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."

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.

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?

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

Thanks, Tom. :)

Milana Vayntrub, from the AT&T commercials, has been cast as Squirrel Girl: [link]

I wouldn't have thought of her as Squirrel Girl, but she is cute and clever, so it could work.

She's got a Squirrel Girl vibe here: [link]

Just got back from Spider-Man: Homecoming, and while I liked it overall I wasn't blown away. The writing for almost everything on the part of the villains struck me as poorly thought-out or contrived (no knock on Michael Keaton's acting, though, he did the best he could with what they gave him), and I did not appreciate the script making Happy a careless, duty-shirking incompetent or Pepper someone who would approve of Tony putting a 15-year-old on a superhero team that's had a crippling injury and a death in its previous outings... or who would blindly assume that Tony would actually bother to consult the legal guardian of said child .

Tom Holland was everything I'd hoped for though—far and away the best version of Spider-Man himself I've seen on screen.
