Apologies in advance for how pretty much all of this is going to be blocks of spoiler text?

No, I agree that it's not something that especially needs to be visualised everytime because that might look a bit TOO silly. All I wanted was some indication it was there. From Toombes being behind the door when he went to pick up Liz, Shocker getting the drop on him and then the Vulture wings getting the jump on him there were just too many instances in the film where it should have triggered. The bit right at the end after the crash where his ears are ringing and he can barely see would have been the PERFECT point to use it. Now I'm not saying someone shouldn't ever get the drop on him because that's asking for a bit too much, but it'd be nice if there was just something to suggest it was there.

I read Feige supposedly indicated that its something he might grow into in future films in which case great, but it's something I think is just genuinely lacking from Spidey films in general (and if is there it isn't very blatant, honestly the only one I can really remember it from is the first Raimi film). I have the same problem with the later X-Men films never really utilising Wolverine's heightened senses. It's just "claws and healing" half the time.

EDIT: Yes I know its in Civil War, I meant solo Spidey movies

There's a double edged sword to this. People said they were tired of seeing the same thing done, so they did something different, and now people are saying it was too different.

I think Karen's use in this movie made sense. It's something Tony would do, but after Peter proved he could handle these situations by himself when he didn't have the suit, I could see it being removed from this point forward.

Yeah as I say if this is a one and done thing I can totally go for it. I'd be fine with the AI and web shooters here giving Peter the inspiration to come up with all these things for himself (I REALLY want to see him spin a web parachute, I always loved those scenes in the 90s cartoon). But if they turn around and go "hey Karen worked really well in this movie, let's keep her!" then it doesn't work for me at all. I don't want to see Spider-Man have all his gadgets pre-made for him or have all this spy-tech built into his suit. I want to see him use that intelligence and do it all for himself.
