Captain Marvel Easter Eggs – A Fun, But True Story

Easter is not complete without a trip to Marvel’s awesome Spider-Man: Homecoming film, in which Tom Holland plays the young Peter Parker, while Tobey Maguire turns again to his dark role as the vigilante Spider-Man. Both actors have made quite the impression with this latest release, bringing the thrills back for Spider-Man fans. But what really takes your breath away is the heart-pounding action that both actors put forth. It’s definitely worth catching up with these two heroes once you’ve had a chance to see them in the latest Homecoming movie.

After a tragic incident occurs in New York City, Peter Parker goes into seclusion for several years, only returning to take on his alter ego of Spider-Man when an unfortunate case of mistaken identity allows him to interact with the web-swinging avenger Electro, now called Spider-Man. Unaware of the dangerous Electro, a Daily Worker tries to kill him, but instead, elects to chase him into a warehouse, where he’s confronted by a vicious Electro. Once Spider-Man manages to defeat Electro, he helps Daily worker get out of the warehouse safely and is pursued after by Electro once more…

This isn’t your father’s Spider-Man either. Homecoming shows a younger, less acrobatic Peter Parker taking on the tall, web-swinging vigilantor. He’s still as cocky and arrogant as he was in the comics, and the personality is the same, as he’s still using his high-speed energy beams to battle villains. There are a few slight changes, however, that make the character feel younger and more heroic, especially after his recent ordeal at the hands of Electro.

One scene in particular is worth mentioning, as Electro is swinging by a crane, and as he swings he hits a couple of Eggs. In the next few scenes we learn that they were actually eggs stolen from a demolition site, and that they were given to Electro by J.J. Daily. Daily also told Electro that he’s a member of the Thieves, a group of criminal masterminds that he intends on joining.

The story line moves quite rapidly towards the end, but we still haven’t reached the climax of Electro’s crime spree. He’s followed by one of Spidey’s lackeys, and he’s confronting the wall-crawler in a large, electrically charged room. The wall crawler easily defeats him, taking a chunk out of the wall with a powerful Electro blast. This prompts Electro to turn on the wall-crawler, and we then see one of the most terrifying sequences in the entire film, where he begins draining the man’s oxygen supply.

Overall, this is a fantastic film, and a fun one at that. The Captain Marvel Easter Eggs isn’t as silly or cartoonish as some of the earlier Easter films, and they’re well drawn and acted. They help establish the character of Electro in a realistic way, and they help lend some much needed comedy to an otherwise serious film. I would recommend this to anyone, but especially to those looking for a lighter side of the Marvel comic world. It’s a great watch for those who don’t have time for Spider-Man 3!
