Spider-Man: No Way Home was the third entry in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring the iconic webhead. It was the biggest ambitious cross-over since Endgame, and it gave closure to the cliffhanger from Spider-Man: Far From Home. As a result, it dominated the box office during the winter of 2021.
The plot of No Way Home centered on Peter's adventures throughout the multiverse, with him gaining and losing friends along the way. Audiences may better assess if No Way Home was still a cinematic masterpiece despite its numerous flaws by pinpointing the components of the film that don't make sense.
#1 Strange's Memory Spell Shouldn't Have Worked Because It Didn't Scrub Technology
Doctor Strange's spell, even when it worked as intended, was merely supposed to make the world forget about Spider-Man. There were no indicated technological applications, which would present major and urgent concerns for Peter.By Mysterio's message and Jameson's repeated critiques, his identity had already been exposed over the world. Flash Thompson spent so much time with Spider-Man that he wrote an entire book on it. As a result, anyone could quickly figure out who Peter was, rendering the universe-endangering spell completely useless.
#2 Despite meeting Strange's requirements, Venom never appeared.
Fully knowing Peter's identity, Venom only appeared in a post-credit sequence in No Way Home, despite the presence of Sandman, a villain who also featured in Raimi's Spider-Man 3.It would have been really intriguing if he had been present. Even before the symbiote corrupted him, Venom despised Peter Parker and intended to murder him. This would have forced Peter to embrace the fact that not all of his foes could be saved. It would also have given Tom Hardy's Eddy Brock a cause to enter the central storyline of No Way Home, as his character has a lot of experience combating symbiotes.
#3 The Green Goblin blew his chance to kill Maguire's Peter.
When Holland's Spider-Man fought the Green Goblin, he was not looking for pity. The hero battered his opponent repeatedly in an attempt to revenge his Aunt May's death.Maguire's Spider-Man intervened on the Goblin's behalf, determined not to let him make a mistake he'd regret. As a result, he exposed his back, and Osborn stabbed him in the chest. Despite having a victim that couldn't see or avoid his assault, the Goblin was unable to penetrate him in a critical region. As a result, he never obtained the vengeance he so desperately desired.
#4 Peter's Rescue Sent The Wrong Message To The College Administrator
The MIT administrator who had previously refused Peter, Ned, and MJ's applications were put in great jeopardy when Doc Oc assaulted a busy thoroughfare. Peter heroically swung to her aid and vanquished the adversary in a couple of minutes.Peter's actions were appreciated by the administrator. Despite witnessing firsthand the good Spider-Man had done for others, she told him that she would reconsider his admittance only if he quit working as a superhero. How is this her reaction to almost escaping a supervillain threat?
#5 Apart from Daredevil, no other professional heroes have stood up for Spider-Man.
Despite Spider-Man's support for Stark throughout the civil war, few other heroes were willing to assist Peter when he needed it. In his darkest hour, heroes who had formerly allied with Iron Man and Captain America both utterly rejected him.Daredevil, who had never met Peter, was the only one who offered assistance. Even after he was cleared of Mysterio's murder, Peter's popularity remained low. It reflected badly on the universe's other heroes, who frequently profess to do the right thing regardless of the cost.
#6 Doctor Strange Humored Peter's Request To Absurd Lengths
Doctor Strange listened to Peter's concerns about his identity when he came to him for help. Despite the dangers of having the entire world forget about Spider-Man, Strange went ahead and did it anyway.Strange never asked Peter what actions he had taken to address his situation earlier, even though it was Peter's responsibility not to ask his college administration to reconsider. In addition, the Doctor modified his spell six times as it was being performed, demonstrating significantly less judgment than he did in Infinity War.
#7 When Ned needed the Sling Ring the most, it failed him.
Ned discovered that he could utilize a sling ring after borrowing one from Doctor Strange. As a result, he was able to call two distinct Spider-Men to aid his closest buddy in the next conflict.Ned has previously had no trouble opening or closing his portals. During the final encounter, though, he had no clue how to turn it off, which Lizard took advantage of. The story element of Ned's inability to manage his power was employed to artificially enhance the stakes.
#8 The Sandman has no reason to betray Peter.
Sandman stood out from the other villains when he initially appeared in No Way Home. Under the incorrect belief that he was the Peter Parker of Sandman's realm, he assisted Spider-Man in defeating Electro. His main ambition throughout No Way Home was to return home and see his daughter.As a result, his choice to join the other criminals in taking Strange's box was unreasonable and out of character. This is especially true because villains like Green Goblin and Electro did not want to go back to their origins.
#9 Despite coming from the same source, Electro found the New Universe's power appealing.
When Electro was swept into the MCU, he was unusually power-hungry. He asserted that the universe's energy was greater than his own, and he took advantage of every chance to boost his own power. The villain's makeover was so drastic that he no longer resembled the villain from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.Electro is still powered by electricity, thus such a huge change is difficult to explain. It also made him irrationally pessimistic, since he was the second most difficult villain to rehabilitate, with the Green Goblin being more difficult. He didn't have a mental disorder like Osborn; he was simply power-hungry.
#10 The Vulture was never seen.
The Vulture made his MCU debut as a villain in the first Spider-Man film. Through intimate contact and the hero's bond with his daughter, he deduced Peter's identity. The Vulture made it to the finish, increasing the chances of an appearance.Despite meeting all of the prerequisites for being called by Strange's tragically shattered spell, the Vulture never showed up. As a result, viewers missed out on witnessing Parker's savage retaliation against one of his oldest foes.
