Spider-Man: No Way Home is easily the most crowd-pleasing entry into Phase 4 of the MCU so far, and it's now returned to theaters with "More Fun Stuff," which adds new footage to the thrilling superhero movie.Extended cuts are nothing new for the superhero movie genre, and No Way Home has had several notable moments cut from its December 2021 theatrical release. Despite that, Spider-Man fans may wonder if it's worth it. see this remake of the film, especially considering the sparse amount of new footage on No Way Home releases in domestic media.The funnier version of No Way Home certainly changes the movie, but whether or not it improves on the original, let alone whether this new iteration is worth a second theatrical run, is another matter.After a Captain America debut, two solo films, and two Avengers appearances, the MCU's iteration of Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, is finally starting to resemble his comic book counterpart in No Road Home, which adapts loosely, no doubt. the worst Spider-Man comic book (One More Day) and turns it into what is easily one of the best Spider-Man movies.No Way Home not only features the return of five supervillains from previous Spider-Man film franchises (including Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, who remains one of the genre's best antagonists), but also variants of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. and Andrew Garfield.The return of the two previous web-slingers and the fantastic chemistry of the multiversal trio is easily one of No Way Home's highlights.Naturally, No Way Home fans will flock to theaters to see the extended edition of the film, with its "More Fun Stuff" title addendum perhaps implying that the 13 minutes of new footage will focus on the best parts of the original cut (the three Spider-Man variants and Willem Dafoe's chilling performance as Norman Osborn).More Fun Stuff" ultimately means is an iteration of No Way Home with a slightly greater focus on Spider-Man's now-public dual identity and a useful moment of clarification on the ultimate reality warping spell of the ending.Those expecting more footage from the multiversal trio of Spider-Man and Dafoe's Green Goblin might be a little disappointed, but the extended cut is ultimately a superior version of the film.That said, the new scenes don't seem like a worthy justification for a return to theaters, even though No Way Home itself does.Mostly No Way Home The More Fun Stuff version's new scenes are set before Peter Parker and Doctor Strange accidentally bring the supervillains and Spider-Men from other realities into the MCU, with Damage Control interrogations, News from the Daily Bugle and interviews of Betty Brant at school.of the additional 13 minutes of footage.The most notable changes made to the film, however, are the integration of a deleted scene in which Spider-Man to a thief (played by Tom Holland's brother Harry Holland), has nearly every civilian arguing over the suitability. of a teenager fighting crime, and is splattered with green paint by a Mysterio sympathizer.This, along with the additional high school footage, gives viewers a better idea of ​​how much the reveal of Peter's Spider-Man identity has affected him.Perhaps the most useful new addition to No Way Home, however, is the new post-credits scene that features the latest Betty Brant school news segment, set after Doctor Strange erases Peter Parker's world of memories.Peter Parker is notably absent or obscured in all photos and videos shown during the segment, establishing that not only has the world forgotten about him, but all documentation of his existence has been affected by Strange's reality-altering spell.For viewers confused by the ending of the original cut, the scene is quite helpful in explaining Peter Parker's new situation and perhaps should have been included in the December 2021 iteration of the film.While the new post-credits scene and several new comedic moments are certainly welcome in the No Way Home extended cut, viewers expecting a plethora of additional scenes from the three Spider-Men and the Green Goblin will be disappointed.The extent of the new footage of the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield cut is approximately an additional three minutes of the three web-slingers talking before the start of the third act battle.The deleted fight scene between Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Dafoe's Green Goblin is sadly absent, as are any significant or noteworthy moments from the trio, aside from a vague hint that Maguire and Garfield may return in a future installment. portion of the MCU.Ultimately, the most "fun" elements of No Way Home receive the least amount of new footage in the "More Fun Stuff" edition.Despite its underwhelming additions, the More Fun Stuff version of No Way Home is a better iteration of the film than its original incarnation.The scenes are seamlessly integrated into the film and never interrupt the flow of the narrative.In that regard, No Way Home More Fun Stuff version is a much better extended cut than Spider-Man 2 "Spider-Man 2.1" edition, whose additional footage constantly breaks the film's pacing, is edited abruptly, and adds little more. than distractions to a phenomenal movie.When all is said and done, Spider-Man: No Way Home is worth seeing again in theaters, but the new footage isn't.Save my name,
