Post Credit Scenes In Spider Man Homecoming
Alright, let's talk about something near and dear to our movie-loving hearts: post-credit scenes. You know, those little bonus bits that make you lean forward in your seat, hoping for a hint of what's next.
And when it comes to Spider-Man: Homecoming, these little extras are a whole mood. They're like the cherry on top of a really good sundae. Or maybe a tiny extra scoop of ice cream. You get it.
Now, Homecoming had a couple of these goodies. And I have a confession to make. A slightly silly, maybe even unpopular opinion, but here it goes.
While most folks are buzzing about the epic reveals or the setup for future battles, my brain kinda went… "Wait, what was that?"
The first post-credit scene. It featured our favorite teacher, Mr. Harrington. He's on a bus, chilling with his fellow teachers.
And he's just… there. Talking. About nothing particularly world-shattering. Like, at all.
He's explaining the very basics of something. Something incredibly obvious. To the other teachers, who are just as confused as I was. It’s a whole lot of “huh?”
And the dialogue? It's all about the history of some… villain. A villain we barely saw. Or maybe didn't even care about that much in the grand scheme of things.
It felt like a really long, slightly awkward joke. Like your grandpa trying to explain TikTok. You love him, but the explanation is… a journey.
My thought process was basically: "Okay, cool, Mr. Harrington is still around. Good for him. But… is this it?"
I was expecting maybe a quick glimpse of Iron Man in a new suit. Or perhaps a shadowy figure hinting at a new antagonist.
Instead, I got a lesson on the Vulture’s origin story. Delivered with a slightly befuddled tone. It was almost… anticlimactic.
Don't get me wrong, I love John Favreau. He's fantastic as Happy Hogan, and his role as Mr. Harrington is surprisingly charming. But this scene felt like a blooper reel that accidentally got promoted to a post-credit scene.
It was the kind of scene that makes you turn to your friend and whisper, "Is this part of the movie?" And they just shrug.
The humor was definitely there. It was observational, poking fun at the mundane aspects of school life even amidst superhero chaos. But it lacked that oomph we usually associate with these bonus treats.
It felt less like a "wow, what's next?!" and more like a "ha, that's kinda funny." And while I appreciate a good chuckle, I'm usually in post-credit scene mode for world-building and hype.
So, I sat there, a little bewildered. Was this a deliberate curveball? A meta-commentary on the nature of post-credit scenes themselves?
Perhaps the real post-credit scene was the friends we made along the way… and the confusion it inspired. Kidding! Mostly.
Then came the second one. The one that actually delivered the goods. This one featured Captain America.
Ah, Captain America. The embodiment of patriotism and stern lectures. He's always got something to say, usually about responsibility.
And in this scene, he’s giving a motivational talk. To a group of kids. About detention.
Yes. Detention. After all the world-saving and super-villain battling, our hero is here to lecture teenagers about not learning their lesson.
It was brilliant. It was unexpected. And it was perfectly in character for Steve Rogers.
He’s the ultimate boy scout, and even in the face of temporal anomalies and alien invasions, he still believes in the power of… doing your time.
The irony was delicious. Here’s this legendary superhero, a symbol of hope and justice, reduced to a grumpy camp counselor.
My reaction was a loud, delighted laugh. This was what I signed up for! A little bit of humor, a little bit of character insight, and a nod to the broader MCU.
Chris Evans plays it with such deadpan seriousness. You can practically see him thinking, "I fought Loki. I stopped Hydra. And now I'm telling these kids to sit in a quiet room for an hour."
It’s these moments that remind us that even superheroes have mundane, slightly awkward responsibilities. Maybe even more mundane ones, ironically.
So, while the first scene left me scratching my head, the second one had me grinning from ear to ear. It perfectly captured the lighthearted tone of Homecoming.
It’s a shame the first one wasn't quite as impactful. It felt like a missed opportunity for a stronger punchline, or a more relevant hint.
But hey, that’s the magic of movies, right? Sometimes you get a soaring eagle, and sometimes you get a slightly confused pigeon. Both have their own charm.
And for Spider-Man: Homecoming, the pigeon scene with Mr. Harrington might just be my personal, slightly odd, favorite part of the post-credits. Because it was so wonderfully, unexpectedly… normal.
It's a reminder that not every bonus scene has to be a universe-shattering revelation. Sometimes, it's just about a funny moment.
It’s a quirky little footnote. A brief, almost forgettable anecdote. And I kind of love it for that.
The second scene, of course, is the one that gets all the praise. And it deserves it. It's a great gag.
But I'll always have a soft spot for the one that made me say, "Huh. That's a choice."
It’s the sort of thing you’ll rewatch later and go, “Oh yeah, that happened.”
It's a small, quirky detail in a big, exciting movie. And that's perfectly fine by me.
So next time you watch Spider-Man: Homecoming, pay attention to those extra bits. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself chuckling at the unexpected simplicity of it all.
Or perhaps you'll be too busy contemplating Cap's detention duty. Which is also, frankly, hilarious.
Either way, those post-credit scenes sure are a lot of fun.
