Beginning with Spider-Man 15 years ago, Peter Parker finally returned to his original home, Marvel, and returned to his original self, a high school student who was narcissistic and inferior, eager to prove himself.
The title's homecoming clearly welcomes the teenage IP's finally return from Sony to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a welcome gift, this indie movie from Marvel looks very grand, but when you look closely, it feels like it's not exquisitely done.
Good place first. It’s a good attempt to get younger Aunt May, and PP’s personal character has been successfully established. Although only Tony and Chili pepper come out to make soy sauce in the reunion, the US team contributed two promotional videos, but as a movie with a teenage protagonist, this The formation to help out is ready. A very important character design of the little bug is to pick up money behind Nini's ass. The previous two versions of Spider-Man could only be removed because of the IP relationship. Now it's very happy to make it up in this one. Fans of the same person are probably again Getting ready.
After two successive versions of the adult Spider-Man, the high school class Spider-Man's attempt is very interesting. With this new setting, the new topic of "children have superpowers" has been developed, and a greater room for play has been expanded on the main topic of "with great ability, great responsibility".
The bad points also appear in the "high school identity". During the school life part, I played repeatedly, and it felt that it was neither Spider-Man nor PP (which was erected in the previous paragraph). The audience could only understand that it was the actor himself. Spider-Man's most important love interest, MJ, was not handled at all. The frequency of watching this for the camera is obviously planned, but overall it feels that the character is forced into the story, and has no internal relationship with the protagonist at all (same as It's a school fringe or something, and it's not portrayed in any detail).
The sub-issue of the battle suit is handled both well and badly. The good part is that the helpless moment when PP is pressed under the floor, an image of "still a child" is instantly erected. The bad thing is that this issue itself is not an issue of PP, it is an issue of Tony (I used it in Iron Man 3), and the issue of PP is "learning and mastering the abilities you have and being aware of the responsibilities that your abilities represent." But on the other hand, in Xiao Zong's eyes, the battle suit represents Nini's recognition and the identity of the Avengers, which can be connected with the previous issue of "still a child". But the processing in the film is too hasty, and the audience will think (and I thought while watching) that it is really dependent on technology.
The villain is too pale, which is a consistent fault of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The setting of the villain's dual identity is very common, although I was surprised when PP knocked on the door and the villain opened the door. The plot did not establish a conflict on this basis, and the dialogue between the two in the car was super boring.
In general, this film will be liked by the audience of the age of the bug in the film, the details are not polished. But maybe because I'm older, the children will like this "rough stone" feeling extra?
For the main topic, Marvel's view is quite American, and children need to be stocked. Back in England, as soon as Harry and Tom were of age, the school was trying to get them in and show him how to use power. Marvel's side is that you have to use your strength to prove that you have won the qualification to join, and master the use of power in the process. Of course, this is also related to the original high school setting of Xiao Woo, and he has to learn this by himself. But as an audience cultivated under the traditional concept of domestic education, I think this is too cruel for children...
The result of this "stocking" is that at the end of the film, the worm's choice of refusing to obtain the identity of the Avengers and facing the public is very deliberate. The function of this ending in the film is inexplicable. Because at the beginning of the civil war, Xiao Zong chose the real-name system because he was with Nini...
The film as a whole has a very subtle feeling of "seeing the adult world from a child's perspective", thinking about "whether the world is black and white" during the establishment of personality and three views in adolescence. This point is briefly touched upon in the film, but it is not the focus. In fact, it can be expanded more. But maybe then this film will have a very strong didactic sense, and it will become annoying to the little devils.
As part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the film successfully continued the main theme of Team America 3, and the conflicting identities of Team America's "official patriots and folk despisers" further helped pave the way for the upcoming Avengers III, which is a multi-role universe. advantage. The suggestion of "who watch the watchers" was mentioned a little by the villain, but because the opponent is a child's PP, he didn't catch it at all, because PP is still in the early stage of exploring his abilities.
Finally, the theme of PP is always "Power and Responsibility", and the film has inherited this precious legacy quite well. Extending from this point down is "children have the ability", and extending up is "what is a superhero", which is a very link between the previous and the next, so it is a very important step in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, welcome home, little bug!
