Tension isn't a superhero punching a bad guy and getting punched by a bad guy until he outpunches the bad guy. Tension isn't a superhero facing a life or death situation and escaping at the last moment. Tension is Peter Parker, in the back of his girlfriend's crime boss dad's car, as he slowly pieces together Peter's identity as he digs himself more and more into a hole. The car scene is my favorite scene in the entire MCU, #1 ahead of any other scene - I think about it all the damn time. There are exciting scenes in the MCU, but this is the only one that's like, lump in my throat, unconsciously gripping the edge of my seat exciting. I've never really been a Spider-Man fan, and I felt like because he was always so popular, I was never going to really be able to appreciate him, but I was so wrong - this movie made me a fan. I love the smaller scope of this movie after all the big, dumb, overwrought plots in the other films. I love how lighthearted and feel good it is. I love the cast, I love the writing, but goddamn I love that car scene. Best villain in the MCU, bar none, even Thanos - Michael Keaton delivers a great performance as both a scary crime lord and a scary dad. That twist might literally be the only one I didn't see coming in the entire MCU - maybe I was dumb for not predicting it, but I literally said 'oh shit' out loud at the reveal.

Ah yes, Tom Holland's Spider-Man. It was refreshing to have an MCU movie with a younger protagonist. The movie has that teen energy to it that, for me, made it easier to enjoy. Also that conversation in the car between Peter and the Vulture is muah *chef's kiss*. A great movie.

So, the third live-action Spiderman reboot, eh? I grew up with the Raimi movies (Im young for B8, okay?), and while I love them, it wasnt the peak of cinema. This is a different take on Peter Parker, and while its not exactly what I want, Tom Holland absolutely nails the humour, and its just a funny movie in general (Jacob Batalons delivery as Ned is the best). It has a weird high school 90s romcom vibe going on in parts, and it feels low-stakes in general, which is exactly what Spiderman needs compared to the existential or political threats of a lot of the MCU. Michael Keaton as the Vulture is phenomenal, and the scene where Peter realises his identity is probably the most painfully tense in the entire MCU. On the whole, the action is fine if not great, but where it really shines is Peter and his interactions with just about everyone (except Liz, who is a boring romantic interest). Hell, his interactions with random people like Donald Glover and the strangers on the street are highlights, as well as Happy. Tony in particular deserves special mention, for having the father/son dynamic with Peter without making it all about him. Overall, its a really fun and enjoyable movie with some great moments and a top-tier villain, which is all anyone is asking from a good Spiderman movie. Homecoming also has my favourite post-credits scene of all. Unfortunately, Spiderverse blows it (and everything on this ranking) out of the water as a movie (and probably postcredits too), but that doesnt make this one any worse.

Now THIS is how you introduce a new character into the MCU. The first movies for Cap, Iron Man, and Thor were fine, but their best work was certainly later on. Homecoming, however, starts Spider-Man off with a bang. Easily one of the most entertaining MCU movies, it established Tom Holland as a top MCU star, and also an outstanding supporting cast into the mix. Michael Keaton, in particular, killed it as Vulture, expertly showing a duality in his relationship with Peter. Hes a fatherly presence that doesnt want to hurt Peter, but is also a very intimidating presence that will hurt Peter if necessary. It properly sows the seeds for what I think will be a return for Vulture in future installments.
