Spider-Man having an armoured suit. Pass or fail?

This has been an point of contention for spidey fans. His suit really is only about agility, nothing else. A spider is a very light creature, with amazing strength to weight ratio. So an armoured suit is a little bit of a contradiction.

Then there is this sense that Tony Stark is stage managing him too much. A hero’s journey is normally their own, with “the mentor” role being a wise old man, retired etc, from their own world.

So Tony is dressing him now? Sugar daddy territory as well.

So in conclusion, I’d say the idea to give Spider-Man an armoured suit was a fail.

If they're going to bring him into outer space, they HAD to give him something more substantial than spandex!

Masks don't keep your lungs from exploding out of your mouth and instantly freezing into a cloud of pink vapor!

But he didn’t need to go into space, he was told not to.

Yeah, well, in space warfare when people are blasting holes in the walls of spaceships, it always helps to have something like a spacesuit on.

Fail. As with Homecoming, I wanna see Spider-Man, not Peter Parker as Iron Man lite.
