----
[[index]]
* '''''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''''' (2017): Following the events of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' (which can be considered a Prologue), Peter Parker returns to his normal high-school life as he's confronted with his first serious adversary, Adrian Toomes, a criminal using a vulture-like wingsuit to steal the leftovers of the Avengers' battles in order to utilized obtained technology to make weapons and sell them on the black market. In the meantime, Peter deals with the [[BeingGoodSucks burden of a superhero]] and clashes with his mentor-turned-father figure Tony Stark/Iron Man.
* '''''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''''' (2019): Set eight months after the events of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Peter is about to go on a school vacation trip while still mourning the death of his mentor and father figure, Tony Stark. During the trip, he encounters Nick Fury and a small SHIELD subunit, consisting of a bunch of former SHIELD agents. The team aims to stop the Elementals, supernatural beings from an other universe. They are accompanied by Quentin Beck/Mysterio, a hero with cosmic/mystical powers, who allegedly comes from the Elementals' universe. As they battle the Elementals in various European cities, Peter and Beck develop a bond and befriend one another.
* '''''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''''' (2021): Upon having his identity revealed, Peter finds himself in a turmoil. When a legal battle for his innocence and [[HeroWithBadPublicity reputation]] ensues, young Spider-Man decides to undo the situation, asking the sorcerer [[Characters/MCUDoctorStrange Stephen Strange]] for help. The latter finally agrees, performing a rune-based memory erasure spell that quickly goes awry after Peter starts altering its contents. Before things get really bad, Strange locks the spell in an artifact. Soon, it turns out the whole thing has opened a breach in the multiverse and brought five superpowered criminals into the universe, including Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin and Doctor Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus.
[[/index]]
As part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Spider-Man also makes crossover appearances in a few other movies:
* '''''Film/IronMan2''''' (2010): During the Hammer drones' assault on the Stark Expo, a boy wearing a toy Iron Man mask and repulsor stands up to them before the real Iron Man steps in to blast them. The boy would be identified as Peter retroactively.
* '''''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''''' (2016): Peter's official debut in the MCU, setting up ''Homecoming''. With the Avengers at odds with one another and splitting into factions, Tony Stark decides to pad his group's roster by recruiting a promising young super-hero from Queens...
* '''''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''''' (2018) and '''''Film/AvengersEndgame''''' (2019): Set between ''Homecoming'' and ''Far From Home'', an attack from aliens prompts Peter to follow Iron Man into space, and he ultimately joins the rest of the Avengers and their allies in a battle for the entire universe.
This version of Spider-Man also appears in a few MCU spinoffs:
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'' episode [[Recap/WhatIfS1E5WhatIfZombies "What If... Zombies?!"]], an AlternateTimeline where a ZombieApocalypse occurs between ''Homecoming'' and ''Infinity War''.
* Ride/AvengersCAMPUS, a Ride/DisneyThemeParks land. Spider-Man is featured in the ride ''W.E.B. Slingers'', where one of his inventions goes out of control and he calls on park guests to help him clean up the mess.
Amy Pascal, a producer who has worked with Sony Pictures and an architect of the initial deal between Marvel Studios and Sony, indicated that there are plans for three additional ''Spider-Man'' movies in the MCU during the press tour for ''No Way Home'', with Kevin Feige also stating that [[https://ew.com/movies/kevin-feige-tom-holland-future-spider-man/ the writers have a story for a fourth film locked and are "putting pen to paper"]]. However, no additional films or crossover appearances have been announced by either Marvel or Sony at this time.
Not to be confused with the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' from 2002-2007, though as stated above, ''No Way Home'' uses characters from that film series.
----
!!Tropes used throughout the series include:
* AdaptationalNameChange: PlayedForLaughs. The Spider-Sense is renamed the Peter Tingle (at first to Peter's dismay) ever since Aunt May first called it that. It even applied to [[spoiler:the previous films' Spider-Men.]]
