HULK REALLY LIKED SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING. BUT THEMATICALLY, ITS SAYING SOMETHING WEIRD UNDER ITS LIP SERVICE:http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2017/07/14/film-crit-hulk-smash-spider-man-the-marvel-fatal-flaw …

It's weird to have a Spider-Man movie (SPIDER-MAN!) where the theme of responsibility barely even comes up as lip-service. Nor consequence.

See, while I found that theme still there, just not so tediously belabored by mentioning it nonstop. We already know the line.

I know I know it; but I barely believe that this Peter Parker even had an Uncle Ben.

It's implied. They mention a few times that Pete's dealing with some heavy stuff and it's why he's given so much slack.

There's a subtext that a lot of folks assume Pete's odd behavior is him struggling to cope, so they're being gentle.

THERE'S ONE LINE AND YOU DONT FEEL LIKE ITS A STRUGGLE FOR HIM IN ANY WAY. SO HONESTLY THATS AN UNDRAMATIZED RATIONALIZATION?

I found Spiderman 2 tedious because it was Batman parents level of reminding us every five minutes that Ben is dead.

HULK ARGUES ITS NOT BATMAN BECAUSE ITS NOT ONE DIMENSIONAL. IT LENDS THE WEIGHT IT SHOULD.

While I found it belabored in 2. Homecoming assumes you already saw the origin movies.

ITS A DIFFERENT CHARACTER. THE DIRECTOR WASNT EVEN SURE THERES AN UNCLE BEN.

I guess it's just an assumption, but I figured Peter's weird martyr complex also had to do with Uncle Ben and/or his parent's dying.
