Spider Man Homecoming Post Credit Scene Explained

Okay, so you just watched Spider-Man: Homecoming and you’re buzzing! That movie was a blast, right? But then… the credits rolled. And you're left scratching your head about those sneaky little scenes they tacked on at the end. Don't worry, we're here to break it all down in a way that's more fun than trying to decipher a trigonometry textbook. No Spidey-sense required!

Scene 1: Vulture Gets a Visitor

Remember Adrian Toomes, aka the Vulture? Yeah, the guy who gave Peter Parker a serious case of the jitters. He's chilling in prison, looking all glum and bird-less.

Suddenly, a familiar face shuffles into the prison laundry. It's Mac Gargan, also known as the future Scorpion, sporting a nasty scorpion tattoo on his neck. He's all about revenge and wants to know who Spider-Man REALLY is. Dun dun dun!

Here's where things get interesting! Vulture, being the surprisingly honorable villain (or maybe just plain smart), tells Scorpion he doesn't know who Spider-Man is. Talk about a twist! He protects Peter's secret! What does this mean? It's anyone's guess, but it certainly suggests there are things beyond just villainy going on in the MCU.

So, let's think about this. Is Vulture being a good guy-ish? Is he protecting his family from getting involved in Gargan's revenge plot? Or maybe he just wants to be the one to take down Spider-Man himself. We can only speculate.

Scene 2: Captain America's PSA

After all that super-villainy, we cut to... Captain America giving a public service announcement. Yes, really. It's like they raided the 1950s educational film archives.

Cap, looking slightly bewildered (probably because he's supposed to be dead... or is he?), lectures us about the importance of patience. He explains that sometimes, you have to wait for things. Like a post-credit scene to pay off.

The comedic genius of this is off the charts! He says, "Sometimes, patience leads to very little, and it seems like it's not worth it, and you wonder why you waited so long for something so disappointing." And then the screen cuts to black. It’s a hilarious jab at the audience who waited for a big reveal that didn't quite come! It's pure, unadulterated meta-humor.

It's like Marvel is winking at us, saying, "Hey, we know you're expecting some earth-shattering revelation, but sometimes, it's just a joke!". It’s Marvel poking fun at themselves and the whole concept of post-credit scenes.

Why is it Funny?

The Captain America PSA is funny on so many levels. First, it's completely unexpected! It feels utterly out of place after the tension of the Vulture scene.

Second, it’s Cap! He's usually so earnest and inspiring. Seeing him deliver a somewhat cynical message is just hilarious.

Finally, it mocks the very expectation of a mind-blowing reveal. It’s like Marvel is saying, "Don't take us too seriously!". It's refreshing and self-aware, which is part of what makes the MCU so enjoyable.

"Patience sometimes leads to victory, but sometimes, it leads to very little, and it seems like it's not worth it, and you wonder why you waited so long for something so disappointing." - Captain America
