My Revolution of PARTs

Marvel and Sony's  Spider-Man: No Way Home is about to return to prominence thanks to its upcoming home release at the end of March 2022. The MCU's highest-grossing solo film in history is still one of the fandom's hottest topics thanks to new looks into the plot and stories behind the production. Villains like the Lizard and Doctor Octopus have shone in new promo material, as have both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men. One of No Way Home 's biggest challenges came in making sure all five villains from past Spider-Man movies looked the way they did before while also sporting new updates. While part of this came through action beats in the story, such as Doc Ock stealing the nanotech from Peter Parker's Iron Spider suit, others were more subtle and harder to notice at first glance. ADVERTISEMENT One of the bigger changes came with Rhys Ifans' Lizard, who fully embraced his new reptilian even more so than he did d...

Fans are now over a year into an entirely new era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The big shift? Disney+. The new tool in Marvel Studios’ toolbox has allowed the storytellers to tell narratives that would have never seen the light if movies were the only outlet. The first, and arguably most successful, was none other than WandaVision . The show starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany was like nothing else seen on television. The show’s opening episodes perfectly resembled a different decade of televised sitcoms before it was cracked open into a Twilight Zone -inspired mystery. ADVERTISEMENT Eventually, it’s revealed that Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness was behind everything going awry in Westview. She had arrived to investigate how Wanda Maximoff could be as powerful as she was. To conclude her investigation, the show’s eighth episode saw the witch take Wanda on a trip down memory lane. Now, thanks to a newly released book, it’s been revealed how tha...

Marvel Studios and Sony's smash hit  Spider-Man: No Way Home  continues to win the hearts of critics and fans alike. Of course, this is partly due to the fact that, through Multiversal shenanigans, the film brought back Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men from previous films, as well as a number of their notable villains, such as Alfred Molina's Doc Ock and Dr. Curt Connors aka, The Lizard. In 2012's  The Amazing Spider-Man , the first Andrew Garfield film, Peter Parker goes up against the fearsome alter ego of Dr. Connors, who has used his scientific know-how to heal his arm. But the process also transforms him into a hulking, reptilian creature.  ADVERTISEMENT The Lizard, as a character, is largely brought to life through computer-generated effects, and while his design in  No Way Home  adhered closely to his 2012 appearance, things didn't necessarily start out that way. Marvel Studios and Sony A Different Look For...

Tom Holland’s return as Spider-Man has been one of the most anticipated MCU projects of the last couple of years; something that shows given No Way Home is now one of the biggest films of all time. After Peter Parker’s identity was revealed to the world, fans had no idea where the story would go next—this was new territory for any live-action Spidey adaptation. Then it was announced that Benedict Cumberbatch was set to reprise his role as Doctor Strange in the movie, and everything started to fall into place: Peter was going to try to use magic to fix his problems. ADVERTISEMENT The character famously made a similar choice in the comic books to reverse his identity reveal in the Civil War event. The storyline, entitled  One More Day , actually involved Mephisto instead, and it didn’t go over well with readers. So it was odd to see Marvel Studios lean into this direction for the character. For those who have seen the film, it’s pretty clear that they m...
