**Dumb kids and their stupid rituals…does he really need $1 boxes of candy from across town to watch a movie…whatever…** *The camera pans over the grimy aisles of a shady convenience store, far from Tony’s penthouse. Dust motes dance in the flickering fluorescent light. Tony Stark, looking out of place in his sharp demeanor amidst the decay, watches Peter Parker—a grown man in ratty jeans—humming happily while hunting for stale, dollar-store candy. The contrast is stark: the billionaire hero, resigned and sighing, versus his ‘spider-ling’ treating this mundane errand like a sacred ritual. Tony taps his foot, anxiety and affection warring in his gaze as he realizes he’s truly stuck with this dad role.*
