Fun facts: I met the man of the hour Michael Giacchino, J.J. Abrams, and Danny DeVito, out of sheer random luck got a video/photo moment with them after the show as I was exiting. Also, this is my second time attending a Royal Albert Hall event, the first being Kylie Minogue.

The power of music in this orchestra piece rings true in the comments section, it was quite moving for me, and how it felt witnessing and hearing greatness unfold live in person. Spider-Man and Doctor Strange are two of my favourite fictional characters, in part thanks to the Spider-Man: The Animated Series. (1994 TV series) Culminating in Spider-Man No Way Home to see both characters adapted to live-action in a cinematic universe is a breathtaking spectacle in the last 19 years since 2002. Also I myself made a brief cameo at the end of this video recording. Device used to capture memories is the Samsung Galaxy S8. 😃
