So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Thrive to spite them

I saw the first one but not the very end. I'm going to try and see the movie again

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, god. The post-credits was PURE GOLD.

I was cracking up so hard at this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's one of my favorite Marvel post-credit scenes. I think it might go Iron Man 1, Avengers 1, and now Spider-Man: Homecoming.

My thoughts are a big ol' jumble about Spider-Man, but I really, REALLY loved it. Definitely need to see it again. I really liked Tom Holland (or, as Kat P. calls him, Spider-Baby) in Civil War, but I wondered if he could carry a whole movie. He KILLED IT as Peter Parker. He was so, SO good. And I really appreciate that we didn't have the origin story of spider bite and Uncle Ben getting killed. Nobody needs that again.

I loved the Vulture's coat being a way to modernize the classic costume (it reminded me of what the Flash TV show did with Captain Cold).

I didn't exactly shriek when Peter showed up to pick up Liz for the dance and the goddamn Vulture opened the front door, but I apparently gasped loudly enough that my brother (2 seats away) mocked me for it later. I did not see that coming.

Zendaya: "CALL ME MJ" -- I *may* have not-quite yelled "YES!!!!!" when that happened. And also didn't see that coming. She is the goddamn BEST.

I didn't know that Donald Glover was going to be in the movie, so that was a nice surprise. And also a possible hint at Miles Morales, so yay there.

About 15 seconds before Spidey ran past the TV with Ferris Bueller on it, I was thinking "Jeez, this is practically lifted straight out of Ferris Bueller," so well done for acknowledging it, movie.

And OH MY GOD Tony made him an Avenger!!!! But then he walked away! Peter Parker is THE BEST.

And the next movie had by god better not walk back Aunt May walking in on Peter in the Spidey costume or make it a joke or have Peter say it was for a costume party or something. I have long thought that Aunt May needs to explicitly know that Peter is Spidey.

Ned is the actual best.

And the running gag of Captain America PSAs was PURE GOLD. ("He's probably a war criminal now, but I have to show it.")

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy is me when it comes to the movie. Loved it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My brother's reaction to the post-credits scene was a laughing "Oh, you dicks..." when Cap started talking about patience.

I will say, after thinking about it, I really like how they handled Flash Thompson in this. He was still a giant dick, but you could kind of understand why he was so antagonistic to Peter. From his perspective Peter's this guy who's constantly screwing around and being generally unreliable, who brags about having an internship with Tony Stark, and everyone keeps praising him for how brilliant he is.

ETA: While I didn't gasp, I was also surprised when the Vulture answered the door of Liz's house and then spent the first minute or so thinking it was a trick of some kind and trying to figure out how the Vulture knew who Peter was and who his "girlfriend" was. Liz in my mind was "Liz Allan" but I don't think we ever hear her last name and she's only listed in the credits as "Liz."

Compassionately intolerant

I did not see that coming.

Neither did we! Which, I gotta say, was almost as surprising as the actual thing. There was much appreciative gasping.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Question from an almost-six-year-old: We've seen the bit in the Spiderman trailer where Peter sneaks back into his room and his buddy drops the Lego Death Star. Are there other scenes with the Lego Death Star?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yes, we see briefly that the Death Star does in fact get rebuilt.

Thanks, Tom. :)
