I once saw part of what I think was a TV show (Little House on the Prairie, maybe?), and it featured a scene where a girl in school has drawn a picture of her teacher. The teacher sees the picture and, offended by it, asks who drew it. The boy sitting next to the girl stood up and claimed he did it, and as punishment, the teacher whipped him with a stick. Anyone know what this was from?

Trivia: Peter disrupts Strange's spell 5 times, resulting in the same number of multiversal villains appearing in this universe. Strange initially erroneously states that Peter disrupted the spell 6 times. This is likely a reference to the supervillain team that Spider-Man frequently faces in the comics: the Sinister Six.

Trivia: SPOILER: Near the end of the film when the fabric of reality has been torn open and Spider-Man villains from other universes are preparing to enter, one of the silhouettes shown is of the Rhino in a more comic book accurate outfit than the mechsuit he donned in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. A silhouette of Scorpion is also visible just before Rhino.

Trivia: SPOILER: Prior to the film's release, unconfirmed reports stated Charlie Cox would appear in the film as Matt Murdock, reprising his role from the Netflix series Daredevil. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige practically spilled the beans days before the release, stating that if the day ever came that Marvel would use the Daredevil character in their films, Cox would be playing him. The episode of Hawkeye that premiered the day before this film's release all but confirmed this, as Vincent D'Onofrio was revealed to be reprising his role as Kingpin from the aforementioned Daredevil series.
