History Heartwarming / SpiderManNoWayHome

* When Peter grabs the cube from Doctor Strange, MJ tells him to run and then dramatically throws her arms wide and stands blocking the stairway to protect him as long as possible as he goes.

* The set-up was there for Ned to [[ConflictBall grow resentful and estranged from Peter]], since Peter's paying more attention to his relationship with MJ and the issues about his identity being revealed, which are harming Ned as well. [[SubvertedTrope But it doesn't happen]]. Ned sticks with Peter through everything, never feels Peter is taking him for granted, and the two remain friends up until Peter's ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the world. That's a rare kind of true friendship. Their final tearful goodbye to each other is as bittersweet as Peter and MJ's.

* There's something so heart-warming and sweet about Webb-verse Peter stopping the Peters from initiating their group plan for a moment. He huddles Peters 1 and 2 up again, and delivers this gem said in a awe-struck way:

-->'''Peter 3:''' I love you guys!\\

'''Peter Two:''' [[CallBack ...in the palm of your hand.]]

** The fact that Norman genuinely wants to help Otto return to normal indicates that the two scientists had a genuine companionship in the past, which is especially nice to see given how self-absorbed the former was in his first appearance. Norman even tries to comfort Otto as they're putting the new inhibitor chip on him, and he shows visible happiness and relief once Otto's mind is restored, clearly happy that his friend is back. On the flip side, Otto shows the same support for Norman, excitedly asking how it feels for Norman knowing he will become whole again with no darker half. Norman turns to give him a smile and Otto smiles back to him, warmly. When Goblin full resurfaces, Otto is visibly concerned & upset. He calls out to Norman but is told by Goblin that Norman is gone. When Goblin gives his speech about their powers being gifts, Otto again calls out to his friend, to no avail.

** It's also worth noting that up to that point, Dillon was the only person Connors spoke whereas he just ignored or roared,at everyone else.
* Though it happens to obviously be a part of his twisted scheme to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate the other villains]] and [[SpannerInTheWorks ruin Peter's plans to redeem them]], Green Goblin tells Max that their powers are gifts, not curses and essentially gives him the validation that he always wanted. Unfortunately, of course, this gets Max to perform a RedemptionRejection and to steal the arc reactor.

* Back in his home universe, Max Dillon is an outcast who is often bullied and forgotten by his co-workers which resulted in him becoming a supervillain once he got his powers. It turns out there is one co-worker who knew of him, Curtis Connors, despite being in his Lizard form, still talks in a polite tone and recognized Dillon despite his new looks. ** It's also worth noting that up to that point, Dillon was the only person Connors spoke whereas he just ignored or roared,at everyone else.

* As a whole, the [[EarnYourHappyEnding hard-earned happy endings]] given to the villains:
** The Green Goblin is destroyed forever, and while Norman will have to live with the guilt of what he did in both ''Film/SpiderMan1'' and this film, he is fully free of his evil other personality and will return to a universe where his son is still alive.

** The Green Goblin is destroyed forever, and while Norman will have to live with the guilt of what he did in both Spider-Man 1 and this film, he is fully free of his evil other personality and will return to a universe where his son is still alive.
** Otto's situation is a bit tricky at first, since he tells the precise moment when he was extracted from: when he had his Peter by the throat, seconds before he would've remembered his mission and fought them off anyway, only to sacrifice himself to stop his fusion reactor. He'll be sent right back to that moment to virtually no difference-- except Otto is sent back with something extra: the [[MacGuffin Arc Reactor from the Fabricator.]] With this, he'll be able to stop the fusion reactor without cost of his life. Otto is given full control of his tentacles again, and the Arc Reactor represents exactly what he dreamed of; clean and safe energy for the world.

** Dr. Connors is cured as he was in his film, but possibly before The Lizard killed Captain Stacy, preventing both that guilt and the tragic chain of events it caused.
** Max Dillon is cured of his Electro powers, albeit with quite a makeover, and given a new chance (and an important pep-talk by his universe's Spider-Man).
** While the two alternate Spider-Men will still return to their timelines (and in Peter 3's case, a timeline where Gwen Stacy is still dead), they have closure to their greatest failings, bringing them some peace.

-->'''Peter 1:''' Hey, uh, I think this is it -- I think you're about to go home! But I, uh -- thank you. I just wanted to tell you that, uh--- that I-- I really don't know how to say this, but... I want you to know that I'm...\\

* All three Spider-Men share a brotherly GroupHug when it's time for [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy two]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries of them]] to go back to their respective universes. Doubly Heartwarming, as it's essentially [[RealitySubtext Tom Holland and the rest of the modern MCU giving very-much due credit and thanks to the cinematic Spider-Man franchises that came before]].

'''Peter 1:''' ''(smiling)'' Yeah, it's what we do. Um, I gotta go find Ned and MJ and uh... ''(hugs both Peters)'' Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

** As Peter grieves for his dying aunt, Happy shows up and blocks the way to soldiers trying to capture Peter, giving him some time and even shouting for him to get a way, putting Peter’s safety above all else.

* Although Ned's MomentKiller interruption of Peter and MJ's rooftop conversation is PlayedForLaughs, the couple never treat him like a ThirdWheel and include him in all of their plans for the future, even sharing his excitement at the prospect of the three of them living together in college.

* When going over everything the bartender told him about the universe he's in currently, Eddie Brock first recaps with "[[Film/IronMan1 a billionaire with a tin suit that can fly]]". The bartender responds by crossing-himself out of respect for Tony's sacrifice.

''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' is definitely darker than the previous films in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, but one thing remains crystal clear: the friendly neighbourhood web-slinger is still a bringer of hope.

** Before the ''More Fun Stuff'' version of the movie opens, both Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/TomHolland tell Creator/AndrewGarfield that they love him [[SpeakingInUnison in unison]] as a CallBack to the earlier scene.
