I once heard someone say that the song "Last Christmas" was really about Person A shooting their shot and Person B just didn't feel the same way, and Person A is now giving Person B a hard time for it and while that takes the drama and heartbreak away from the song it is a way of looking at it I guess.

I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful

Another question regarding Spider-Man NWH

Me externally: 😊

Me internally: ok but did the filmmakers really just double down on how the green goblin can bypass any laws of physics when it comes to leverage and gravitational pull like does he have magnets on the soles of his shoes or something like in the first raimi film he's able to plant his feet more than a shoulder's width apart and hold up a whole cable car of children--against a pole, but still--even if he's freakishly strong he should have been pulled over the edge because of leverage or something--now in nwh he punches peter through a window and peter webs the goblin to pull him down with him but the goblin just plants his feet while peter is perpendicular to the building's wall and not only pulls peter back up but swings him through another window like dude the force of your punch should have pitched both you and peter out of the building if you two were attached via that web even captain america had to pull against that helicopter but you just stand there like it's nothing wth were your performance enhancers made of you stupid elf also while i'm here can you just leave norman alone please

@olbas006 Honestly? Cured Norman is exactly "Tony Stark only less cool." There's no way he's as smart or as capable as Tony, but if we're lining the timelines up, he studied nanotech before Tony even became Iron Man. Now, Tobey's universe doesn't have Wakanda or Stark Industries, but hard work goes a long way. Imagine Tobey in a rudimentary Iron Spider suit...man that'd be such a neat spectacle.

And I would love to see Doc Ock engage in some hero work, should he survive his branched timeline. Despite not having any powers, the man has some impressive reflexes--he reacted the fastest when the Goblin came for the box, saving Strange and protecting Max from the shield falling. Not to mention the fact that he actually thought to stop the glider instead of just playing defense. That's something I forgot--should he survive his branched timeline, Otto would definitely repair the arm that the Goblin destroyed.

SPOILERS AHEAD -- What happened to the villains in NWH?

In case you didn't see the title, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

I haven't seen a lot of content for this question, and tbh, the multiverse is in full swing with its branched timelines, so this means that every villain/Peter that went back to their specific timelines caused a branched timeline. Here's what I think happened in each of them.

Also, a quick note before I start, I've seen many people question exactly when everyone was pulled and when they returned. Some people believe it was literally a five-second window in the other movies, others believe that they were gone from their universes for the full 12 hours. I will try--with my albeit limited knowledge--to figure this out.

I can't really say what happened to Peter 2 and Peter 3, but I think that later movies will address that. For now, let's go with least to most complicated.

Sandman

Flint will go straight to his daughter, regardless of how much time has passed. Judging by how he rushes to Peter's aid in NWH, I assume he was pulled after Peter 2 forgave him. I hope he finds a good, not-at-all-potentially-villainous doctor to help his daughter and lives a quiet life outside of New York.

Lizard

Dr. Connors gets arrested either way, I think. The only change I can think of--especially depending on when Connors was pulled--Captain Stacy might live in this branched timeline. Would that save Gwen's life along the way? I'm not sure.

Electro

Max is easier because we at least know where he was pulled from--the moment of his death. If he's put back during that moment, then he's definitely a dead man. But if he was put back 12 hours later, it would be easy for him to quietly blend back into the crowd, but with the confidence he needs to get noticed.

Unfortunately, Max had nothing to do with Harry's reckless actions after he was injected, so Gwen would still end up dead. But, I think that Max would end up becoming an advocate for Spider-Man after Peter 3 disappears to grieve. And after Spider-Man returns, I bet Max would take Oscorp to court, and with Spider-Man as a witness, would at least get money for the damages. Sure, Oscorp might be in shambles by the end of the movie, but there's still someone running it behind the scenes, right?

Doctor Octavius

Now, this one is probably the most complicated, because if he was put back at the exact moment that he had Peter by the throat, a lot could have been avoided. Otto came back with the arc reactor, so he might be able to utilize it to neutralize his machine without any casualties. He'll probably accept jail time and comply with the police's demands. I don't know how prison works for a supervillain, but if he's released at all, I think he'll use the arc reactor to fuel more of his experiments, for a better cause, of course. He'd probably help Peter and Harry out in the final battle against Venom and Sandman--which would be pretty cool, ngl. I think Venom would be defeated a lot faster thanks to Otto's versatility, but I'm not sure how.

If Otto is sent back 12 hours later, then this is the worst-case scenario for everyone. Either Peter replaced Otto and drowned with the machine, or Peter was able to get Mary-Jane to a safe enough place before the machine gets well and truly out of hand. In which case, the city might collapse, or the whole world might.

I assume Peter would have figured out a way for none of this to happen, but Otto would probably be put right back where he was...which would either be underwater or in the middle of a burning sun. Unless he can use those arms to swim somehow, the future's pretty grim either way.

