6 Spoiler-Free Reasons You Should Go And See Spider-Man: Homecoming
Bright Cove

Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming hit theaters July 7th, 2017 and it's become a summer box office hit. Set after the events in Captain America: Civil War, it follows our friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man (Tom Holland) as he tries to balance being a high school student and being a superhero. If you aren't sold on the movie yet, here are 6 reasons you should definitely see Spider-Man: Homecoming.

1. The star-studded cast


The cast is packed with stars like Robert Downey Jr, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Holland and Marisa Tomei, just to name a few. Alongside them are many up-and-comers, like Laura Harrier and Jacob Batalon, who I'm sure we'll be seeing more of in the future. With such an amazing cast, it's hard to imagine that this movie would be anything less.

2. The diversity

Along with being full of stars, the cast is also extremely diverse. Peter's friends to his mentors and his adversaries, the casting of the movie was thankfully, not whitewashed. If only other Hollywood blockbusters would do the same...

3. It's a relatable, coming-of-age story

Along with being an almost-Avenger, Peter is also a high school student. When he's not dealing with villains and crime, he's dealing with homework and his first crush, things that regular, non-superhero students like you and me have had to deal with at one time or another. It's not just another superhero movie, it's also a coming-of-age movie.

4. The new Spidey suit

Web wings (!!!!!), a spider drone, an artificial intelligence assistant, and 576 possible web-shooter combinations, all courtesy of Tony Stark, so Spider-Man's suit is ready for anything.

5. It's the best cinematic version of Spider-Man


Sorry, not sorry, Toby and Andrew. Tom Holland's Peter Parker is age appropriate and embodies the awkward, relatable, teenage Spidey that we know and love. Since it's in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we get to see Spider-Man in action with other heroes, like Iron Man. The Marvel-Studios-backed Sony movie also has the support of the MCU franchise, giving it another leg-up on the other cinematic Spideys. If you don't believe me that this will be the best one, check out the Rotten Tomatoes scores.

6. It's Spider-Man.


Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to be one of the biggest movies of the summer, and for good reason, especially since it earned $117 million for its opening weekend, making it the third highest of the year. But if you're still on the fence, check out the trailers for the movie, and I'm sure you'll change your mind. So make sure you go see Peter Parker battle high school by day and crime by night at a theater near you, you won't regret it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
