Spider Man Homecoming Far From Home No Way Home
Okay, let's talk about Spider-Man. Not just any Spider-Man, but Tom Holland's Spidey. We're diving into his first three movies: Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home. Are you ready for some maybe slightly controversial opinions?
Let's start with Homecoming. This movie felt so...fresh. High school drama mixed with superhero stuff? Yes, please!
Tony Stark as a mentor? Absolutely genius. I loved the awkward teenage Peter trying to balance homework and saving the world.

But, here's a thought: Was the whole "underdog" thing a little overdone? I mean, he's still Spider-Man. Shouldn't he be naturally good at stuff?
Next up: Far From Home
Europe! Illusions! Jake Gyllenhaal! What's not to love?
Well, maybe the overreliance on special effects. Did anyone else feel like the Mysterio illusions went on for a bit too long? My eyes needed a break.
And the whole "passing the torch" vibe from Tony Stark? Bit heavy handed, right? Peter needed to find his own way, not just become Iron Man 2.0.
Now for the big one: No Way Home
Multiverse madness! Spider-Men galore! Everyone lost their minds.
And okay, fine, seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield back was pretty awesome. Nostalgia overload, indeed.
But let's be honest, the plot got a little...messy. Too many villains, too many emotional moments, too much going on!
It was a fan service buffet, which isn't always a bad thing. But sometimes, too much buffet gives you a stomach ache.
Here's my unpopular opinion: I actually think Homecoming is the best of the three. Shocking, I know.
It had a simpler story. The stakes were lower. It felt more grounded (as much as a superhero movie can be).
The humor was perfectly balanced with the action. It didn't try to be epic; it just wanted to be a good Spider-Man movie.
Far From Home and No Way Home both tried to be bigger and grander. And they succeeded, in some ways.
But sometimes, bigger isn't always better. Remember that awesome, yet simple homemade suit in Homecoming?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all three movies. I'm a sucker for superhero stuff, especially when it involves Spider-Man.
However, Homecoming just captured the essence of what makes Spider-Man great. The relatable struggles, the witty banter, the friendly neighborhood hero.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fanboy who prefers simpler stories.
But I think there's something to be said for a superhero movie that doesn't need to save the entire universe to be enjoyable.
So, there you have it. My possibly controversial take on the Homecoming trilogy. What do you think? Am I totally wrong?
Let the debate begin!
