Peter was originally on the Academic Decathlon Team. He quit the team. Then he re-joined the team just in time for the trip to D.C. And he missed the competition because (as DHS and FBI would see it), <--Don't need this comma here he gave an explosive device to his best friend Ned to take into the Washington Monument to blow up the elevator so obviously Peter wouldn't want to show up for the team's trip to the Washington Monument when Peter knows that his best friend is going to blow up the elevator with an explosive device that Peter gave him. That's another reason why SMH is such a badly-written movie. DHS and FBI would've detained Ned for questioning until Ned gave up Peter as the guy to gave him the explosive device. Then DHS and FBI would've gotten a warrant to search Aunt May's apartment.

That only means the jerk boss thing doesn't apply. But high school kids can have relationship problems like college students do. In Spider-Man 2, Petre's relationship with Mary Jane wasn't as close as what he wanted. In SMH, Peter not only gets invited to parties but also has a date to the Homecoming Dance with the girl he has a crush on. And in Spider-Man 2, Peter was struggling to keep up his grades in school. In SMH, Peter is doing so well in school that he's on the Academic Decathlon Team. And in Spider-Man 2, Aunt May is struggling to pay the mortgage, which makes Peter worried and concerned as well. But in SMH, Aunt May gets free meals in restaurants.

So my point still stands. Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2 has many of the same problems that most of us have experience at 1 time or another so we can empathize with Peter and root for Peter to succeed. Nut in SMH, life is perfect for Peter. No relationship problems. No problems trying to keep up in school. No financial problems for Aunt May. Life is perfect and Peter's only concern is how to impress Tony Stark. There's nothing hard about Peter's life in SMH and nothing that makes us want to root for Peter to succeed in SMH.

So you are saying he was on the team and had to quit it and then rejoin the team to get to D.C. Is that what you are saying? Because that is what I said.

So you admit that Peter was on the team, which means that he had to be doing well in school and getting good grades, just like I said in my previous post.

That Peter wasn't on the team and he took someone else's spot to get to D.C. Was he on the team when they were about to go to D.C.? Nope. The coach wanted him back on the team

1st, he was on the team before he quit so he had to be doing well in school and getting good grades, just like I said in my previous post.

2nd, he wasn't on the team when the trip to D.C. was planned because he quit the team, but the coach put him back on the team for the trip to D.C., which again means that he had to be doing well in school and getting good grades to be put back on the team, just like I said in my previous post.

So you've just confirmed my point that Peter in SMH is doing well in school and getting good grades and doesn't have problems keeping up in school like Peter in Spider-Man 2 did.

calling it an explosive device is like calling a microwave an explosive device. It can explode is all.

A microwave doesn't cause an elevator to drop like that explosive device did. That explosive device blew out the elevator cable and caused the elevator to drop so calling it an explosive device is an accurate description.

So Peter has to be a loser for you to root for him?

Not a loser. But Peter in Spider-Man 2 is definitely an underdog who has been dealt a bad hand and most people can empathize with that and root for an underdog like Peter to succeed.

Unlike Peter in SMH, who has been dealt a great hand. No problem keeping up in school. Gets invited to parties and has a date for the Homecoming Dance with a girl he's been crushing on. And Aunt May gets free meals in restaurants so Peter doesn't have to worry about how Aunt May is going to pay the mortgage/rent. SMH Peter is nothing but a shallow show-off whose only concern is trying to kiss Tony Stark's ass. There's nothing hard about Peter's life in SMH and nothing that makes us want to root for Peter to succeed in SMH.
