Spider-Man: Homecoming - Responsibility Edition

A few small changes, but a huge leap in enjoyment. This is vastly superior to the theatrical version with a few bits of nostalgia added for an extra punch of fun into the mix.

I’m not a fan of Iron Boy, so the changes to this were very welcome as it helps Spider-Man stand up on his own two feet more and stand alone more that be reliant on the MCU. If I decide to watch this film again, I’ll definitely watch this edit rather than the theatrical version.

This was a really great edit of Homecoming that really makes some better changes and cuts from the theatrical. The use of Danny Elfman's score and the funky town ringtone is always gonna put a big smile on my face having grown up with Toby Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy. The also added inclusion of Uncle Ben's death scene (though its taken from Amazing Spider-Man) I thought still really helped add that missing moment I felt MCU Spider-Man never quite delved into properly- the why Peter became Spider-Man. It really helped add the emotional intensity of the scene it was placed in. Other things I also appreciated was the removal of the Aunt May being hot jokes, making Vulture feel a bit more menacing when he kills Tom Hardy looking Shocker, the rubble scene cutting Tony's "If you're nothing without the suit..." dialogue and the proposal scene moved to the end credits.

Overall brilliant job on the edit, the rescores had more emotion and felt more memorable, the cuts elevated the tension and emotions to many of the scenes. This will easily replace the theatrical version for me.

I came into the fan-editing world because of Star Wars. I discovered an alternative world of people editing MCU movies, after tirelessly surfing the web of an edit of The Last Jedi that is. Thanks to macmillan's Avengers: Assembled edit, I was intrigued to find more stellar edits. Bobbson Dugnutt's edit of Homecoming signifies merely just the beginning of my probably unhealthy addiction of fan edits. Now, on to the edit of the hour, Spider-Man: Homecoming was a great and surprisingly plot solid film even after subsequent viewings it remained a relatively brilliant movie in my eyes. It is an excellent movie that depicts a perfectly cast young Peter Parker working effectively with the Tony Stark "father figure" dynamic. However, for years, I couldn't figure out the niggling missing element that kept knocking on the doors in my head. That was Uncle Ben. I'm keen on skipping the origin story after sitting through it twice with the Tobey and Andrew iterations. However, there could've been at least a line or a flashback of Uncle Ben (the core/heart of Spider-Man IMO).

Before I get to that pivotal moment, I genuinely loved the small edits such as the "2012" and "present day" subtitles. This is because I knew the beginning took place sometime after The Avengers movie in 2012, but then it said 8 years later I was like, "So what is the exact chronology of the MCUniverse anyway?" Thank you for that. I equally enjoyed the inclusion of the Liz encouraging Pete deleted scene. The scene included not only extra bits of Pete's social life, but it adds more to them being friends and caring for each other (even if they never get together in the end). I also felt it was an excellent decision by both you and Bobbson to cut the jokes of May being hot for the kiddies (well done). The score changes for the "Iron Man to the rescue" scenes as well as the Danny Elfman motifs in others were a lot better IMO. They undoubtedly added so much more tension and emotion within them.


Which ushers me to the second half of the movie, the Uncle Ben inclusion during his decision to swoop in to action instantly recognizing what he's been fighting for. It made me become aware of the small yet crucial addition that was missing. The necessary decision to cut humor in some action scenes was brilliant too. The cut of Tony's "If you're nothing without the suit..." dialogue before Pete clears the rubble is a classic example of properly conveying emotion through "show don't tell". I agree the message is perfectly SHOWN with the shot of Pete looking at his water drenched mask (made even better with the familiar Danny Elfman motif). The addition of the proposal scene being moved to be an after credits scene, need I say more? In conclusion, all cuts were seamless and this edit is by far my new go-to when watching Spider-Man: Homecoming in my MCU marathons. I sincerely loved every minute of it, Spider-Man: Homecoming - Responsibility Edition without a doubt should have been the final cut. I am so glad I watched this. It has made the original movie into an even better movie more in tune with the spirit of Spider-Man. Well done, Masirimso17.

This was over all a fantastic Spider-Man edit, and inserted some semblance of the one thing it was missing (Uncle Ben) but that was also the source of the only problem I had with the edit: the segue back from the flashback was like getting hit with a hammer. That audio was not a smooth transition, and it really destroyed the moment. I also really hated that Uncle Ben death, but I get it. It was really the only one that made any sense with the younger May. Everything else about this edit I felt was fantastic and even an improvement over Bobson's excellent edit in that it trims a little of the over the top stuff. Over all, still going to become my go to edit for this movie. Strongly recommended.
