@knocturnalzen10 - I often find myself switching those two around. It's pretty close imo.

@Imfunnyhow - imo X2, DOFP, and Logan are better than at least 40% of the MCU

@adamcawa - But if the MCU is going "younger" you can't skip his origin. Uncle Ben is vital to his character depth and growth. Holland's Spider-man is still an immature, irresponsible, and hyper teenager in Homecoming because at the end of the film he decides not to grow up.

I agree we do not need a whole film or even half a film retelling his origin but Marvel should at least acknowledge or establish some groundwork of his current situation. All we have are vague nods and references that could be or won't be established in later sequels. It's obvious they had no direction of what to do with Spider-Man, Capt. Marvel, or Black Panther because Marvel was more focused on IW and Endgame. So MJ is not really Mary Jane Watson, Uncle Ben is never mentioned (he is referenced, but we don't even know if he is dead yet), and most of all he never earns his costume. Tony stark just gives it to him because Marvel wanted Spider-man in civil war.

In the comics and Rami films, Peter matures at a young age and has strong moral justice because he understands "responsibility". He earns his suit after Uncle Ben's death because that's where he commits to becoming "Spider-Man". The MCU is frustrating because they never fully "commit" to an new idea then build on it in later sequels, instead they always just give subtle hints and nods until it's the actor's final film.