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: This Peter lived in a world where the Avengers existed for years before he became Spider-Man and idolized Iron Man. His comic book counterpart actually predates Tony becoming Iron Man and by extension, the founding of the Avengers themselves.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: All over the place.
** ComicBook/SpiderMan is given his classic suit by ComicBook/IronMan in this continuity instead of making it himself. In addition, Peter dreams of being an Avenger here while in the comics, he actually predates them. He also declined to officially join the team initially.
** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', the Vulture's winged flight suit is created from leftover technology from the Chitauri invasion seen in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', and the entire reason he's a villain in the first place is because Stark Industries and government initiatives ruined his business. It's also revealed late in the game that the Vulture is the father of Liz Allan, Peter's love interest. Additionally, the Shocker's gauntlet is created from one of the gauntlets used by Crossbones in ''Civil War''.
** In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} turns out to be a bitter former Stark International employee who tried to con people into thinking he was a superhero after being fired for his unstable demeanor.
** Zigzagged with ComicBook/NormanOsborn; While he was not there for Uncle Ben's death nor Peter's initial transformation into Spider-Man, [[spoiler:his murder of Aunt May triggers a harsh change in Peter that makes him much more like the majority of iterations of his character. It forces him to finally absorb what it means [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility to be Spider-Man]].]]
* AffablyEvil: All the villains save for Mysterio. Vulture had some redeeming qualities to him, due to his background and deep care for his family. Electro, Doctor Octopus, Lizard, Sandman and (surprisingly) Green Goblin are victims of scientific accidents which influenced them in a negative way or gave them a SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* BittersweetEnding: Each movie reminds Peter that being a superhero doesn't always lead to a happy ending.
** ''Homecoming'': [[spoiler:Due to her father being arrested and exposed as the Vulture, Liz is forced to relocate. It also ends on a bad note for her and Peter's relationship, since he had to leave during Homecoming to stop Toomes without her knowing.]]
** ''Far From Home'': [[spoiler:While Peter and MJ get a RelationshipUpgrade, Mysterio had left a post-death revenge ploy by revealing Peter's identity to the world and make it look like he murdered a hero.]]
** ''No Way Home'': [[spoiler:While Peter finds a way to stop the interdimensional crisis, he's forced to have all memory of who he is erased from the world, including his girlfriend and best friend. His Aunt May has also died by the Green Goblin's hand, so he's now left in a world with neither friends or family. And since nobody remembers who he is, he has to drop out of high school and get a GED while living alone in an apartment. Despite this, he soldiers on as Spider-Man]].
* BookEnds: Vulture, the StarterVillain, and Green Goblin, the FinalBoss, are both men in green suits who use technology to fly.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: At the end of ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler: Doctor Strange removes any memory of Peter Parker from the minds of all beings in the universe to seal the cracks in the multiverse.]] The process has no negative implications (so far) other than what it means for Peter personally.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Both villains in ''Homecoming'' and ''Far From Home'' have a vendetta with Tony Stark, who mentored Parker. In ''No Way Home'', the villains learning of their deaths in their respective films set them in opposition to the MCU's Peter.
* DeducingTheSecretIdentity:
** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'': [[spoiler:When Peter is riding with Liz and Adrian Toomes to the school dance, Toomes pieces together that Peter is Spider-Man when Liz talks about how he keeps disappearing, both at her party and at Washington DC.]]
** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'':
*** [[spoiler:With all the time that MJ spends spying on Peter, she ''would'' notice all the times he disappears without providing a decent explanation as to why especially since he and Spider-Man are ''somehow'' never in the same place at the same time. Adrian Toomes figured it out in the span of ''one conversation'', small wonder that an intelligent girl with a crush on Peter realizes it long before the movie begins.]]
---->[[spoiler:'''MJ:''' I mean... [[LampshadeHanging It was kind of obvious.]]]]
