21. Flash's Love For Spider-Man

Flash Thompson loves Spider-Man. He also hates Peter Parker. It's kind of hilarious.

Tony Revolori's version of the character is a far cry from the boneheaded jock of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's comics, but he's retained a distinct feature of his comics counterpart in the film - his admiration for the web-slinger.

In the comics, Flash develops such a love for Spider-Man that he eventually enlists in the US Army, hoping to emulate his hero. He later became Venom, but it's unlikely that MCU Flash's hero worship will go any further than the occasional live stream and odd comment.
