As an aside: a NYC police captain makes $120k/year, and an ER nurse makes $90k. Miles and Gwen's home life was a bit gritty. (Yeah, I know it's a comic book/cartoon)

I sort of agree with you both on Gwen and liking the first better. On Gwen, 2/3 into her backstory I was enjoying it and then felt it was getting a little long. but something changed and fell back into her story.
Have gone back and forth on 1st vs. 2nd. First was fresh and new and brilliant. Second was just brilliant and I really like the plot twists and surprises. So maybe a draw for me.
The proof will be in the 3rd movie. They did such a great job with this one, I have to think they are going to nail the third.
Lot of cheering in the audience throughout the movie, everyone clapped at the end, enthusiastically. No end of credits scene which was a shame. Peter's baby would have been good for that.
On your point about salary vs. gritty. True NY'ers grow up gritty and when they find an apartment at their current grit level, they keep it for life, 30 years of grit and all.
