Shadowing Practice: SPIDER-MAN: No Way Home Deleted Scenes BREAKDOWN - Memory Spell Finally EXPLAINED - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creating lesson...
1
Hey, welcome back to Screen Crush.
2
I'm Ryan Airy, and Spider-Man No Way Home More Fun Stuff Edition has arrived in theaters.
3
So we're going to break down the 11 minutes of extra footage that we got in this extended cut of the film,
4
including a brand new post-credits scene answering a major question of how the Forget Peter Parker spell works.
5
Oh, this is awesome.
6
Did we get to see the deleted scene of Tobey Maguire fighting Green Goblin?
7
No. Oh, okay.
8
Well, what about Doctor strange catching the lizard in the sewer.
9
No. Oh, well, you gotta have more time with a really good lawyer, Matt Murdock, right?
10
Uh, yeah, about 15 seconds.
11
Well, you better get to telling me exactly what was in those 11 minutes, because so far, I am not impressed.
12
Yes, sir.
13
We open with Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire thanking the fans for all their love and support.
14
Now, remember this scene in No Way Home?
15
I love you guys.
16
Thank you.
17
Well, Tom and Toby finally tell Andrew that they love him too.
18
All right, that's nice.
19
It is, right?
20
So the movie begins, and the first bit of additional footage
21
that we see takes place when Peter is being questioned by the DODC following his arrest.
22
Department of Damage Control, we have a warrant for the arrest of Peter Parker.
23
We see the agents question Peter about the boat incident in Spider-Man Homecoming, as well as the Washington Monument.
24
Then they question him about the night monkey.
25
Uh, it's Night Monkey.
26
Night Monkey?
27
When Aunt May is being interrogated, we get an additional bit of dialogue revealing that she has participated in protests in her past.
28
Likely, peaceful protests advocating for progressive causes.
29
After all, she does volunteer with FEAST, which is an organization that helps people in need.
30
We then get the deleted scene that featured Tom Holland's brother, Harry Holland, being webbed up by Spider-Man.
31
This scene also includes bystanders arguing over whether or not Spider-Man should still even be fighting crime.
32
One woman says that he can't do this anymore because he is a child, to which another person replies, have some respect, he's not a child, he's 14.
33
Peter says, I'm not 14, which is a reference to this scene in Spider-Man Homecoming.
34
Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid.
35
I'm 15.
36
No, this is where you zip it!
37
And then other bystanders continue to bicker.
38
One says, I had a job when I was 14, my son's 14, he's a moron, he can't even rent a car.
39
He doesn't need a car, he's been to space.
40
Which is a reference to this scene in Far From Home.
41
I mean, I'm just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, sir.
42
Bitch, please, you've been to space.
43
At the end of this encounter, we see someone run up and throw green paint on Spider-Man, which we did see in the original cut of the film,
44
except it was included as cell phone footage in a Daily Bugle newscast.
45
In this cut of the film, we get an additional newscast where J.
46
Jonah Jameson complains that Peter Parker is being allowed to attend school thanks to, quote, the city council and Mayor Dingus.
47
Now, I'm not sure who the MCU's New York City mayor is, but it's not surprising that the conspiracy theorist J.
48
Jonah Jameson does not like them.
49
He could even be laying the ground for his own mate, Oriole Run, like he does in the comics.
50
When Peter is walking into school for the first time since his identity was revealed, we hear a kid say, He was my lab partner.
51
Did anyone know that?
52
I went back and watched all of Peter's classroom scenes in Spider-Man Homecoming, and I really can't find this kid anywhere.
53
So we think he's a liar.
54
Liar!
55
Next, we get a scene with Peter in gym class where his pro-mysterio coach
56
and the rest of the gym class are chanting for Peter to climb the wall.
57
And when he does, the room goes silent.
58
And then we hear Hannibal Buress say, look at that sticky bastard go.
59
And then another student calls him a freak.
60
Jesus Parker, you are a freak.
61
We then see Peter walking down the hall and a young woman exclaim that he is so cute.
62
This character looks a lot like Jessica Campbell from the comics, who had a huge crush on Peter Parker.
63
Jessica Campbell, of course, went on to become the popular Marvel character, Jessica Jones.
64
Her parents were killed in an explosion and she was adopted by a family with the last name Jones.
65
But hey, but that's not Kristen Ritter.
66
She plays Jessica Jones.
67
Bro, it's just an Easter egg.
68
I'm not saying she's Jessica Jones.
69
This is the dumbest.
70
Then we get this really cringy series of interviews conducted by Betty Brandt with Peter's teachers and friends regarding him being Spider-Man.
71
It has some funny moments, like when Mr. Harrington says that Peter is like his son and his brother.
72
And we hear Flash claim that the name Spider-Man was his idea.
73
In your book you revealed that the name Spider-Man was your idea.
74
Were there any others that you tossed around before settling on Spider-Man?
75
Yeah, there were a few.
76
You know, Arachno Kid, The Bitten.
77
