Psst, sorry I’ve been inactive for so long, but if any of you are still here, I’ve been hanging out at my studyblr @sara-is-productive and my musicals blog @santa-feeeeeeeeee if you wanna go check that out :)
diverse school is diverse! normal kids are normal!
this movie is funny as hell
they’re all actually teenagers or damned close(!)
peter is an actual awkward ass kid —in and out of the suit
michael keaton is excellent
great soundtrack
super neat web-flinging action sequences
tom holland acts his ass off i am so blown away by him
ned is the perfect wing man and will have you rolling
there’s an actual twist! !!
hysterical supporting roles as played by hannibal burress and donald glover
the big school bully is the way they often are in real life—extremely educated, average-looking, and a total jackass
cap’s cameo(s)
liz is not another storybook high school crush—she’s beautiful and smart and lovely and not vilified by any other characters
zendaya is politically correct and salty and amazing
tony stark and co. are in it just enough without stealing the show
aunt may is hip and cool
we are reminded of peter’s vulnerability and strength every step of the way
“suit lady” and all the suit’s bonus features
some very direct socio-political commentary
probably one of the best ending lines ever written
people were c a c k l i n g
the bottom line: this is the spidey we’ve started to see in the previous franchises come to fruition: un-glorified, imperfect, and eager to help others
