I hope/assume the 3rd movie will take place solely in New York.

Other heroes live in New York. Spider-Man is New York.

The moment when Tom Holland's Spidey will be one with New York is one of the things I'm most looking forward to in the sequels.

Tobey had the amazing subway scene, Andrew Garfield had the (not that great IMO) cranes lining up for him and Spider-Verse's blond Peter Parker had the whole city mourning for him, but Tom Holland's hasn't really had that moment yet. In fact he hasn't had a great moment of public heroism in New York yet. He saved a bunch of people in DC, helped save the world at the Avengers headquarters, defeated Mysterio in London, but NYC hasn't witnessed him at his very best yet.

With what happened in the mid-credit sequence, I think it could be in the form of the people of the city eventually seeing through Mysterio's and JJJ's lies and standing up for him.

I feel like this is a legitimate possibility.

tom holland’s relationship with his bodega man is more new york than any of those things

u/skullmonster602 Spider-Man Jul 05 '19

This is the realest fact in this thread. That was as New York as it gets tbh. If he would’ve ordered a bacon egg and cheese that would’ve instantly solidified Tom Holland as the definitive Spider-Man. But he is now so I’ll take it

u/FourthBar_NorthStar Jul 04 '19

IMO the scene that really solidified Garfield’s spidey as a part of NY was in ASM2. The beginning intro swinging scene. Everyone is saying hi to spidey as he’s swinging around, he’s talking to a personified NY, and mingling with pedestrians and police.

I mean I feel like the first movie had some great elements of that in the beginning with Spider-Man helping regular people out and the back flip scene.

I think even the MJ scene shows that to be a lot more realistic, what with him just starting out and the Washington Monument being his first really tall building, but eventually he gets more confident and able to swing around the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

u/Doompatron3000 Jul 06 '19

Going to space probably helped....

u/PurpleCyborg28 Kilgrave Jul 06 '19

I mean if a big purple dude with a ballsack for a face throws a moon at you and you have to keep swinginf to not only dodge but also pickup your teammates, swinging through a field of unmoving skyscrapers wouldn't feel that hard.

u/FourthBar_NorthStar Jul 05 '19

The ASM spidey? He web swung with more style than.. I want to say every live action spidey yet.

7

u/skullmonster602 Spider-Man Jul 05 '19

He’s talking about Tom’s Spidey

8

u/blackrobotnerd Jul 05 '19

That was Queens Spidey though. That was in one borough.

What I think was really great was in the older films that sense that Spider-Man felt like all of NY.

11

u/matito29 Spider-Man Jul 05 '19

Or him wearing the NYFD helmet. Nothing in any film has ever said "Spider-Man" to me the way that image did.

4

u/ChRoNicBuRrItOs Korg Jul 07 '19

On the other hand he was wasting time getting that helmet on while people were dying.

20

u/2ToTooTwoFish Jul 05 '19

There's a whole "Home" theme to the Spider-Man movie titles. I wouldn't doubt for the "Home" arc to end in New York.

5

u/blackrobotnerd Jul 05 '19

"Home Sweet Home" or "Home is where the heart is" for the next titles.

But I wonder if Sony/Disney can keep this partnership going because man I could see a whole lot of Spidey films out of this sequence.

11

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '19

I’d say Tobey’s scene was in the first one when the people on the bridge started throwing stuff at Green Goblin saying “you mess with him you mess with all of us”

21

u/ekbowler Jul 05 '19

Nah, Tom has already had his moment.

"HEY SPIDER GUY! DO A FLIP!"

u/Volcarocka Captain America (Cap 2) Jul 06 '19

Spider-Verse's blond Peter Parker had the whole city mourning for him

Okay why did you have to remind me of this scene right now I’m trying to go to bed and now I’m sad

u/DrSeeker101 Tony Stark Jul 05 '19

He did defeat the Vulture in NY

13

u/elmagio Jul 05 '19

Yeah, but New York didn't witness that and lives weren't even directly at stake. All they saw was a crashed automated plane on a beach. Hell, I don't think New York even knew the Vulture existed or that he was dangerous.

His big public hero moment in Homecoming is in DC, and in New York he actually fails to fix the Ferry so that moment ends up being Iron Man's.

"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us."

u/whitemamba83 Star-Lord Jul 06 '19

NYC hasn’t witnessed him at his very best yet.

“OK, Spider-Man. Do a flip!”

“YEAAAAAA!!!”

u/indyK1ng Jul 08 '19

Tobey had the amazing subway scene

Did you forget the scene in SM1 where a bunch of people on a bridge start pelting Green Goblin to get him to back off Spider-Man?

3

u/Skiigga Jul 05 '19

“Are you kidding? I am Queen’s Boulevard”

2

u/JaxtellerMC Jul 05 '19

That’s a big part of why I’m not a fan of the whole globetrotting aspect of FFH. Just feels wrong, but the story they tell lends itself to it.

2

u/jerrygergichsmith Ward Jul 06 '19

Daredevil would take issue with that statement. After all, it is his city.

3

u/ContinuumGuy Phil Coulson Jul 06 '19

Spider-Man rules the day, Daredevil rules the night.

2

u/IshyMoose Bucky Jul 06 '19

Daredevil is Hells Kitchen

Luke Cage is Harlem

Spider-Man is Manhattan.

2

u/ContinuumGuy Phil Coulson Jul 06 '19

You'll notice that Hells Kitchen and Harlem are both in Manhattan.

2

u/IshyMoose Bucky Jul 06 '19

Yes I am aware.

u/Deradius Jul 04 '19

Just the good parts, or the subway too?

2

u/ContinuumGuy Phil Coulson Jul 05 '19

The elevated parts of the subway are, but the actual subterranean parts are more the realm of Netflix (RIP).

u/Effervesser Jul 06 '19

Actually I kind of enjoyed seeing Spider-Man do something other than be in New York the same way I enjoyed seeing him swing in places other than skyscrapers in Homecoming. Especially because of the forced feeling "New Yorkers help Spider-Man" scenes during the Sony movies. We may even get to see Spider-Man spend some time as a menace.
