* Aunt May telling Peter "with great power, there must also come great responsibility," is not just a TruerToTheText version of the famous quote, but also highlights a subtle yet profound difference from the [[BeamMeUpScotty more popularized version attributed to Uncle Ben.]] In the previous Spider-Man film continuities where Uncle Ben died, especially in the Raimi trilogy, it was presented in the context of "if you don't use your great power, bad things will happen." But here, Aunt May, as someone who started a charity to help homeless people and was willing to take in an addled Norman Osborn despite him being a perfect stranger with clear signs of mental instability, reframes the lesson in a different context along the lines of "if you have the power to help someone, you must do so, regardless of the personal cost." This becomes key to the MCU Peter finally going through with the memory erasure spell, understanding that saving the world and everyone he cares about ''must'' come first, even if he has to make the greatest possible sacrifice of being wiped from everyone's memory.

* Andrew's Spider-Man dives after MJ, catches her himself, and then decelerates them both with a web, avoiding MJ dying via being roughly yanked from terminal velocity like Gwen did. Given how much that affected him, he likely made ''damn'' sure if something like that ever happened again, he'd know exactly what to do differently.

*** Also, since Peter is a fundamentally good person, there's a chance that he stopped immediately around the time after he stopped pulling his punches and that he felt guilty just from severely harming someone from not pulling his punches.

* When Norman regains control after [[DeathofPersonality the Green Goblin is removed]], he quietly asks Peter (and himself) [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what he's done]]. This could have been because he caught sight of [[BackStab what he's done to Raimi-Peter]], but there's a possibility that he's also remembering [[MentorOccupationalHazard what]] [[TheCorrupter he's]] [[OmnicidalManiac done]] since the Green Goblin took over in the apartment. And if that IS the case, then does that mean [[AndIMustScream Norman was fully aware of what the Goblin was doing]], [[ForcedToWatch and simply helpless to stop it]]?
** If that IS the case, then Norman could have [[FightingfromtheInside possibly been trying to stop himself]] while out of the driver's seat. [[SplitPersonalityTakeover He fails]].

* Flint Marco never fully takes on his human form throughout the film. It's possible he never felt the need to but it's also possible that he's not capable of doing it anymore. This might mean his condition is worsening and if he hadn't been cured he may have deteriorated into nothing but a pile of sand.

** In addition, the places they enter from reflect the tones of their films. ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' attempted to be more "grounded", so Andrew's Peter is introduced running through a dark alleyway. Meanwhile, the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' was more operatic and often incorporated the visual imagery of New York City into promotional material to connect Spider-Man with the city more intimately. So he enters through the portal from a rooftop where the Empire State Building is visible.

* So... if Norman Osborn, Otto Octavious and Max Dillon were all pulled away before they died, in some cases even mere ''seconds'' before they died... and were returned cured, that means they wouldn't die. This was the entire reason behind Tom Spidey wanting to cure them, so they could go home and survive whatever killed them, changing their fates. This means Max went back to his own universe without his powers, and his fight with Andrew Spidey ended prematurely with Max still alive. If the fight ended earlier than it needed to, then Gwen wouldn't have needed to reset the power system to kill Electro like they did in the original film... meaning Gwen wouldn't be nearby when the Green Goblin turned up (still in the general vicinity but not near Peter)... meaning Peter could have fought him one-on-one without needing to worry about her... which could mean that ''Gwen is alive now''.

** Adding to that, Ned FULLY believes in the existence of magic, even saying that it runs in his family. Strange, when he arrived at Kamar-Taj, absolutely did NOT believe in such things (calling it all s bunch of cheap tricks and charalatanery), so Ned may have inherently been in the right headspace to tap into the power of the ring.

* Why does Peter still frequently wear his mask when going into battle as Spider-Man even though his identity is public knowledge? When he first debuted in in the MCU in Civil War he explained to Tony that the goggles her wore (now replaced by the eyes of his mask) help him cope with the enhanced sensory input that comes with this powers. His mask has always served a practical purpose aside from concealing his identity.

* Peter ultimately choosing to not tell MJ who he is at the end after he sees she still has her bandage and breaking his promise, parallels another moment in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', when another Peter, Peter Quill made a promise to his love interest that because of the emotions running high he wasn't able to follow through on until it was too late when he wasn't able to kill Gamora after she made him promise he would.

* While they didn't appear in the Spider-Verse comics crossover, the two Previous Peters were mentioned in it. It could have happened after this movie, so that they won't recall adventures with other Spideys.

** Webb and Raimi Peter are fine. The Infinity stones are infinitely (no pun intended) more powerful than Dr. Strange, and they can only function within their home reality. Logically, Strange's spell can only reach the borders of his universe and no further. He might be able to open the door to other realities, accidentally or otherwise, but affecting them on the same scale is out of the question. Otherwise, every universe would be subjected to the spells of every other theoretical universe, including the one where Dr. Strange had too much to drink one night and decided to cast a spell to collapse the entire multiverse (all possibilities exist in an infinite multiverse, therefore...).

** It's not even implied, Dr. Strange outright states in the Mirror Dimension fight that in an infinite Multiverse, there are logically an infinite number of people who know Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

** On a more hopeful note, the symbiote left behind is of the same type as the [[Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse Sony Venom]] movies. Said symbiotes are not AlwaysChaoticEvil like many versions tend to be in various adaptions. This symbiote has the potential to be a good/not totally evil being when bonded with Peter.
