The film makes it very clear that Peter is an actual child, and that full-grown adult Adrian Toomes is still willing to kill him.

When I was a kid, she was a side character in the Cosby spinoff “Different World”, and I had a total crush on her. And with that ensemble of great upcoming actors, not getting lost in the shuffle is no small feat. Then later she was in Cousin Vinny, which was just too damn awesome. And now she’s Aunt May. She’s a…

I heard she likes short, stocky bald men. *adjusts tie*

I haven’t been 100% with how lately, the movies use the cliffhanger-y scene in the mid-credits and the post-credits one is a jokey thing, but that one was absolutely perfect.

“Pretty sure this guy is a war criminal now, but...”

Think about how many Lego Death Stars they probably have to have bought and assembled so they could reshoot that moment without having to take the time to reassemble it after each subpar take.

“Patience...”

So, are we going to talk about Hannibal Buress’s PE teacher and the CapPSA running gag?  This was a great movie. 

I would never joke around, especially in the presence of the president of The Romp dot com here.

Yeah, the way the audience gasped at my screening, that's exactly how everyone perceived that reveal

Laura being biracial does actually seem like part of the twist, in that it makes it harder to see it coming, but once revealed it makes perfect sense and totally organic.

Yeah, this is, impressively, the smuggest, most wannabe hipster write-up yet. Homecoming is much closer to being one of the best MCU films than “from the worst.”

Man, Homecoming was just so much better than a second attempt at a reboot has any right to be. A lot of MCU movies are great in the moment but feel more rickety after you’ve had time to think about them, but Homecoming is sort of the opposite: a lot of fun as you watch it, and then when I thought back on it later I…

largely non-memorable aerial acrobatics...its frequently lackluster action sequences

My defining moment for this film is Spider-Man going out of his way to save Vulture’s life after their final confrontation. To me, that’s Peter Parker, a guy who would risk his life to save someone who was just trying to kill him.

Spider-Man: Homecoming had better be the car ride to prom. The brilliance of the twist and tension throughout that journey, proved that it’s still possible to surprise fans.

D’oh! You’re right. and I can’t edit it now...stupidity is preserved forever...

Thanks for putting this up. Lindsay Ellis is amazing, and this is one of my faves of hers (check out also her trilogy of videos on The Hobbit).

His ego got the best of him.

Say what you will about Discovery, that was one of the best battle scenes in Star Trek history.
