Flash Thompson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Eugene "Flash" Thompson is a supporting character in the MCU Spider-Man films.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He was changed from being a strong athletic jock and bully to a spoiled, rich rival nerd to Peter Parker.
 * 2) He is supposed to be a personal threat to Peter Parker but comes off as a minor annoyance to Peter.
 * 3) He barely does anything in Spider-Man: Far From Home aside from a running gag revolving around him streaming on Instagram.
 * 4) His actor Tony Revolori expressed interest to play Agent Venom, but just like Eddie Brock (2007), he isn’t bulky to play Agent Venom.
 * 5) In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Brad Davis looks and acts more like Peter’s rival than he does, making his role even more pointless.
 * 6) His lines are very inappropriate that gets old very fast and will get you on your last nerve.
 * 7) He is really annoying and egotistical, more so than his comic book counterpart and previous live-action iterations.
 * 8) He has very little reasons to pick on and insult Peter on a daily basis.
 * 9) He is an “alpha bastard” for being popular for his parties and tormenting Peter and Ned.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does get his comeuppance near the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming where Peter took his dad’s car and wrecks it.
 * 2) Tony Revolori does a fine job in the role.
 * 3) Despite not doing much in Spider-Man: Far From Home, he is less annoying.
 * 4) *He also improves a little in No Way Home (despite getting very little screen-time), as he's seen trying way too hard to be Peter Parker's friend after learning his identity, which Parker and his friends quickly pick up on as being a ruse.
 * 5) His final scene in Spider-Man: Far From Home implies that his parents don't pay attention to him, which may be a reason for which why he was a spoiled brat.