*** [[spoiler:Peter Parker himself is his own worst enemy when it comes to this. Yes, he wears a mask, but not only does he speak in his regular voice, he [[MotorMouth talks a mile a minute]], cannot shut up to save his life, [[BadLiar is a horrible liar]], and has the world's worst poker face. Therefore, it is not difficult for several people to figure out his secret identity.]]
* EngineeredHeroics: Mysterio's whole shtick is orchestrating multiple cataclysmic events of varying scale in order to stop them and gain recognition through his actions. He is so good at it, that a fully-fledged Avenger and [[spoiler: a bunch of Skrull impersonators]] fall for his lies.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each film in the trilogy includes the word "home" in its title.
* InNameOnly: The movies' version of Ned Leeds has pretty much nothing to do with the comics version. A lot of his character traits were borrowed from Ganke Lee, best friend of Miles Morales.
* LighterAndSofter: Than ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'', with the first film being more optimistic and lighter than the Raimi films. The next two films do get darker in tone, but not to the same extent as the Marc Webb films.
* LocalSoundtrack: Two of the movies in the MCU (''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' and ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'') use the songs "Blitzkreig Bop", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by [[Music/{{Ramones}} The Ramones]] in parts of their soundtracks, since The Ramones were a band from Queens, New York - where Peter Parker lives.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Downplayed, but Spider-Man's costumes incorporate more black in their color schemes this time. In ''Far From Home'', the Upgraded Suit outright replaces blue with black. Averted at the end of ''No Way Home'', as the [[spoiler:Fresh Start suit goes back to the classic color scheme.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Appears in all movies. In ''Homecoming'', Peter tries way too hard to incapacitate an alien hand cannon and in result slices the ferry he and Vulture are battling on in half. Despite his best efforts, Parker fails to keep the ship together, and has to be bailed out by Iron Man. In ''Far From Home'', Spider-Man's most egregious mistake is giving Mysterio a set of lethal combat drones controlled by an extremely powerful satellite system. Granted, Quentin Beck was one ManipulativeBastard, but still. In ''No Way Home'', the young webslinger constantly switches between naive and undecided, which causes most of the negative precedents in the movie.
* NoSell: The Vulture takes virtually no damage in ''Homecoming'' until the final fight. And his defeat comes from his inability to focus on his own safety. Green Goblin takes most of Peter's punches in ''No Way Home'' pretty unphased. It's not until Parker starts channeling [[ThePowerOfHate his dark side]], that Norman gets in trouble.
* OfficialCouple: MJ and Peter, starting in ''Far From Home''.
* OncePerEpisode: There's a few recurring elements between the movies in the trilogy.
** In every movie, Peter teams up with another MCU hero only for Peter's inexperience and the hero's own flaws to clash and create an easily avoidable disaster.
** Peter and someone else gets CaughtWithYourPantsDown in a NotWhatItLooksLike situation.
** A member of the Parker family shouts "WHAT THE [[CurseCutShort FU-]]?!"
* PictorialLetterSubstitution: Each movie's title logo has an "o" replaced with Spider-Man's mask.
* PrimaryColorChampion: [[spoiler: The three Spider-Men]], Iron Man and Doctor Strange wear red, blue and yellow attire, which makes for a [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience neat contrast with the bad guys,]] using the colors of [[SecondaryColorNemesis purple, orange, green and grey.]] DoubleSubverted with Mysterio, who wore secondary colors, but turned out to be the bad guy. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Electro, whose aura ranged from blue to yellow.
