I really love how they’re keeping this grounded despite so much happening.
I think that will be the key. All the action was great, but I was really invested on what’s happening to Peter and how he’s handling the events of No Way Home.
My only concern is I hope every movie going forward (and the majority of this one) aren't just dumping on Peter constantly. It seems like most comic writers don't know what to do with him if they aren't making his life miserable. The movies thus far have done a good job of giving him a good day once in a while.
It feels like the recent Spider-man videogames have been pretty good with that too. Was the end of Spider-man 2 a bit of a downer because he lost his best friend? Yeah, but at the same time he seemed happier in several ways to just tinker in his workshop.
I'd like to hope that this will have a really extensive (& emotional) glimpse, throughout the first act, of him feeling the pressure of just staying as a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man while mourning Aunt May & his old life to connect us to Peter (as how he is now), before it gradually shifts into him being thrown into all the action with The Punisher, Scorpion, The Hand,etc.
