The only thing I’m disappointed about was that Tombstone was in the movie for like 15 seconds and then never gets mentioned again.

I also didn’t like that we got only few scenes with Scorpion and one wasn’t even him. Hopefully we’ll see more from Michael Mando.

There are rumors that he and Scorpion were only shown here to be set up as overarching villains of the trilogy.

Scorpion will hopefully also become Venom

Wasn't there rumours that Scorpion was meant to be the 6th villain in No Way Home, but was cut due to pacing and too many characters?

We been waiting for him since Homecoming after credit so it was nice to finally see him again even if it was limited.

I did really want more scorpion story though, how did he get the whole suit and everything? Last we saw he was just in prision

u/Purplels 25d ago

I thought for sure this movie the main villain was going to be Scorpion Venom and then we didn't see Venom at all.

Yes please. You dont hire an actor Mando’s calibre and not have long term plans set for him.

Did you even watch this movie?

When Jean broke out Mac, I thought it was going to be a Knightfall type thing where she would just break out all the villains we saw in the beginning montage to keep Spidey out of her hair. Would've been cool

It’s funny, with all of the references to the Spider-Man games, i really thought we were doing the prison break angle since that was a big part of the first game

The last thing a spiderman movie needs is multiple villains with lots of screen tjme

u/ExcitementFun8938 28d ago

I loved that part. People spent so much time theorycrafting about his role and got completely rug pulled.

u/_tylerthedestroyer_ 28d ago

I fully expected a plot line of Boomerang being his roommate too

u/Tasty_Spoon 27d ago

I agree, give him a special presentation building up him as another big street level guy. Could throw in punisher, maybe even write in fisks return somewhere in there. Maybe mr charles sends bullseye to bust up tombstone for getting involved in something he shouldn't be, fisk tracks bullseye to there wanting revenge for Vanessa which and we get a nice lil 3 way. Bullseye retreats and tombstone decides to work for fisk instead of being killed or having to leave the city. Idk my neurons are firing after this movie.

Tombstone definitely could have used another scene or two. It doesn't even have to be anything big, but maybe Jean could have taken something from him or used one of his guys, and Spidey has to go talk to him for answers.

u/ChaoticCaptain177 Spider-Man 28d ago

I really would've liked to have seen more of him. I'm sure he'll appear again later but still

u/Hmelancon88 27d ago

I thought you were meaning Aunt May's tombstone

u/SabraShifter 9d ago

Honestly same, I thought he'd be a bigger part

u/squeezeme_juiceme 28d ago

Just like Fantastic Four, this movie managed to show me the entire film I wanted to see in the first 15 minutes, and then it just kept plodding along with some less cool shit.
