SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME – Official Teaser Trailer January 1, 2022 bizadmin Plot After Quentin Beck frames Peter Parker for murder and reveals his identity as Spider-Man, Parker, his girlfriend M.J., best friend Ned Leeds, and aunt May are interrogated by the Department of Damage Control. Lawyer Matt Murdock gets Parker’s charges dropped, but the group grapples with negative publicity. After Parker, MJ, and Ned’s M.I.T. applications are rejected, Parker goes to the New York Sanctum to ask Stephen Strange for help. Strange suggests a spell that would make people forget Parker is Spider-Man. Parker repeatedly requests alterations to let his loved ones retain their memories, which corrupts the spell, but Strange contains it and makes Parker leave. Parker goes to convince an M.I.T. administrator to reconsider M.J. and Ned’s applications but is suddenly attacked by Otto Octavius. Octavius rips Parker’s nanotechnology from his Iron Spider suit, which bonds with his mechanical tentacles and allows Parker to disable them. As Norman Osborn arrives and attacks, Strange teleports Parker back to the Sanctum and locks Octavius in a cell next to Curt Connors. Strange explains that the corrupted spell summoned people from other universes who know Spider-Man’s identity and orders Parker to find and capture them. As Parker captures Max Dillon and Flint Marko, Osborn reclaims himself from his split Green Goblin personality. He goes to a F.E.A.S.T. building, where May comforts him before Parker retrieves him. While discussing their battles with Spider-Man, Osborn, Octavius, and Dillon realize they were pulled from their universes just before their deaths. Strange prepares a spell that will send the villains back to their respective universes, but Parker argues that they should first cure the villains’ powers and insanity to prevent their deaths upon their return. Parker steals the boxed spell, traps Strange in the Mirror Dimension, and, with May, takes the villains to Happy Hogan’s apartment. He cures Octavius, but Osborn’s Goblin persona takes control and convinces the uncured villains to betray Parker. As Dillon, Marko, and Connors escape, Osborn injures May, who tells Parker that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility” before dying. Ned discovers he can create portals using Strange’s sling ring, which he and M.J. use to locate Parker. They instead find “Peter-Two” and “Peter-Three,” alternate versions of Parker, who were summoned by Strange’s spell. Ned and M.J. find Parker and comfort him while the other Parkers share stories of losing loved ones; they encourage Parker to fight in May’s honor. The three Parkers develop cures for the villains and lure Dillon, Marko, and Connors to the Statue of Liberty. Peter-Two and Parker cure Marko and Connors, while Octavius arrives to help and heal Dillon. Ned frees Strange from the Mirror Dimension, but Osborn arrives and destroys the boxed spell, breaking the barrier separating universes. While Strange maintains the wall, an enraged Parker attempts to kill Osborn, but Peter-Two stops him. Peter-Three and Parker inject Osborn with his cure, restoring his sanity. Parker realizes that the only way to protect the multiverse is to erase himself from everyone’s memory and requests that Strange do so while promising M.J. and Ned that he will find them again. The spell is cast, and everyone returns to their respective universe—including Eddie Brock, who leaves behind a piece of the Venom symbiote. Two weeks later, Parker visits M.J. and Leeds to reintroduce himself but decides against it. While mourning at May’s grave, he has a conversation with Hogan and is inspired to carry on, making a new suit and resuming his vigilantism.

[Videos] TEAMSEAS Donation Campaign to Clean up the Beaches, Rivers and Oceans. October 30, 2021 bizadmin Join us in this #TEAMSEAS campaign to raise funds to clean up the oceans, rivers, and beaches. Now, WHAT IS #TEAMSEAS? Basically, #TeamSeas is a global campaign, to raise $30M, to remove 30M pounds of plastic, and trash from our ocean, rivers, and beaches. It’s also the second wave of the largest creator-led fundraising campaign, to ever hit the internet. For the record, we launched #TeamTrees in 2019, with a goal of raising $20M, to plant 20M trees, and we smashed it—raising over $23M, and generating more than 1 billion video views. Even two years later, TeamTrees.org, is still receiving donations, for planting 2,600 trees every day. We’re back again, to rally the internet’s passion, and imagination, in support of the ocean, and all of us. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DTan (@philin135) WHO IS INVOLVED IN #TEAMSEAS? Just like the original campaign that inspired it, #TeamSeas is being led by Mark (Rober), Jimmy (MrBeast), and Campaign Director, Matt Fitzgerald (@fitz350). WHICH NONPROFIT CHARITIES ARE WE PARTNERING WITH? For #TeamSeas, we’ve partnered up with Ocean Conservancy, and The Ocean Cleanup. All donations to #TeamSeas will be split by the two charities, in equal proportions, 50/50. @sulintan135TEAMSEAS – time to clean up the rivers, beaches, and the seas ##TeamSeas♬ original sound – Su Lin Tan WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OUR WATER? Our oceans, rivers, and beaches are full of plastic trash. It’s estimated that there are 200 million tons of plastic already circulating in marine environments, with an estimated 11 million tons, entering the ocean EVERY YEAR. Pollution from bottles, bags, straws, and abandoned fishing gear, is a health crisis for our entire planet. So, we’re going to remove the equivalent of 85 football fields, covered a foot deep in trash. WHY OCEANS, RIVERS, AND BEACHES? The ocean and the life within it, are incredibly important. Aside from the water we drink, the ocean produces half the air we breathe every day. So, it’s a no-brainer that keeping it clean, and healthy is critical to our survival. But keeping our rivers, and beaches free of trash pollution is just as important. Rivers contribute up to 20% of ocean plastic pollution overall. They are the arteries, that carry waste from land to the ocean, and it’s important we cut off that problem upstream. And trash on beaches can, inevitably make its way, into the water, and harm coastal habitats, which is why, we are focusing our attention on, cleaning up all three. HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO CLEAN UP ALL THIS TRASH? We’re glad you asked. Because 30 million pounds, is A LOT of trash. We’re dividing our work among three points, of intervention: beaches, rivers, and oceans. So, how can you help? Simply go to TeamSeas.org to buy your Merch. @sulintan135TeamSeas – Time to clean up the rivers, beaches and the seas. ##TeamSeas♬ Sea Songs – Positive Music
