5 Huge Spider-Man: Homecoming Mistakes That Far From Home Must Avoid

5. Flesh Out The Ensemble Beyond Archetypes

They say you can never have too much of a good thing but, as Spider-Man: Homecoming proved, that's not necessarily true. Sure, the film was packed to the rafters with great characters, ranging from strong protagonists to the obligatory comic-relief supporters, but not all of them were given the chance to shine.

Of course, the primary characters understandably received the attention that they needed, as the web-slinging wonder that was Peter Parker attempted to prove that he could be a real superhero, and the surprisingly well-developed Adrian Toomes evolved from scorned company owner into an arms-dealing villain. However, can we really say the same about any of the other characters?

Marisa Tomei's quirky reinvention of Aunt May never had enough to do, while Peter's best friend Ned offered little outside of their pair's admittedly charming friendship. Liz and MJ didn't appear on-screen enough and Happy was just, well, Happy.

There were simply too many characters for us to ever really get the chance to appreciate any of the supporting cast for the great assets that they could have been, and with Spider-Man: Far From Home also boasting quite the large ensemble, it's easy to see why some fans are worried that this could end up happening all over again.
