>>104813108I understand where you're coming from that Homecoming can be seen as doing too much of a pivot on the Spiderman tone, but I for one enjoyed a Spiderman movie that wasn't bogged down by all the baggage. No Uncle Ben, no land lords, no pizzas to deliver, no abusive fathers next door, no getting cucked by James Franco, no Jay Jonah Jameson screaming at you. And going back to Uncle Ben, his whole motto is pretty evident to any functional, nonfelonious member of society. Responsibility is a necessary life skill for anyone, powerful or not. It's trite. If we can fit Spiderman in the MCU but we have to cut the melodrama in the process, I say fine.
>>104813108>MCU's Spider-Man cinematic introduction was a story primarily concerned with the character's desire for recognition and validation>the stakes in Homecoming are dilluted and consequences brushed awaySee the reason why he wants recognition is because the stakes are being brushed away by Tony Stark and the rest of the Avengers.
Peter is trying to tell that that alien tech is endangering people and he feels ignored. He sees it happening. He sees what it did to Mr. del Mar's shop. He's blowing the whistle, but it's falling on deaf ears, so yes he wants to be heard. Yes he wants validation. And honestly, recognition and validation is important to the new generation of Spiderman fan. 30 year old zoomers remember a time before the internet, but kids today don't. And the fact that there's all these old ass baby boomers hanging around, clinging to life, taking up space and resources and political positions, and the whole time you're pointing and all the problems of the worlds, you're blowing the whistle on white collar crimes, and sex crimes, and environmental crimes and it all falls on deaf ears.
Maybe they dropped the whole, "With great power comes great responsibility," schtick because if you look at those in power IRL, they don't seem to be very responsible with it.
