Spider-Man Homecoming: 5 Scenes We Need (And 5 We Don't)
2. Emo Peter Parker And The Ominous Tone
When fans flocked to the theater in 2007, eager to see how Sam Raimi would put a bow on his trilogy, many of them probably didn't expect what they saw. Its now become a monster of an internet meme, but 9 years ago, the horror was all too real.
Peter Parker going full emo and dancing down the streets of New York doesnt exactly scream Spider-Man, and the film only went downhill from here. Not only was it a severe issue with the films plot, it was a betrayal of the very tone that Spider-Man is known for, opting for a darker, unnatural feel in a movie that should have been relatively breezy all the way through.
Besides ditching emo Peter Parker - which Marvel will obviously do - they should also be sure to ditch this darker tone. Despite the success of Batman Begins and its successive sequels, not every film needs to be gritty to be enjoyable.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a film that would benefit from an emphasis on everyday comedy, contrasting the classroom with crime-fighting - Peter going on a downward spiral, ending his relationship with Mary Jane and turning into what can only be described as a superhero sexual predator is not a story-line the character should entertain.
