The MCU Spider-Man first appeared in “Civil War: Captain America” and then in the Avengers series and the MCU Spider-Man series, starting with “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” This is the third and final Spider-Man film in the MCU. It is rumored that this is, in fact, the last Spider-Man film in the MCU. It has been a long-standing Spidey problem, and it seems unlikely that Sony and Disney will be able to resolve it.

This section contains spoilers for this film.
An all-star cast of characters, friend and foe alike
The film features an all-star cast of past Spider-Man actors, such as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, and the villains they appeared as, making for a genuinely all-star combination of friend and foe. From the first preview of the Tobey Maguire series, when Dr. Octopus appeared, I knew a hot development awaited us. Still, I did not expect it to go this far.
Starting with Doctor Octopus in the trailer, we have the Green Goblin, Electro, and Sandman. These villains were originally good people, but they became villains and made mistakes in their own Spider-Man worlds due to various factors.
Peter (Tom Holland), the Spider-Man of this world, decides to break the cause of these villains, return them to their former goodness, and send them back to their original world. This is a gentle development. It shows that even bad people can start over rather than the idea that evil people must be defeated. Doctor Octopus was almost an accident.
But in the process, he loses his beloved Aunt May. It is where the Spider-Man series’ famous quote comes in: ” With great power comes great responsibility. It’s scalding. This line was so hot for Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who are Uncle Ben, and for me, as someone who has seen the old Spider-Man movies, I couldn’t help but get excited.
The MCU version of Peter Parker is in despair, and the Raimi/Amazing version of Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and his friends come to his rescue!
Real Villain Green Goblin
From here on, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man is the first Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield’s second Spider-Man.
A remarkable presence in this film is the Green Goblin, Spider-Man’s most potent and worst nemesis. In the first Spider-Man, the Green Goblin is the father and friend of a friend; in the second Spider-Man, he slaughters the heroine, Gwen Stacy. In this film, he was the cause of May Parker’s death.
Willem Defoe plays the same role as in the first Spider-Man (2002), and although it has been more than 20 years, he does not look much different from the first Spider-Man.
The End of MCU Spider-Man and the Future of Spider-Man
Many scenes in this film are truly eye-opening. The reconciliation between Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man, the second Spider-Man saving MJ, who couldn’t save Gwen in the past, and tears here and there! When Spider-Man tries to make the same mistake as the first Spider-Man in this movie, the first Spider-Man stops him and tells him not to make the same mistake and to say the young man who still has a future. I watched the first Spider-Man movie when I was not yet an adult, and when I watched it as an adult, it gave me something to think about.
In this world, Peter Parker ultimately saves it from distortion and villains by erasing his memories of his best friend Ned and his beloved woman MJ. On his lonely back, the word “hero” seemed to hang firmly and loudly. I interpret this to mean that Peter Parker is still helping people in need today, even if we can’t see it.
It is the best Spider-Man movie ever made, a human drama that reminds us that life can start over, and the best final film in any series of movies, old or new, Western or Japanese.
The end credits had fan service and hinted at what was to come! It was indeed a very satisfying film for fans!
