History TearJerker / SpiderManHomecoming

* In that same scene, Ned drops his completed LEGO Death Star in shock. Anyone who has built LEGOs know exactly how much work were just ruined. Becomes a Heartwarming Moment when Peter helps rebuild it.

'''Peter''': You don't understand, please, please, please, this is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit.\\

** Peter calls out Tony for not listening to him and having no trust in him or his abilities. Just as Peter thinks that Tony's not in the suit, Tony emerges from it, causing Peter to retreat, and tears into Peter over how he went behind his back and disobeyed him.
--->'''Tony:''' Previously on "Peter Screws the Pooch": I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multi-million dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back doing the ''one thing'' I told you not to do.\\
'''Peter''': Is everyone okay?\\
'''Tony''': No thanks to you.\\
'''Peter''': "No thanks to me"?! Those weapons were out there and I tried to tell you about it, but you didn't listen. None of this wouldn't have happened if you had just ''listened'' to me! If you even cared, you'd actually be here.\\
''[[[ArmorPiercingResponse Tony emerges from the suit, much to Peter's shock]]]''\\
'''Tony''': I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid.\\

'''Tony''': No, this is where you zip it, alright?! The adult is talking! What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that's on ''you''! [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar And if you died... I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience.]]

* Despite the fact that Spider-Man was awesome in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Peter still feels like he needs to impress Tony. [[SoProudOfYou Tony's already impressed]], [[AdultFear but is more concerned about bringing a child into his world]].

* Throughout the movie, whenever Peter has to make a choice between his personal life and his duties as Spider-Man, he will always pick being Spider-Man. While it's true he is trying to show off to Tony, it's also clear that he's taking the whole "ComesGreatResponsibility" thing very seriously, as much as it pains him to abandon his friends and family.

In every medium of ''Spider-Man'', the life of Peter Parker is not always easy, and often filled with moments like these. And ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' is no different.

--->'''Peter:''' I lost the Stark internship. I screwed up.

* The second trailer seems to imply a NotSoDifferent moment with the Vulture as he says he'll do anything to protect his family, and (possibly after learning Peter's identity) goes on with "I know you know what I'm talking about."

* Another reason for why Peter can't tell Aunt May about being Spider-Man: she's apparently still mourning Uncle Ben's death and the last thing she needs to hear is that her only nephew is risking his life on a daily basis.

* All of Tony's scenes from the trailer. He's clearly holding himself together from the aftermath of the previous film, where Pepper left him, he found out who killed his parents, and the Avengers fell apart so that half have gone into hiding and the other half have gone their separate ways. Also, Tony's well-aware that he played into Zemo's hands and couldn't stop himself from attempting to murder Bucky and Cap. Peter might be all he has left, and Peter makes it clear he wants to fight and keep going.

* The second trailer seems to imply a NotSoDifferent moment with the Vulture as he says he'll do anything to protect his family, and (possibly after learning Peter's identity) goes on with "I know you know what I'm talking about."
* While somewhat amusing and heartwarming, the scene where Peter and May have to watch a Website/YouTube video to learn how to tie Peter's tie has an undercurrent of sadness when one thinks how, if he was still alive, Uncle Ben would have likely been the one to teach Peter how to do so.
** [[FridgeLogic Whose suit do you suppose that was that Peter wears to homecoming?]]
** If it wasn't Uncle Ben's, it was probably the same suit Peter wore to his funeral.
** The suit could even have belonged to [[DisappearedDad Peter's dad]].

* When Ned discovers that Peter is Spider-Man, he wonders why he's not told Aunt May. Peter points out that Aunt May would never accept him going out every day and endangering his own life, especially after all she's been through. While he never specifically states what event he's referring to, it's clear that both he and Aunt May are still reeling from Uncle Ben's death.

'''Tony''': And I wanted you to be better.

-->'''Tony''': Sorry doesn't cut it.

--->'''Tony''': Nice work, kid.

