If you told me in 2012 after I leave the theater watching Avengers 1 that we’ll get an MCU movie in the same continuity where Spider-man gets shot by Punisher using a sniper rifle, but only because he was trying to kill Jean Grey, who was talking to Aunt May. But Punisher was just trying to kill Jean Grey because she used her powers to do dangerous shit like controlling the Hulk. And that’s probably why Spider-Man and Hulk won’t be around in the next movie when Thor assembles the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four to fight Dr. Doom.

I would be like what the fuck did you just say.

If you had told me "Yeah, Aunt May somewhat kicks off the X-Men post-death by way of her ghost/memory talking down a rogue Jean Grey in a Spider-Man movie" I would've lost my mind.

And yet, it's so good. I am LOVING how they're bringing mutants in this way. Spidey is becoming the connective web of the MCU, turns out. But still, despite all that, it was still a grounded Spider-Man story. This is the promise of the MCU, just having a rich world with a wide cast of characters that you can set stories in

u/Worthyness Thor Aug 03 '26

He's also going to be partially responsible for mutant restraining collars. That's really gonna eat at him.

Kitty will hate him the most and invent a few slurs specifically for him.

u/flibber_deez_gibbets Aug 03 '26

yeah, and with how unique and isolated he is already, it’s a great direction

u/streakermaximus Aug 06 '26

In an attic! With a 3D printer!

u/DeusVultSaracen Iron Man (Mark XLIII) Aug 23 '26

Hopefully they give him some shit for his creepy-ass flock cameras too

u/mlc885 Weekly Wongers Aug 01 '26

I mean, Spider-Man has always been up with Batman and Superman as one of the most loved and recognized heroes, I'd probably put the X-Men there too but the first three you can ask your elderly parents about and they know kinda

21

u/flibber_deez_gibbets Aug 01 '26

Yup. and in a way it’s kinda nice Sony has him, as he can integrate into the MCU while also transcending it. Putting Peter so much at the center of the emerging mutant landscape was an excellent choice

u/FaithlessnessThen207 Aug 03 '26

Originally I was excited for the multiverse story.

But then it seemed difficult for them to pull off narratively in a movie format.

I'm glad they stopped trying to push that so hard. Doomsday is likely multiversal but I theorise its going to solidify all the timestreams into one again.

u/flibber_deez_gibbets Aug 03 '26

yeah just blow after blow. Majors was great as Kang, but, well. And then all the other problems. I still like a great deal of post-Endgame, but public moods are fickle

u/Normal-Hornet8548 Ghost Rider Aug 09 '26

Yep, it wasn’t an Avengers movie wrapped in a Spider-Man poster or anything of the sort.

It was ground-level Spidey.

3

u/Waywoah Aug 08 '26

We better get an end credits or something showing Peter as a teacher at Xavier's school

3

u/invaderark12 Aug 03 '26

AND SOMEHOW, its still a pretty grounded movie compared to the rest and stays street level.

u/CeruleanEidolon Aug 12 '26

It does seem awfully close to the resolution of Thunderbolts*, though.

Incredibly powerful character with mine powers gets an emotional breakthrough within a mental projection. But I guess that's how you take down a telepath.

u/Legitimate_Speech213 Aug 01 '26

why are these comments not being spoiler tagged

17

u/OhThat90sGuy Aug 01 '26

It says in the opening post "Spoilers do not need to be tagged inside this thread"

u/Shorlong Aug 06 '26

I'm the post release discussion thread?!? Why would you be in here if you haven't seen it?

23

u/FantasticQuartet Jul 31 '26

Imagine telling all of this to someone who went to see Ironman in 2008.

14

u/CruzAderjc Aug 02 '26

When Nick Fury says “i’m here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative”, imagine if there was a quick flashforward to Punisher sniping Jean Grey and Spider-Man taking the bullet. And then Kevin Feige is like, yeah, stick around, we’ll get to that eventually.

u/Federal_Bicycle_7800 Aug 01 '26

i mean infinity war and endgame were crazy enough

14

u/Positron14 Jul 31 '26

Also: he had just fought the Hand!

35

u/CruzAderjc Jul 31 '26

And got into a hot tub with a naked Black Widow. But not that Black Widow. She died. This is a younger, hotter (controversial), blonde one

5

u/RLZT Aug 01 '26

There is no controversy here my friend

u/Irresponsibly_mild Aug 02 '26

I know what they mean, but yeah

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 01 '26

“I must have won the lottery & funded this movie myself, there’s no way Hollywood would make this.”

4

u/CruzAderjc Aug 02 '26

“No, these movies make a bagillion dollars. Hollywood indeed makes this, but also a bunch of other shitty copy cats in an attempt to replicate this. The good news is that the MCU is going to be the best thing ever. The bad news is that no other cinematic universe will come close”

3

u/TexasPeteEnthusiast Aug 01 '26

Not to mention the Hand and scorpion thrown in there for good measure.

3

u/CruzAderjc Aug 02 '26

Not to mention that Thor has to assemble all those teams against Robert Downey Jr, but not Tony Stark, because he died sacrificing himself against Thanos

3

u/ThirdCultureKid96 Aug 03 '26

This just reminded me of Patton Oswalt's improvised filibuster on Parks and Rec and we're basically there lol

2

u/tempestus9 Aug 02 '26

I swear though, it felt like something straight out of a crossover fanfiction

2

u/Monarki Aug 04 '26

Would the reason for no Spidey in Doomsday be because he's injured? And no Hulk because Banner doesn't want to Hulk?

1

u/someotherguyinNH Aug 01 '26

No doubt... It's kind of hilarious when you think about it....in a good way.

1

u/swagonflyyyy Aug 04 '26

Frank to Jean: Let me tell you somethin' red.

1

u/NeverGonnaGi5eYouUp Aug 04 '26

the end credits scene kinda suggests Spiderman is going to show up next in secret wars, which... makes sense.

I wonder if they'll use that movie as the introduction of the venom suit?

1

u/FunGeologist218 Aug 05 '26

Why won’t Spiderman be around when Thor assembles the avengers?

1

u/Samaritan_Pr1me Sep 07 '26

And this would be after watching Avengers and realizing that the door’s wide open now.
