00:00Why is Ned the only one who remembers Peter Parker?
00:02At the end of Spider-Man, No Way Home,
00:04after Doctor Strange casts the forgetting spell,
00:06everyone completely loses their memories related to Peter Parker.
00:09Everyone only remembers Spider-Man.
00:10Not even MJ, who was Peter's girlfriend, managed to escape the spell.
00:13But, of all the people who were affected,
00:15Ned seems to be an exception.
00:16The spell erases his conscious memories,
00:18but apparently he didn't forget Peter 100%.
00:20Besides continuing to admire Spider-Man,
00:22he came very close to figuring out who was behind the mask.
00:25But what makes Ned different from everyone else?
00:27And the answer may lie in his natural talent for magic.
00:29In Spider-Man, No Way Home,
00:31we see that he can open portals very easily.
00:33And the continuous use of the ring
00:34may have left magical energy throughout his body.
00:36And at the end of the movie,
00:37when Peter and Ned reunite
00:38and do the secret handshake that only the two of them know,
00:41that was the final trigger for him to finally remember Peter Parker.
00:44Or he found out he's Spider-Man
00:46because MJ said Peter's name while he was in the suit,
00:48and Ned overheard it.
00:51Peter.
