Full Reaction to Spider-Man: Homecoming - First Time Watching

You didn't notice, but on the principal's desk was what looked like a picture of himself in a soldier's uniform. This is supposed to be his grandfather who served with Captain America during WW2. In reality of course they look alike because it's the same actor in both this movie and First Avenger.

TOP SPIDER POINTS: Number 1, I kind of always appreciated the organic web-spinning ability more. Having them be handmade projectile devices was meant to show Peter’s ingenuity and technical skills, sure. Deep down I’m just always going to see organic web shooting as more of an appropriate sci-fi spider ability. Number 2, adorable rendition of Spider-Ham--err, Pig. I was dancing along to it. Number 3, why the craving for lettuce? I’m chalking that up to your secret hamster alter-ego. Number 4, wanting others to be themselves. Yus, that is most delightfully wonderful of you. Number 5, feeling concern for Peter’s safety was totally expected, and every bit as darling as I knew it would be. ^ _ ^ Number 6, referencing the Spinel. –Good lord Duaffy, as if we couldn’t love you even more! Number 7, well… there really is nothing stopping adults nowadays from still enjoying the dolls, games, cars, playing outdoors. Enjoying youth is important, it is wonderful and necessary, agreed. But we really are living in a such a remarkable time when as adults we can still partake in so many things we always loved growing up, without judgments or opposition. It might not be the same, but it isn’t meant to be. What matters is still finding some joy and appreciation in how we live our lives. Finally number 8, I like that they made MJ more of an introvert. Somehow it just feels more realistic and timely considering the current era. Not sure why I opted to list my favorite points out individually like that, but I ended up running with it and figured eight legs on a spider? Eight points to spotlight. I think it’s quite in keeping with Peter Parker’s character, which incidentally I never ever liked. Not in the comics, and not in the cartoons I grew up with. Toby Maguire in the original Spider-Man movies was the first iteration of the character that I actually enjoyed, and Tom Holland I feel does a terrific job portraying him in the MCU. His attitude and energy truly make this version very likeable. Well now I had better pick up some good strong liquor because things are about to get metal next with “Thor: Ragnarok.”
