There's another scene in the halls of the high school when Ned, who has just learned Parker is Spider-Man, is curious about his powers. The film is at its best when Parker is put in uncomfortable high school moments-like his first party, which he has to leave early to go fight crime, finding himself in a bit of a pickle when there are no buildings to swing from in the suburbs. Homecoming, in contrast to the first five Spider-Man movies, brilliantly depicts a superhero weighed down by the awkwardness of adolescence. We already know Parker is Spider-Man-we've seen that infamous spider bite and all that. Since we've had so many Spider-Men in the last 15 years, director Jon Watts brilliantly avoids another origin story.

Spider-Man: Homecoming, in contrast to the first five Spider-Man movies, brilliantly depicts a superhero weighed down by the awkwardness of adolescence. Tom Holland might be the best Peter Parker of the live-action Spider-Man era he's sweet, he's young, and he finds the perfect balance of irreverence and intelligence that has always defined the character. And this is where the movie becomes more like The Breakfast Club than any Marvel movie: Peter sits in detention, goes to parties, crushes on the popular girl, and is awkward as hell alongside his best friend Ned (played by the hilarious Jacob Batalon). He's just a regular angsty teen, anxious to grow up and do something more important-except, for him, that means fighting extra-dimensional monsters rather than going to college. He battles alongside the most famous heroes in the world, then returns to his Queens high school and skips his extracurricular activities to catch bike thieves and give old women directions as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: Homecoming takes place shortly after the events in Captain America: Civil War, in which a young Peter Parker is recruited by Stark to help fight in a big, CGI superhero clusterfuck.
