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.

Hell, he didn't even need a spider sense, that AI constantly told him when danger was coming. He didn't even really need any powers with that high tech suit. If I had that suit, I could be a super hero too, no other abilities needed. Peter being a photographer has always been a pretty big part of the character but you're right, it isn't necessarily required. And yes, he did team up with other heroes many times but he was usually arrogant about it (especially in the beginning) and usually acted like they were all lucky to be in his presence. Here it felt more like he was the Chester to Tony Stark's Spike (Looney Tunes). I guess Michelle isn't actually MJ so I can let that slide but I still think Flash was all wrong. And I didn't mean that Peter should have kicked his ass, I just meant he didn't work at all as a bully. Scrawny nerds aren't bullies, at least not in real life. Aunt May was fine, but she was still a huge departure from her comic book counterpart. She looked and acted nothing like the Aunt May I grew up reading about. That's not really a major problem, but I still feel like I should not be attracted to Aunt May. She was hotter than any of Peter's classmates.

Didn't you walk out of the movie before the 3rd act? He didn't have the AI after the ferry scene. The AI was a device so they can apply him talking to "himself" like in the comics. That was the purpose of it. In the end of the movie, without the AI, he was dodging things that he was not looking at (Vulture's wings). You could not be a superhero because you'd still need Peter's other powers. You forget, the spider-sense is not his main power.

I'd say the only way I'd use J. Jonah is like he is in the PS4 game.

But Peter wasn't trying to team-up with Stark. He was trying to join the Avengers. Stark just happen to be the leader of the Avengers now that half of the team is gone. He's auditioning to be on the team. Also, Stark is more of a sub for Reed Richards. And now that I think about it, He never teamed up with Stark. Stark just kept coming to save his butt because he was screwing up. Then at the end he turns down joining the Avengers because he realizes that's not something he wants.

Even if she turns out to be Mary Jane, she was still playing the role of a girl with a crappy family life trying to hide it. She just didn't play the bubbly party girl as a mask. And there were quite a few times when that mask slipped off her.

Scrawny nerds aren't bullies? Have you never seen anything with spoiled, arrogant, rich kids that take the piss out of others they see as below them? Especially a kid that is kinda poor.

How is that her problem you aren't attracted to Sally Field and/or Rosemary Harris?
