Spider-Man: No Way Home

Supposedly the in-story reason for why Marko constantly looked like a human shaped pile of sand instead of normal was because his powers were failing.

So yeah, he's still not evil but his life was getting progressively worse as he kept his powers.

Wait what? When was that established again?

I don't think they mention that in the movie, maybe in an interview?

I think it was an interview. I know it was not in the movie.

Which is a cop-out but hey at least there's an explanation.

By that logic, Flint would have even more motivation to wait to get cured.

But really it's just an explanation for the dodgy CGI because the actor couldn't get in due to COVID.

Flint addresses Peter by name, which implied to me that Peter and Flink interacted at some point after SM3 as well, because even though Flint saw Peter's face at the end and realized from context that he was Ben's nephew, I don't think he knew his name at that point.

Could have found out from Eddie, I guess. Or, the guy did kill Ben Parker and deeply regreted it... not hard to put the pieces together when someone comes after you for revenge over that murder. Who else could it be, Aunt May?

Regretting killing a guy and doing a search history on him are different.

Spider-Man (attempted) murdered Flint in retaliation for Ben Parker.

• Spider-Man: Flint Marko.
• Flint: What do you want from me?
• Spider-Man: Remember Ben Parker? The old man you shot down in cold blood?
• Flint: What does it matter to you anyway?
• Spider-Man: Everything! ... It's time to pay, Marko!

After a fight like this, I'd probably take some time to do a bit of Googling too.

It's kinda hard to Google when you're mud and Emo Peter is vibing.

Dear Sandman, how do you type with hands made of sand?

Compressed solid-sand fingers hovering on top of each key gives Sandman the ability to type 450 wpm. I wish I could have as many fingers are there are keys on the keyboard.

That reason, in your eyes, is?

...Why'd you delete your post? It's perfectly valid to talk about future movie ideas.

I wrote the same thing on the mcu, so I decided to remove one.

Basically the idea is that Daredevil trains Spider-man.

Would Matt’s fighting style serve Spidey?

When Shang-Chi taught Spider-Man way of the spider or whatever, it was a new martial arts form the guy had to invent specifically for Spidey because of all the advantages spider powers already offer

I personally think the best way you handle a Daredevil and Spidey team up is just having them both be equal partners but Matt is just a bit more experienced in detective work and understanding crime in a way that Peter has yet to.

That makes sense.

Consider that Peter while still stronger than Daredevil is still a teenager who is more used to just punching criminals and leaving them for the police to arrest.

So ideally, this is how Daredevil should complement Spider-Man in their team up. Let's say hypothetically, Spider-Man is pursing a crime that Wilson Fisk orchestrated. Peter goes up to his office as Spider-Man and just punches him and expects the police to arrest him, but then Kingpin spins the entire thing in his favor and makes Spider-Man look like a criminal.

Like that one scene in Spectacular with Tomestone.

This is where Daredevil comes in, he's the law savvy crime fighter who knows Fisk can't just be punched, and so this is where Spider-Man learns from him on how to combat crime better.

We need a mentor figure that improves Peter's abilities by making him smarter against crime not just giving him cool gadgets.

Peter is still young, he's got a lot to learn but he's survived lots of shit and has accomplishments so he shouldn't be treated like a rookie hero.
