Its so ingrained into his character that he feels like a sidekick.
Okay, maybe not, but people still talk about that home-sewn suit today!
Its a common complaint pointed at the MCU.
Spider-Man doesnt feel like Spider-Man, he feels like an Iron Man sidekick.
To make Spider-Man a sidekick is to undermine the entire point of the character.
But making him Iron Man’s has had huge ramifications beyond just the MCU.
No, its followed by a rich CEO handing him a swanky new suit on a silver platter.
It looks alotlike that original MCU suit.
He even sounds like he’s doing a Tom Holland impression.
And then we meet the Osborns.
Uncle Ben is his motivation.
Him jumping into bed with a rich CEO goes against that entire mythos.
Tobey Maguires Peter Parker handled it perfectly.
But when offered a job at Oscorp later in the movie, he turns it down.
Not a suit, not fancy technology, just a job.

In the end, he joins Captain Americas side.
We rarely see him so friendly with CEOs.
It has become so commonplace post-MCU that we see it in the comics now.
He even pokes fun at Octavius for designing a more Iron Man-like costume.
Peter Parker treating these CEOs like infallible heroes loses so much of the charm of Spider-Man.
It just isnt Spider-Man anymore.
