But what makes the movie and their coupling special is that Peter tries to make it up to her.
His dual life perfectly mirrors how romance has to get put on hold. While Peter wants to be with her, he has obligations to stop another Elemental attack and can't stay. As MJ slowly begins to show more interest in Peter, she offers to split opera glasses so that they can watch the show together. The film also plays on how life can often get in the way of romance and pull one or both people in different directions. This is best shown early on when Peter tries to sit next to MJ on the plane, but as he tries to switch with Ned, his plan backfires, and he's forced to sit next to the teachers while MJ and another potential suitor, Brad Davis, spend quality time together. In reality, love is complicated and is often filled with missteps and missed opportunities. While most romances will follow the boy meets girl story and keep things in a world that is semi-fictional compared to how love works, Far From Home is more organic.

Peter also had a plan to confess to MJ that he likes her via a long and drawn-out plan that involves giving her a gift only she would like. However, the chaos of being a superhero finds him as Nick Fury tells him he has a mission. Dealing with the loss of Tony Stark, he takes a class trip to Europe, hoping that the vacation will allow him to unwind and cope with friends. And while an argument could be made for Thor: The Dark World to take the top spot for the MCU's best romance film, Spider-Man: Far From Home offers more unique examples of why it should be considered for the title.įar From Home follows Peter Parker after the events of Avengers: Endgame. But when it comes to romance, there are fewer examples. This has helped add more layers to the characters and the overarching world and ensure that there's something for everyone no matter the film. For example, Captain America: The Winter Soldier acts as a political thriller, whereas Ant-Man is a heist film. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been home to some unique films that are equal parts superhero film and various other genres in cinema.
