23 of the most wasted Marvel movie characters as picked from each movie

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Adrain Toomes aka Vulture
After Spider-Man popped in during Captain America: Civil War, the world couldn’t wait for Tom Holland to swing into action (pun intended). He didn’t disappoint.
Holland was so good that people weren’t mad at having a third actor playing Spider-Man in less than twenty years. He was the perfect Web-Slinger and Peter Parker. Something that the previous two actors can’t boast. Spider-Man: Homecoming even made the Vulture look good. Then again, it was Michael Keaton playing him. There’s no way that could have gone wrong. Speaking of, we could have used more of him.
Michael Keaton is a treasure. Bringing him in to play a villain that’s normally laughed at was brilliant casting. When he was regular Adrian Toomes, he was a loving father and husband. Then, he switched it off and became a devious and frightening villain. It made him one of the most underrated villains in the MCU.
The difficult part would have been finding time to add him. Since this was Spider-Man’s debut film, he had to be the focus. All of the new toys in his suit and the learning curve coming off of his adventure with Tony Stark took a good chunk of the movie. And it should have. Regardless of all that, it would have been nice to see more Adrain Toomes or Vulture.
