** That scene is just the epitome of what makes him Spider-Man. He's gotten the shit beaten out of him by Toomes multiple times, Toomes has made it clear that he would gleefully kill him if he needs to, and in fact the only reason he ''doesn't'' is because he's distracted by one of the shipping boxes. [[spoiler:And yet Peter fights to his last breath to prevent him from dying, [[SelfDisposingVillain even if it's by his own stupidity and greed.]]

* In ''Civil War'', Spidey is rarely glimpsed in his homemade costume except in blurry [=YouTube=] videos and tries to hide his primitive costume and web-shooters from Tony. Here, Spidey works ''way'' more openly. The costume Tony built for him was a huge boost to the kid's confidence.

* During Peter's video diary of the events of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', we get to see the moment when he gets the Spider-Man suit. Peter is almost speechless when Happy tells him the suit is his and tells the camera this is the greatest day of his life.
* Peter bonding with his suits A.I. which he dubs Karen. Much like Tony and Jarvis the two manage to have a close relationship. Unlike Jarvis though Karen is much more encouraging and even tries to help Peter with his love life. All this actually makes it sadder when Tony takes the suit back.

* Peter's decision to ditch the dance and go after the Vulture. Bear in mind, Toomes had effectively given him an out, saying he'd leave Peter alone so long as Peter didn't antagonize him. Heck, he doesn't even really have any personal stakes in the matter. However, Peter doesn't hesitate to get into his spider suit and take the fight to him immediately, for no reason other than because it's the right thing to do.

In context of the movie, it's clear Tony *wasn't* lying about not hugging Peter.


* Tony actually giving Peter a hug, even if he tries to cover it up by saying [[BlatantLies he's just pushing the car door]].
** And he brushes it off by saying they're not at that point ''yet'', implying that Tony already knows he's going to end up getting over-attached to this kid.
** It's also nice for Tony, especially after the events of the [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar last movie he was in]], as he probably needs all the new friends he can get.
** Also, the fact that Tony is trying to make sure Peter is a better hero than him by not making the mistakes he made and trying to avoid making him into a {{Child Soldier|s}} like he did in ''Civil War'', having realized that it was wrong.

* It's quite sweet that, despite being in possession of abilities most 15-year olds would give their eye teeth for, Peter genuinely enjoys hanging around with Ned and building LEGO models with him. You'd expect him to blow off someone like Ned in favour of doing something to increase his standing at school - certainly he has both the physical and mental capability. But no; Spider-Man or not, Ned and Peter are TrueCompanions.
