We agreed, if I remember right, in the Spider-Man thread that the movie felt like it was afraid to trust the audience would just love Spider-Man unless the movie felt as huge as Endgame, so it was a fun movie but it just didn't feel like it happened to me by the end of it. I'd walked through the toy aisle and dad told me I couldn't have anything 'cause I'd failed multiplication that month.


I haven't seen this yet (who knows if it'll be in theaters, though I did like the first Strange and love Raimi) but it's my greatest fear, that so much of its momentum is going to hinge on what came before and what will come after rather than the movie on the screen right now. I know people have had that complaint about MCU movies forever but I never really felt that was the case until Far From Home. Maybe that's just me flipping from excited to cynical though and it really was always there.
