A fan-crafted video by super spoon offers a glimpse of what the scene would look like in real-time, adding to its tragic nature. See for yourself by watching the clip below:
How No Way Home Redeemed Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man
Director Marc Webb skillfully utilized slow motion to heighten the emotional impact of the scene. However, watching the same sequence in real-time highlights the chaotic nature of the events that led to Gwen's tragic fate in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
One of the most memorable moments from Spider-Man: No Way Home was MJ's falling scene during its third act. This moment was particularly significant for Garfield's Peter Parker as it allowed him to redeem himself for his failure to save Gwen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Teaming up with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland's versions of the web-slinger in the MCU, Garfield's return to his Marvel role was a highlight of the third installment.
Recognizing the magnitude of the moment, Garfield conceded that it was the scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home that truly won him over. For devoted followers of The Amazing Spider-Man series, it was an especially poignant occasion. Not only did it pay tribute to Gwen's tragic demise in the sequel, but it also provided Garfield with a chance to showcase his acting chops as he grappled with tears while rescuing MJ. Despite the mixed reviews of his movies, Garfield is widely regarded as a superb Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
It remains to be seen whether Garfield will reprise his role as Spider-Man on the big screen. Following his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, there was a movement to continue his narrative as the web-slinger after The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While there is no word yet on whether this has gained any momentum, the expanding multiverse could open the door for his return.
