Finally watched Spiderman: Homecoming. Was quite nice, love that it wasn't an origin story. Like anyone alive doesn't know the spiderman story by now.
I just hope they let him fucking graduate. He was only in High School for about twelve issues of the original run.
In fact, he was named Spider-Man and not Spider-Boy specifically because he was intended to age.
He was a jr right? Really depends on how much time has passed between movies so far. This was set pretty soon after age of ultron from what I saw.
Whats really getting to me about the marvel ciniematic universe is everyone is taking these world changing events more or less in stride. Aliens exist, superpowers exist, ultra advance tech exists, yet the average person seems more or less unaffected.
Sure, we have some adapted tech in some places, but it seems like it's just not filtering down too much outside government agents.
I don't recall exactly. Still, Spider-man really hasn't been in High School for most of his comic book career. Like I said, it was a grand total of around 12 issues. I'm getting kind of sick of him being shoved back to that with every incarnation when the more interesting stories involving him are all after that period.
It makes sense for an origin movie, but there's no need for it if we're skipping that. He'd be just as interesting and relatable as a college student, and would actually fit in with the rest of the MCU better that way.
I'm not saying take it all the way to Parker Industries, just that for most of his history he's been an adult. He could have easily been doing the web swinging thing for a while in the MCU under the radar since he was in high school.
I'm not mad about it in the latest movie, but I'd like to see him in college in the sequel. Like I also said, he's supposed to grow up and get older. That's central to his character and why he aged and did things like go through adult relationships and get married.
As for the tech, that kind of makes sense for it to be that way in the movies because that's how it is in the comics too. Normal people are pretty much the same and have the same level as tech as we do in general.
It's just the more 'comic book' organizations and individuals such as, SHIELD, heroes, high level corporate employees [like say Roxxon or Stark employees], and villains who have anything more advanced than basic internet and cell phones.
Normal people still have regular technology and that's basically it. Rocket actually has a little rant about this in Guardians of the Galaxy during the Civil War 2 arc during a scene where the Guardians are arriving to Earth.
