Andrew Garfield makes a funny remark about the Avengers in Spider-Man: No Way Home which is really a dig at the MCU.

One of his most humorous bits included a comment about not knowing about the Avengers and comparing them to a band after Holland's wall-crawler talked about being part of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
