4 Years Ago, this week…

We, as an audience, witnessed the return of Kingpin, Matt Murdock, all the previous legacy Spider-Man villains, and Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man…all in the span of 2 days during December 15 - 16, 2021 (depending on when you saw Hawkeye or NWH). Pretty unique and crazy timeframe to think about.

I hear Matt Murdock is a very good lawyer

n_mcrae_19822025-12-17 21:08

Just after the “Marvel Celebrates the Movies” trailer.

We bring back the legends

Any announcements yet for the D+ No Way Home release?

Apprehensive_You78712025-12-17 22:58

Sony Pictures owns the movie rights so not anytime.

DrManhattan_DDM2025-12-17 23:04

Sony has the same ownership of Homecoming and Far From Home which are already on D+, along with the other Spidey movies and Venom, so it’s likely just a matter of ‘when’, not ‘if’.

Apprehensive_You78712025-12-18 01:02

In the UK we don't have any of those.

Sage246012025-12-18 04:32

They're not available in Canada

IronBundle152025-12-17 21:19

I still remember half the casuals in the theatre didn’t know who Murdock was

CaptHayfever2025-12-18 06:08

I still remember quiet gasps in my theater when he appeared.

Vegetable-Dog52812025-12-17 21:27

The last time I was at a movie theater

BarracudaLogical75882025-12-18 05:06

he is talking about No Way Home not Hawkeye. Swipe on the photo 😑

Joshawott272025-12-18 08:02

Ah yeah, somehow I missed the second image.

Kingpin’s just so big, y’know?

El_Presidente3762025-12-17 21:31

Brother i would give anything to hear audience reaction to Tobey and Andrew return for the first time

Kindly_Ratio98572025-12-18 02:29

I still look up audience reaction videos on YouTube sometimes. It makes it feel like you’re back in the theater on day one

El_Presidente3762025-12-18 02:37

Same

mrsirsouth2025-12-18 10:30

Edit. Found all the noisy, 1 way only, tv talkers

I'm in the small crowd of people that absolutely hate and detest any crowd interaction to the movie other than reactions that make sense. I wait a few days to watch all movies opening weekend and always go during the daytime hours to avoid the people that want to applaud to absolutely no one. No creators, directors, actors, writers, or any others That contributed are there. Who are you clapping to?

Laugh, Jump scare, Or any other natural reaction or something that evokes a natural response.

I cringe so incredibly hard when people clap or scream at the screen, post film. It just seems so disingenuous and forced.

xMILKSHAKEx2025-12-19 14:52

it was such a fun theatre experience

Used-Turnover29542025-12-17 21:33

It was 4 years ago?

janosaudron2025-12-17 23:51

If 4 years make you feel like that wait until you remember shit that happened 40 years ago like it was yesterday.

not_a_moogle2025-12-18 23:37

I didn't get to see it theater because I had covid. Theaters were semi-open at the point. the ones by me would let you rent out a screen for you and 15 people or something like that for super cheap.

40inmn42025-12-17 21:40

At least you can say that spiderman 1-2-3 and amazing spiderman 1-2 (as well as venom 1-2-3 and morbius) are all MCU canon

InevitableWeight3142025-12-18 06:38

Everything is mcu canon with that mindset

nyse252025-12-20 09:39

Every single piece of marvel media exists in the marvel multiverse. That's like saying Insomniac Spider-Man is canon to the MCU when they reside in their respective universes.

MeadowmuffinReborn2025-12-17 21:52

Hawkeye felt like a really fun side quest to NWH. I can imagine Kate shooting down the Rockefeller tree five minutes after Peter swings by it.

CaptainRex51012025-12-17 22:47

Why does time go by so fast

WheedMBoise2025-12-17 23:42

I'll never forget the weekend No Way Home came out. I was going on a trip to a cabin with some friends and had to wait til Monday to see it, but one of the people on the trip saw it, so not only did I have to dodge spoilers online, I had to dodge them in person lol. Somehow remained spoiler-free until I saw it.

DJTLaC2025-12-18 00:44

The COVID i got after seeing this in theaters was so worth it.

InevitableWeight3142025-12-18 01:05

Complain all you want that No Way Home depended on nostalgia, that second half of the movie was insane. Perfectly balanced humour, nostalgia, awesome action, heart, and a fantastic piece of character development for Tom’s Spidey.

Overall_Affect_27822025-12-18 02:23

Yep, the haters are in the minority on that. The general audience went as nuts as the fans did and it was talked about at workplaces, schools, for weeks after the release. That was a pop culture moment that rivaled Endgame for sure.

Kindly_Ratio98572025-12-18 02:32

Doomsday and secret wars are going to be crazy.

Kindly_Ratio98572025-12-18 02:32

The “key jangling nostalgia bait” parrots don’t understand that it can’t be that shallow if it was received THIS well. If it really was that fundamentally shallow, obviously everyone would see right through it, but fans could feel it had genuine heart behind it.

As long as marvel knows that’s the reason WHY the multiverse “nostalgia” stuff worked, then doomsday and secret wars will be amazing too

InevitableWeight3142025-12-18 05:41

Exactly. It didnt just bring back the old characters for the sake of getting butts in seats, it told a story that could only be told with more mature versions of Peter who had already gone through the troubles only Spider-Man goes through.

relativlysmart2025-12-19 01:06

That's kind of beautiful

thesanmich2025-12-19 23:24

The negative discourse surrounding No Way Home the last few years has been awful. The movie was peak, and it's still peak. The villains and heroes are brought back to serve TOM's Spider-Man arc.

stonespiral2025-12-18 06:29

if they were used as cameo moments I would agree with those complaints but they utilized that aspect to serve a narrative that I thought was told really well, had a lot of heart, and gave those old portrayals something to DO rather than be gawked at. It capitalized on nostalgia to tell a compelling story and that seems fine to me if the end result is in fact a compelling story.

Additional_Sundae2242025-12-18 04:06

Still not seen that movie 😂

stonespiral2025-12-18 06:30

it's fun, you should give it a go when you get a chance.

MarvelMind2025-12-18 04:37

Fun movie but far too rushed of a production with very little polish in the finished product.

Chrispy_Kelloggs2025-12-18 10:52

I'm so glad I became a Daredevil fan at the perfect time. Finished the series and became obsessed with it early in 2021 and spent just enough time waiting for a 4th season to experience it unfolding slowly over 4 years with NWH, She Hulk, Echo and finally Born Again.

noobieninjaCB2025-12-18 17:34

WTF.. 4 years already?

the_dogman___2025-12-20 07:29

That was a fun year for Marvel fans!
