Don't get it. Holland and Zendaya (and Cumberbatch) still have great screen presence, but the rest was just clumsy nostalgia-peddling full of giant plot holes and inconsistencies wrapped up with pathetic deus ex story-conveniences.

"They" looked like Spiderman nemesis, pretty sure I saw a rhino. If not, i assume the typical demons that can come through anytime strange uses his magic

Yeah, lots of people saying they saw a guy with a spear (Kraven), a Vemon style monster, a man with tentacles (a different Doc Ock)

I definitely saw Rhino coming through. I haven't watched What if? yet, so I assume that I will need to catch up with that before Dr. Strange 2.

I have no idea where this is comming from, i think the girls with the group didnt even remember the
Dr strange movie and loved this. I tried to forget the terrible spiderman 3 and amazing spiderman movies and was successful until watching clips of them after seeing this. As long as you know of the other spiderman films and Dr strange youre good. Those are just masive easter eggs. Its like asking someone to read comics before going into every marvel movie

I meant for where the story is going, and Multiverse of Madness. I can't believe they tied a cartoon to the movie like that, you could tell in the audience there were people whose mind was blown, and others that were clueless.

And when we get to that story there will be 2-3 lines or a scene to set the table for enthusiasts and newcomes alike to explain what's going on like any other movie that leverages prior content. There's nothing required about it, and the 'cartoon' was always said to be canon to the MCU - characters resurfacing from it are not a surprise.
Even this movie, there was nothing required beforehand. Strange is a wizard w/ magic, they are alternative Spider-men and they are bad guys from other dimensions - it all still holds up just fine. Now someone who's seen everything else has heaps more context, nostalgia, angst, whatever for these characters, and the movie provides the runway for those investments to pay off - but again nothing is or should be required to understand. They established everything that was paid off... Garfield losing his love (and redemption), Toby's loss of Ben and coming back to that with the Goblin fight, etc. It's what good movies do, and is in part why this is so good.

My only real nitpicks
If Aunt May dying is this universe’s version of Uncle Ben dying, it should have been a result of a selfish action of Spider-Man, not because he was going out of his way to help Green Goblin
Venom returning to his universe before ever encountering Spider-Man, even the fact that a spawn/piece was left behind as a setup
Venom returning to his universe before ever encountering Spider-Man, even the fact that a spawn/piece was left behind as a setup
Strange stated it was every person in every multiverse that knew Peter Parker was spiderman.

"Actor Tom Holland says he hopes the future of the Spider-Man franchise would include a more “diverse” background or sexuality, including “a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman” version of the web-slinging super hero."
Tom Holland, the London-born Spider-Man: No Way Home star, 25, told People the time has come for a different face to don the Spider-Man persona, repeating his appeal for change that first came in June when he said he backed a “gay Spider-Man,” adding the Marvel universe needs more racially diverse characters besides “straight white guys.”
'Spider-Man' Star Tom Holland: 'It'd Be Nice to See Something Different' than White, Male Spider-Man
I'm sure he goes to black/brown/yellow countries and calls for the end of black/brown/yellow characters...

i didnt mind the aunt may thing but the symbiote not leaving is a big plot hole. Then again it might have made a reference in the venom movie when it talked about everywhere its been and how Brock has no idea
This kinda covers that loop hole
