hello if you like this I will tell you a thing I like about peter (this is me trying to get better about talking about him cause I donāt ans I want to train my brain itās okay to tell people about him)
heās the underdog!! you donāt expect him to be the hero, heās not the typical hero type heās just a nerdy teenager trying to get on with life
heās super smart but thatās not his entire personality trait, he reminds me that I can still be a nerd and do other things/not look like the stereotypical nerd
heās passionate about what he loves and all the projects he undertakes, even if theyāre not hero related he throws himself into them! like when he spent all that time making up the Death Star with Ned
Iāve loved peter parker since I was 3 and my mum taught me the lyrics to the soidey theme song in our kitchen and so Iāve always had this ideal picture of him and his personality in my mind as a kid/reading the comics, the mcu version of him is what Iāve seen since I was little
he loves his friends and family, his first priority is to always make sure theyāre safe
he never brags. heās using his powers to help people, not because theyāre cool or to show off like most other teenagers would and he hides his face so that all the attention goes on his deeds and not himself
heās soft and kind and caring just as much as he is courageous and strong! itās a really nice balance
he freaks out over Star Wars and Doctor Who and all kinds of nerdy space things, he collects figures and memorabilia and displays them all proudly in his room, he and Ned have weekly movie nights where they watch all their fave space films :D
building on that he cares about MJ so much that he literally sold all of his collectibles (bar a few) so he could afford a handmade glass necklace of her favourite flower for her and made sure he kept it safe throughout all of his fights, it only broke when he gave it to Happy!
heās creative!! in the comics/non mcu franchise he works as a photographer for the daily bugle and in the MCU Spider-Man app you can access his phone gallery to see all the photos heās taken, there are some stunning pics honestly
he actually did take up an internship at stark tower!! alongside doing his actual āinternshipā work as Spidey he would go work at the tower and help Tony out with developing new tech
heās funny and quick witted, especially when he takes on the Spider-Man persona, heās not taking it all as seriously as the other superheroes heās just having fun and helping people out
he is bi in the comics!! did yāall know that??? one iteration of peter parker is in a relationship with johnny storm from the fantastic four!!
I believe tom has also said that if he is bi in the comics then his iteration/future iterations should also be seen as bi I canāt remember exactly what he said or when though
no one else has liked this but phie wants to read more n I am on a roll
just,,, this scene in ffh where heās so intent on improving things and making them better so that he can get his suit just right
oh!!! oh!!! when he didnāt have any access to advanced technology when he first got his powers but still wanted to help people he just made his own suit!!! like stuck together what was basically a onesie and goggles and made his own web shooters!!
heās a friendly NEIGHBOURHOOD Spider-Man and he learns that thatās where he belongs and so passes up the big opportunity to become an avenger to look out for the little guy
when the bodega across the street from his crime scene was on fire and he immediately ran in to save mr delmar and his cat

also the way he visits mr delmar everyday for his sandwich (canyersquishitdownrealflat?) and sour gummy worms, supporting local businesses!! we love to see!!
also the way he can be so sarcastic and funny even as Peter Parker, like when mr delmar was talking about how his aunt was a āhot Italian ladyā to his coworkers in Spanish and he immediately responded with āComo esta tĆŗ hija, eh?ā (āhowās your daughter?ā in Spanish)
aight I am about to get emotional over this and itās probably going to span over a few tweets but it is time for cmon spider-man. here is the scene for reference
this is my favourite film scene of all time. homecoming is one of my favourite films yes that is established but this scene. nothing will ever beat it for me.
he has just gone out there to face a massive, suped up villain that he has been warned not to fight with no help, no backup and no suit. itās just him, his powers and his little diy suit that he grabbed from under his locker before running out without a plan.
his defences are low, heās trapped, heās got no one to help him and has been left for dead, you can heaR the panic and fear in his voice and then he looks up and sees himself in the reflection and his torn apart mask and he realises that heās always been Spider-Man
heās always been brave, heās always been courageous, he looks out for the little guy because he WAS the little guy, the guy that gets bullied on the daily and still goes out and saves the world and he looks at himself and he wills himself to get up
he has a plan, he just doesnāt know it yet and he channels every last bit of his super strength into getting out of there and working out his plan, heās cheering himself on!! and he switches from cāmon peter to cāmon Spider-Man so effortlessly when he realises heās worth it and
his confidence grows!! you want to cheer him on too! heās going to do it!! anyone can be Spider-Man!! thatās the point of it!! anyone can wear the mask!! so you can do it too!! cāmon Spider-Man!!
phie I hope this is enough for u cause I think Iāve exhausted everything I can think of for 2am lmao
