Spider-Man: The High School Spiderman
This is the web-slingers first full foray into the MCU, following his introduction in Captain America: Civil War (or, basically, Avengers 2.5).

And in this, thankfully, were spared yet another rendition of how he got his powers/Uncle Bens death, arriving already fully formed and with only a brief mention of getting bit by a spider and with no mention whatsoever of 'with great power comes great responsibilty'.

To the best of my knowledge, this is also the Vultures first big-screen appearance, although his own powers here come from scavenged alien tech rather than anything more 'comic-book'y. This also takes the unusual(?) approach of having Spider-Man being teenaged and still at school, rather than all the previous (non-MCU) movies in which he is leaving or has already left university.

"If what make a work of literature a classic is its ability to be a mirror held up against all times and all human societies — the personal experience and the political one — I think this short novel by Isak Dinesen (or Karen Blixen in her homeland, Denmark) must be in the process of becoming one. Read against our own times it can bee seen as a simple tale about a woman on the run from civil war who seeks refuge in an isolated community. Bringing nothing along with her into her exile but her natural kind spirit and knowledge of the culture of the culinary arts, Babette makes a quiet existence for herself as a simple housekeeper until the day she gets the opportunity to show and share her extraordinary skills. And there is nothing simple about that."
