Peter's To-Do List (2019)

Peter’s To-Do List is a brisk, charming shot of pure Spider-Man flavor—light on its feet, big on personality, and packed with the kind of everyday hero energy that makes Peter Parker feel real. It plays like a bonus slice of summer before the bigger adventure, balancing teen awkwardness, friendly banter, and just enough action-y spark to remind you why this version of Spidey clicks. The tone is breezy and playful, a little “hangout comedy” with a superhero pulse, and it delivers a few delightfully cool moments that fans often wish had made the main feature. If you want sweeping sci-fi stakes, it’s not that—but if you’re on the fence and you like Spider-Man when he’s funniest and most human, this short is an easy, satisfying win.

Peter’s To-Do List is clearly trying to be a light, breezy add-on for Spider-Man: Far From Home fans, giving you a few extra moments with Peter and Ned before the trip kicks off. The problem is it often plays less like a proper short film and more like a stitched-together bundle of deleted scenes, so don’t expect a satisfying arc or any real stakes. The pacing can feel choppy, as if it’s rushing through bits rather than building to anything. If you’re craving more MCU flavor and don’t mind it being slight, it’s a harmless snack; if you want a standalone sci-fi/action/adventure hit, this won’t deliver.