* SaveTheVillain: Played straight in ''Homecoming'' and ''No Way Home'', but [[AvertedTrope averted]] in ''Far From Home''. Throughout his journey in ''Homecoming'', Peter recognizes the good inside the seemingly despicable Adrian Toomes, and when the villain’s life becomes threatened by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his very own equipment and greed]], Peter uses all the strength he can muster to save The Vulture. Toomes [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe remembers that and repays the favor by]] [[SecretKeeper not revealing Spider-Man's identity in prison to a potential future supervillain.]] In ''Far From Home'', however, saving Mysterio is out of the question as he’s lied too many times and taken/endangered too many lives to be considered redeemable. This is exemplified and enhanced through Peter’s [[GoodIsNotSoft no-nonsense]] attitude towards Beck in the climax. He straight up [[YouMonster rubs it in his face]] and refuses to help despite Quentin’s obvious lethal wounds. We find out shortly after that Peter [[BaitTheDog was right as Mysterio fails to shoot him in the head after offering him his glasses.]]
** Taken to its logical extreme in ''No Way Home''. After learning that the multiversal villains are all fated to die in their home universes, Peter makes it his personal mission to cure and reform all of them before sending them back. He eventually succeeds, but at a great personal cost.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Each BigBad of the films use green as the primary color of the suits, with Mysterio and Green Goblin also adding in purple.
* SequelEscalation: Each film raises the danger of the [[BigBad Big Bads]] higher than the last and forces Peter to push himself even more to win. In the first film, the villain was a good example of a PragmaticVillain who in the end showed Peter VillainousRespect, while the second film had an EvilIsPetty villain with no redeeming qualities who was prepared to destroy a whole city. His third film had him fight against a group of villains from other universes in order to prevent the destruction of his own.
* SpecialGuest: Each movie has a prominent MCU character involved in the plot. ''Homecoming'' has Tony Stark/Iron Man, ''Far From Home'' has Nick Fury [[spoiler:revealed to be Talos the Skrull]] and ''No Way Home'' has Doctor Strange with a cameo by Matt Murdock.
* SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Averted in ''Homecoming''. [[spoiler: In ''Far From Home'', Mysterio seemingly accidentally kills himself, but it's ''Mysterio'', who is known to be anything but honest and straightforward and had already faked his death twice within the film, so who knows if even his final death is just another play on his part. ]] ''No Way Home'' subverts this to an extreme by [[spoiler: ''undoing'' a number of villain deaths from the previous two film series']].
* SuperheroOrigin: Played with. When Peter first appears in ''Civil War'', he already has his powers and has been active as Spider-Man for several months. However, each film in the trilogy teaches Peter important lessons about being a hero and instills in him his "With great power" philosophy. In a way, he isn't ''truly'' Spider-Man until the end of ''No Way Home'', making the trilogy an extended origin story.
* TakingYouWithMe:
** In ''Far From Home'', Mysterio's last [[EvilIsPetty act of spite]] is revealing Spider-Man's identity to the world and framing him, effectively setting up his end.
** In ''No Way Home'', during the final clash with Green Goblin, Peter uses a Pumpkin Bomb to topple the glider they're both on, risking the loss of his life.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Played straight with Quentin Beck/Mysterio, [[Film/SpiderMan1 Norman Osborn/Green Goblin]], [[Film/SpiderMan2 Otto Octavius/Doc Ock]], [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Curt Connors/The Lizard]] and [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 Max Dillon/Electro]]. Averted with regards to both [[Film/SpiderMan3 Flint Marko/Sandman]] and Adrian Toomes/The Vulture, with each character acting primarily out of desperation and love for their respective families.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: The overarching theme of the trilogy, with each movie serving as a building block for Peter's moral code.
** ''Homecoming'': Peter's "friendly neighborhood" duties are just as important, if not more so, than any Avengers-level threats that may arise in the near future.
** ''Far From Home'': Though it's difficult to live a normal life while being a superhero, it's still worth it to at least try.
** ''No Way Home'': Doing the right thing often punishes more than it rewards, but the selflessness of it makes up for the loss.
* WouldHurtAChild: Mysterio and Green Goblin. The Goblin emanates malice from every inch of his being, there is nothing he won't do to accomplish his goals. It's less obvious with Mysterio, but once he decides to assassinate innocent high-schoolers to evade exposure, it's clear how he really feels.

