‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’: A Big Marvel With Small Responsibilities?

The Marvel and Disney-backed Spider-Man trilogy ends with a fireworks display of special effects and multiple acclaim

This column is without major spoilers.

For the first time in the cinema, Spider Man, the “friendly neighborhood hero”, is unconvincing and can no longer separate his normal life from his heavy responsibilities as a superhero. When the sorcerer asks Doctor Strange for help (Benedict Cumberbatch, flawless) the stakes become more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it really means to be Spider-Man…

To close this new trilogy (certainly not the last), Sony and Marvel Cinematic Universe Make universes collide and dig into time and ages. No longer a surprise, as it has appeared in many trailers and TV commercials, Spider-Man must face his ancestral enemies, from the two previous movie series; The first, dating back to the early 2000s, was conducted by Sam RaimiHe is represented by Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), green sprite (Willem Dafoe) and the hypnotic man; II, Mark Webb, by Lizard and Electro (Jamie Foxx…five enemies have landed despite their existence in a post-Thanos world, where the Avengers (almost) no longer exist (game over, 2019) and where Spider-Man is revealed with a final major hit signed Mysterio (away from home, 2019).
