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

The argument about Spidey punching being beneath him is a fair one, but I think it should depend on who he's fighting and the situation he's in. Like if he were fighting a villain like Rhino, then no punches should be pulled.
I just hope that the action sequences aren't mostly grappling/throwing, people ramming each other, bear hugs and light kicks that barely last a minute. And that this film doesn't make Spidey weak when to comes to actually taking hits.

I'm aware that he didn't. It doesn't change the impression I get of this movie being made kid-friendly for absolutely no good reason. Spider-Man not punching anybody, especially dangerous villains like Vulture, is a limitation that is beneath his character. Fact.

It's highly possible we wouldn't even be talking about this if it wasn't mentioned before the film was out. Literally didn't punch anyone in Civil War and that was his best action sequence in a film since the train fight in SM2.
It would make sense considering he is strong enough to kill most people with a single punch. He can get away with that in Civil War since most of them are strong enough to take Spider-man but the average mugger? Probably not going to happen without Spider-man turning them into paste on accident. I'd imagine he wont punch the Vulture because he is a normal guy but probably because he also might have a hard time once he is up in the air if he does knock him out in getting him down so it leads to a creative way in stopping the bad guy. I'm fine with that.
Spectacular Spider-man often had Spidey throw punches, but he'd still mainly use his surroundings to outsmart his foes. Such as kicking Electro into a pool or making Rhino struggle to breathe by surrounding him with steam.

So is Captain America, Iron Man and many others who hit people on-screen. It's calling pulling one's punches.
I'm fine with creativity. Here's the issue I have: let's say Spider-Man is a hair's breadth away from defeating Vulture, but can't bring himself to punch him in order to do so and it ends up costing him, say, a civilian life. That might be the most laughable form of tension I have ever seen in a superhero movie. Killing is one thing, but being afraid to punch? Utterly ridiculous. He can watch his strength. Hell, I'd be fine with the limitation if we were shown a sequence where he gets carried away and accidentally kills somebody, then vows to be more careful. But we're likely not getting that. What I'm expecting is to see infantised action sequences for the sake of it.

I think you're really making a big deal out of nothing here.
This could be interpreted a lot of ways. We really wont know till the movie comes out. Could still be really good with 0 punching. Or he could just mean no real fist fights, but he'll throw a punch and a kick here and there. Peter isn't even a trained fighter to begin with. It's pretty silly when these people get powers and suddenly become Bruce Lee.
Superman doesn't throw a single punch in the original Superman movie nor does he use his super breath or eye lasers, but it's still a better film than Man Of Steel. It's all about the filmmaker and the script.
