and it was spiderman's disconnection from the MCU. aunt may gave him the line he'll use going forward and the other spidermen taught him that vengence is wrong... when toby stopped him from killing green goblin, that destroyed me... no words, just that look
A little moment I loved was when Doc Oc says “I should have killed your girlfriend when I had the chance” and we see the legs pop him out of the car so we know he immediately activated “instant kill” mode before he’s all “what did you just say” cause no one messes with his girl. That’s the first moment I felt his angry side on the movie
When doc ock was talking to Tobey it felt like he was talking to us older Spiderman fans who grew up with Tobey.
The shot of the 3 Spider-Man’s side by side on the Statue of Liberty really was the moment of the movie for me
Been waiting for this since the release!
Here's how I believe the new spell works in order to erase Peter Parker's existence from people's memory, while still having them remember Spider-Man.
The new spell was cast to counter the old spell, which was bringing people over from the other universes who know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. From my understanding, the old spell was bringing people who are pretty much doppelgängers to everyone of the MCU. In order to stop that, the new spell had to erase Peter Parker from everyone who lives in the MCU, not including the villains or the Peter Parkers who are already there, therefore eliminating the old spell and preventing them from coming over.
Now, here's the explanation for why the MCU still remembers Spider-Man but not Peter Parker. All the spell did was erase Peter Parker's identity, not Spider-Man. While the world knew that Peter and Spider-Man were one and the same, there was a time before No Way Home when they didn't. All the spell did was erase their memory of knowing that the two were one and same, which is ironic as it also completes Peter's desire for the world to forget what Mysterio did. Anyway, everyone remembers Spider-Man from the moment he started before Civil War to the final moments of Far From Home, just before Mysterio revealed his identity. Also, assuming the spell reaches across the entire MCU and not just Earth, that also means no one remembers seeing Peter Parker's face during the events of Infinity War or Endgame.
There! Did that help explain things a little better?
So fun to listen to you guys talk about this having as much enjoyment about it as I did. There were so many moments to geek out over here.
I’ve been subbed to you guys since 2017. Thank you for being here to share these films with me
gay
I swear y'all would get so many more subs and traction if y'all dropped reviews like these quicker.
Oh yeah, I *love* them, but their tendency to be inconsistent works to their detriment IMO.
This trilogy should be called “the stark internship” and will be viewed as the best 3-part trilogy origin story. Tom is about to do a 9 film stars-esqe saga all on his own at this point. And I’m not sure about the actual timeline but from civil war to infinity war is like 18 months, with homecoming happening in-between. Then he vanishes for 5 years, comes back sees Tony die, is mentally broken inside riddled with great responsibility, has severe trauma, tries to have a few months of down time in Europe gets totally hijacked comes home, finally has MJ but then what 2-3 months later the whole world forgets who he is.
when they had andrew garfield save mj the theatre i was in went nuts such a great moment
I do miss our girl Marissa on this, but great review boys!
Tony taught Spider-Man to not rely on his suit and gadgets. “If you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t have it.”
Aunt May taught Peter “that with great power must also come great responsibility.”
Mysterio taught Spider-Man the value of keeping his identity a secret.
You get it, Peter should constantly be learning from these people. There should always be a message we as the audience can take away from a Spider-Man movie.
The ending to this movie is just so damn good. It’s sad that Peter has effectively lost everything and everyone, but it’s a complete and utter clean slate for his character overall it makes seeing him in the next team up movie more exciting because we will finally have classic Spider-Man.
Saw this movie yesterday in Mexico. Teared up a few times and I was incredibly moved. I had goosebumps seeing all 3 Spider-Men working together and kicking ass. And when Tobey, Tom, and Andrew hugged in the end, I was breathless.
Finally!!!! I’ve been missing you guys! Merry Christmas 🎄
My heart got filled with joy with the news that Sony wants Garfield back as Spiderman. He deserves a new trilogy
GREAT video!! Rhys Ifans is welsh yes, we pronounce his name EE-VANS :D FYI for future vids if he ever comes up again! Keep it up guys :)
I work a lot so I was able to see it Christmas week and the theater wasn't super packed but they still made so much noise when they cheered in the theater and I ended up clapping with everyone just loving how alive it was. This movie and Halloween kills are the two movies this year where I had fun with how alive the theater was
Y'all are the first people I thought about when I left the theater. Also I'm not against fan service at all
Other than the villains that they did a good job on, there is next to no good parts in the movie. I was quite disappointed in the outcome tbh and they did a really bad job of explaining how everything is even connected.
And the most improved reviewer of the year goes to Teddy’s brother
(Love u Teddy)
Man, flash in tasm1 (and his deleted scene in tasm2) IS comic book flash. For as little screen time he got, we got as much as we could of his full story in the tasm series. Flash in the mcu was nothing but comedic relief, there's was only one *small* scene of him in the entire trilogy that contributed to his character, that's it (Sorry for the tangent but I'm a huge flash Thompson/agent venom fan and the fact that I'll never get a comic book accurate flash for a LONG time sucks).
