Not sure I buy that. I think they are different because Marvel wanted them to be different, simple as that. They wanted the cast to be somewhat representative of the actual NYC population.
Regarding the changes in characters and story; the story writers for Spider-Man Homecoming, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, already fleshed out what they wanted to do differently without repeating things already in this article: WebCite query result
Here’s a weird fact I just noticed: Apparently Far From Home's budget of $160 million is $15 million cheaper than Homecoming's, which was $175 million. Interesting...
So here's a theory... We know that Spoiler Happy and Aunt May are dating now...what if Happy is just a nickname in the MCU? And his actual name is Ben... Think about it... Honestly it would make a lot of sense.
Finally saw it today and didn't like it one bit. Felt I saw everything in the trailers. Spidey needs to grow up a little and start kicking ass. Get him out of school and out him in the real world. Mysterio was good, but look how he ends up.
You're right that Happy is a nickname... But his actual name is Harold, not Ben. There are some references to Uncle Ben in the films, even if they don't specifically name him. Like in Civil War when Peter tells Tony: "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." This is both a reference to Uncle Ben's death because he didn't act, as well as another way to give the "With great power..." line. And the initials on Peter's suitcase in FFH is "BFP" for Ben Franklin Parker.
My dad asked me after seeing the film "how come all the music is like 20 years older than Spider-Mans' supposed to be?" I didn't have a good answer.
so sad to say this but hate the movie, hate the political correct mary jane what really Hollywood you are racist with gingers now, jimmie Olsen, starfire, mary jane Watson, who is next, really uncle ben has no relevance here, Is so sad tony is basically uncle ben , why everyone in peter life know he is spidey , I feel like I was seen spy kids or agent cody banks it sucks
Dear pegasusprime, Red heads / gingers are not a race. At all. By any stretch of the imagination. Sincerely, Everyone
Please learn to use punctuation before going off on a rant so it is at least coherent. Redheads are not a race and MJ here is Michelle. Also, the cast coming from New York City it is not unlikely for a girl that Peter is crushing on to be a non-redhead.