Norman Osborne

Ironic how Otto's branched timeline was probably the most brutal...I think Norman's branched timeline would be the best thing that ever happened to Tobey's Spider-Man. And there's a LOT here, so let's unpack.

Norman's death in the first Spider-Man movie caused a chain reaction that resulted in Harry's bloodlust, his amnesia, his revenge, and his eventual death. By extension, that nearly destroyed Peter and Mary-Jane's relationship as well--the only confirmation that it worked was Tobey's dialogue in NWH.

Also: it's heavily implied that the Goblin is just a super distilled amalgamation of Norman's worst traits--one of them being his neglect towards his family. We never got to see the version of Norman that truly loves his son because the Goblin was in control for most of SM1.

So. Here we go: If Norman is put back during the final fight with Peter (it's implied that that's where he comes from in the first place), then it would be easier for Norman to convince Peter that the Goblin is gone, especially since Norman and the Goblin don't share memories. Norman also was put back without the glider, so imagine being in Peter's shoes, seeing Norman disappear for a few seconds and then appear in a modded suit, bemused, and probably confused as to how Peter suddenly seems fine "after being stabbed" (unless Norman remembers literally nothing because of the second spell's effects, then nix that last part). And I think, if Peter believed him, it would be easy for Peter to get Norman home without anyone noticing.

Now, aside from Peter, no one else knows about his alter ego. So as long as Peter keeps his secret, Norman basically gets a new chance at life. Without that familial neglect, he has the chance to actually be a father to Harry, maybe even ceding Oscorp to Harry out of both love and guilt (after all, the board of directors were vaporized). I wouldn't be surprised if he developed some form of PTSD and doubts his own actions for a while after despite being cured.

The second movie would not happen. Or rather, Otto's research would not be funded by Harry even if Harry did have control at this point. If Norman remembered the events of NWH, he would shut that mess down before it even started. And even if he didn't, Harry would have no reason to hate Spider-Man, so Otto still wouldn't get the tritium unless he took it by force.

However, the main event of the second movie could instead be Harry discovering Norman's secret vault behind the mirror. Harry might have a mental break, run away, Peter would reveal his identity to Harry to convince him to come back, and Norman would finally have to own up to his mistakes. But that's a headcanon--I have no idea what would happen here realistically.

However, I do think that Norman would play a pivotal role in the events of the third movie--specifically when it comes to Venom's influence over Peter. You can probably see where this is going. Along with Harry and Mary-Jane, Norman would witness the symbiote's effects on Peter's personality, maybe even how brutal Spider-Man becomes, and would look into it because it seems way too familiar. Norman and Harry would investigate the symbiote with Oscorp's resources, separate it from Peter, and kill it before it did any harm to anyone else--which means Eddie wouldn't die and neither would Harry. And Peter would forgive Sandman faster, so there would be no need for a final fight at all.

After that, my best guess is that Oscorp might become what Stark Industries was to Peter 1. Peter 2 could have his escapades funded by Oscorp, and Harry might still go vigilante as a sort of heroic take on the Goblin, helping Peter 2 here and there with crime-fighting. Overall, not a bad ending.

So what do you think? I haven't seen the Raimi/Webb movies in a while, so heaven knows I've missed something.

I don't know how prison works for a supervillain, but if he's released at all, I think he'll use the arc reactor to fuel more of his experiments, for a better cause, of course. Heck, he'd probably be able to successfully run the city on renewable energy just like he wanted to--maybe even in the same way. But instead of the tritium, he'd use the arc reactor, and it would work.

He'd fix the arm that the Goblin broke, maybe upgrade all of his arms with new and better tech over time.

He'd probably help Peter and Harry out in the final battle against Venom and Sandman--which would be pretty cool, ngl. I think Venom would be defeated a lot faster thanks to Otto's versatility, and with someone else to watch out for Spider-Man and MJ, Harry might live through it.

Otto would definitely become a mentor figure for Peter after that, maybe even offer him an apprenticeship/internship, and Peter would study under him until he sets out on his own. Aunt May would get an apology too.

If Otto is sent back 12 hours later, then this is the worst-case scenario for everyone. Either Peter replaced Otto and drowned with the machine, or Peter was able to get Mary-Jane to a safe enough place before the machine gets well and truly out of hand.

I need to share this headcanon with someone...SPOILERS FOR NO WAY HOME AHEAD.

After the events of Spider-Man No Way Home, one of Peter's most prized possessions becomes this old college spiral notebook, filled with pages upon pages of letters to people he knows. Every single time he wants to talk to them, he writes them a letter.

MJ and Aunt May have the most letters written to them, from the most stupid things that happened to him in college to brutal existential crises.

There is one letter to MJ that is just "I love you" over and over and over again for three pages back to back, ending with tear-stained pages and angry scribbles.

