I don’t understand what that means.
They mean that the three Spider-Man films have effectively become an origin trilogy for the Spider-Man that exists at the end of the movie - no more Avenger buddies, no more Stark tech, more of a solo friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
'It ends at the beginning' is a bit of a confusing way of expressing that - and I don't think this was the intention of the trilogy when they set out - but I do think where No Way Home left things will make for a more interesting premise for Spider-Man 4. The MCU has done enormous galactic stakes to death - they can't beat Thanos destroying half of all life in the universe (as Ant-Man 3 showed - it just doesn't work). The only way to progress is to go back to a small scale and more personal stories and stakes, and Spider-Man 4 will be a great opportunity to get that right.
The phrasing is terrible. After reading the article, what they mean is that the ending was a full reset that lets them start over.
They consider the Tom Holland trilogy (so far) an “extended origin story”.
Took them 5 movies with Tom Holland Spider-Man but they finally have the origin done lol.
Just you wait until we get to the prequel septology dedicated to Uncle Ben getting shot.
