Spider-Man: Homecoming

It is difficult to get enthusiastic about another relaunch of an old franchise about an old superhero. But then, when Spider-Man: Homecoming arrived, introducing Spider-Man into the Marvel universe, we all became certain that this one would be worth the wait. By omitting the character's familiar origin tale, the series had a new start that benefited Peter Parker's growth better and provided a more solid platform for the sequel.

In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter, MJ, Ned, and the rest of the group were convincing in the roles of their high school students, since they were eccentric and still discovering the world in an exciting and practical way. And as much as the anguish that is baked into Spider-Man's DNAs, Tom Holland created a lighter, almost annoyingly cheerful Peter Parker, like the exuberant younger sibling you can't help but adore.

Plus, Adrian Toomes is one of the greatest, most fascinating, and unquestionably menacing antagonists that the MCU has presented so far, since his reasons for resorting to a life beyond the law had quite a fair punch.
