“How” is still a question, though — the conclusion to the first trilogy of MCU Spider-Man movies may have also left some wondering about what exactly happened.
The conduit to these events is Doctor Strange — from other timelines, i.e.
Marvel could, of course, make those rules more solid or provide a better explanation in the upcoming Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
But for now, to save the multiverse from collapsing onto itself and spilling into the main MCU timeline, everyone — including Strange himself — had to have MCU Peter Parker wiped from their brains.
They finally gave the character more to do than just be “hot Aunt May” or “young Aunt May” by really leaning into how she wanted to help people.
For Peter Parker, though, his goodness is tethered to responsibility and remembering his love for Uncle Ben and now Aunt May.
They also have the opportunity to be good and change lives for the better in their own timelines, especially since more than a few of them are geniuses.
The Spidey saying goes “with great power, comes great responsibility,” and a lot of that great power in the past couple Spider-Man movies, including No Way Home, has been Peter learning how to harness what Tony has given him.
Now, with Tony’s death in Endgame, May’s death in No Way Home, and Strange’s spell that made everyone Peter Parker has ever known forget about Peter Parker, our hero has nothing and no one.
In a passing exchange, Doctor Strange tells Peter Parker that Wong is now Sorcerer Supreme after Strange was snapped out of existence for five years.
Considering Doctor Strange not only brought beings from alternate timelines into the main MCU but also wrecked the fabric of the multiverse in trying to fix his mistake, it seems as though Wong and other sorcerers will, at the very least, give Strange a stern talking to.
He’ll need to repair the multiverse he broke, and he may go rogue — and seek out Wanda Maximoff — without the blessing of Wong and other sorcerers.
Everyone who fought the last battle in Endgame attended Tony Stark’s funeral, where Peter quite publicly said goodbye.
But, in this new world, Spider-Man and all of his heroics do still exist — as we know from J.
It sure seems as though the Avengers are spread far and thin at the moment, and you could make the very strong argument that they don’t even exist as a team anymore .
