There is one thing about Homecoming that annoys me. And it's Peter's friends/the quiz social group. Flash Thompson is a jock... who's on the quiz team? Err what? Flash isn't the cool bullying jock. He's a nerd. Liz and co find Peter outside of his room and invites him to the pool, Peter doesn't go because of Spider-man reasons, they don't invite Ned. Not once do they go and find Peter and Ned. The morning after, Peter doesn't show up to the 'tour' they are going on or the quiz, the teacher isn't concerned. "My friends call me MJ". Good for you but where is Mary Jane Watson? Because she's not in this film. Edit: Oh and there has not been a Spider-man film yet where Peter Parker's identify as Spider-man has been kept a secret. Hardly anyone ever knows Peter is Spider-man in the comics and those that do know, he either told or had to know, very few villain find out and Aunt May only like 15 years ago. Some of the 'conversations' he and Ned have during school stuff would have been heard by other students. |
that is the nature of Adaptation, some things are going to change when making a different version of the same thing.
Flash not being a jock but being an asshole smart guy makes perfect sense in a modern world.
Peter is nerdy and awkward, but he's a good looking kid so it'd make sense that Liz might like him.
Aunt May finding out works, keeping a secret identity is HARD in the modern world (though it's dumb that he didn't see her there)
Peter is a kid, kids like to dream; even if he straight up said in front of his class "I'm spiderman", nobody would believe him without a demonstration. Hell, he can't even get people to believe he's MET Tony Stark, let alone that he himself is Spiderman. Im sure others and the teachers heard ned going on about it but didn't pay it much mind.
I used to have the same complaints that you have until I put some thought into it. :P
