Hey there, @ziofeda! Looks like we have pretty much "twin" perspectives on this.

I also liked his relationship with his best friend (who of course, is a huge teenage nerd with the skills of an NSA analyst), who'd wish that his friend being a superhero could be the turning point of their social life in college, and gets disappointed when Peter keeps the whole thing to himself.

I really like this statement and couldn't agree more on it. The awe he felt at having a secret superhero as a friend was just as impactful as what Peter Parker was going through himself. But you had to "look for it" if you know what I mean. :)
