December 8th, 2016 marks the date that everybody in the world turned to the Internet to watch a music video for MGMT. He’s back; not in black, and only fifty (?) percent through Sony. The other half, Marvel. Fans can rejoice— Spiderman is coming home. Let’s just hope the third time’s the charm.

This isn’t the first we’ve seen of the newest live action take on the web-slinger. Audiences were treated to a refreshing and spectacular (not amazing) Spiderman, played by Tom Holland, in “Captain America: Civil War”, as one of Tony Stark’s secret weapons in the dispute over registration. These trailers, however, give us our first look at the atmosphere that the character will have while carrying his own movie, and like Marvel does, it isn’t light on heart. What excites me the most, however, is just how momentous it is that Marvel has creative control over the characters, once owned solely by separate production company, Sony. What does this mean? Well, potentially our most comic book accurate Peter Parker/Spiderman ever. I’ll explain.

We all know the story. We’ve seen it twice now: nerdy kid with a camera just can’t seem to get by in school, the girl won’t notice him, the bullies do. Super spider bites, nerdy kid fights. Uncle Ben is shot, and the lesson is learned— with great power, comes great responsibility. Nerdy kid then acts on this lesson and uses great power to face powerful foes. Supposedly, “Homecoming” will not include the backstory that we all know so well, but instead will play on the other crucial aspects of Peter Parker’s life as he comes to grips with the reality of being a superhero. Coping with his powers, the death of his uncle, and trying to get the girl, whether she be redhead, blonde, or brunette.

In Sam Raimi’s “Spiderman” trilogy, lead by Toby Maguire, one of the first bouts with power that our hero embarks on is a quest for revenge. When this doesn’t quite go as planned, the weight of his “great power” comes down, and Peter decides to use his gifts for good. He is then forced to save New York City from the likes of his best friend’s father, the Green Goblin; supergenius physicist Doctor Octopus; escaped convict Sandman; and professional rival Venom, in that order, all post-graduation. Raimi’s trilogy is 2/3rds perfect, though it differs from the age-old source material where Peter Parker is out of high school and somehow generates web fluid out of his own body.

In Marc Webb’s “Amazing” series, lead by Andrew Garfield, the same backstory is shown, but not as well. Peter Parker learns the same lesson from Uncle Ben, but not as well. Then Peter faces the death of his uncle, but not as well. And he uses his great power to once again face a mad, green scientist, but not as well. He’s still in high school here, and shoots webbing from devices on his wrists, much like the comics. But, the movies are horrible, and wholly contributed to a phenomenal actor riding the metro train that is his career off the tracks and into the Hudson River to end a franchise after two terrible films.

With “Spiderman: Homecoming”, John Watts directs our youngest wall-crawler yet. Peter Parker back in high school, sitting at the geek table where he belongs. Safe to assume the film takes place after the events of “Civil War”, Peter is adapting to life with his great power (with a little help from Tony Stark), though still hasn’t found a way to up his game. He’s no skater, he’s no tough guy. He’s a kid who’s almost pretending to be a superhero, just doing a really good job at it. He may not be an Avenger, but for somebody with such great power, he’s handling his responsibilities quite well.

For the first time on film, we’re also being treated to the Vulture, who —in the comics— is the first real threat Spiderman faces. While on the page, he lacks a certain menace required to be taken seriously, he’s pretty much terrifying in this universe. Played by Academy Award nominee Michael Keaton (“Batman”, “Birdman”), Adrian Toomes is a high-time thief with giant high-tech wings that make Falcon look like a robot chicken. So right off the bat, Marvel takes the opportunity to use their creative control to spin a Spiderman story almost perfectly intact with the tale that so many fans love, while adapting it for the modern and general audience.

It’s still too soon to tell, but “Spiderman: Homecoming” looks to be the truest Spiderman movie we’ve ever received. He may be heavily saturated (This is the third different Peter Parker in ten years), but only because one thing has always been true: Spiderman sells. I’ll hold my reservations for how good of an overall movie this will be, but I’ll bet Aunt May’s life it’s at least enjoyable. He’s friendly. He’s spectacular. He may not be avenging anything, but he’s still the hero every kid needs.

“Spiderman: Homecoming” hits theaters July 7th, 2017.
