I'm not a fan of this teaser.
TRUTH, JUSTICE, HOPE
That is, the heritage of the Kryptonian Warrior: Kal-El, son of Jor-El

Looks like I'll have to move past gameplay footage
I abolutely loved this trailer! I am psyched and excited about Spider-Man: Homecoming!
Ned Leeds does seem to be clearly modeled on Ganke (chubby Asian kid who learns a teenage Spider-Man's secret identity) and there are two arguments here.
All of the Spider-Man comics are appropriate (from a legal perspective) source material for this new take on Spidey, and if the creative team wanted to give Peter Parker a male best friend who isn't Harry Osborn, there wasn't really anyone in the comics who fit the bill.
Critics of whitewashing, and fans of Miles Morales, might think it's a problem that a series about a white lead is using story material from a series with a minority lead. The other major aspect would be the mentor/ mentee relationship with Iron Man, which is closer to early Miles Morales stories than anything that happened to Peter.
Obviously, there are a lot of elements of the original Peter Parker Spider-Man in this new version. He's still a smart kid from Queens. He lives with his Aunt May. His rogues include the Vulture and Shocker. He's the first Spider-Man. He makes quips. He's awkward around girls. However, there are definitely elements of Miles Morales here.
It's a trailer for a movie that has tremendous potential, but it marks a departure from what we're used to from Spider-Man.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
I'm sad that for the third time Spiderman is still in high school. I was really hoping they'd finally start him as a 2nd year college student. Tom is college age after all..
Also.. I really guess Zendaya isn't playing MJ like everyone said she was. I guess she really is playing "Michelle".
