4/5.

A great reboot of the web slinging hero. Tom Holland really is the best Spidey we have had yet and I hope it continues further in the MCU.

Wished there was more Zendaya but I loved her in the scenes we did get and with the role she is playing, I'm sure she will have a much larger chunks to play in the future.

I think him mentioning SJW had nothing to do with the ethnicity of the school. It had to do with a character not wanting to go into a national monument because "it was built by slaves".

Those types of comments have no business in a superhero movie.

Oh, so you're saying nobody would ever say anything like that in real life?

What exactly is suppose to be in a superhero movie then?

I'm surprised more people aren't pissed at the "I was looking at porn" line.

Marvel may be setting up The Sinister Six in the MCU

Fans know the Sinister Six hasn't had the best on-screen luck. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tried to set up the villainous gang a few years back, but nothing ever came of the tease. Spider-Man: Homecoming is the newest film to nod towards the rough-and-tough gang. And, now, the film’s writers are talking about how the nefarious squad settles into the MCU.

During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriters Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley opened up about their Spider-Man gig. The pair touched on some of the film’s most important scenes, and they expanded on the post-credits blip that referenced the Sinister Six. Rather than introduce the entire swath of baddies, the writers said Spider-Man: Homecoming didn’t have room for a Sinister Six showdown since Peter Parker is just starting his vigilante career.

“It's all for the intention to make this movie exist in a much more grounded, and in some ways, a low-stakes world, where it's not about world domination, or these abstract things. It's just a guy with a beef who's trying to provide for his family,” Goldstein explained, nodding to the Vulture’s motivations. “We also felt this is a starter version of Spider-Man. If you put him up against Doc Octopus or someone like that, he's going to get his ass kicked.”

Daley chimed in to explain how the threat of the Sinister Six may draw the attention of the Avengers. “That's the other thing,” the writer said. “We have to acknowledge the existence of the Avengers in this world, so if the threat became world-threatening, you would obviously bring in the big guys to handle it.”

When it comes to Spider-Man: Homecoming, there’s simply no place for the Sinister Six to stand. Peter Parker has yet to face-off with most of the gang individually, and the vigilante would not be equipped to fight them even if he had. When he enter his senior year, Spider-Man should have a shot of beating down Doc Octopus, but the hero is just too green in his sophomore year.

As the MCU expands, the Sinister Six will continue to carve out room themselves. Some of the villains will be introduced in other MCU titles; For instance, Kraven the Hunter will debut in Black Panther next year. Space and time will be needed to make the Sinister Six grounded, and Marvel Studios is big enough to give the baddies such luxuries. When the gang does debut as a unit, they will come together as a hellish force of nature bent on exacting revenge against Spider-Man. And, by that time, the web-swinging hero will be trained enough to take the brunt of their anger.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is in theaters now! Give it your personal rating below!

The Baccalaureate School for Global Education (BSGE) is a New York City public high school located in the Astoria section of Queens, New York. BSGE was established in 2002. It serves a student body of about 470 students between the 7th and 12th grades. BSGE is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer both the MYP (IB Middle Years Programme) and also the IB Diploma Programme. It was ranked #28th in the nation as of 2015,[2] and ranked the #5th High School in the New York. Applicants must succeed in an admission test, and satisfy other requirements according to the grade entered.

What more evidence do yall need to be convinced that Peters school wouldnt look like Queens late 60s?

You have teenagers that ignore or refuse to take their photo with Paul Ryan in the real world, but it's an issue to make the loner girl (very Breakfast Club-ish Allison) be like them and explain away why she wouldn't be with the class? If you want to represent modern schools and teenagers it does fit in, regardless of the content being a superhero movie or not.

you should have said this then instead of just Queens. My point being as you know Queens is huge and every single area looks different.

This is the type of school that was in the movie. These schools are public but the students get in based on standardized test scores. They are mostly made up of Asian students.

There was another I found in The Bronx that had a higher percentage of white students compared to this one, but the Asian population was still easily the majority.

The problem is that the movie neither looks like the comics or like real life. Instead they made sure each race was equally represented.

That's a very small percentage of younger kids. The internet just magnifies these behaviors. The majority just think that behavior is silly and stupid.

It must be terrible to be so racist and disdainful of others to get bent out of shape over a high school demographic not being overly white.

Wait what? Kraven the Hunter is in Black Panther?

Especially since none of those people are real.

I said the same thing. Would make sense if he is in it, though.

As long as hes not the main villain

[Phobics]

I'm really surprised there isn't outrage over a certain character really being a certain red haired character... fracking Disney and they can't do any wrong.

Is he? He's one of my favorite Spidey villains, so it would awesome for him to make an MCU appearance before Sony can use him in one of their Spider-free Spider-Man spin-offs, liek they said they want to.

Your comment is the only racist thing I have seen here so far. I could care less if the cast is white. I wouldn't even care if Spider-man was black. I wouldn't care if the school he went to was mostly black and Hispanic.

What I don't like is watching a movie where it is so painfully obvious that the casting director had a checklist to hit every demographic to make sure every race is almost perfectly represented. It reeks of PC culture at its worst. And a LOT of people who watched this movie noticed this....
