as a big fan of both Spider-Man and NPMD, I did notice how much the two characters overlap. Nerds, specifically science nerds. Both called Peter. Similar dress sense (in high school, at least). Plus, Pete even does a little Spider-man motion in the show. anyway, on to my actual point. Pete, like early comic Peter, has outbursts, a popular girl love interest, bullied by a jock, confident in his good grades…

meanwhile, in the home trilogy, Tom’s Peter has no real anger that feels reminiscent of real teenage frustration (a lot, I do think he has his moments, mostly thanks to Tom’s stellar performance.) he has an MJ, but she’s also a nerd? I love zendaya and their dynamic (even though we know like nothing about MCU MJ but that’s for another day.) but it’s just not that dynamic people love them for. Flash is as much of a geek as Peter and doesn’t really feel like a bully. Also, we don’t really get any context as to Peter’s school life grades-wise.

I can’t remember what my original point was with this post so here you are i guess!