Ned's letters follow close behind, filled with clippings and pop culture references and even the occasional "how's the magic training going" or "saw you on the corner store, how you been? It's been forever..." One even states "If you did turn into a supervillain, we'd have some of the coolest fights ever."

He writes to Tony, Pepper, Happy and Morgan respectively. He reflects on his decisions and how far he's come. One letter to Morgan is advice for being a superhero/things that Tony did to push him forward. A letter to Happy discusses their respective grief for Aunt May.

He writes to Uncle Ben and his parents. He knows they still watch over him.

He writes to Peter 2 and Peter 3. He asks them how things are in their universes. He asks if they remember him. He asks how they got over their respective grief. Peter 3 gets multiple letters about fighting personal anger, one long one thanking him for saving MJ. Peter 2 gets a bunch of little-brother questions about being a hero, one about his organic webs, and one short one asking why he stopped him.

Doctors Octavius and Connors get more than a few letters on physics, genetics, nanotechnology, and of course homework. He asks Octavius how advanced his universe is in terms of technology, and if his Iron Spider suit really was built from the same stuff as Otto's smart arms. He asks how they sounded. He scratches that part out. He eventually finds the answers he needs on the internet.

Max gets three letters: one about electrical engineering homework, one about LEGOS, and one asking how he dealt with being invisible.

Flint gets two letters: one asks about his super-collider incident, and one hopes he finds his daughter and that they're happy together.

Norman gets one letter. It goes from hurling abuse to probing psychological questions. With a different pen comes the eventual, relenting acknowledgment of "that murderer's" influence. Peter accepts his job offer. Apologizes. And thanks him for his help with the others.

Peter writes that he'll check back on him sometime. He never does.

MAJOR NO WAY HOME SPOILERS

Favorite Tiny bits of Spider-Man No way Home

Peter’s “very good lawyer.”

Peter’s absolute childlike glee when he controls Doc Ock’s arms

The president of MIT scolding Doc Ock before running to safety

Flint immediately rushing to Peter’s aid against Electro

I like Electro better with yellow lightning, ngl.

Just the fact that Electro and Ned exchanged words like they weren’t on opposite sides. That’s something you never see in movies like this. “Just a tree, man. Just a tree.”

“There’s no way she’s his girlfriend; there’s no way!”

Norman smashing the Goblin helmet.

May comforting Norman! (and Norman just being a sad wholesome old man)

Norman just pocketing food in the background of the shot XD

Electro’s “oh sh*t. I was gonna die.”

“You know, I’m something of a scientist myself.”

"We hear you, Michelle."

The backward chanting of the mirror dimension.

Peter beating Dr. Strange in his own turf with math.

Electro having a mini stare-down with the apartment camera.

The villains of the Spider-Man multiverse doing normal things in an apartment and royally messing everything up.

“Fresh water or salt? Because you’re an octopus.” (confused mad scientist noises)

If it isn’t quickly becoming obvious, I liked seeing the villains as just people. Especially Otto, Norman and Max. I would love a whole mini movie of just them in the apartment chilling.

The sparks in Max’s eyes whenever he’s interested in something.

“I could go for a burrito!” MCU, you didn’t let Bucky have his plums, but please give Norman a burrito.

Otto getting his mind back. I breathed a sigh of relief when this happened.

Norman losing his mind. Hearing the Goblin resurface for a moment just gave me chills.

Goblin taking an even harder right into unhinged psychological torture and physical prowess—this time with a full range of expression

The fact that 66-year-old Willem DaFoe did most of the stunt work for it

Also the fact that Norman's sweatshirt and blazer were ripped away to reveal the Goblin suit as Goblin exercises control over both Norman and Peter--great touch, there.

Also, question: May injected him once. Why didn’t it do anything?

May using the original line straight from the comics

No Good Deed. Just. That score. By Michael Giacchino.

In fact, all of the villains have their original scores. Props.

They replicated the Lizard fight scene and the Gwen Stacy fall cinematically.

MJ throwing bread at Andrew (giving me flashbacks to Spiderverse— “you’ll get the bread you deserve.”)

Andrew’s horrified interest in Tobey’s organic webs

“You’re amazing. You are amazing.”

Andrew redeeming himself by saving MJ (and crying)

Tom picking up the glider to impale Norman (both a nod to Norman's original death and what seemed to me like John Walker rage, especially since they were fighting on top of the shield)

Tobey redeeming himself by saving Norman

The three Peters working together to kill Goblin and save Norman

Norman’s small “Peter? What have I done?”

MJ STILL WEARS THE BLACK DAHLIA NECKLACE PETER HOPE IS NOT LOST

No Way Home Spoilers Ahead - Very Minor

So now we're two for two on tired people with dark alter egos who just want food.

Let Bucky have his plums.

Let Norman have his burrito.
