“Spider-Man is a kids’ movie!”

Yeah, in fact we have a 16 years old who’s:

- Still dealing with all the shit that happened in his life before the snap, including the death of his parents and his uncle, and the fact that he ended up in space to follow Tony and then died in his arms, just to come back five years later in the middle of a battle and see his mentor/father figure die in front of him after only a brief hug.

- Trying to adjuste to a new life, because half the platet was dead but the other half moved on and I think that, even though they did not explore really the angst potential of this, the aftermath of the Infinity Saga caused everyone a rough time because the ones who survived changed and the ones that came back didn’t, only to find that things and people they left were not the same anymore. That’s enough to deeply traumatise everyone, even without all the other stuff Peter has to face.

- Grieving Tony being at the same time surrounded by images of him everywhere reminding him what happened and worsening his survivor’s guilt, because how can you elaborate the death of someone you deeply loved when you see them around you all the time?

- Being under an enormous pressure by everyone that wants him to save the world as if the destiny of the Earth rests on his shoulders alone, telling him he needs to grow up and become the new Iron Man, because that’s what the world needs and what they all expects of Peter when all he wanted was just to keep being the friendly neighbourhood spider.

- Not being listened to when he try to say he needs a break from all superheroes’ things because he’s tired and he doesn’t think he can handle everything, so he just needs to live a little like the teenagers he is, enjoying a vacation with his friends and the girl he likes and maybe gain back a little sleep and mental stability. But no, the adults decided to keep pressuring him asking a teen to be responsible for the world not caring if they’ll eventually break him.

- Deceived by a man who took advantage of Peter and his pain when he was most vulnerable, making him believe he had found a new mentor to guide him filling the void left by Tony’s death at the point that Peter just gave him EDITH because he was so desperate he saw Tony in him -he fully trusted Mysterio, opened up with him telling him all his fears, relied on him, and then he was betrayed.

- Being physically, psychologically and emotionally abused by said mentor who made him see all his worse fears come true, showing him people he loved dying because of him and telling him how Tony’s death was his fault -as if Peter was not already thinking that.

- Left so traumatised and unable to believe his own mind and senses to separate reality from illusions at a point where he didn’t even know what was real and who to trust anymore. Really, being hit by a train was what caused less damages compared to Peter’s mental health. It will take years for him to come over everything and being able to sleep without nightmares.

But yes, that’s only a kids’ movie.
