Let's talk No Way Home. You know, the Spider-Man movie that seemingly everyone has seen… except maybe you?
Okay, maybe you *have* seen it. But maybe, just maybe, you're secretly wondering if everyone else is over it. Like, totally over it.
Has the Spider-Verse Web Untangled?
It feels like forever ago, right? The hype was HUGE. Multiversal madness reigned supreme.
We all cried (or pretended not to) when Peter Parker had to… well, you know. (Spoilers? Still?)
But honestly, is it time to move on? I'm just asking the tough questions.
The Case for "Yes, It's Time"
Think about it. New superhero movies are dropping every five minutes. We're practically drowning in capes and superpowers!
Is re-hashing old feelings about Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield still relevant? (Don’t get me wrong, I love them!)
I mean, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness kind of stole its thunder, didn't it? Multiverse fatigue is REAL.
And let’s be honest, remembering exactly which villain was from which universe requires a dedicated Wikipedia deep dive.
The Counter Argument: "Never!"
Okay, okay, I get it. Some of you are hardcore. You live and breathe Spider-Man.
You probably have a framed photo of Tom Holland tucked away somewhere. (No judgement!)
The reunion of three Spider-Men was genuinely iconic. A true cinematic event. I will admit that.
Plus, No Way Home hit those nostalgia buttons *hard*. It's like comfort food, but in movie form.
And some people believe that the impact of it will continue to resonate within the broader MCU story.
So, When *Is* It "Over"?
Here's my unpopular opinion: it's okay to be over it. You don't have to pretend you're still thinking about Green Goblin's cackle every night before bed.
It’s alright to admit that you may have forgotten what really went down with Dr. Octavius.
We have to make room for new obsessions! Like… I don't know… Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 or whatever the next big thing is.
Of course, you can always rewatch No Way Home. It's streaming somewhere, probably.
But don't feel pressured to keep it constantly on your mind. It's allowed to become a cherished memory, instead of a current obsession.
Because, let’s be honest, we're all secretly waiting for the next big Marvel thing anyway. That is just the truth!
And maybe, just maybe, we can let Peter Parker rest for a little while. He's been through enough, right?
"With great power comes great responsibility... and a great need for a nap." - Probably Spider-Man.
So, embrace the present! Enjoy the new movies! Let the Spider-Verse web gently settle. It is, after all, perfectly okay!
