Peter Parker has had trouble with money, girls, his job, his aunt, being somewhere on time etc.

That's why Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 are great movies while SMH is an awful movie.

In Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker is struggling in school, his boss is a jerk, his relationship with Mary Jane isn't as great as he wants it to be, and Aunt May is struggling to pay the mortgage. Peter has plenty of problems that most of us have experienced at some time in our lives so we can empathize with Peter and root for Peter to succeed.

But in SMH, Peter Parker has no problems at all. He's doing well in school (he's on the Academic Decathlon Team so he must be getting good grades to be on the team), he doesn't have to get a job, he gets invited to parties and has a date for the Homecoming Dance, and Aunt May gets free meals in restaurants. Everything is going perfect for Peter and Peter is nothing more than a shallow show-off who's only concern is not a jerk boss or poor grades or relationship problems or financial problems but only how to impress Tony Stark. There's nothing to make the audience empthasize with Peter or want to root for Peter to succeed.

It is frankly unbelieveable how much you have to have things in movies spoon fed to you.
It might help if you didn't judge films n the dodgy online copies you watch (oh wait...you did see SMH in the theatres straight away...you know, that time you posted that you went to see it to kill time while your car was repaired...oh wait, my bad, you let slip later you watched it online when t came out)

he doesn't have to get a job,

Doesn't mean he has money...we already know he digs in dumpsters for his tech. He has to ask Aunt May for money to buy a new back pack

he gets invited to parties

only because it was thought ne might bring Spider-Man

has a date for the Homecoming Dance

eventually. Of course you ignore the fact that for the most of the film he is actually too shy and has too low self esteem to actually consider he might have a chance to date the girl he thinks is too good for him

and Aunt May gets free meals in restaurants

She got a ball of sticky rice...to go with the meal she ordered!!!!! They are not exactly surviving on the good will of strangers and getting everything for free.

Oh and you ignore the fact that he is constantly humiliated by the school bully. But of course you did...it wouldn't help your argument. No change there then eh?

In fact, in SMH, Adrian Toomes was a more likable character than Peter Parker and Toomes was the ONLY likable character in SMH. Toomes was only trying to provide for his family and got screwed over by Tony Stark's Damage Control team (which actually pulled out guns and threatened to shoot him).

For a boy who is constantly criticising Marvel characters for any criminal activity and lack of respect for the Government , you've changed your tune.

Toomes was only trying to provide for his family and got screwed over by Tony Stark's Damage Control team

It's actually the Department Of Damage Control...a joint venture involving Tony Stark and THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

(which actually pulled out guns and threatened to shoot him).

After he assaulted a Federal Agent. Wow, this really goes against what you have criticised in the past. Is this a new you? Or just a slip up during one of your usual ill thought out keyboard mashing biased anti MCU posts.
