“Spider-Man: No Way Home” concludes and releases the story, further leaps forward for the MCU version of Spider-Man

As a coming-of-age story, as a thriller movie

In the MCU, which has now become a huge franchise, the ``Spider-Man'' series had its own uniqueness as a ``youth movie.'' As mentioned earlier, this is Peter Parker's coming-of-age story, and it also has strong elements as a school comedy. Her romance with MJ, her relationship with Ned, and scenes with her classmates are also common throughout the trilogy, which also depicts changes in the characters around her.

However, since Peter is Spider-Man and has conflicts with his daily life, the MCU trilogy is a heartbreaking coming-of-age story similar to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and the Amazing Spider-Man two-part series. This can be said to be a "Spider-Man-like" aspect that remains unchanged no matter how many times it is made into a movie, but the main feature of the MCU version - which may also be due to the charm of Tom Holland, who plays the character - is that it incorporates light humor into it. be.

Therefore, even at the beginning of this film, where Peter finds himself in a desperate predicament, the taste of the previous work is deliberately inherited. Depending on how it was drawn, it could have been a serious story from beginning to end, but instead it is depicted in a cheerful manner. Contrary to the seriousness of the incident, Peter, MJ, Ned and the others are easily caught up in an unprecedented situation in an almost fuss-like atmosphere. The structure begins by reconfirming the taste of the MCU version of the Spider-Man series, and then gradually approaches the core of the story.

Director Jon Watts infuses this work with more authorship than his previous two films, in order to conclude the story he has written. In the first place, the motif of "transformation" has been around since his directorial film " The Crown " (14), in which he depicted a father who transforms into a man-eating clown, and " COP" , which was a showdown between mischievous boys and an unscrupulous police officer. The ``boy and frightening adult'' structure of ``CAR/Cop Car '' (15) is also used in the ``Spider-Man'' series. Vulture, played by Michael Keaton in the first movie, and Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal in the second movie, are different types, but they are extremely scary adults for Peter.

In that sense, ``Spider-Man: No Way Home'' can be said to be a kind of culmination for director Watts. This time, the "terrifying adults" are Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Electro (Jamie Foxx), The Lizard, and Sandman. More specifically, Doctor Strange, who approaches Peter with a semi-coercive attitude in order to somehow bring the situation under control, is one of them. In scenes with dark tones, you can also glimpse director Watts' merciless sharpness that reflects his horror/thriller experience.

This time around, Peter has to go toe-to-toe with terrifying adults and overcome challenges. Overcoming these challenges is directly connected to his maturation as Spider-Man. All of the adults played by the film industry's most talented actors are all "scary", but Willem Dafoe's performance, which is even scarier than Spider -Man (2002), is especially impressive. The acting battle between Tom, who has become a young top star in the role of Spider-Man, and the big actors is very interesting as it overlaps with the relationships between Peter and the villains in the movie.
