You are absolutely correct about No Way Home riding Spider-Verse's coattails with none of the clever storytelling or visual panache. It didn't even need to look as vibrant as Spider-Verse. Having an ounce of Sam Raimi's flair would have done it, but they couldn't even muster that. I'll never get over Tobey Maguire's triumphant return being... him just walking into a room.

Thank you for providing some context to this terrible trend.
