Spider-Man 2 Theory Completely Changes The Movie"s Ending 14 Years After Its Release

Summary

• The ending of Spider-Man 2, where Doc Ock has a change of heart, has always been a bit abrupt, but Spider-Man: No Way Home provides a satisfying explanation for it.
• In No Way Home, Peter Parker rehabilitates the villains and undoes the corrupting effect of Ock's tentacles, returning him to his previous mental state.
• Despite Ock's death, his arc remains heroic as he sacrificed himself to ensure the survival of Peter Parker and continues to be one of the best superhero movie villains.

Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic superhero movie sequel, but a new theory satisfyingly explains a confusing element of its ending sequence. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy may not have solely paved the way for the resurgence of superhero movies and the eventual success of the MCU, but it certainly played a big role. Spider-Man 2 improved on its predecessor in several ways, including the introduction of Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus. A scientist corrupted by his mechanical arms, Ock finally sees the error of his ways moments before death, returning to a somewhat paternal figure for Peter.
While an effective sequence, Ock's change of heart before death does happen a bit abruptly. It's never been a big enough problem to ruin one of the best comic book movies of all time, but on repeat viewings, it's unclear why Otto Octavius snaps out of it when he does. Now, a modern Spider-Man movie may have provided an answer.
