Homecoming Spider-Man MCU personality

[Rodrigo90]

The home dilemmas and melodrama that was faced in SM2, despite what people hate, was consistent with the old comics. Peter faced a lot of **** in the comics of old, and Raimi brought us all that with terrifically directed and acted execution.

I still stand by my view that SM2 is THE greatest superhero movie out there, so far. I couldn't give it anymore praise than I already have. The heart and soul was came from Maguire and the cast surrounding him. I know what people say about him, but he was so brilliant in that film.

And if I see a Peter that's like Ferris Bueller, I will kick someone. That is NOT Peter Parker. He's a kid who has to deal with real **** at home and the big, bad, crazy world out there. Bueller would throw his humor at the situation and that's fine, that's one of Peter's outlets. But Ferris wasn't grounded and didn't think of the consequences of irrational behaviour...Peter was a victim to that, remember?

Exactly. Exactly.

A John Hughes inspired Spider-Man with Ferris Bueller as the main influence.

"I'm so sorry, Aunt May...I didn't mean to get Uncle Ben killed [Whimpers like a baby]"
"It's okay, Peter."

Aunt Marisa Hugs Peter. He peeks down her top. Looks at the camera.

"She bought it."

Think about it.

You're a nerd. You're a child genius. You're quiet, which means some kids will like you, who are good kids themselves, while others will walk over you because they know they can.
You're an outsider, and with that, it's hard to interact with other social cliques. You're best pal, Harry Osborn, despite being rich, is also treat as an outsider by his school chums. But, Harry, through being rich, has something that you don't - friends and opportunities that money can be, and others will want a piece of that, and willingly allow him in places where you can't go.
You're good looking, but you hide behind glasses, and your nerdiness is a turnoff for most girls.
Like any growing teenage boy, you'd like the hot girl to notice you, and perhaps they do, but your confidence in that belief is shaky, so you end up not trusting that feeling, thinking to yourself,
"Why would they want me?"
Most of the school knows you're the quiet and reserved type, a nerd, with top grades, a social outcast. But underneath all that, in your close circle, you're witty as hell. The beat backs you've received in life for being all the above has helped you develop a sense of humour, that helps you cope with everything, and while you hear it internally, and only your close circle, you still haven't got the confidence to say what you feel to just about anyone...because you're afraid of the consequences, because you ARE still all of those above things.

Now...one day, you venture out on a high school trip. Before you know it, you're bitten by a radioactive spider. You feel like you're dying...then, you feel great. Better than great. You have super strength, speed, agility. You have something you never had before - power.
What will this do to you? It will change you. Now, you feel you have the power and the confidence to say and do what you feel, because now, it's erased all the above descriptions. However, this power goes to your head too much...and it's not long before you say things like,
"Sorry, pal...I'm a wrestler, not a cop."

At your uncle's funeral, you start reflecting on who you are why and why you're here. You start to realise the balance that must be taken, between being a kid wanting to have fun with his new powers, and being a man. A man with all this power and responsibility, and the weight of his actions if he choses to act selfishly with them, and allow his new found confidence to pull him in the directions that turn him into something he's not. You must never lose sight of who you always were before your powers arrived, and all these things that sucked, you realise kept you grounded above the rest...While still having fun with kicking the big bad between the legs and providing him with comic relief for his pain

That's the Peter Parker I want to see.

This is without a doubt, one of the best posts I have ever read...And I wholeheartedly agree about this being the Peter Parker I want to see. Hell, we need to see...

 

[Webhead2006]

I am sure kevin and marvel will get it right.

 

[project13]

With the news that the reboot would have Peter being Spidey for about 2 years, he would have learned "great responsibility" and would have some experience. How do you think his personality would be at this time?

 

[Webhead2006]

He should be the fun lovely wide cracking hero and still feel some guilt about ben but it shouldn't keep him down 24/7.

 

[Venomfan]

Peter was never really quiet though, nor did he "hide" behind glasses other than the first few issues really. He also always had the balls to go after any girl he wanted. I'm pretty sure he did pre-spider bite too (don't have issues on me to check)

Where'd you get the '2 years' thing from? What I saw indicated that he's been Spidey for 1 year, not 2, which would've made him 14 when the spider bit him and would jive with everything else we've already heard about the approach being taken with the character in the MCU, up to and including the fact that the desire is to have him be in HS for most, if not all, of his solo trilogy.

 

[theinfernoman]

I think he meant 2 years in the solo film.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ And, again, I'd like to ask where that idea came from.

I said this elsewhere, but I've believed for a while now that Peter will be 15 in both Civil War AND the solo film (something that Watts' comments supports, BTW), which means he'll have only been Spider-Man for a year in both of those projects.

 

[UltimateMarvel]

I love Spidey's sarcasm against the bad guys.

That's true.
I received this today of Amazon

And I can confirm your claim

Speaking from experience, I was shy at school. But at moments I had bursts of courage to talk to a girl I liked. Ask them out? Never. Very rare I did that, and I think it has to do with loneliness and the desire for deeper companionship, and I think when you're at the brink, you'll go for it.
Took me a long time to realise a wise philosophy - I'd rather risk a life of "Oh wells" rather than a life of "What ifs".