* AdaptationalLateAppearance: This Peter lived in a world where the Avengers existed for years before he became Spider-Man and idolized Iron Man. His comic book counterpart actually predates Tony becoming Iron Man and by extension, the founding of the Avengers themselves.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: All over the place.
** ComicBook/SpiderMan is given his classic suit by ComicBook/IronMan in this continuity instead of making it himself. In addition, Peter dreams of being an Avenger here while in the comics, he actually predates them. He also declined to officially join the team initially.
** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', the Vulture's winged flight suit is created from leftover technology from the Chitauri invasion seen in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', and the entire reason he's a villain in the first place is because Stark Industries and government initiatives ruined his business. It's also revealed late in the game that the Vulture is the father of Liz Allan, Peter's love interest. Additionally, the Shocker's gauntlet is created from one of the gauntlets used by Crossbones in ''Civil War''.
** In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} turns out to be a bitter former Stark International employee who tried to con people into thinking he was a superhero after being fired for his unstable demeanor.
** Zigzagged with ComicBook/NormanOsborn; While he was not there for Uncle Ben's death nor Peter's initial transformation into Spider-Man, [[spoiler:his murder of Aunt May triggers a harsh change in Peter that makes him much more like the majority of iterations of his character. It forces him to finally absorb what it means [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility to be Spider-Man]].]]
* AffablyEvil: All the villains save for Mysterio. Vulture had some redeeming qualities to him, due to his background and deep care for his family. Electro, Doctor Octopus, Lizard, Sandman and (surprisingly) Green Goblin are victims of scientific accidents which influenced them in a negative way or gave them a SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* BittersweetEnding: Each movie reminds Peter that being a superhero doesn't always lead to a happy ending.
** ''Homecoming'': [[spoiler:Due to her father being arrested and exposed as the Vulture, Liz is forced to relocate. It also ends on a bad note for her and Peter's relationship, since he had to leave during Homecoming to stop Toomes without her knowing.]]
** ''Far From Home'': [[spoiler:While Peter and MJ get a RelationshipUpgrade, Mysterio had left a post-death revenge ploy by revealing Peter's identity to the world and make it look like he murdered a hero.]]
** ''No Way Home'': [[spoiler:While Peter finds a way to stop the interdimensional crisis, he's forced to have all memory of who he is erased from the world, including his girlfriend and best friend. His Aunt May has also died by the Green Goblin's hand, so he's now left in a world with neither friends or family. And since nobody remembers who he is, he has to drop out of high school and get a GED while living alone in an apartment. Despite this, he soldiers on as Spider-Man]].
* BookEnds: Vulture, the StarterVillain, and Green Goblin, the FinalBoss, are both men in green suits who use technology to fly.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: At the end of ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler: Doctor Strange removes any memory of Peter Parker from the minds of all beings in the universe to seal the cracks in the multiverse.]] The process has no negative implications (so far) other than what it means for Peter personally.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Both villains in ''Homecoming'' and ''Far From Home'' have a vendetta with Tony Stark, who mentored Parker. In ''No Way Home'', the villains learning of their deaths in their respective films set them in opposition to the MCU's Peter.
* DeducingTheSecretIdentity:
** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'': [[spoiler:When Peter is riding with Liz and Adrian Toomes to the school dance, Toomes pieces together that Peter is Spider-Man when Liz talks about how he keeps disappearing, both at her party and at Washington DC.]]
** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'':
*** [[spoiler:With all the time that MJ spends spying on Peter, she ''would'' notice all the times he disappears without providing a decent explanation as to why especially since he and Spider-Man are ''somehow'' never in the same place at the same time. Adrian Toomes figured it out in the span of ''one conversation'', small wonder that an intelligent girl with a crush on Peter realizes it long before the movie begins.]]
---->[[spoiler:'''MJ:''' I mean... [[LampshadeHanging It was kind of obvious.]]]]
