spiderman: no way home spoilers

the way nwh has monsters and web-slinging and a bloody multiverse (and is extremely entertaining) while still being able to talk about themes that relate to our own lives is just so, so special to me.

the entire conflict of the movie, the reason all the villains + tobey + andrew came back, was because of tom's peter. for the first time, he's saving the world from his own actions.

to me, I interpret the storyline as going against the idea of 'you do good, you get good'. because tom's peter didn't get anything good out of helping everyone (besides his own validation that he did the right thing).

he actually ended up getting the opposite: losing his identity - not even his 'spider-man' identity, but his peter identity, the one that still has some shred of normalcy and grounds him in his life. and he knows what he's getting into. and he still does it anyway when he makes that decision and asks dr strange to erase everyone's memories. i think thats what it means to do good - to put value on that action over one's own personal benefit. to know that putting goodness into the world is more important than your personal comfort.

it also really shows how we take memories for granted. the fact that you can walk into a room and someone will see your face and remember the time you called your teacher 'mom' and what your favourite colour is and the hurtful things you've said. when everyone loses their memory of peter, no one can love him OR hate him. everyone just feels indifference for him.

also, the movie showed how having good intentions and trying to help people doesn't mean they're gonna be great people. it doesn't guarantee they're loyalty or kindness.

peter just helps people. it doesn't matter who the person is, or "who's responsibility it is to help" - if he is in the position to help, he will help. AND the epitaph on aunt may's gravestone that said 'help someone and you help everyone' - I think about that a lot.

AND of course andrew and tobey coming back - besides bringing back many hidden childhood memories and validating me for life, both their arcs in this movie remind me of that quote, 'be the person your younger self needed'. it encompasses everything they do in this movie. how they help peter to make the decisions they wish they'd made (and that in turn helps them heal their own wounds).

in real life, we can't give our younger selves the love they needed, but by helping other people who are in the similar situations that we were once in, I believe we heal some of our own wounds as well.

Wow! A compliment? For me??
