There's a LOT of things that Marvel are pulling from with this "homecoming" for Spider-Man and I absolutely love what I'm seeing. It's a healthy blend of the Steve Ditko era of Spider-Man mythos that heavily influenced the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon and the current Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon (back in the earlier seasons when they actually focused on Peter's out of costume life) along with the current revamp of Spider-Man's earlier adventures in the current comics continuity where he meets various heroes for the first time, notably Ironman/Tony Stark.

I'm glad they went with a MUCH different design for Vulture as that's one character who would NEVER look accurate enough or cool enough like his comic book counterpart in a live-action film unless you you CGI'ed the fuck out of him IMO. Besides, what old man is going to sit back and let himself be strapped to a flying harness for all of these scenes that would be required for that character anyway.

Another thing is that I'm not making a big deal about the "web wings" on this Spider-Man's costume like everyone else because that's another Ditko era thing. Sure, Spidey might use it to help him against Vulture in the film but that was merely part of the costume back then before it had some functionality to augment Spidey's mobility.
