I felt like the movie didn't assume you had to know who all these people were, but it did assume you were a general comic book fan.

On that note, it was funny to me how they blithely reverted to a status quo in which Bruce Banner can lose control and become the Hulk despite this wildly contradicting recent films. Not only does the movie not require you to be up to date on MCU developments, it flippantly ignores them when it wishes!

And you know what? I don't actually mind. Sure, it's not technically consistent with the most recent cannon of the MCU. But you know what it is consistent with? A Hulk t-shirt. The 80s TV show. It's who most casual fans of pop culture recognize the Hulk to be. And that's kind of the whole movie's approach to these stories.

Overall, this film felt more like the 90's Spider-Man cartoon than any other Spider-Man film I've seen. That's both praise and ridicule in some way, but it was a Spider-Man movie through-and-through, and it made liberal use of suspension of disbelief. Spider-Man invents power nullifiers in a few sittings all by himself? His Spidey sense lets him react to a 1 km sniper shot he couldn't see or hear? He just pep talks an obviously unstable Omega-level mutant into being cool and then lets them go after they demonstrate an ability and eagerness to control and kill unlimited strangers with a thought? Sure, why the hell not.

I used to find this quality more irritating, but I've come around to accepting that this is what they want to tell, and if I accept it, it's a pretty decent film.
