How do I ever begin to describe the events of Marvel’s culminating blockbuster Avengers: Endgame without stepping too far into the dark and dangerous territory of the accursed spoilers?
Spider-Man: Homecoming announces itself as a brash, exhilarating, hilarious, and amazingly assured film that immediately lines up with the upper tier of the MCU.
Not only is this film set six months after the first film, through later interactions with Fury, we discover that it is occurring at the same time as The Incredible Hulk and that Stark's father was a founding member of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The first step on the road to The Avengers was taken in 2006, as actor/director Jon Favreau was hired to direct Marvel's first independent production, Iron Man.
This time around, though there were punches, new tech, new super-heroes, spectacular revelations about the deceased Howard Stark and a development in the relationship between two of the main characters, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, I did not jump on my seat at the end of the movie.
