Go to any forum for a TV show after an episode. The amount of obvious things people get confused by is soul shattering. You will lose faith in humanity.
So, I’m not surprised if stupid people were confused by the ending. Unfortunately.
It’s honestly wild, and ranges from stuff that I can only assume is due to people playing on their phones and half-watching, to a level of ignorance about storytelling that basically requires the plot being exposition dumped for them to grasp it. I genuinely don’t get it, and it can make recommending good shows/movies difficult.
For some things yeah I can see that. For the MCU, I disagree. There are so many different plot lines and characters and this hovering idea about where different phases are leading. I don’t blame a casual or even Uber fan viewer for not fully trusting or understanding what a given MCU movie’s ending will mean going forward.
You don’t need to have seen any other movies to understand that nobody knows who Peter Parker is at the end of No Way Home. It’s the catalyst for the entire movie.
I think we’re talking about two different things. The point of OP’s post was the Director sharing thoughts about this being the origin story conclusion for MCU Spiderman. That’s not something we saw in the movie itself. Yep… we saw the part where no one knows who Peter is. We didn’t see the part where the Director talked about what it means in general for MCU spiderman.
He’s in high school the entire trilogy. Of course it’s an origin story. This stuff isn’t even worth debating over it’s so simple.
Sadly enough, the “cinema sins” YouTube channel is pretty representative of how dumb and inattentive the average viewer is.
