I wonder then from which point in Spider-man's film or comics continuity they're planning to take things.
For starters after five damn movies in the last thirteen years we don't need the damn origin story told again! How many times does Uncle Ben need to die before they're satisfied the audience knows what happened?
They've at least explicitly stated that they are NOT telling the origin story again. Probably because too many fans would flip out about this exact thing.
Also in the original story the point of Spidey's initial inclusion under Tony's banner was to boost the Registration Act. There he was, an infamous and very well known masked super-hero revealing his identity to the public in order to obey the law and do the right thing. If they have him be just a kid who barely even owns a proper costume yet (as possibly implied by the fact he's using the home-made version?) the impact of that seems pretty lessened. Why would Stark even care about what some upstart kid does?
There's zero reason to think anything's going to be working the same as it did in the comics, really. The only thing Age of Ultron had in common with the comics arc was the presence of Ultron. People keep going crazy over things like OOH RUMORS OF THE TEAM BREAKDOWN and it's like, everyone chill out, we literally don't even know the actual details of what the conflict even is.
That's to say, I don't think it matters about impact of story being lessened, because it's a different story. (Thank God, IMO. Not a big fan of the Civil War comics arc.)
