Best of the Best
I could literally watch this film over and over again. That goes for literally anything in the MCU. I am thoroughly obsessed with the world that Marvel has created and nurtured and brought to the screen - big and small. The detail and the intricacy of each of the stories and the way they are woven together is one of my very favorite things and a huge reason why, I think, they have done and continue to do well.

I can't help but think about Endgame when watching this one and seeing how far we've come since then, but also seeing how many easter eggs are in this film, whether we knew about them or not.

I also love this film because it's the backdrop that created the incredible show that is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - easily one of my favorites. Phil Coulson is an iconic character and I hope they bring him back in Phase 4. Just because AoS is over, doesn't mean Coulson or literally any of the team has to be. After finishing the show and rewatching this film, there are even more details that they exploited and utilized that just takes it to the next level. It's truly hard to describe.

I really love this film and this universe. The characters, the dynamics, the plots, all of it. I am super biased and I don't even care. I will love this film until the end of time.

There's a famous (and controversial) Marvel comic run called 'One Last Day', where - following his self-unmasking during the previous 'Civil War' run - Peter Parker ends up making a deal with Mephisto (Marvel's version of the devil) that everybody would forget his true identity, following Aunt May being shot by an assassin.

Sound at all familiar?

Yes, it's used as the building blocks for this movie, where Peter's identity ahs been revealed to the world by Mysterio during the end-credits of the previous movie ('Far from Home'), with a knock-on effect on friends and family.

Instead of Mephisto, however, Peter seeks help from Doctor Strange, who agrees (for reasons) to cast a spell in order that everyone would forget who Peter was - a spell that goes awry, and that leads to characters from the previous non-MCU iterations of the Spider-Man films finally joining the MCU. Some of those characters are more effectively scary here than they were previously ...

This is maybe a little bit slow getting started, with plenty of nods and Easter Eggs throughout (including FEAST, where Aunt May works) to both the comics, games, and previous Spider-Man movies, and ends with, effectively, the character of Spider-Man being reset: no longer part of The Avengers; no longer with MJ, Aunt May, Ned or even 'Happy' Hogan knowing his identity, back to being your 'friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man'.
