deird1: chibis of Kitty and Lydia from P&P, with text "fangirls at large" (Kitty Lydia fangirls)

Because I'm in America, I have access to some films I can't watch elsewhere. In particular: Spider-Man – No Way Home.

It is spectacular. And makes me much happier about Tom Holland's movies.

I like Tom Holland. I don't like the other two movies that much, because they're missing what makes Peter Parker who he is, and they're doing Aunt May wrong. BUT this last movie has fixed all that! It makes it clear that (a) this is one Spider-Man within a whole multiverse of others; and (b) this is Spider-Man before half of his origin story has happened.


The moment May said "With great power comes great responsibility" I thought "Oh, shit, she's going to die" – and then she DID, and it was AWESOME, because suddenly this Peter had an origin story with May rather than Ben, and the other two Peters were relating to him using their own Uncle Ben stories, and it was simply terrific.

It turned Tobey's Peter into a wise mentor, gave Andrew's Peter closure, and turned Tom's Peter into the Spider-Man I'd been wanting all along.

Now I just need to go home and buy the DVD, so I can watch it again.
