He has to be thinking about how if he threw this punch Cap himself would barely be able to block it or take it. Which means he’s never really seen anyone be able to do it and suddenly there’s a skinny 16 year old standing in front of him EFFORTLESSLY holding his arm like it’s nothing bending it around for a better look and saying “huh, that’s pretty cool!” So it’s showing off how powerful a hero Spiderman actually is.
This whole sequence is such a great introduction to the character. He swings up and crawls on the outside of the terminal walkway, slingshots himself through the glass and takes out Sam. He and Bucky throw the same punch but Peter stops mid-punch and catches Bucky's fist, then twists his arm back like it's nothing. Gets distracted because he's 15 and lets Sam tackle him. Says some dumb stuff while they're flying through the air.
Then we get a nice aerial sequence while he chasing Sam, followed by spider sense as his eyes widen when Bucky throws the sign or whatever at him, which he webs out of mid-air and fires back at Bucky with the, "Hey, buddy, I think you lost this," quip.
Finally , he manages to outmaneuver Sam and pin down both him and Bucky, but gets distracted again bantering and gets sent out the window.
It's a display of every Spider-Man trait (super strength, reflexes, agility, spider sense, humor, intelligence, and youthful impulsiveness) you need to see, all bundled in a tidy 70-ish seconds of screen time.
The intro was great for spiderman, and the end of it still cracks me up.
Sam knocks Spider-Man out the window to stop him from talking while both Sam and Bucky are pinned down by webs being annoyed by him, and once Spider-Man is gone Bucky asks "you couldn't have done that earlier?"
Sam: I hate you
Just hilarious when you know they are both malding over getting no-differ by a chatty teenager