*** [[spoiler:Peter Parker himself is his own worst enemy when it comes to this. Yes, he wears a mask, but not only does he speak in his regular voice, he [[MotorMouth talks a mile a minute]], cannot shut up to save his life, [[BadLiar is a horrible liar]], and has the world's worst poker face. Therefore, it is not difficult for several people to figure out his secret identity.]]
* EngineeredHeroics: Mysterio's whole shtick is orchestrating multiple cataclysmic events of varying scale in order to stop them and gain recognition through his actions. He is so good at it, that a fully-fledged Avenger and [[spoiler: a bunch of Skrull impersonators]] fall for his lies.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each film in the trilogy includes the word "home" in its title.
* InNameOnly: The movies' version of Ned Leeds has pretty much nothing to do with the comics version. A lot of his character traits were borrowed from Ganke Lee, best friend of Miles Morales.
* LighterAndSofter: Than ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'', with the first film being more optimistic and lighter than the Raimi films. The next two films do get darker in tone, but not to the same extent as the Marc Webb films.
* LocalSoundtrack: Two of the movies in the MCU (''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' and ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'') use the songs "Blitzkreig Bop", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by [[Music/{{Ramones}} The Ramones]] in parts of their soundtracks, since The Ramones were a band from Queens, New York - where Peter Parker lives.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Downplayed, but Spider-Man's costumes incorporate more black in their color schemes this time. In ''Far From Home'', the Upgraded Suit outright replaces blue with black. Averted at the end of ''No Way Home'', as the [[spoiler:Fresh Start suit goes back to the classic color scheme.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Appears in all movies. In ''Homecoming'', Peter tries way too hard to incapacitate an alien hand cannon and in result slices the ferry he and Vulture are battling on in half. Despite his best efforts, Parker fails to keep the ship together, and has to be bailed out by Iron Man. In ''Far From Home'', Spider-Man's most egregious mistake is giving Mysterio a set of lethal combat drones controlled by an extremely powerful satellite system. Granted, Quentin Beck was one ManipulativeBastard, but still. In ''No Way Home'', the young webslinger constantly switches between naive and undecided, which causes most of the negative precedents in the movie.
* NoSell: The Vulture takes virtually no damage in ''Homecoming'' until the final fight. And his defeat comes from his inability to focus on his own safety. Green Goblin takes most of Peter's punches in ''No Way Home'' pretty unphased. It's not until Parker starts channeling [[ThePowerOfHate his dark side]], that Norman gets in trouble.
* OfficialCouple: MJ and Peter, starting in ''Far From Home''.
* OncePerEpisode: There's a few recurring elements between the movies in the trilogy.
** In every movie, Peter teams up with another MCU hero only for Peter's inexperience and the hero's own flaws to clash and create an easily avoidable disaster.
** Peter and someone else gets CaughtWithYourPantsDown in a NotWhatItLooksLike situation.
** A member of the Parker family shouts "WHAT THE [[CurseCutShort FU-]]?!"
* PictorialLetterSubstitution: Each movie's title logo has an "o" replaced with Spider-Man's mask.
* PrimaryColorChampion: [[spoiler: The three Spider-Men]], Iron Man and Doctor Strange wear red, blue and yellow attire, which makes for a [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience neat contrast with the bad guys,]] using the colors of [[SecondaryColorNemesis purple, orange, green and grey.]] DoubleSubverted with Mysterio, who wore secondary colors, but turned out to be the bad guy. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Electro, whose aura ranged from blue to yellow.
