No Way Home thread

OK, there was a lot more than just a few Easter eggs.

The film is that it started slow. Unfortunately, I suspect that everyone in the theater, even those seeing the film for the first time, already knew that the film would include villains and Spider-Men from previous Sony films. We were just sitting through too much of Peter Parker being angsty waiting for everyone else to show up. That being said, the film was quite good one these other characters showed up. I understand that this was primarily a fanservice film, but the fanservice worked.

I am glad that Charlie Cox actually returned as Daredevil. This is not because I have affection for the character. I have not seen any of the Netflix series. I am glad because this gives me hope that we will see Katy's Aunt Melinda in a future Shang-Chi film.

This led me to speculate on Keven Feige's psyche. Marvel Television shows, particularly Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., acknowledged MCU films, but the films generally did not acknowledge the television shows, which were not under Feige's control. When Jeph Loeb left/was ousted, Feige seemed eager to expel Marvel Television shows from the MCU. I guess that Feige now feels more comfortable in his role and is no longer threatened by shows that he did not control directly.

It was so inspiring to see all of the other Avengers coming out and publicly supporting Peter Parker when much of the world turned on him. Of course, this was to be expected as there is necessarily a bond that will be created between people who put their lives on the line to save half the population of the universe. In fact, I would expect nothing less. Wait a minute. While an Avenger was being viciously slandered on a regular basis, not one of his teammates spoke out publicly in his defense?

I do not understand why Peter, Ned, and MJ were in suspense as they opened their letters from MIT. I thought that everyone knew that thin envelopes mean rejection because a rejection contains just a letter whereas an acceptance contains packets on things like housing, orientation, and registration. Meanwhile, I do not understand why Doctor Strange thought that Parker could reverse the rejection simply by talking to someone at MIT.
