Welp I watched Homecoming. Gotta say, this has to be my favorite on-screen portrayal of Peter Parker. The Vulture was incredible, the cast was neat, and it felt like an issue out of a comic book!

As for the Uncle Ben origin controversy in this topic... Just because we never see Uncle Ben doesn't mean he still didn't learn "with great power comes great responsibility." Why else would he start stopping crimes before Civil War? This movie focused on the growth of Spider-Man proving himself to become a real superhero. By the end of the film, it felt like Peter Parker was deserving to be called such.

As for this portrayal of Spider-Man, they got nearly everything right. Him leaving notes, making fun of goons, his stamina and perseverance (that rubble scene was definitely a version of Amazing Spider-Man #33 and I loved it), his quips, his dealing of peer pressure, and him discovering that he can definitely be a hero no matter the costume. Only thing I didn't like was that he barely punched at all. That would have made his fights much easier.

It's hard to decide which is better, so I'm gonna tie Spider-Man 2 and Homecoming.
