One of the many nice things about Peter being un-dusted: the possibility of Ant-Man and Spider-Man finally hanging out! (I don't think being on opposite sides of destroying an airport or the same side of punching Thanos' army quite counts.) I think the bug-themed heroes will get along really well, and Peter would definitely have respected Scott's Back to the Future rules more than everyone else.

Mind you, that's true for half of the universe now. (I suppose that's why Peter and Ned are still in high school, and given MJ is still the same age in the trailer for Far from Home, she must have been snapped and resurrected, too. Thoughtful of Thanos to keep them all in the same age range.

One thing I hope that Homecoming touches on is how chaotic having half the population of the universe vanish for five years and then pop back is going to be. There are going to be people who moved on and remarried who suddenly have two spouses, younger siblings who are now older than their big brothers and sisters, and people who arrive back from being dissolved only to find that their loved ones graduated or moved or had another child or died during the five years they were gone. (Honestly, Disney's new streaming channel could get a whole show out of it. They've been talking about a Damage Control adaptation for years, maybe this is their moment ...)

The Ancient One was another character I hadn't expected but was delighted to see.

That was the best cameo! The whole time Bruce was on his way, I was like 'but Stephen isn't at the Sanctum yet! Surely they're not going to have him fight Daniel Drumm, an obscure supporting character from Doctor Strange???' But no! And there wasn't even any fighting necessary.

Speaking of Sorcerors Supreme, the look between Tony and Stephen Strange when Strange raises his finger and Tony realises what he must do, and that Strange has known ever since the vision trip, that was great silent acting on both parts. Conveying all that needed to be said to the audience.

That was another of my favourite moments, and indeed great acting. I am satisfied that Strange's plan really does make sense in the end. Depriving Thanos of the Time Stone turned out to be less important than keeping Tony Stark alive in the long run.

As for "Hail Hydra", I was nearly on the floor. Well played, Russos. Well played.

I'm not saying it was worth that whole gobmackingly stupid and offensive comics storyline to get her, but ... almost worth it.

ETA: Oh, and what do you want to bet that this is how Hank Pym's paranoia about his work started?

Yes, that would make sense! I mean, concluding that Stark and/or S.H.I.E.L.D. either took his Pym Particles or failed to adequately protect them is pretty logical under the circumstances.
