The Spider-Man film series contains a number of inconsistencies that might not bother you while watching, but can become bothersome later on. Some of these plot holes have been discussed among fans for quite some time, while others could potentially be crucial mysteries in the upcoming phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite these inconsistencies, the Spider-Man movies remain enduring classics and continue to draw fans whenever their favorite wall-crawler returns to the big screen. While Marvel Studios might address some of the larger issues soon, I fear that others will only serve to further puzzle me.
It’s important to acknowledge that many of the apparent inconsistencies or plot holes often pointed out in fan discussions can be rationalized as coincidences, which are a necessary element in these films. For instance, in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it just so happens that Doctor Octopus is causing havoc on the same bridge where Peter Parker was at the beginning of the movie. Given the unpredictable nature of these stories, I can understand and accept this occurrence. The movies are filled with improbable events, and if they paused to marvel at their implausibility, they would be excessively long.
What I find most perplexing are the inconsistencies that clash with the established narrative and remain unresolved, often related to superpowers or other magical aspects of the storyline. However, the worldwide memory wipe spell in Spider-Man’s universe doesn’t fit this category for me, as it’s an ongoing enigma rather than a plot hole. The creators will need to address some of our questions about this spell when Spider-Man reappears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Only a handful of puzzling aspects remain unresolved in the Spider-Man films from the past two decades, and these inconsistencies are indeed perplexing. Here’s an examination of three lingering questions that have yet to be addressed in the Spider-Man series.
Mysterio’s Plan in Spider-Man: Far From Home
In Spider-Man: Far From Home, the introduction seemed somewhat hurried, almost unsuitable for the Marvel Cinematic Universe at that moment. Peter Parker unwittingly finds himself entangled in a global peril, which intertwines with Nick Fury’s squad and the emerging superhero Quentin Beck, alias Mysterio. Claiming to be a traveler from another dimension where the planet was devastated by this shape-shifting beast, he arrived here hoping to safeguard this earth since he couldn’t protect his own world.
There are several issues with Beck’s plan that need addressing. Firstly, it seems questionable that his cover story would hold up if he was using his real name, as he apparently did. Given that he is an engineer developing advanced technology for Stark Industries, there should have been a trail of records to investigate. Even if Fury himself wasn’t present, one of the numerous spies posing as him should have triggered an alert about Beck’s background. If Beck claimed to be an alternate version of himself, it would have been wise for Fury’s team to confirm this by locating the original Beck.
In the meantime, it would have been ideal for one of Earth’s numerous superheroes to prevent Beck’s schemes. The actions he was orchestrating were far from small, designed as they were to generate a media frenzy. These attacks occurred repeatedly in a specific part of Europe. By the third incident, it seems likely that other heroes would have taken notice and intervened, reaching out to Fury to join the effort.
As a die-hard Marvel fan, I can’t help but reflect on the aftermath of “Avengers: Endgame” which left some earthly titans like Hulk, Hawkeye, War Machine, Doctor Strange, Falcon, and the Winter Soldier still standing. It’s no secret that not every movie can be a blockbuster crossover, but it’s essential to address these characters’ ongoing presence. Typically, the Marvel Cinematic Universe handles this with a casual remark about their preoccupation, but the creators of “Far From Home” confessed they were in the dark about who made it through “Endgame” since the information was kept under wraps. Interestingly, many other heroes’ abilities could have pierced Mysterio’s illusions with ease.
Peter’s Power-Up in Public
Reflecting on 2002, I recall Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker, who was anything but discreet about his powers initially. He sauntered through school with a newfound swagger that would have been peculiar enough if it hadn’t been for the transformation of this wallflower. But what really took the cake was the scene where Peter openly displayed his powers in the cafeteria, squaring off against Flash Thompson in full view of numerous onlookers. To top it off, he used his webs to pull a tray from an adjacent table towards himself, making his powers undeniably obvious.
After some time, an unusual frenzy swept through New York City as they attempted to unmask Spider-Man. Even The Daily Bugle was asking for clues. It’s puzzling that no one pointed out the high school student who was publicly using webs, and underwent a significant physical change in a short period.
Ned Uses the Sling Ring in Spider-Man: No Way Home
To wrap up, the recently released film featuring Peter Parker, titled Spider-Man: No Way Home, poses significant queries regarding Sling Rings. This prop belonging to Doctor Strange is pivotal in the storyline – Peter utilizes it to imprison Doctor Strange within the Mirror Dimension by confiscating his ring, while Ned Leeds later employs a borrowed one to locate multiple Spider-Man counterparts. This brings about two intriguing points: how did Strange manage to escape from the Mirror Dimension and why is Ned so adept at using the ring?
Although neither scenario demands extensive elaboration, they are perplexing enough to be annoying. If Doctor Strange had other magical abilities or techniques to escape from the Mirror Dimension, why did it take him so much time? As for Ned, we only receive a hint that he believes there were magic users in his family’s past. Yet, Doctor Strange is depicted as an intellectual powerhouse, and in his initial film, his rapid mastery of mystic arts is impressive. Even during his training montage, the Sling Ring was portrayed with great significance, and he didn’t become proficient with it swiftly.
Certain queries might get resolved down the line, while others won’t, fingers crossed for Ned Leeds to make a trip to Kamar-Taj and ascend as the next Sorcerer Supreme. In the interim, feel free to watch both Spider-Man and Far From Home on Disney+, with the majority of MCU films also accessible there. As of now, No Way Home isn’t part of any streaming subscriptions, but you can rent or buy it from digital stores. Its sequel is slated for a July 31st, 2026 release, however, it looks probable that we’ll catch Spider-Man in action again before then.
