* Peter's science classroom has a pictures of various famous scientists that follows the FamousFamousFictional trope, and has a picture of Bruce Banner prominently displayed alongside other renowned scientists like Darwin, Einstein, Tesla, and Newton. It's nice to know that despite all the fear the public has towards the Hulk, it doesn't change the fact that the scientific community still views Dr. Bruce Banner as one of the greatest minds in the world. Especially since, in most continuities have his reputation ruined and the scientific community's esteem for him very low because of the Hulk.

It's nice to know that despite all the fear the public has towards the Hulk, it doesn't change the fact that the scientific community still views Dr. Bruce Banner as one of the greatest minds in the world. The mural in Peter's school has not only Howard Stark on it, but Dr. Abraham Erskine, the man who created the Super Soldier serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. It's a nice tribute to a man who didn't seem to get much recognition for his work.
** In Bruce Banner's case it's especially heartwarming, as most continuities have his reputation ruined and the scientific community's esteem for him very low because of the Hulk.

Not only are the setting and characters well-done (for a crayon drawing), but the kid even went as far as to include [[BadassNormal Hawkeye and Black Widow]], the less "popular" Avengers (at least in their world). This gives a glimpse of how the Avengers' heroism won the hearts of many people, particularly children.

* The Thai restaurant scene has a picture of King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej, who actually passed away before the movie's release. Bearing in mind that Thailand has never really approved of Hollywood's interpretation of its monarchs since ''Film/TheKingAndI'', it's heartwarming and a little unusual that a more respectful nod to his legacy is in ''a superhero movie''.

* Tom Holland's statement that if the future Spider-Man films ever get into this incarnation's backstory, he wants Creator/TobeyMaguire to play Uncle Ben. It's a small thing, but seeing how so much of the fandom insists on there being a "rivalry" between the three cinematic Spider-man series, what with praising one film series and trashing the others for triviality (Marvel Studios didn't even EXIST at the time Sam Raimi made his Spider-Man movies), it's rather nice that the actual people in charge at Marvel want to treat with respect ALL of the film series. For Pete's sake, if Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man hadn't been a success back in 2002, there probably wouldn't have been an MCU at all later on.

* Peter gets a date to homecoming. Cut to him sliding sideways into view of a doorway from insufficient friction with the words "May, I need your help." Funny, yes, but also absolutely beautiful. Peter's been spending Bor knows how long keeping his Spider-life a secret. The ''second'' he has a problem that Aunt May '''can''' help him with, he jumps on the opportunity to ask her for help.

* 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 (the cheaply made, no gadgets spider suit) and take the fight to him immediately, for no reason other than because it's the right thing to do.
