Let's not play the assumption game here; let's argue like men shall we? I understand why he was crying and feeling miserable but the dialogue and acting kinda ruins what depth there was.

FYI I loved Spider Man 2 equally with Homecoming and liked Homecoming slightly more than Spider Man I'm not a biased fanboy, it's just that Homecoming was far more faithful to the comics than any previous Spidey movie so as a person who grew up reading Spider Man comics it was more enjoyable than Raimi's Spider Man movies despite it being equal in quality to the second one.

I don't think Homecoming was closer to the comics than the previous films. I would say that Tom Holland has the potential to be the best and most comic accurate Spidey but everything else in the film was pretty far off. So many important missing elements. No spider sense. No J. Jonah Jameson. No photography hobby. No longer being an independent loner whose secret identity wasn't known by anyone. No making his own costume and NOT having a Stark tech suit that never shuts up.

The supporting cast in this movie could not have been more different from their comic book counterparts. "MJ" goes from a fun and energetic redhead bombshell to a whiny emo outcast. Flash in the comics was an arrogant muscular jock and football hero, not a nerdy weirdo with a potty mouth. He's supposed to be the antithesis of Peter Parker, his polar opposite. Here they were so similar, I don't even see why they were enemies. Sure he had more screentime and a bigger role to play than the Flash in previous Spidey films but that's not really relevant. If the bullies in my school looked and acted like the Homecoming version of Flash, I would have kicked their asses. Aunt May goes from an elderly and nurturing woman who somewhat dependent on Peter to a young fox who could easily find some wealthy man to take care of her. Quite a departure there.

i enjoyed this movie for the most part, and Holland and Keaton were both great, but it's pretty far off from the source material.

Not having a visual/audio cue for the spider-sense doesn't mean he didn't have a spider-sense. He was dodging things that he was not looking at. Peter doesn't have to be a photographer. Not having J. Jonah means nothing. You do know that Spider-man starred in a book called Marvel Team-up where he teamed-up with other superheroes for years. He was even a member of a bunch of teams. And he did make his own costume. Stark just gave him an upgrade.

Well, he also didn't know MJ in high school. And if you try the "he did in Ultimate Spider-man approach" she wasn't the fun and energetic bombshell in that. Also, the Homecoming version wasn't emo. Also, also, "fun and energetic" MJ was a mask for her crappy home life. Homecoming MJ was just a normal teenage girl that liked using sarcasm. Especially with the boy she liked.

The biggest difference between you and Peter Parker is that he's Spider-man. He wouldn't kick the asses of bullies.

Aunt May is not young in Homecoming. She's in her early 50s. About the right age for aunt of a 15 year old.

They did a good job with her.
