In a bit of perfect plotting, it's this moment that the universe puts him back on the path toward becoming a true hero. It's only when Peter loses the suit (arguably his traumatic event that makes him re-think why he wants to fight crime) that he offers himself the possibility of going with Liz to the homecoming dance. Aunt May seems fine that he's gone all the time for his "internship." Only Ned seems irritated when Peter flakes on him to go fight crime, but that's solely because they were planning to exploit Spider-Man to gain cool points at a poorly-DJed high school party. Quitting all his school clubs doesn't seem to bother Peter much, either.
Following his fanboy documentation of the events of Civil War, his clearest reason for wanting to fight crime is that it seems cool. Stark also takes Peter's super suit away, impressing, "If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it." Where almost every superhero story follows the formula of giving the hero something to fight for, the tools to fight, and someone to fight against, the reasons for Peter's desire to swing into action aren't clear for most of Homecoming. Spider-Man is the cause and failed savior of the destruction.
SPIDER MAN HOMECOMING ENEMY FULL
The Ferry sequence echoes the Green Goblin simultaneously dropping Mary Jane and a Roosevelt Island tram full of children in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, as well as the visual of Spider-Man being torn, arms out like Christ, saving the R train in Spider-Man 2, but it's an inversion of both of those moments. As a bonus, both the Washington Monument disaster that almost kills his friends and the near-sinking of the State Island Ferry that almost kills innocents are caused – not by a diabolical foe offering an impossible moral choice – but by Peter himself.
