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. |
I’ll dive more into this when I watch and review the film, but I also had issues with the other kids around Peter. None of them felt particularly real. Spider-Man is probably the superhero I have read the most source material for (other than Batman) and so none of the on screen incarnations feel particularly “right” to me. I did love that this kept him in high school as he was a teenager when he started. And it seems they have no rush to have him graduate any time soon. Anyway, more later
