"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is the first personal movie after Spider-Man returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It no longer tells the familiar stories of the Green Devils and the origin of Spider-Man. The appearance of many new villains, the interaction between Little Spider and the Avengers, new classmates and emotional relationships, there are too many easter eggs to say...

At the age of seven, Joe Watts began to read Marvel comics. Spider-Man is his favorite story-a child who gains superpowers does not instantly become a superhero, but needs to deal with problems from family and school. If you live a life blow, you will face the bad guys alone.

Now, his dream came true, he was able to film his favorite Spider-Man story, and did his homework, intentionally or unintentionally inserted more than 60 easter eggs in the movie.

The new villains start to do bad things

1. In the comics, the vulture is one of Spider-Man’s top villains, an elderly inventor, a strong air fighter, and a green body. In the movie, he only has the night vision eyepiece glowing green, but retains the sharp claws and the characteristic vulture collar. The actor Michael Keaton who plays the vulture is the Batman in the 1989 movie "Batman" and the male protagonist of "Birdman".

2. The first egg after the movie ended, "Vulture" met Mac Gargan in prison. According to his name and the scorpion tattoo on his neck, it can be basically confirmed that he is " Scorpion " (Scorpion). Mac Gargan is a private investigator who was hired by Jonah Jameson, owner of the Daily Horn, to investigate the true identity of Spider-Man. Because the nemesis of the spider is the Scorpion, he wore a high-tech scorpion combat suit to catch him. Catch Spider-Man, and then slowly be eroded by the scorpion brain and become a villain.

3. In the comics, both the vulture and the scorpion were once members of the evil six . The Evil Six is ​​a team of villains formed by "Doctor Octopus" to deal with Spider-Man. The villains "Venom" (Venom), "Sandman" (Sandman) and "Electro" (Electro) were all members. Sony once announced the movie plan of the evil six, but after Spider-Man returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the plan seemed to be stranded. From the perspective of easter eggs, more members of the evil six will appear in subsequent Spider-Man movies.

4, Mason (Phineas Mason), early Spider-Man comic villain. A genius engineer in the mechanical field, he can get inspiration from anything, invent many powerful weapons and props, and arm a large number of Spider-Man villains. In the movie, Mason is a master of vultures, manufacturing all the equipment of vultures, and often encourages vultures to use more complex technology to continue to upgrade their equipment.

5, the film was vulture kill men " Thriller " (Shocker), is one of the early comic villain Spider-Man appeared, there are only two vibrations emit light, the destruction of the earth boxing gloves and rolled winds. Shock horror movie glove is crossbones (Crossbones) have been used, but here we only have a two gloves how of it? In "Captain America 3: Civil War", the US team removed one glove and threw it aside (it is estimated to be taken by the horror) before the crossbones were executed, and the remaining one exploded with its owner.

6. Aaron Davis, who was "severely interrogated" by Spider-Man in the underground garage, wanted to buy weapons from Thriller. Because he didn't want the "nephew living in the annex" to be harmed by the vulture's evil plan, he agreed to help Spider-Man. His nephew is Miles Morales (Miles Morales). In the ultimate universe, after Peter Parker was killed while preventing the "Green Devils" from harming his family, Miles inherited the Spider-Man identity. Does this easter egg imply that Miles will be added to the follow-up movie? By the way, Sony is currently considering making an animated film for Miles.

7. In the movie, Aaron's license plate number is UCSM01, which is the abbreviation of the comic "Ultimate Comics Spider-Man No. 1," and Miles also appeared in this universe. Aaron Davis publicly declared that he wanted to play Spider-Man a long time ago. He also participated in an audition in 2010 without success. But the image of black Spiderman inspired Marvel. They designed Miles in 2011, and Aaron also made a voice for the role of Miles in the ultimate Spider-Man animation.

8. When Aaron was marked on the window of the spider suit, "Brian Pichelli" appeared on the screen. This may be a tribute to the creators of Miles Morales, cartoonists Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli.

9. After Miles became Spider-Man, a new character, Ganke Lee , appeared in the comics . He is Miles’ best friend and loves Lego. He can’t keep the secret that Miles is Spider-Man, and he knows a superhero. This thing is very proud, the personality is very similar to Peter's best friend Ned Leeds in the movie . In the main comic universe, Ned Leeds has a mild personality, but was brainwashed to become a "Hobgoblin" and then killed.

10. Ned asks Peter if he can lay eggs or summon an army of spiders. This is undoubtedly a tribute to "Ant-Man." In the conversation, he also mentioned "Can you vomit venom?" Although there is no direct connection, Venom is also one of the classic villains in Spider-Man.

11. The Death Star Lego 10188 , which Ned and Peter put together , is recognized as a highly difficult (price) Lego. It consists of 3,803 building blocks, including a rotating laser turret, a laser cannon being launched, and many details such as the Imperial Conference Hall. .

12. On the wall of Peter's bedroom, there is the flag of his favorite baseball team-the New York Mets, as well as the AT-AT Walker in Star Wars . In "Captain America: Civil War", Spider-Man used the "foot-tie" tactics used by the Rebels against AT-AT in "Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back" to deal with the giant Ant-Man. After the "Star Wars" series copyright was acquired by Disney, Marvel movies began to appear star wars.

13. Unlike the past, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" avoids the frontal portrayal of Uncle Ben's death. There are only a few hints: Peter asks Ned not to tell Aunt May his true identity "so much has happened to her..." because he fears that it will put pressure on her. This time the movie did not emphasize the classic line "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility ". It first appeared in the 1962 comic "Amazing Fantasy#15". Peter discovered that he had not stopped the criminal and later killed his uncle. This became the death of Spider-Man, and this sentence appears in almost all Spider-Man movies.

In "Captain America: Civil War", Spider-Man appears in front of the Avengers for the first time , but they think that the young Spider-Man is more like a burden, and Iron Man also thinks he is unreliable. Therefore, at the beginning of "Spider-Man: Homecoming", he was not allowed to join the Avengers.

18. In the movie, the vulture buried Peter in the rubble. He was dying and raised up the ruins after he kept suggesting " I am Spider-Man with or without a uniform ".
