Still, much like #WonderWoman, this is a film with a second act, so the fact that the third is a bit of a letdown can be forgiven.

You kind of see it coming when you get 2/3 of the way in and realize all the scenes from the trailers have happened. #SpiderManHomecoming

One MCU trait that #SpiderManHomecoming shouldn't have indulged in: it is blatantly obvious that the final action scene was done in reshoots

TBH, don't know how well that works for Peter Parker. I'm compelled by argument I saw someone make, that this should have been a Miles movie

Previous movies were abt Peter nobly sacrificing his human life. SM:H argues that it is essential for him to keep being a person, and a kid.

One interesting way #SpiderManHomecoming differs from previous SM movies is how it handles Peter's balance between life and being a hero.

Its scope, villain, & hero are all on more modest scale, and that leaves it room to be both looser and more compelling than other MCU films.

That's a compliment, BTW. In fact, #SpiderManHomecoming feels like a rebuke to the outsized scale and concerns of recent MCU movies.

Remember the face you made in Civil War when Tony recruits a 14yo to his team? #SpiderManHomecoming is a film-length version of that face.

I understand i should watch Spiderman but also feel like when you just can't possibly eat another fucking piece of cake no matter how good

This is really turning out to be the day for tumblr throwing up MCU-related political garbage that I've been stewing over for years.

SHE'S A MURDERER AND TERRORIST WHO WILLINGLY SIGNED UP WITH NAZIS. She's practically the poster-child for anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Oh, FFS, someone on tumblr is using MCU Wanda Maximoff as an example of a "refugee" being kept out of the US by Trumpism.

Still holding out hope for a She-Hulk Netflix series where she works to free everyone held in that underwater prison from Civil War

In its first act, I thought BD was really trying to depict a neuroatypical character outside the familiar cliches. Then that fizzled away.