Jump forward a few scenes and we get an extended version of MJ, Ned, and Peter working in the Undercroft of the Sanctum.
78
The Undercroft?
79
In this extended scene, the song Monster Mash is playing.
80
Then you can mash.
81
Then you can monster mash.
82
The Monster Mash.
83
We also see a diorama of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
84
You mean like a dollhouse?
85
No, it's a diorama.
86
It's a dollhouse.
87
Anyways, in the big round window of the Sanctum Sanctorum dollhouse, you can see a silhouette of Doctor Strange walk up, stand there for a moment, and then walk away.
88
So maybe Doctor Strange was using this window to check in on Peter and his friends while they were working.
89
Meaning that the window in the dollhouse can be connected to the window in the Sanctum via magic.
90
Magic's real here too?
91
And then we get a deleted scene with a character named Walter Burke.
92
Mr. Burke, you're saying you saw Spider-Man with your own eyes, destroying multiple power lines?
93
So, this seems like it's a reference to this Walter Burke from the comics.
94
He only appeared in one issue of Tales of Suspense, a line of comics published by Marvel back in the 60s.
95
We also got this deleted scene with Peter, May, and the villains riding up the elevator to Happy's apartment.
96
And then when they're needing to be let into the apartment, we cut to Happy with really good lawyer Matt Murdock being questioned about his involvement with the missing Stark technology.
97
Happy gets an alert on his phone to unlock the apartment.
98
And then we see Matt lean over to Happy and tell him to stop sweating.
99
And Happy asks Matt how he does that.
100
Oh yeah, because it's Daredevil.
101
That's right.
102
Talk about Turbie and Andrew.
103
Yes, we did get an extended version of the awesome bonding scene between Peter 1, 2, and 3 as they're waiting for the villains to arrive at the Statue of Liberty.
104
We hear Andrew say, we should do this again, like I'll hang out, and that he'll be sure to grab Toby's number at the end of the battle.
105
Talk about a long-distance car.
106
We then get a longer version of the discussion about Toby's organic webbing, which ends with Andrew saying that he wants to see the holes.
107
Gross.
108
We then hear them start discussing the different villains they fought, and when Tom mentions fighting aliens in space,
109
Toby says, like, I'm always simultaneously completely stunned by the fantastical nature of these things.
110
And Andrew says, it's like just another Monday.
111
We then hear Toby say that Andrew fighting a Russian guy in a rhinoceros machine was cool,
112
to which Andrew starts to reply that it's not as cool as it sounds. And that was it.
113
Or this post-credits scene better be amazing.
114
Oh, it is.
115
And the reason The reason it's so amazing is
116
because it answers some of our biggest questions about the Forget Peter Parker spell.
117
One of those questions being, did the spell remove Peter Parker from videos and photographs?
118
And the answer is, kind of.
119
We see an end of year video from Betty Brant recapping her and her classmates time at Midtown High.
120
In these pictures and videos, you'll see a few that do feature Peter Parker, such as this picture of the group from Spider-Man Far From Home when they all went to Europe.
121
But conveniently, there's a bird flying right in front of Peter's face.
122
There's also this video of Peter and Ned talking in the hallway.
123
Ned's face is visible, but all we see is the back of Peter's head.
124
So this tells us that no, Peter Parker was not physically removed from the pictures and videos, but instead the spell is making everyone actively avoid the existence of Peter Parker.
125
Not only do they not remember him, but likely when they see him in pictures or videos, the spell makes them not question who that is.
126
The spell seemingly made Betty Brant choosing pictures and videos that didn't feature Peter's face, thus making it easier for people to continue to not know or question who he is.
127
The spell also seemingly makes it to where they don't ask themselves, hey, who's that guy I've got my arm around in Europe?
128
Who's that guy I'm talking to in the hallway?
129
The spell likely makes it to where thinking of Peter Parker is essentially forbidden.
130
It is forbidden.
131
Another thing I noticed is that in a lot of these pictures and videos, you'll see that Peter is not in them.
132
That's not because the spell removed him.
133
It's because he wasn't there.
134
He never got to have his high school experience because he was off being Spider-Man.
135
His trip to DC, school dances, high school parties, his class trip to MoMA, his summer trip to Europe, He was absent for so much of it because he was out saving the world.
136
That's so sad.
137
I know.
138
I'll never forget you.
139
Aw, thanks, buddy.
140
Don't mention it, Brian.
141
My name's Ryan.
142
Scared it.
143
Can somebody get this guy out of here?
144
You.
145
All right, now look, this is not the better version of the film.
146
It definitely needs tightening, and the theatrical release trimmed out some unnecessary bits and pieces
147
that made the film end up flowing a lot better without them.
148
So, there's everything we found in the extended version of Spider-Man No Way Home.
149
Let us know if we missed anything, and also let us know if you prefer this version of the film.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?

