While initially a massive success, repeated viewings of Spider-Man: No Way Home reveal its flaws. The film's reliance on cameos and convoluted plot elements has set a problematic precedent for the MCU.
Spider-Man: No Way Home was a resounding success for both Marvel and Sony, weaving together every live-action Spider-Man iteration into a heartwarming narrative. Initially, the film's impact was undeniable, tugging at the heartstrings of multiple generations of Spider-Man fans with stellar performances from the returning cast.
Fan favorites like Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) received fitting portrayals, while less prominent characters like Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Lizard (Rhys Ifans) had the opportunity to captivate audiences. However, upon subsequent viewings, Spider-Man: No Way Home reveals its flaws. Beyond its status as the seventh highest-grossing film of all time, and the biggest MCU film excluding the last two Avengers movies, its success seems to have inadvertently shaped a problematic formula for Marvel Studios. The film's visual effects fall short for a project of this magnitude, and there are excessive instances of silence that appear to anticipate applause. Furthermore, the plot is riddled with inconsistencies stemming from convoluted time-travel shenanigans that desperately attempt to justify the character crossovers, making it a challenging watch for newcomers unfamiliar with the franchise. No Way Home established a new standard for the MCU that Marvel Studios clung to throughout Phases 4 & 5. Reintroducing past cast members and populating movies with cameos became the priority, resulting in high-profile actors appearing for reasons that detract from the narrative, transforming films into soulless products that prioritize fan service over compelling storytelling.
