SPOILERS: 8 Frustrating Questions You'll Be Asking After SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a truly spectacular movie, but like a lot of comic book adaptations, there's a chance you'll walk out scratching your head over a number of issues. These are the most annoying!

Spider-Man: Homecoming is an amazing movie and a success when it comes to bringing the iconic superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, while this first solo outing for Marvel's wall-crawler is spectacular and deserving of both the praise and box office success it's been getting, there's no denying that it's another superhero movie which leaves us with some very frustrating questions.

From plot holes to irritating omissions like the lack of The Daily Bugle and Uncle Ben, what you'll find here is an in-depth look at what we believe are eight unanswered queries which must be addressed. 


We try to do that with most of these by looking at both the movie and comments from those involved, but for the most part, these questions will leave your blood boiling, especially if you're a fan of Spider-Man. So, now you've seen the reboot, read on to find out what we believe are eight HUGE issues!

8. Where's The Daily Bugle?



Here we go again. The Amazing Spider-Man movies featured only the briefest of references to The Daily Bugle but J. Jonah Jameson and his supporting cast were nowhere to be seen and Peter's work for them was never addressed in a meaningful way. Going into Spider-Man: Homecoming we all expected Marvel Studios to make up for that by reintroducing us to that eclectic cast of characters.

While Betty Brant shows up as one of Peter's classmates, that's it, and the newspaper doesn't even show up as an Easter Egg! Yes, the shadow of J.K. Simmons still looms large but there's really no reason we couldn't have seen the Bugle again here. The reboot admittedly has lots going on and might have struggled to have included Peter's work as a photographer but not even setting that up for the sequel seems like a missed opportunity and leaves us once again wondering if this is being left on the shelf. We're never even teased by having Peter show an interest in photography!

@ArmFallOffBoy - So close to my first first :(

@ArmFallOffBoy - I wasn't frustrated with really any of this. It's a fresh take, and I really enjoyed that.

@ArmFallOffBoy - I enjoyed the fresh take. I didn't like that Peter was a genius who goes to a genius school and genius enough to make webbing and great fighter who can go up against Avengers, but too darn stupid to stop a van.

It's one thing to be out of your depth, is another thing to be plain stupid, and they leaned on him being stupid far too much in my opinion. The capable hero we saw in Civil War was nowhere to be found here.

Once again, none of these are questions I asked during the movie. None of these are even the little bit frustrating lol.

The only real frustrating question I have is that Homecoming supposedly takes places 8 years after the first Avengers, which means that SM:H is supposed to take place in 2020? Or that the first Avengers takes place in 2009? This makes no sense, assuming that Avengers does take place in 2012. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

When I saw it the second time there are a few moments where he reacts without seeing whats going on...so the Spidey sense thing is a non issue for me...I don't understand why people are so hung up on the Uncle Ben thing when there are 5 movies that reference him over and over....I mean go watch those movies lol and I say that as a huge Spidey fan...this movie is a direct throwback and a deep dive to a specific story early in the Spidey pathos where he wants to join the fantastic 4 badly but instead of the fantastic 4 in this movie its replaced with the Avengers...Spidey has always been his own man and even in the comics while he worked with the Avengers he declined joining before as well...plus to answer the question about the suit at the end of the movie its just in a brown paper bag...when it had all the bells and whistles in one in a holographic case...it could just be his red and blues and thats it...we don't know just enjoy the movie for what it is
