After making his highly praised MCU debut in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The film explored Peter Parker as a high school student as he attempted to prove himself to Tony Stark and stop a new villain named Vulture.
The movie proved that Holland was perfect for the role and embraced the fun of the young hero's adventures. Along with all the superhero action, the movie is a genuinely fun and energetic ride filled with so many great jokes. Here are the most memorable quotes from Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Updated on December 4th, 2021 by Colin McCormick: With the hugely anticipated release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans will undoubtedly be revisiting some of the past Spider-Man movies. While Spider-Man: Homecoming was not Peter Parker's introduction into the MCU, it served as the perfect first solo adventure that cemented Tom Holland's charming portrayal of the character. The funny, thrilling, and inspiring adventure of this version of Spider-Man is captured in the movie's many memorable quotes and shows why the MCU's version of Spider-Man has been such a hit with fans.
Ned Questions Peter
Ned: "Do You Lay Eggs?"
One of the main themes of other Spider-Man stories was Peter Parker hiding his superhero secret from everyone. That made for some great stories and struggles for the character, but Spider-Man: Homecoming showed how much fun it would be if Peter had a buddy to share the secret with.
Ned finds out Peter is Spider-Man very early in the movie and understandably has many questions for his friend. It is an interesting new way of approaching the superhero identity trope of these movies.
Toomes Takes A New Approach
Toomes: "The World's Changed Boys. Time We Change Too."
Vulture is one of Spider-Man's oldest villains but as he is brought to the big screen here, it is a clever reimagining of the character. Adrian Toomes is a blue-collar worker who is upset when the government takes over his job. And in many ways, he has a point.
But seeing a world in which aliens invade Earth and gods fly down from the skies, Toomes is a great example of how such an event can change people for the worse. It is at this moment that he puts aside his honest work and becomes a criminal.
Aaron Davis Has To Be Patient
Spider-Man: "That's Going To Dissolve In Two Hours."
Among the many great actors who pop up in smaller roles in the movie, Donald Glover has a hilarious part as Aaron Davis, a criminal who Spider-Man encounters. After sticking Aaron to his car with webbing, Spider-Man tries and fails to interrogate him.
However, Aaron has a softer side and agrees to give Spider-Man the information. After thanking him, Spider-Man tells Aaron the webbing will dissolve in a couple of hours. The scene is made even funnier as Aaron complains that he has ice cream in his car.
Toomes Learns Peter's Secret
Toomes: "Good Old Spider-Man."
As fun as it will be to see Michael Keaton return as Batman in The Flash, seeing him play the villain here was a blast. And his big moment to shine can with the terrific twist where he turns out to be the father of Peter's girlfriend.
As Toomes drives Peter and Liz to the school dance, their conversation begins to reveal too much. Keaton does a terrific job of switching from the typical dad to the unsettling villain as he realizes it is Spider-Man sitting in his backseat.
Peter Learns His New Tricks
Karen: "Activating Instant Kill."
With an upgraded suit, Peter is given his own A.I. to communicate with, much like Tony Stark's JARVIS or FRIDAY. In Peter's case, he name's his suit's system Karen and she helps him learn more about all the bells and whistles on his new outfit.
When Peter is attempting to confront some bad guys, Karen suggests he try his new enhanced combat mode which turns out to be "instant kill." While Peter is quick to shut that down, there is a great callback in Avengers: Endgame when he finally gets to use it.
Captain America's New Reputation
Coach Wilson: "Thank You, Captain. I'm Pretty Sure This Guys A War Criminal Now, But Whatever."
The movie has so much fun imagining what this world of superheroes would look like from a high school level. One of the cleverest and most hilarious details is Captain America doing lame high school PSAs.
Chris Evans really embraces the goofiness of the character in these videos. After Peter's gym teacher shows the class one of them, he points out that after the events of Civil War and Cap being on the run, he might not be the best role model anymore.
Tony Stark's Confusing Advice
Tony: "Just Don't Do Anything I Would Do. And Definitely Don't Do Anything I Wouldn't Do."
From the moment Tony Stark recruited Peter, their mentoring relationship has felt like a great addition to the MCU. This relationship continues in this film as Tony appears in a ing role.
After fighting together against Cap in Berlin, Peter is eager for the next mission and the next step to becoming an Avenger. Tony leaves Peter with the confusing advice that he should just learn to operate in a little grey area between what Tony would do and what he wouldn't do.
Mr. Harrington's Bad Trend
Mr. Harrington: "I Couldn't Bear To Lose A Student On A School Trip. Not Again."
Peter uses a school trip to Washington as a cover for pursuing the Vulture and his crew who are planning a heist in the area. However, things go wrong on the trip and Peter has to save his entire class from being killed.
With everyone returning home from the trip, their teacher chaperone Mr. Harrington shares his relief that everyone got home safe. But then he adds that this kind of thing might have happened to him before. The line is made funnier by the fact that it is not elaborated on at all.
Aaron Davies Shops For Tech
Aaron: "I'm Not Trying To Shoot Them Back In Time."
The movie is filled with so many great character actors popping up in small and fun roles throughout the film. One of the biggest surprises is Donald Glover, who plays Aaron Davis, a thief who has some fun comic book background.
In one of Glover's brief scenes, he is seen trying to buy weapons from Vulture's crews but is annoyed that they are trying to upsell him with high-tech equipment. After being shown an Ultron-inspired weapon, David remarks that he just needs something simple, "I'm not trying to shoot him back in time."
Ned's Ill-Advised Excuse
Ned: "I'm Looking At…Porn."
This movie gives fans one of the best MCU friendships between Peter and Ned. After accidentally discovering that Peter is Spider-Man, Ned jumps at the chance to help him out with his crime-fighting.
During the homecoming dance, Ned takes on the role of Peter's "guy in the chair", using the school computer to help Peter stop the Vulture. But when Ned is caught using the computer by one of the teachers, he panics and comes up with this rather awkward excuse.
