** The choice of Vulture and Shocker as the villains of the film in the first place can be seen as both an awesome moment and a TakeThat to Sony. Marvel finaly got to use their most famous super hero in the MCU, and instead of using one of his more famous foes they took two of the least known villians and made one of the best spiderman movies yet.

* During the first stinger scene, [[spoiler:Toomes runs into Gargan in prison and Gargan suggests using his contacts on the outside to kill Spider-Man since he heard a rumor that Toomes knows who he really is. While Toomes lied that he doesn't know Spider-Man's secret identity this is basically a tease that the MCU will get its own version of the Sinister Six soon.]]

** This needs to be elaborated upon. [[spoiler: Peter spends one hell of a time trying to tie his web to every hard support of the ferry in an attempt to hold it together. It seems to have worked, but it left Peter exhausted. Then Karen informed him that he missed ''one'' support of the ferry, and it leads to his webs breaking apart and causing the ferry to sink again. Peter then desperately tries to hold the whole thing together by himself a-la Tobey-Spidey holding the runaway train in ''Spider-Man 2''. Suddenly, Iron Man himself and his boosters come out of nowhere and put the ship back together and weld the damaged parts, all done effortlessly in less than a minute. It shows how much difference there is between a veteran superhero like Iron Man and a newbie still learning the ropes like Spidey in dealing with dangerous situations.]]

* Tony displays how much he's taken his hard-earned lessons across the franchise to heart: [[Film/IronMan "If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it."]] Even better, Peter takes on Vulture in his beta and actually seems to be able to hold his own (at least on the second try).

* On May 19th, composer Creator/MichaelGiacchino posted a video of the orchestra recording a snippet of his score for the film, and it might actually top Music/DannyElfman's work. Why?

* When Vulture blasts the ferry in half and Peter struggles to hold it together, [[spoiler: Tony does one ''hell'' of an entrance in the nick of time. Peter is using dozens of weblines and failing, then on-cue several repulsor boosters fly into the screen and stabilize the ship. The scene then shifts to a window, where Iron Man is in a brand-new armor, reminiscent of the one from the Ultimate comics, thus providing a double MythologyGag as the scene reminds comic fans of the time when he pushed away a Chitauri ship.]]

** It wasn't just that he [[spoiler: managed to pull off such a hair-brained nigh suicidal stunt]], but that he had the courage to make the attempt. Unlike most other iterations of SpiderMan, this one isn't immune to vertigo or fear of heights, and Karen makes it explicitly clear that a single misstep would be certain death. When Peter quips "I'm gonna die!" just before leaping, it isn't hyperbole; it's honest ''fear''. Yet he still makes a jump he dosn't think he can land, using tricks he's never tested, all for a desperate plan he has no confidence in succeeding. [[spoiler: Actually saving the day was icing on the cake; the real victory was having the guts to try]].
