While, at first, the three Peters struggle to work together to take out the antagonists, they eventually figure it out, swinging around the Statue of Liberty with their high school science lab-made cures in hand to reverse the respective conditions that made each villain villainous. That being said, Peter does effectively “cure” all of the villains Doctor Strange’s botched spell has dragged into the MCU’s reality: the Green Goblin from 2002’s Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus from 2004’s Spider-Man 2, Sandman from 2007’s Spider-Man 3, the Lizard from 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and Electro from 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I know that many a superhero villain has been created by falling into a vat of proverbial eels, but the idea that evil-doing is a switch that can be turned on and off is thematically shallow and makes for one of the weakest parts of this story. Honestly, the dumbest part of Spider-Man: No Way Home is the concept that villainy can be cured with a gadget or chemical compound. The movie crams a lot into its two-and-a-half-hour runtime, giving rewarding endings to not one but three Peter Parkers. How does it do it? And what does No Way Home’s ending mean for the future of Spider-Man and the MCU? We break it all down below… The Peters Cure the Spider-Man Villains Spid er-Man: No Way Home, the latest installment in the Marvel pantheon, has hit theaters, complete with an ending that is sure to reverberate across the MCU-if not because Doctor Strange has left cracks in the multiverse than in the space it will leave in the Avengers where Peter Parker once stood.
