    No, nothing has changed. You could make the argument in the comic about Spider-Man’s appearance in Captain America: Civil War, but nothing else.

    Homecoming: Spider-Man is fighting criminals trying to steal hyper advanced technology to weaponize it and sell to other criminals.

    Far From Home: Spider-Man is fighting a guy who is using advanced tech to stage destructive attacks with elaborate illusions in order to set himself up as a hero, despite the large amount of destruction and harm he’s causing without care.

    No Way Home: Spider-Man is trying to redeem and prevent from dying some inter-dimensional villains he inadvertently caused to be dragged into his universe.

    Infinity War/Endgame: Spider-Man joins other heroes to fight a galactic tyrant with Malthusian ideas of population control, hell-bent on eliminating half of all life in the universe.

    In none of these movies was he fighting for the government to maintain the status quo.

      He’s always been my favorite since 6th grade, relatable and really just trying to protect his city from shitbags. Sometimes he’s literally just patrolling looking for crime.
