Crazy how quickly this movie is making money. This movie should in theory have less draw than No Way Home and people are eating it up. Shows what a good story can do. There is for not at least no Spider-Man fatigue.
I hope the lesson here is not “just make more Spider-Man” movies.
What stark tech does he really have? I don’t think anything was handed to him. It looks like he put it together himself. I may have missed some logos if that’s the case. His shooters are bulky All his nano stuff is gone and his suit is not cgi.

As for why I found it refreshing. It’s because it wasn’t a Spider-Man villain, as he’s gone through most of his popular ones. This was not a story that could be told under Toby or Andrew. Connecting Spider-Man’s mutations with the upcoming Mutant stories is not something I expected, nor him being responsible for part of the tragedies that are going to befall them in the future. I don’t know much about Jean Grey’s childhood, but this age hasn’t really been focus on, we got a little bit of it during the more recent X-Men movies. I liked the parallels of them losing someone and having mutant like powers.
I personally enjoy seeing the Marvel characters, because it makes New York feel like a lived in city, again something that could not be done during the previous eras. It gives him people to act with in a scene. I think he paired very well with Punisher and I don’t think he overshadowed him. I would love to see him with some of the Defenders. Jean wasn’t revealed until the end of the movie, so I’m not really sure how she could have overshadowed him.
And while I agree about the Hulk, I’m not sure what they can really do until they get the full rights back. He’s going to keep be a smashy smashy side character.
