Ranking Every Aspect Of The MCU From Worst To Best

He may only have had a brief amount of screentime in Captain America: Civil War and has just one feature-length movie under his belt, but it is a testament to Tom Holland's performance that the argument can already be made for the English actor being the definitive cinematic incarnation of Spider-Man.

Many people rolled their eyes when another Spider-Man movie was announced, even in the wake of Marvel Studio's game-changing licensing agreement with Sony. We'd already seen a trilogy, a reboot and its sequel between 2002 and 2014, and there was a very real danger that audiences could suffer from Spidey fatigue.

Thankfully, Holland's extended cameo in Civil War and this summer's Homecoming laid any lingering doubts to rest. After reintroducing the character with a bang, Homecoming manages to tell a smaller story than many of its contemporaries, one that very obviously takes place in the MCU without becoming bogged down in the world-building that blights many blockbusters.

It also helps that it is possibly the funniest Marvel movie to date, utilizing the high school experience everyone remembers for different reasons to both dramatic and comedic effect without ever losing sight of the personal stakes involved.

Young, inexperienced, hopelessly out of his depth, socially awkward, incredibly excitable, morally conflicted, torn between great power and great responsibility and prone to a quip; this is a Spider-Man ripped straight from the pages of comic books.