I love when Spidey is taking over Doc Oc's tentacles and his suit says "pairing new device"
41:10 when he said "are you teasing me?", they apparently translated that to something like "bana yürüyor musun?" in Turkish subs, which actually means "are you hitting on me?". Everyone laughed so hard but it annoyed me a little. Makes the scene so awkward lol.
It’s so weird to me that people keep saying Andrew’s spiderman movies sucked. Sure, the second one was bad, but the first one was fine. It definetly didn’t suck imo
It was pretty average imo
Origin story again? Derivative and lame.
His movies might stink, but Tom Hardy’s Venom is honestly my favorite Venom.
Always liked Garfield’s Spider-Man/PP the best (not his movies). Seeing all three of them on screen together just confirmed my priors. GOAT
@NerdSoup have y’all watched the new trailer for Attack on Titan than dropped yesterday?!
been waiting for this soup since I left the theater
I just wished Tobey and Andrew would have talked about Harry being green goblin. But I loved this movie any way still perfect
Please do Live Action Cowboy Bebop review!
Love you guys! 💕
Took you guys long enough! I kept checking for it😅
its really hardcore that the moment in the original spiderman movie right before the blade hits, thats not goblin that is norman that was cured. he still was killed by his own glider
Me waiting for a Succession S3 review 😤
I didnt follow you when Endgame game out, so this is the most excited for a video of the channel
I haven't seen any ody talk about Edith, or any of the AI Tony created for Spider-Man for Peter Parker. I think that's why he made his own shit at the end because his name one wouldn't recognize him.
If one thing was made more abundantly clear than its ever been its that Willem Dafoe absolutely should, need & deserves to be The Joker opposite of Battinson. That shot of Peter just whaling on him and he's smiling the whole time gave me chills! I love Willem, he's just a perfect villain I hope Matt Reeves took note of it
48:08 🥺
Garfield in the MCU is the best Spider-Man.
The best and smartest thing that they did was give all of the Spider-Mens good character development. I mean Andrew Garfield‘s character is more interesting now. I was not expecting that at all. MAJOR kudos to the MCU and its philosophy on character development.
Spider-Men is already plural
Legilimens
there was one andrew garfield joke in the movie that got the biggest laugh I noticed through the whole thing. can't remember what he said, does anyone else remember what it was? the quip level was off the chart.
Could it have been his amazing delivery of “Spider-Man 3”. Unreal charism
@@jackborrone9311 actually I do remember now! It was the the cool youth pastor comment. The perfectly unexpected zinger
Glad y'all loved the movie! Easily my favorite Spider-Man movie.
I think the next trilogy will be the symbiote saga, and he will get the black suit halfway or at the beginning of the third act in the first movie with black cat being the antagonist but also a love interest for spider man while Peter is in college and he meets Gwen for his love interest when he is not Spider-man while still being in love with MJ, and the conflict can be Peter works with Gwen's dad while he is Spider-man and Felicia Hardy can work at the F.E.A.S.T. shelter, and then in the second movie Mr. Negative is the villain and he ends up leading Peter to get Gwen killed while in the black suit when sends him down a dark path, that black cat and MJ steer him out of and he gets rid of the black suit and Venom is the villain for the third one, and Peter finds out the Kingpin was forcing Black Cat to do what she was doing and he was Mr. Negative's boss, and he bribed Eddie Brook to slander Spider-man on the Bugle because Spidey was messing up his criminal enterprise
The power of the sun in the palm of my hands.
It’s nice that hero isn’t a homicidal murderer and his biggest lesson learned is to do better and help people and not to kill unlike other directors have done with heroes
Good shit gang! Excellent video
I think Tom Holland’s Spider-man has reached that Spiderman PS4 level of having gone through everything possible and now he has experience and knows what it takes to be him
What if all the Stark Tech AI like Friday still knows Peter is Spider-Man? That would be a good jumping off point for the next movie. Even better would be aTony Stark AI, but that would mean RDJ coming out of MCU retirement.
I LOVE Anna Joy Taylor as Gwen hope that happens great call
Next Spider Man lince interest?
How about John Boyega as Grant Stacy?
Bo: “Sometimes he’s Stephen A”
Me: “so TV and movies is a window to the actual multiverse?”
Any chance of season three of succession recap soon?
Oh fuck yeah, ladle it up Soup Daddies
Other than the villains that they did a good job on, there is next to no good parts in the movie. I was quite disappointed in the outcome tbh and they did a really bad job of explaining how everything is even connected.
You guys used to be quite critical about movies, especially marvel but you guys just gushing about this movie like there's nothing wrong just feels weird.
All I've cared about since seeing it twice is your review 😂
Been looking forward to this
I loved the movie and near perfect for what it set out to do. As always great review guys. However, let's not just compliment everything. There was literally no reason for Sandman to become a villain again he had 0 motive whatsoever that made no sense. The lizard was also done a lil dirty as well. Also Spiderman beating Dr Strange in the mirror verse with geometry was BS as well. That was "We need Strange out but we've written ourself into a corner".
