1. Spider-Man Joins The MCU

The Scene: Spider-Man joins Team Iron Man in his new iteration, stealing Cap's shield ahead of the climactic Civil War showdon.

Why It Should Be Awesome: Reviews so far have almost universally singled out Tom Holland as a standout in the movie, apparently stealing pretty much every scene he's in and delivering arguably the best screen rendition of the web-slinger to date.

If all that's not a reason to be excited, what is? Seeing Spidey finally in the MCU, interacting with all these heroes, is a dream come true for just about any comic book fan, and even a few short years ago it was something we thought we'd never actually see. In a way, The Amazing Spider-Man movies being thoroughly mediocre was the best thing that could've happened to Spidey...

What Could Go Wrong: Some reviews have stated that Spidey, though brilliant, is a totally superfluous addition to the line-up, in that he could be removed from the movie without affecting its outcome at all. That's not a deal-breaker by any means, but if he felt in any way like an also-ran, that would be a damn shame.
