Spider-Man won't be punching people in Homecoming. No, seriously.

What is happening to this movie? Does Marvel want it to fail? Everything they're doing with it is wrong.
A lot of DC fan nerds accuse Marvel of being too kiddy and this really seems a step in that direction after what I just read. -

So, according to you, older people are going to shield children away from seeing the movie just because Spiderman doesn't throw a single punch?
I have absolutely no idea where you're getting this false idea from, because it certainly isn't something that I've ever said.
Violence is an important subset of rating. I've seen or heard nothing that causes this film to deserve above PG, given that it won't have swearing or sex as a Marvel-friendly picture, and this fact has extrapolated that belief.

Allow me to clarify: I don't consider minor obscenities to be truly obscene swearing as they're essentially meaningless. Those include the likes of 'damn', 'hell' and even 'ass', among others. The more obscene words, such as f. c, w and others will all be absent, as they are in all Marvel movies. I'll bet my last penny on it. You may get a bastard somewhere in there, but I sincerely doubt even that much in an MCU PG-13.

How it is written, execution, tone, pacing, and character development will determine how well it does.
Obviously. The issue is that tone and writing are being stifled by such a concept.

Tone is affected by character actions, which are the result of writing in and of themselves. Simple.
They haven't taken away half of his power, but they have removed a portion of the movie's 'realism', if such a thing can be present in a superhero movie, and most do attempt it to be so these days. Spider-Man is a kid in Homecoming. His combat techniques need to be tried and tested. If he instinctively knows not to punch people out of fear of killing them, it's going to ruin that aspect. Give me a scene or two with good reason for the inaction, and I may consider it acceptable.

Now that IS what I said - I want to see these changes that cause him to hold back, and I want it to cost him in a meaningful form of conflict. That's all I ask this movie to do. Well, as well as not be as terrible as the likes of BvS, but let's not veer into THOSE waters. I think we can agree on this point.
I get it perfectly. I want proof that he doesn't get it just because of 'plot reasons'. On another note, comic-book strength probably won't be relevant.

It SHOULD, but most superhero movies are very liberal when it comes to interpreting apparent strength.
I'll wager that he does things that should cause more damage to normal humans than punches would without those adverse effects.

I don't think any of the previous Spider-Man films had any cusswords harsher than the word ass. So I don't get your point.