* SaveTheVillain: Played straight in ''Homecoming'' and ''No Way Home'', but [[AvertedTrope averted]] in ''Far From Home''. Throughout his journey in ''Homecoming'', Peter recognizes the good inside the seemingly despicable Adrian Toomes, and when the villain’s life becomes threatened by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his very own equipment and greed]], Peter uses all the strength he can muster to save The Vulture. Toomes [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe remembers that and repays the favor by]] [[SecretKeeper not revealing Spider-Man's identity in prison to a potential future supervillain.]] In ''Far From Home'', however, saving Mysterio is out of the question as he’s lied too many times and taken/endangered too many lives to be considered redeemable. This is exemplified and enhanced through Peter’s [[GoodIsNotSoft no-nonsense]] attitude towards Beck in the climax. He straight up [[YouMonster rubs it in his face]] and refuses to help despite Quentin’s obvious lethal wounds. We find out shortly after that Peter [[BaitTheDog was right as Mysterio fails to shoot him in the head after offering him his glasses.]]
** Taken to its logical extreme in ''No Way Home''. After learning that the multiversal villains are all fated to die in their home universes, Peter makes it his personal mission to cure and reform all of them before sending them back. He eventually succeeds, but at a great personal cost.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Each BigBad of the films use green as the primary color of the suits, with Mysterio and Green Goblin also adding in purple.
* SequelEscalation: Each film raises the danger of the [[BigBad Big Bads]] higher than the last and forces Peter to push himself even more to win. In the first film, the villain was a good example of a PragmaticVillain who in the end showed Peter VillainousRespect, while the second film had an EvilIsPetty villain with no redeeming qualities who was prepared to destroy a whole city. His third film had him fight against a group of villains from other universes in order to prevent the destruction of his own.
* SpecialGuest: Each movie has a prominent MCU character involved in the plot. ''Homecoming'' has Tony Stark/Iron Man, ''Far From Home'' has Nick Fury [[spoiler:revealed to be Talos the Skrull]] and ''No Way Home'' has Doctor Strange with a cameo by Matt Murdock.
* SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Averted in ''Homecoming''. [[spoiler: In ''Far From Home'', Mysterio seemingly accidentally kills himself, but it's ''Mysterio'', who is known to be anything but honest and straightforward and had already faked his death twice within the film, so who knows if even his final death is just another play on his part. ]] ''No Way Home'' subverts this to an extreme by [[spoiler: ''undoing'' a number of villain deaths from the previous two film series']].
* SuperheroOrigin: Played with. When Peter first appears in ''Civil War'', he already has his powers and has been active as Spider-Man for several months. However, each film in the trilogy teaches Peter important lessons about being a hero and instills in him his "With great power" philosophy. In a way, he isn't ''truly'' Spider-Man until the end of ''No Way Home'', making the trilogy an extended origin story.
* TakingYouWithMe:
** In ''Far From Home'', Mysterio's last [[EvilIsPetty act of spite]] is revealing Spider-Man's identity to the world and framing him, effectively setting up his end.
** In ''No Way Home'', during the final clash with Green Goblin, Peter uses a Pumpkin Bomb to topple the glider they're both on, risking the loss of his life.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Played straight with Quentin Beck/Mysterio, [[Film/SpiderMan1 Norman Osborn/Green Goblin]], [[Film/SpiderMan2 Otto Octavius/Doc Ock]], [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Curt Connors/The Lizard]] and [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 Max Dillon/Electro]]. Averted with regards to both [[Film/SpiderMan3 Flint Marko/Sandman]] and Adrian Toomes/The Vulture, with each character acting primarily out of desperation and love for their respective families.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: The overarching theme of the trilogy, with each movie serving as a building block for Peter's moral code.
** ''Homecoming'': Peter's "friendly neighborhood" duties are just as important, if not more so, than any Avengers-level threats that may arise in the near future.
** ''Far From Home'': Though it's difficult to live a normal life while being a superhero, it's still worth it to at least try.
** ''No Way Home'': Doing the right thing often punishes more than it rewards, but the selflessness of it makes up for the loss.
* WouldHurtAChild: Mysterio and Green Goblin. The Goblin emanates malice from every inch of his being, there is nothing he won't do to accomplish his goals. It's less obvious with Mysterio, but once he decides to assassinate innocent high-schoolers to evade exposure, it's clear how he really feels.