For Peter, it was a girl named Sally he tried asking out first, and it's implied he liked her. So, he had balls back then, or maybe Lee knew firsthand from the first panel just how desperately lonely Peter was and gave him that push because of it.

We don't really know either way yet, but the other MCU films have stayed pretty close to real time, so I suspect they will do the same here, but they very well could have it not stick with real time, there's no way of knowing as of yet.

 

[Webhead2006]

Digic remember yr films are out are yrs film are set in. And since civil war is set in 2016 at some point in the yr. And solo 1 is set during 2017. He will been spidey for about 2 yrs by the time solo stsrts. And 1 yr for civil war. So he is 15 for civil war and likely going to be 16 in solo.

Infoman, no way mcu real time is going to stop or be slowed down for spidey. Spidey will work within mcu timesclae. No way it will change. It's a part of the mcu now. Marvel is the ones handling the creative end of things. So no way it be different. And no way just cause spodey starting at 15 time scale has to change. Again kevin said they are treating spodey like harry potter. We will see him age and grow over the next few solo and team films and other appearances in upcoming phases. Then like I pointed out if each phase is 4 to 5 yrs of time. By the time phase 5 comes around we be hitting late 20s to early 30s age of oetrr. And then at that point once we hit that adult age range comics have spidey. Age likely won't be talked about. And he just be a adult. Again peter is not being locked into just be 15 yrs old forever.

To everyone who disagrees with my position re: the timescale of things going forward:
1) Sony wants Peter Parker to be a high-schooler for most, if not all, of the Spider-Man solo films that they are financing and distributing

2) Marvel Studios is going to be working WITH Sony to incorporate Peter Parker and his world into the existing MCU, and will be willing to take whatever steps are necessary in order to do so, even if it means accommodating Sony's desire to have the character remain in HS for multiple films

3) To insist that Marvel Studios can go in and say to Sony "You can't have the character of Peter Parker remain in HS for all of the films that you [Sony] are solely financing and distributing just because it will screw up the narrative flow of what we've already established" is to demonstrate ignorance of what this partnership deal actually entails and the ways in which it will, by necessity, change what the MCU has been up to this point

I can just picture Peter looking at the camera and winking at that line

Source?

2) Marvel Studios is going to be working WITH Sony to incorporate Peter Parker and his world into the existing MCU, and will be willing to take whatever steps are necessary in order to do so, even if it means accommodating Sony's desire to have the character remain in HS for multiple films

And Sony is going to be working with Marvel to incorporate Spider-Man in to the MCU. Even if Sony did want this, I don't think they would be committed enough to endanger the deal over something so trivial. It also wouldn't be healthy for the franchise to stick with the status quo so long without changing things up.

3) To insist that Marvel Studios can go in and say to Sony "You can't have the character of Peter Parker remain in HS for all of the films that you [Sony] are solely financing and distributing just because it will screw up the narrative flow of what we've already established" is to demonstrate ignorance of what this partnership deal actually entails and the ways in which it will, by necessity, change what the MCU has been up to this point

They don't need to. Feige already worked closely with Sony in making the 4 least terrible Spider-Man movies. He has a good standing with the company and could probably get away with anything he wants so long as it makes Sony money. Just because they want something wouldn't at all mean they were committed enough force Marvel into it.

 

[Webhead2006]

Digic the whole hs thing can still easily happen with marvel time scale all counting what grade peter is at the start in civil war. And of course hoe quickly sequels can get off the ground. Plus we also have the infinity films peter likely to be in and can play off hs stuff in them. Now if the sequels don't happen by 2019, 2020. Then maybe the 3 films in hs could be changed. But we don't know what will happen yet. As we don't have first film iut and see how it does. So again no reason to think the real time mcu scale can't work with hs stuff for spidey.

should Peter be more of a tech geek (up to date on all tech an into internet trends, social media stuff) or like an old fashion type of nerd (an out of touch on social media)

 

[theinfernoman]

I don't picture Peter Parker being big into social media.

 

[Webhead2006]

He should be a tech geek as its the thing nowadays.

He's a nerd, not a geek. I know nerds, probably am one, I don't have any social media. Neither do my nerd friends. (Unless this forum counts as social media) I think using social media assumes that you are in touch with many people on a regular basis and have many friends. ('friends') I don't think that fits Peter that well.

I don't picture Peter Parker being big into social media.

Instagram.

 

[Webhead2006]

Techy stuff computers and photo stuff should be his interests.

 

[Pecola1]

I think him being into programming would be like a nerd of this time... but not the type of nerd Peter is. He's more mechanical than digital. Not that he wouldn't be interested in digital stuff, but if at all interested in computers it would likely be more into the computer engineering than programming. It would probably be better to focus on his photography. In that case, he would NOT be an instagram guy, but the kind of guy who has a professional camera and takes photos without posting everything on some sort of social media.