* The opening scene that shows [[StartOfDarkness why Toomes became the Vulture]]. He originally was a regular construction worker who was hired to help clean up after [[Film/TheAvengers2012 the Chitauri invasion]], only for the Department of Damage Control to suddenly yank the job from him and his employees. Toomes pleads with them that he had to use his own money and equipment to do this job, but [[YankTheDogsChain is rudely cast off by one of the agents]]. The situation is all-too familiar to anybody who's been let go from their job because of large conglomerates or government agencies absorbing their workload--especially since the contract had already been signed and they decided to hand it to someone with [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]].
-->'''Herman Schultz''': So now the assholes who made this mess are getting ''paid'' to clean it up.
** The fact that the whole incident with Toomes and the Vulture could have been avoided if Damage Control had just ''bought out his contract''. There's no reason but ''malice'' that Damage Control couldn't do it, and realistically, they should have done it anyway, unless the point was to make people suffer. Toomes' contract with the city might be overridden by the federal department, but why they didn't ''at least'' reimburse him for the costs he already incurred in starting to do ''their job'' can only be because they didn't care, or they wanted to hurt the little guys trying to do clean up.
* Spider-Man patrolling the crime-free Queens is PlayedForLaughs, but unless the circumstances are radically different, Uncle Ben still died from a random incident that Peter could have stopped.
* Consider everything about the bank robbery. It explains why Peter stopped to check if Mr. Delmar was alive without a second thought, because with how close their relationship is, it would've been like losing an uncle for a second time. The details aren't clear behind Uncle Ben's death, but if it's anything like his comic book counterpart, imagine how devastated Peter would've been if this had been a burglary he actually tried to stop, but someone still died anyway? May telling him to turn and run if he ever came across a situation like that and Ned mentioning that he could've died just making Peter all the more conflicted; if he doesn't try to stop crime, other people could be hurt, but then there's the possibility of him being killed and putting his aunt through the one thing he never wanted to because he's been lying to her.
** And the first thing Peter did after the bank robbery? Made a call to Happy to try and talk to Tony about the weapons. Being told if he gets in over his head to stay out of anything too dangerous without it said exactly what that is, he has to act responsibly. It's no wonder Peter was so desperate to talk to Tony: getting some definition on that "a little grey area" would've helped. It's no wonder Peter started acting so recklessly after his encounter with Vulture; Tony telling him to contact Happy if he came across those weapons again when Happy clearly said to stop calling sends some mixed messages.

In every medium of ''Spider-Man'', the life of Peter Parker is not always easy, and often filled with moments like these. And ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'' is no different.

** The fact that the whole incident with Toombs and the Vulture could have been avoided if Damage Control had just ''bought out his contract''. There's no reason but ''malice'' that Damage Control couldn't do it, and realistically, they should have done it anyway, unless the point was to make people suffer. Toombs' contract with the city might be overridden by the federal department, but why they didn't ''at least'' reimburse him for the costs he already incurred in starting to do ''their job'' can only be because they didn't care, or they wanted to hurt the little guys trying to do clean up.

* The fact that Peter's relationship with Liz ends on such a sour note. Not only is she still heartbroken that Peter ditched her at the dance, but her father is going to jail and she's forced to move with her mother to Oregon.

* Poor MJ. A lot of tearjerker there. Going back to the scene where the students are exercising in the gym after watching Captain America's video. Watch MJ. She's reading a book and paying no attention to the video. Later on, when everyone is exercising, she's just laying on her back lifting the book away from her and then back to her face. While it might be intended as a FunnyBackgroundEvent, notice she's the only one who doesn't have a workout partner and no one is paying any attention to her. Remember when she said she didn't have any friends? She literally doesn't. Throughout the film, until the very end when she joins the team to take Liz's place,the only time anyone ever notices or interacts with her is when she speaks up first. Try as she might to hide it, she clearly is pining for Peter but has absolutely no idea how to approach him or even have a conversation with him or anyone else. She uses sarcasmThe fact that Peter is only focused on Liz, Ned, Aunt May, and being Spider-Man doesn't help. She knows Peter's schedule, goes to detention just to be close to him, knows what's going on in his life, and has absolutely no one to talk to. Beneath the sarcasm is a a very lonely young girl. Want more proof? At the Homecoming Dance, when Peter walks in, MJ gives him a big smile, then flips him off. Meant to be funny, but she's there without a date. The smile is because she's happy to see him, giving him the finger is her way of saying "I would have loved to come to the dance with you, if only you had asked me..."

'''Peter''': ''[crestfallen]'' No...no, no, please, please, please.\\

* While somewhat amusing and heartwarming, the scene where Peter and May have to watch a YouTube video to learn how to tie Peter's tie has an undercurrent of sadness when one thinks how, if he was still alive, Uncle Ben would have likely been the one to teach Peter how to do so.
