Peter thinks he's ready to be a fully-fledged Avenger, and despite protestations from Stark, he sets out to try and stop a gang of petty thieves from selling advanced weaponry salvaged from the various alien and robotic calamities that have befallen Earth in recent years. Tony Stark, true to character, is an absent dad.īut Peter-played by the excellent Tom Holland-is exhilarated after his brief adventure fighting against the likes of Captain America in Civil War, and wants more than just the middling thrill of stopping an occasional bicycle thief in Queens. Of course, he offers this advice via a remote controlled Iron Man suit while thousands of miles away. "Be a friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man," Stark tells Peter. Stark kits Peter out with a high tech costume, assigns him a nanny in the form of Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), and tells him to keep his nose out of trouble. In this case, that titan is none other than Tony Stark/Iron Man (played again with the same roguish charm by Robert Downey Jr), who reluctantly takes Peter as a protege of sorts after the events of Civil War. Homecoming firmly keeps Spider-Man as one of the little guys, looking up as the titans fly overhead. While other superheroes were billionaires, aliens, or gods, Peter Parker was mundane just a good kid trying to make the best of what he had. When he wasn't fighting super villains as Spider-Man, Peter Parker was dealing with the same issues many of us faced: money problems, job security, family concerns, love, and rejection. After all, Spider-Man became of one the comic book world's biggest names not because he was the most powerful or exotic, but because he was-outside of the whole irradiated spider bite thing-just a normal guy. But Spider-Man: Homecoming gets both sides of the character right.ĭoing both sides of the character justice goes a long way in Homecoming.
SPIDER MAN HOMECOMING SERIES
The Tobey Maguire-led films made Spider-Man too morose and mopey, while Andrew Garfield's take on Peter Parker in the Amazing series made the normally awkward character too hipster cool.
SPIDER MAN HOMECOMING MOVIE
Most importantly, Homecoming also fixes what the previous Spidey movie series fumbled: the characterisation of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Not only does it refer to its setting, which puts Peter Parker back in high school, but it also cleverly alludes to the fact that, finally, Spider-Man is back with his Marvel superhero pals. Homecoming, then, is a fitting subtitle for this latest Spider-Man film. It was always strange to have Marvel's marquee character not exist within its own cinematic universe imagine if Batman didn't live in the same world as Superman, let alone have moms with the same first name. Outside of his cameo in last year's Captain America: Civil War, the cinematic incarnations of Spider-Man have always lived in a bubble, separate from the explosive adventures of Iron Man or the bruising exploits of the Hulk. For a variety of reasons too complex, legal, and boring to recount, Spider-Man: Homecoming-while being the fifth film to feature the character in the last 15 years-is the first that actually places the webslinger in the same world as his Marvel counterparts.
