Even though the spider-verse thing does bring some kind of a positive mix of spice, surprise and nostalgia to it, the only redeeming features of the experience were the wonderful end title sequence designed by Karin Fong, the excitement of my two little associates before the film started (or, say, before it admittedly faded about an hour in), and Jon Favreau.
Generally speaking, the real limitation of superhero movies is live-action. However well written the script—which isn’t necessarily the case of the flamboyant No Way Home—anyone in a tight garish onesie would look like a loser or a cosplay at best, whatever the difference. Superheroes live, and are such, only in comics and animation. Convincing exceptions are very few and none of this Marvel generation is on track to be one.
