It's not just the DVDs, though. The article says it's all physical releases that are missing them. My guess is they're going to do an extended cut in theaters and squeeze more money out of it before putting out another physical release for the extended version.

Just saw it. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}It was fine. Less attached to it than a lot of people. It's ultimately a theme park attraction. One of my biggest pet peeves with the "multiverse" thing a bunch of comic book movies are now doing is it allows the filmmakers to traffic in the feelings and nostalgia that decades of good comic book stories and the like have given us without doing any of the work themselves. Like, J. Jonah Jameson in this movie is the perfect example. Lots of changes. Lots of do-overs with characters. Like, that Electro is not the Electro of the other movies. At all.
I'm glad people love it so much, I REALLY loved seeing Otto get redeemed as that particular Doctor Octopus is my favorite Spider-Man character from the movies for being the only one who would call Peter out on his silliness sometimes. Also Andrew Garfields Peter getting the do-over on Gwens death. What a beautiful moment. I saw The Batman at the cinema and this on digital download in the same week (for the first time). Comparatively I saw probably the best Batman movie ever vs standard Marvel fare with part-timers thrown in taking screentime from the regular cast (just like Wrestlemania pal) - fun, but nothing different to what's already happened in the MCU over 14 years

At this point, that's like complaining VHS has gone away. The fact DVD even still gets releases is a surprise to me. It's time to upgrade people! The Blu Ray doesn’t have them either. Or the 4K Blu Ray. Despite the fact that the packaging explicitly says they’re on there

Ah, if they just outright lied about them being on ANY release, that's a dick move and they should face some form of repercussion for that

I already have HBO Max, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Disney Plus. But I cant see No Way Home unless I get another service, buy the DVD, or buy it digitally. And digitally is about the same price as a DVD except I dont own it. I own a license to play it that can go away at any time. So I would much rather buy something they cant take away.

I subscribe to them too, but I’ll always prefer my physical media over them.

That might not mean much if you're watching on a decade-old TV, but if you've got a TV from the last five years or so the difference is night and day.

I guess when you watch everything for free, you don't give a f*** about price.

Just saw it. I enjoyed it.
But it seemed like a major return to status quo movie.
Since now Peter is back to where he usually starts. With well one major exception.

I really think MCU Peter needed that reset though. Possibly... but like this way also opens a ton of weird plot holes. Like... how can he do anything since now he never legally existed... a lot of the problems he has can also be easily solved by showing up as Spider-man as all the stuff he did as Spider-man has apparently still happened... and going yeah... I'm Spider-man. I think there were ways to get to where he is now without the let's wipe the slate clean. Not to mention the Climax literally has Spider-man originally says everyone forgets he's Parker... and Strange says that won't work.. then he comes back and says the same thing and Strange says it might works >_>

Big difference.

Just no one remembers him. For instance he was born and received a SSN. But the doctor who delivered him never remembers delivering him. He was registered at school and there are records. But no one remembers ever interacting with him.

As I said I liked the movie I just think the ending was handled really clunky... just to get Spider-man back to more of the status quo.

Plus he may exist on paper at the school but no one being able to remember a thing about him would be strange and pulling at a thread. Hey at least judging by that apartment he is rich.

Finally saw this one. Enjoyed it a lot, easily my favourite Phase 4 MCU flick so far, ahead of Shang-Chi.
Definitely boosted things that I decided to do a re-watch of the Raimi, Webb, and MCU Spidey films over several nights as a lead-in to this.

So a Cracked article today declares that Tobey and Andrew Spider Men were screwed because Stranges spell would cause them to be forgotten as well. What the thoughts on this? Personally I think the spell was centered on Toms Spider Man so he was the only one affected.
They raise another point where they claim that Tobey would be returning to a universe where Norman had been cured so he would still be alive. I think this is incorrect as well. All of the villains were from different points in time but the spell was never mentioned as time travel. It says to me that they were all drawn from similar universes that just progressed at different rates of time.
