I know I was one of the biggest skeptics on the suit, but I'm 100% sold on it now. The AI, the webs, the everything.
1. The AI was Marvel's way of getting Spider-Man to do monologues on film. Without it we wouldn't have gotten what I think is the most fleshed-out Peter Parker we have on film.
2. I liked how Peter gained access to all that by hacking it while Tony only wanted him to get those options much later. It doesn't just display Peter's intelligence, it shows why he's Spider-
Man and not Spider-Boy.
3. The new webbing is actually the most Ditko-esque take on the webbings since the Ditko days. Ditko's initially webbing was more fluid-like and could do anything (Peter could make objects and animals out of them). After other artists started drawing the webs as little strands coming out, the webbing lots a lot of its versatility.
5. Scientists created real artificial webbing in a lab about a year or two ago. If ordinary real-life people upgrade, it makes sense superheroes upgrade.
6. So far I didn't feel Peter is in any less danger than in the comics despite the upgraded suit.
7. So far the webbing combinations we've seen Peter used are strategy-based, which is even more interesting given he had no training.
I think what I suggested on the previous page wouldnt have effected that too much though. And sorry but it bothers me that Peter was more wanting to live to Stark than Uncle Ben. It bothers me a lot in fact.
Agreed on Uncle Ben, but I don't think this is true.
If you don't mind me asking, are you familiar with the comedian Trevor Noah? I remember reading somewhere his mom taught him to "face the injustice under apartheid through humor". He said he uses this skill in his satire. If asked what comedians he tried to live up to after becoming a comedian though, he'd probably cite Jon Stewart and a few others.
If we applied that analogy to Peter, Ben and Tony played similar roles. Peter might have tried to emulate Tony
after he became a hero, but it was Ben who got him to
become a hero. It was Ben who gave Peter his principles, while Homecoming is all about Peter coming to the realization that Tony isn't that in line with his principles. Ben is the reason Peter will try to not make the mistakes Tony did, in other words. I think that difference is crucial.
