Spider-Man: No Way Home
The MCU’sSpider - Isle of Man 3has an Iron Man problem and the only way to solve it is by draw Uncle Ben significant toPeter Parker ’s inception storyagain . The tragically murdered forefather - figure to Peter Parker has traditionally been a major part of Spider - Man ’s origination , offering him the fundament of his intact heroic notion organisation ( even beyond his eminently quotable " with great power … " line ) . But the MCU chose not to make over Spider - Man ’s origin after two reboots , with interview already very conversant with how Spider - Man got his powers .
At the prison term , it was n’t a bad idea , because it allowed for an almost fully - work hero to go far into theCaptain America : Civil Warpicture before stepping back into his own solo movies . But then the MCU filled the void leave by Ben with Tony Stark and did the character a disservice , not to name completely reframing Spider - Man ’s own story . Rather than becoming a Hero of Alexandria inspire by the principles and morals of his uncle and cemented by his decease , Peter Parker became Stark ’s favorite labor - a foster Word he molded into his own image who naturally then mourned hisdeath inAvengers : Endgame .

The problem with that is that Peter Parker has never had his own story to tell apart , as long as he ’s stood in Iron Man ’s shadow . His grief at the loss of Tony eclipsed any emotional reception to Uncle Ben ’s decease , which became nothing more than a historical footer . And that is fundamentally a betrayal of Spider - Man ’s core and a hindrance to the MCU ’s version of the character ’s future . If there is to be one beyondSpider - Man 3 , Peter Parker has to be allowed to move on fromIron Manand he should turn to his own past for the winder to do it .
Uncle Ben ’s expiry was n’t just a sad stock story . Unlike the murder of the Waynes , which twisted Bruce Wayne with vengeance , Ben ’s death overcharge Peter of his moral usher . In his absence , Peter ’s unspoken mantra would become " what would Uncle Ben do , " which flow through both of the late movie franchises , but his wraith also drove Peter in a more specific way that come back into play in theMCU’sSpider - Manthreequel . He was a monition for what might bechance to Peter ’s fellowship if it was discovered that he was Spider - Man . And founder that J Jonah Jameson has just break Parker ’s secret indistinguishability to the populace , that fear should be pressing again .
Spider - Man 3should refocus Peter Parker ’s story on his family , on the ghost of Uncle Ben , and away from Iron Man . Tony was never a estimable use model for Parker , even if he was a defender to him . He used him inCivil War , seek to hold in him through his technological " improvements " and ended up haunting him in a mode that disrespected Ben ’s memory . In the stake of making Spider - Man Iron Man ’s replacement , the MCU unwittingly made Tony Stark Uncle Ben ’s renewal and fleece the nerve of Peter Parker ’s storey . Recentering him inSpider - Man 3through the menace to his syndicate can remind Peter of who is as a torpedo in his own rightfulness , helping him get over Tony Stark - and crucially also step out ofIron Man ’s reductive shadow- and to honor the remembering of Uncle Ben in a way the MCUSpider - Manfranchise has so far failed to do .
