Why Homecoming is Tom Holland’s only true Spider-Man movie
Spider-Man: Homecoming stands apart from Tom Holland’s other MCU outings by centering on Peter Parker’s Queens life rather than globe-trotting or multiverse stakes. The film foregrounds street-level heroism and everyday school scenes, elements that Far From Home and No Way Home largely set aside.
Good news for viewers: Homecoming is streaming for free on Tubi. Adrian Toomes, the Vulture, helps keep the film grounded. A blue-collar salvage worker who turns to selling alien weapons after being pushed out of construction by Tony Stark and the Department of Damage Control, he provides a personal, working-class foil to Peter.
Their final confrontation in Coney Island, with Spider-Man relying on his homemade suit, underlines the movie’s scrappy, neighborhood focus. By contrast, Mysterio’s revenge and the nostalgia-driven villains in No Way Home feel less tied to Holland’s version of Spider-Man.
