The Spider-Man story has a logical flaw. It’s mainly connected to the fact that the movie creators couldn’t decide when exactly the whole plot of the movie took place.

Tony Stark reveals he’s Iron Man in 2008. This happens 4 years before Loki attacks New York City and The Avengers assemble for the first time, in 2012.
In 2016, the Sokovia Accords are passed and the Civil War events take place. So Spider-Man: Homecoming, which begins with scenes from Peter’s point of view of the Civil War, should be from the same time period. And here it starts to get strange.
We’re told that 8 years passed between the main plot of Spider-Man: Homecoming and The Avengers. So it should occur in 2020. But this contradicts the ferry scene, as there’s an advert for 2018’s Stark Expo. And it also contradicts the Avengers: Infinity War timeline, as its events happen in 2018, and Peter is yet to be accepted to the Avengers’ team.
Also, in the rest of the movie we can see the villain’s company is clearing away the wreckage left after the 2012 events, something that would have probably started much earlier. And we have the thief Aaron Davis, who we’re told is 33 years old and was born in April 1984, so this means the movie is set in the second half of 2017, as homecoming parties usually occur in the Fall.
And then we have a bigger problem: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 occurs in 2014, setting the Spider-Man: Homecoming events to just months after Civil War, in 2016, and two years before the Infinity War, in 2018.

Lately it was said to be a mistake. But either way, it just doesn’t make any sense how it could be missed on the final edition.
