Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally making the rounds in fans' homes following its digital release, bringing the movie back to prominence after its record-breaking theatrical run. This finally offers the chance to revisit dozens of moments worthy of recognition among the MCU's best, from Aunt May's tragic death to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's returns as their respective web-slingers. Although No Way Home had some of the most exciting scenes in any Spider-Man movie ever, it came with absolute heartbreak as well, thanks to May's death at the hands of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin.

Spider-Man: No Way Home served as the culmination of Peter Parker's origin story in the MCU, which is a unique approach since it happened throughout three movies.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures found themselves with the smash-hit movie of 2021 in Spider-Man: No Way Home , the MCU's last entry of the year. Featuring everything from heartbreaking deaths (RIP Aunt May) to internet-breaking character introductions (see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire), the threequel had everything a Marvel fan could ever ask for. Tom Holland's Peter Parker had already been through plenty of emotional moments in his MCU tenure, experiencing the lows in moments like Tony Stark's death and the terrors of having his identity revealed to the world. However, nothing hurt him the way he was broken when Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin murdered Peter's last family member in cold blood. ADVERTISEMENT Even for a movie that ended with Peter Parker having to restart his entire life, which was sad in itself, May's death came as the emotional gut-punch right before the third act got underway. In a recent chat with the film...
