Just a few nitpicks (spoilers)


Yes, I really enjoyed the movie. It was top-tier fan-service and a great cinematic experience with a reactive audience.

Just a couple of things:

- I wish Tobey's Peter saw Jonah Jameson and made some kind of remark, like "huh, looks like Jameson is the same no matter which universe. That's a scary thought.”
- I wish Toby interacted with Andrew's Lizard. Tobey had his own Dr Connors, so seeing a Dr Connors monster could've surprised him or something.
- Have some kind of epilogue on how Tobey and Andrew's Peter Parkers are holding up after their respective movies. And now that the villains have been "fixed", how does that affect their continuities?
- Tom Hardy's Venom was a wasted opportunity. Yeah, he left a piece of the symbiote to set up a new symbiote storyline, but I was hoping Venom could see Tom Holland's Spider-Man. I thought licking the TV in Venom 2 meant something more, like Venom recognized him or something.
- Not really a nitpick, but I guess I was expecting Tom Holland Peter's apartment at the end to be the same complex that Jessica Jones was living in. That could've been neat.
- I wish Matt Murdock had more scenes. I understand that they couldn't squeeze in a Daredevil sequence, but have Matt do more as Peter's lawyer instead of just the one glorified cameo.

EDIT:
- I wish Andrew’s villains talked with Tobey’s Norman Osborn since in their world he’s their boss.
- Have Tobey and Andrew talk about bd compare their Harry Osborns, and how both turned into the second Green Goblin, then maybe make a more direct reference to Ned Leeds as the Hobgoblin from the comics (though I guess him saying he won’t be a super villain like Harry sorta counts).

There might be more, and I'll add them here if I think of them, but that's it off the top of my head. I'd have made a comment on how they should've gone full Sinister Six, but that's more about Sony wanting to save them for their own movie and thinking they can still have a cinematic universe without Spider-Man.

A reaction from Tobey' Peter seeing Jonah Jameson would have been cool.

I don't think an epilogue with Tobey and Andrew would have worked though, the focus needed to be solely on Tom Holland's Peter and how alone he was after the spell was complete. It would have been off at that point to cut to Tobey and then Andrew in their universes as they already said what their lives are like.

I think the three Spider-Men hugging being the last time we see them all together worked really well and also meant the movie wasn't going to be derivative of the Spider-Verse animated film.

I suppose, but considering how both of their continuities ended bittersweet, it would've been nice to see for ourselves that they were doing ok. Tom Holland ended this movie in a bad spot too, but at least he's got three more movies to fix that.
