Peter having a mentor who takes the spotlight away from him in the movies that are supposed to be focused on him would be akin to the Avengers showing up in every issue of, say, The Amazing Spider-Man starting with Issue #1 back in 1963.

It demonstrates a lack of faith in the character.

And it feels very frustrating. Spider-man is a character I prefer to standalone, and he is being lost in the MCU machine.

Except that never happened in any of the MCU movies. If you consider a 10 minute cameo stealing the spotlight, well, it's time to step out of the hyperbolic chamber.

And, oh yeah... FF showed up in issue #1 of ASM... Dr Doom in issue 5... Hulk in 14... Daredevil in 16...
 
I think real "solo-movies" were a thing back 1. done to introduce characters, and 2. when the MCU wasn't a huge canvass yet, but various smaller parts of it that weren't yet connected.

Spidey is too connected to the rest of the MCU that it doesn't feel contrived to partner him up with another of the heroes, but feels natural after everything the character's been through (and will be going through). Homecoming was a solo-movie, granted with Tony (and Happy), but they stayed in the background and let Peter have his highschool-issues and superhero-adventures.

I'm happy about the news, I think the Tony-Peter-Strange interaction on the doughnut in IW was fabulous, and I certainly don't mind seeing more of Peter and Strange together in one movie. After all, they're my favourite characters left (with Bucky and Loki - looking forward to their resp series...), couldn't care less about the others.

Spider-Man: Can't Go Home Again
I know this is joke, but after where Far From Home, this could be a pretty good title, if he ended up having to hide or go on the run.

Another title idea I had is, Spider-Man: Homefield Advantage.

You mean, like "Black Panther" or "Ant-Man and the Wasp"? ;)
 
He mind f'd the entire planet to make them forget Spider-Man's identity after 'Civil War'. Well technically it was Mephisto rewriting history that led to it happening but let's not dive down that particular hell hole.

Doctor Strange: Powerful enough to erase memories from most of the planet, not powerful enough to heal a bullet wound on an old lady (seriously, the hoops they went through to justify no one on Earth being able to heal the dying of a bullet wound Aunt May made the entire Marvel Universe look like idiots, just another shitty part of One More Day...).

As for the movie, I really disliked Homecoming and Far From Home, even though I'm generally fine with Holland as Spider-Man, and I'm expected the next film to continue that trend.

I know it's not canon, but a fan-accepted theory is that when Peter went to ask all those great minds if they could save May and they said they couldn't...those were just illusions created by Mephisto.

Well, that makes a lot more sense, it wouldn't have saved the story but it would have made it a bit less stupid. Still, in this case a fan theory is just a fan theory unfortunately, although it is a pretty good one.
 
Well...this isn't what I expected for MODOK...but at least it's something very different:

So FandomWire is reporting that Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield are signed onto the 3rd MCU/Sony Spiderman movie and they will team up in a showdown against other spiderman villains including Jamie Foxx's Electro from Amazing Spiderman 2 (not a new take).

Sounds too good to be true. I haven't seen other sites reporting this yet but certainly a possibility given that Strange and Electro are in it. This is their answer to the multi Batman Flash film and a way to tie all the Spiderman properties together for Sony. Is it too much too soon? This way we might see Venom crop up too.
