Spider-Man: Homecoming - What Does The Ending Really Mean?

8. The Avengers Still Exist

After dealing with Toomes and leaving him for the authorities to pick up, Peter Parker goes back to his quieter life, via a quick sojourn to the new Avengers facility in upstate New York. There he's offered the chance to be an Avenger, complete with a new shiny Iron Spider-like suit, with a press conference set up to unveil him.

Ultimately, he turns the chance down, wanting instead to stick to his lower key life, prompting Tony to pretend the offer was just a test and that he passed. Obviously, this means that while Spidey isn't an Avenger, he still knows he's being lined up to be one.

But even more intriguingly, it also means that The Avengers are still functional, despite everything that has happened in Civil War. And if they're an active team, we have to wonder who the hell is active in there: we know Vision is, because he's mentioned explicitly as Peter's prospective neighbour, but other than that, there's no-one else left, is there?

Tony's obviously still functional, but of his Civil War team he's lost Rhodey to life-changing injury, Black Panther defected, Black Widow went underground at Tony's insistence, and Spider-Man doesn't want to play. So it's just him and Vision, who is compromised by affection for Scarlet Witch.

This is not a very good Avengers team, to say the least - and why is General Ross happy for them to continue using that name when Stark messed up bringing in Cap's team? It's a little illogical, frankly.