If you want to boost your English speaking skills while diving into fun pop culture, this video is perfect! The lively, conversational tone—like chatting with a friend about a movie—makes it ideal for shadowing technique practice. You’ll mimic natural pacing, casual expressions, and even playful banter, which helps you sound more fluent in real-life conversations. Plus, the mix of storytelling and analysis gives you context for new words, so you’ll remember them faster. Whether you’re a Spider-Man fan or just love learning through engaging content, this video turns practice into an adventure!

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Let’s break down key phrases to level up your speech:

  • “Did we get to see the deleted scene…”: The structure “did we get to [verb]” is great for asking about opportunities or outcomes. Use it to sound natural in casual questions, like “Did you get to try the new café?”
  • “Likely, peaceful protests advocating for progressive causes”: “Likely” at the start of a sentence softens a guess. Pair it with “advocating for” to talk about supporting ideas, e.g., “Likely, she’s advocating for better public transit.”
  • “which is a reference to this scene…”: “Which is a reference to” connects ideas and shows you’re making a connection. Use it to explain links, like “That song, which is a reference to the 90s, is super catchy.”

Common Pronunciation Traps

Watch out for these tricky words to nail your English pronunciation:

  • “Interrogated”: Break it down: in-TER-uh-gay-ted. Don’t rush the “ter” sound—stress it to avoid mixing it up with “interviewed.”
  • “Bystanders”: Focus on the “by” (like “buy”) and “standers” (STAN-ders). Avoid saying “by-STAN-ders”—the stress is on the first syllable.
  • “Conspiracy”: It’s con-SPI-ruh-see, not con-SPIR-uh-see. The “pi” sound is short, like “pin,” to keep it smooth.

Practice shadowspeak by pausing the video and repeating these lines. You’ll notice your fluency and pronunciation improve in no time—no spider-powers required!

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
