10 Genuine Concerns About Spider-Man: No Way Home
10. It Might Be Trying Too Hard To Be Avengers: Endgame 2.0
There's no denying that No Way Home is the biggest movie event since the release of Avengers: Endgame back in April 2019.
There's no greater proof of this than the fact that the rush for No Way Home tickets crashed websites around the world, a phenomenon we haven't seen since Endgame was successfully positioned as the must-see movie event of its era.
And while there's absolutely no question that the new Spider-Man film will be a mammoth commercial success regardless of its actual quality, it may ultimately be trying a little too hard to station itself as the next generation-defining global event we all remember years from now.
Endgame's cultural impact was in large part due to the fact that it was the payoff to more than a decade's worth of movies, and while No Way Home will surely exploit our nostalgia for the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, it may struggle to muster the same feeling of storytelling importance that Endgame had.
Inevitably if its big marquee moments fall short of Captain America (Chris Evans) grabbing Mjolnir, there are going to be many feeling that No Way Home didn't quite measure up, whether that's a reasonable stance or not. It is one encouraged by the marketing, though.
