He could have gotten a normal job that did not require a 4 year commitment but then there wouldn’t be misery for Owen.

It made me angry as hell with his sh- family, it made me weep for his pain and the erosion of all those beautiful facets that made him who he was. Gavin's story is particularly heart wrenching.

As always Tom Holland was spectacular, the writing was clever and good for a few laughs, and uncharacteristic of most Marvel films, even the ending was unexpected.

In many ways it absolutely does, but in some other ways it does fall a bit short.
