Question lingers, what DID happen in Staten Island?

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 01 '26

Would be cool to see that as an extra for home release.

Honestly, kinda love it as the new Budapest. Let your imagination run wild with the few details that are in the movies.

u/DrMoney Aug 03 '26

You and I remember Budapest very differently.

u/heroinsteve Spider-Man Aug 05 '26

It was definitely a callback to Budapest and I love it for that. Having small details that are referenced, but never shown makes the universe feel a bit more organic imo. Not like huge plot lines that make you think you miss something, but small events like this. Also since both parties are simultaneously downplaying and exaggerating it, it makes it more entertaining and just like Budapest.

I was hoping it was an after credits thing, not gonna lie.

u/Shadowfire_EW Aug 05 '26

I think it works better as a "Noodle Incident". Some unspeakable thing that is never explained

6

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 05 '26

I can see that, like the incident in Budapest.

Staten Island, now a Broadway Musical

u/Staind1410 Aug 01 '26

OK so Spidey and Punisher never met on screen before this movie right? Staten Island is just a thing that happened but we didn’t see. I thought I missed something because I never watched any of the Disney+ series.

u/CommanderHavond Aug 01 '26

I hope in the future they aren't afraid to establish off screen events between characters

u/TannenFalconwing Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26

And then let it STAY offscreen. The MCU seemed to really want to keep coming back to Budapest and it made it feel less like these two had a storied history and rather just had one important interaction.

u/PoniesCanterOver Aug 04 '26

I mean they hid in a vent for three days, something like that will bond people

23

u/demafrost Aug 01 '26

Yeah, they've never interacted on screen before but in Netflix/D+ shows he's well established as a street level anti-hero and has interacted with several other street level heroes. Given the 4 year gap that takes place in the movie and Peter's focus on being spider-man and helping with crimes, it makes sense that they have crossed paths enough times to have an established relationship.

u/doomcyber Aug 01 '26

Yep. Spider-Man was never shown and only mentioned once in any of the Disney+ shows, and when he was mentioned Kingpin said something to the likes of "kid dressed like a spider" when he was talking about Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Punisher in his anti-viligante speech in Daredevil Born Again season 2. I am not sure if Spider-Man and Punisher can meet outside the Marvel films.

You and I remember Budapest Staten Island very differently.

u/Matt_the_Bruins_fan Aug 10 '26

Them arguing about it with the tone of bickering Yankees and Mets fans was vastly more enjoyable than Clint and Natasha's references to their common experience.

u/Used_Cow1405 Aug 01 '26

Like Budapest, we will learn all about it in Frank’s solo prequel movie three years after he’s dead.

u/Tyrannosapien Ghost Rider Aug 01 '26

My thought too, hopefully they learn and just leave it as a mystery we can fill in ourselves

u/donbagert Aug 01 '26

Nice analogy!

What happens on Staten Island stays on Staten Island

u/Spid3yperson Aug 02 '26

I know they were talking about it at one point at the same time to super-confused MJ, but they lost me after a bit

5

u/Starless_Night Aug 02 '26

Something about Peter kicking a gun out of a drug dealer's hand before he could shoot Frank. I saw the movie with captions so it was a little easier to follow their argument in Frank's hideout.

u/Secret_Block_8755 Aug 01 '26

Would make a great one-off special now that I think of it.

1

u/Spid3yperson Aug 02 '26

Would be a fun Marvel One-Shot

u/masterjedi747 Aug 03 '26

Is there even a good story reason why we couldn’t have just gotten that instead of One Last Kill?

u/DarkAllDay99 Aug 01 '26

It's the new mission to Budapest

u/rethinkOURreality Aug 02 '26

It's the new Budapest.

u/ujanmas Aug 04 '26

I was just going to ask what show does that refer to!

u/SoulCrusher2018 Aug 05 '26

Let's keep it a mystery, not everything needs to be explained to death.

1

u/Timelymanner Aug 09 '26

Spidey mentioned it at the pier. He kicked a drug dealer before the dealer shot Frank.

u/Samaritan_Pr1me Sep 07 '26

The Staten Island stuff gave off pure “that business on Cato Nemoidia doesn’t count” and I loved it.

u/nounotme Aug 02 '26

And why was Thor crying?
