Spider-Man: Far From Home Establishes the MCU as 'Earth-616'
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
In-universe, who is actually giving all these numbers? Like, is there an entity/organization actually going to different universes and go "oh let's call this 616, and that 833".
Maybe mysterious dimension is just so far ahead of the science game.
So...why does Spider-Man call him Mysterio? I guess we are to assume that Mysterio has already been given that name by the press?
I'm so confused by so many postings, what am I not getting here? Why can't it be the same as in the comics, what's the problem?
Fury is kinda a total rube, can't see Hydra right under his nose and now getting scammed by a total con. Anyway the reason all the realities are 616 is because they are all 616 but different dimensions. MCU is the top layer universe as live organic third dimension, Comic is the second dimension and spiderverse intersects both dimensions as animated third dimension.
Didn't Ultimate Mysterio end up being some robot controlled and/or actually the 616 Mysterio that happened to be universe hopping? I can still see this happening with this Mysterio being aware of 616 and the MCU as Earth-19999. He could just be lying about MCU being 616.
It also means that Peter in MCU is Peter B Parker in Spiderverse
why pick that number lol
On his farm, Thanos used the stones to conduct a multi dimensional intergalactic census. On Titan 3451 he worked for H&R block.
Wait people think the MCU is an alternative dimension to the comics? It's a movie adaptation of the comics.
It was officially given a designation as an alternate earth to 616. 199999 I think.
that still counts as a different dimension tho, it already had a universe number I'm pretty sure.
Oh well I didn't know it was officially designated a part of the conics multiverse. Fair enough.
Because the MCU coexists with the regular Marvel Universe within the Multiverse. They're both different universes with official designations.
The main earth we've been following in the movies can be 616 within the multiverse that is the MCU, just like the main earth we follow in the comics is 616 in the comics.
We didn't freak out about Into The Spider-Verse being set in Earth 1610 despite clearly not being the same as the comics' Earth 1610. It's fine, y'all. It's fine. It literally just means that this is the MCU's equivalent of the main Earth and timeline. It's fine.

I'd be up for Hailee Steinfeld being live action Spider-Gwen.
Yep, the question being : How in the world did he trick Fury of all people into buying it? On the other hand, while his outfit is literally an amalgam of the Avengers, his green myst does have Doctor Strange like symbology.
Honestly I pretty much don't like this twist. True or false, it seems needless, convoluted, and likely only exist to move pieces on the MCU board, if true.

Spider-Man deals with insane bullshit, like, all the time.
Seriously, I'm pretty sure Spider-Man has fought nearly every major Marvel villain (and some heroes!) at this point.
This multiverse stuff makes me more invested in the MCU than ever before.
We are talking about universes, not dimensions. The comic 616 is obviously the 2nd dimension 616 while MCU is 3rd dimension 616.
It's probably a nod to nerds to show he's lying about stuff
He's lying about this (or the script got it wrong) at the very least. The MCU is Earth-199999
Earth-616 is the mainline comics continuity.
We already know there's a multiverse. Dr Strange and Endgame explored them. But Mysterio is totally bullshitting about coming from another dimension
I wonder how much people will freak out if the MCU elects to use an Earth-616 designation for their "prime" universe too?
There seems to be a comic canon and a movie canon. It makes sense for them to both be 616 because they are different mediums. The MCU is the real canon of all that is film.
To me this is a clear indication and nod directly from the writers or whoever that Mysterio is making it up.
That's... not how it works. The MCU is already in the multiverse the comics take place in. Has a designated Earth number and everything.
Seriously, who gives these designation? Let's assume that Mysterio is actually a dimension-hopper and is completely on the up-and-up. He found a new universe and decided to name it "616". Who taps him on the shoulder and says "no, ser, 616 is already taken"?
Can't the MCU be "Earth Dimension 616" anyway from the point of view of its residents?
(this is an honest question, by the way. Is there an in-universe arbitrator of these stuff?)
But how do we explain these then?
616 was previously referenced in Thor: The Dark World.
Spider-Verse did the same thing.
Him saying 616 isn't indicative of anything. Not that Mysterio isn't lying anyway.
No idea how that continuity works. It didn't have an actual plot until like UMvC3 and even that's barebones
Spiderverse happens in 1610, not 616. One of the Spider-Men (loser Spidey, probably) is the 616 incarnation at some point where everything went to shit, which is every other week for him.
Just pictured Thanos with one of those old timey green visors.
Because things are different in the MCU than they are in the comics.
Plus I though the MCU number was Earth-199999
I'm betting he's lying but there's some after credits scene revealing a rift or something confirming the existence of another 'verse. Though I wouldn't be all that surprised if this is a double bluff on Marvel's part, I'll be happy as long as Mysty has some kinda heel turn.
I'd be shocked if this happens considering Sony's penchant for spoiling everything in their trailers.
Maybe this is how they get Miles into the picture though.