It is an absolute travesty that Marissa isn't in this video
Amazing Spiderman Flash does have an entire arc with peter throughout the movie though. Not that I care about Flash being important, and I enjoy MCU Flash as just a fun side character, but it is accurate to say Amazing Spiderman Flash has a bit more depth.
my friend is a huge Spiderman fan, but this movie annoyed her so much. "Holland just became another typical poor spiderman without friends, just sacrificing his happiness..." Dude, isn't that spiderman?
This soup is gonna go down good!!
Been waiting for this… 😁🤩
At 50:15
Love your podcast, loved the movie.
That's why it's called No way home.
because of Ned being magic I think they will come back and maybe have their memories restored
TBF Andrew is half American and half English. His Dad is from California and Andrew was born in LA but grew up in England.
Wasn't the tear on May's body Peter's? That's what I thought
You guys are lagging on your Succession reviews lol
My question is, why were the heros and villains pulled from different times in their universes?
They were all pulled from the most recent moments possible in their lives. For most of the villains that meant before their deaths. Pretty simple no?
Did u not watch the movie?
33:45 Theory: Without his friendship with Peter Parker, Ned goes down a dark path and eventually becomes the Hobgoblin.
They also illuded to this in the movie when they talked about how Spider-Man's best friend becoming villans in their respective universes, then Ned says "don't worry, I won't turn evil." I can really see this as a setup for Hobgoblin
Just saw it last night. I’m amazed how marvel continues to put out bangers even after half their main ip is dead
You're amazed that Spiderman would be a banger?
Spiderman.
1:50 5 Villains not 6. Though there was Supposed to be 6.
Where is Marissa
Nerd soup never disappoints
About time guys
I take offense with y’all’s assertion that Tobey is the best Spiderman. Watch The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon and you will see why Josh Keaton is the best actor to portray Spider-Man. It is hands down the best adaptation of Spider-Man. All the characters have depth and are extremely comic accurate, while being evolutions of the characters. Spectacular has the best Gwen and MJ.
My two issues with this movie are 1. No Uncle Ben tombstone. I like that May says the line, I’m just so upset that they refuse to acknowledge Ben’s existence. 2. I still hate that MJ is Michelle Jones Watson. When they called her Michelle I was fine with her, but they called her MJ at the end of Homecoming and it bothered me. Just call her Mary Jane from the start, all she needs is the red hair, and I know Zendaya can pull that off.
This trilogy has been an epic origin story to Spider-Man.
The joy I felt when I saw Tobey, I felt like a kid again - haven't felt anything like that in a long time.
Been waiting for this!?
Ned will be the next Sorcerer Supreme.
I call B.S. on only Aunt May dying
I feel that this reboot feels like the animated series
You guys are so great
My biggest criticism of this movie was, in retrospect, the trailer. It gave the whole plot away, it gave every story beat away, it gave Tobey and Andrew away. So while the emotional aspects of the movie work very well, there were really no surprises.
That's more of a criticism of the marketing than the movie. I wasn't expecting nearly as much screen time with the heroes or the villians and didn't see Aunt May coming until the glider showed up. In the future, if you want to be more surprised, don't watch the trailers.
@@lanceareadbhar That's true, the trailer is not a fault of the movie. But yes, the only real surprise was Aunt May. And while I agree that the only way to be truly surprised is to stay away from everything, what is also true is that there are some very good trailers that manage to hype the film and not give away anything. Once the hype of the movie dies down the trailer will be regarded as one of its worst aspects.
Man the next villain could be anyone except hydro man
There’s no way of making that villain cool
Garfield proved he is the best actor to portray Spider-Man
Good Soup 🍜
Flash Thompson is actually a pretty major character in the comics these days, as Agent Venom, Anti-Venom, etc. So that’s what those Spider-Man fans were probably getting at lol.
The problem isn't that he "lacks depth". It's that he's a completely different character.
Comic book Flash is a football player. He's fast. That's why his nickname is "flash". Why is MCU Flash called flash? Because he's a DJ?
No Marisa?
Best Pod!
Finally my fillin of soup
"The condominium"
There was a decent stretch of time during this movie when I felt like I was getting an odd vibe (and thus, suspicious of) from May. And partly because, not like I actively WANTED Mysterio in this flick (I was worried of it collapsing from weight as is), but I've always had so much trouble accepting he's legitimately dead. So when Peter arrives at the shelter and May's already deep in conversation with Norman, and she's the one who eggs Peter on into doing something more about all this, I started wondering if she was orchestrating having all these villains released from the dungeon put into one free place. That it wasn't actually May, essentially, she'd been some sort of projection by Mysterio for the whole movie thus far (the real her restrained somewhere, presumably). So when Peter starts to have that major, drawn out "spidey sense" moment in the apartment, especially saying her name, I thought for a second THIS is what he'd only just started to pick up on. And Mysterio was about to show himself.
I'm perfectly glad I was way off here, though. It probably would've seemed too convoluted on top of how much else already going on. However, I will remain not entirely shocked if Goldfish Bowl Head does eventually make a re-entrance in the future.
