Spider-Man: Far From Home |Spoiler OT| Even dead, I'm the hero
- Thread starter Deleted member 1248

Wonder if they fast-track his "redemption" since they're making it clear he's more like Peter than he would like to admit, upon finding out about Peter being Spider-Man. At least in the next movie, I'd like to see Flash be more than a dick for most of his screen time.
I think I found my next wallpapers, I hope they are big. I'm on iPhone i can't tell lol
Endgame had the best visuals in the series and then this movie immediately topped it
I thought it was terribly done. You had a whole film to make this mean something, and they just tack it in at the end. They could have had a real genuine moment during his action segment.
This is one of, if not the most, thrilling sequences in comic book movies.
It was a dream come true for me. Not only was Mysterio in Spidey movie and his design intact, we get this scene that is the most Mysterio shit ever. The more I think about the movie, the more I like it and that's rare. It was the opposite with Endgame; I really love it, but it was a tough movie to sit and stew on.
Agreed, that was more of a second act scene. By the time the next movie comes, everyone will have forgotten it.
Just got back, wow so good!
Questions.
Population thinks just Cap is dead ? Nobody knows about Falcon yet right?
The guy who Obadiah originally berated and was in charge of mysterios hologram tech. He's seen taking it all via memory stick. Is he somebody in the comics?
Shield is officially in Space working with the Skrulls! So NOVA and Annihilis??
And omg at J Jonah is back, what a surprise.

Watched it last night.
It was awkward and a bit cringe worthy in the first half, perhaps intentionally so, but damn starting from the reveal it picks up speed and ends on a great note.
That Mysterio fight in the abandoned building is hella hype and trippy, way more than even Dr Strange's which was unfortunate because this is supposed to be his forte.
Dr. Strange will steamroll Mysterio in a direct fight so hard though lmao.

This movie was extremely great! Loved it, and Mysterio was such a good villain. That "nightmare" scene was just amazing.
They really are going all in in the Ben Parker -> Tony Stark, and I really don't have a problem with that, I get it and it works.
Also the action scenes look great! It really shows that Peter is more experienced. And MJ and Peter are just way to cute.
Also I caught this while watching the movie, you think it is an actual nod or am I reaching?
Mid credits scene is amazing, I was so excited when I saw J. K. Simmons, like holy shit. Post credits is interesting, the skrulls might play an important role in the next phase it seems.

Probably a nod, especially with the other cap reference from Happy.This movie was extremely great! Loved it, and Mysterio was such a good villain. That "nightmare" scene was just amazing.

Talos (as Nick) mentioned something about Krew sleeper cells and given that Fury seems to be with the Skrulls and Marvel has always been about that life, I wonder if they're going to explore the Skurll-Kree war but as the Skrull and Humans/Avengers on one side of that.This movie was extremely great!

I just have to say how much I loved Mysterio's (real) costume - the mocap suit and fishbowl helmet looked amazing!
I think the film kind of drags a bit in the first half but then after the twist it really picks up and is great from that moment onwards.

I was so genuinely happy to see JK Simons back, it was a dream come true. I kind of hate that the villain is yet another person Tony has scorned. And also that Peter is not the little guy that has to pull himself by his bootstraps to save the day anymore: no money problems, no suit problems it could have been a great social commentary on how the young people struggle and are fucked over but I guess they want the story moving faster.
Jon Favreau is a great actor and gave an excellent and touching performance in the airplane scene. It was also nice to see Sam L Jackson playing a funnier Nick Fury. I still hate that they are yet again aping the Ultimate comics by having Peter being groomed to become the next big hero but at least they are leaving alone the « Fuck yeah America » theme of the books.
Mysterio better not be dead but I feel he is given that Gyllenhal is too big an actor to stay with one franchise.
The post credits scene did absolutely work wonders and now I can't wait to see the rest of the story and especially if they really are going to stick with Peter being unmasked.

I'm still impressed by how clever the writers are with tying the villains into the MCU.
Mysterio being the product of hologram technology that Tony Stark repurposes for his personal use, which has been an element since Iron-Man 1. His design being a response to characters like Thor, who have made people susceptible to believe anything.
I can think as far as 'Hey, the Falcon has wings. Vulture has wings too. Maybe they could be from the same place?'. But the Shocker has a gauntlet that was disgarded in the fight between Captain America and Crossbones - that's such slick storytelling.
They're so good at building off of what's been established, finding a little foothold in past movies to springboard off of.

Mysterio was awesome.
But there's a question I had: Doesn't SHIELD at least check some personal background of people they work with? I mean Beck worked for Stark, how difficult could it be?

I wonder if there's a deleted scene with him trying to call home/mum repeatedly, then somebody catching him and him pretending to live stream.
Also, I'm absolutely no comics expert but was Flash ever rich? Only really rich "friend" of Peter I can think of is Harry.. would it be mad to think that Flash has some connection to Norman? His mum's divorced and dating/engaged to him, that's why she's distant?
Fury wasn't himself. Talos admitted he was ashamed of having been fooled.
They weren't busy. It's kind of laid out clearly. Talos, with directions from Fury wanted Spiderman to step up.
For example, those drones could do nothing to either Thor or Hulk. Thor would end it with one lightning blast that would take out each drone.
I don't think SHIELD exists anymore. It's just fury, maria hill and random extras that pop up as the plot demands. Plus Fury isn't fury, it's just talos disguised as fury while the real fury is in space. I bet talos doesn't even know what SHIELD was.

i had to leave after the mid credits... what happened in the post credit?
Ended up seeing this last night and I enjoyed it. Mysterio was a real highlight and visually it was great - the illusion stuff, of course, but I really enjoyed all the different locales and setpieces.
But I'm kind of baffled people seemed to think it was better than Homecoming. I don't love Homecoming, really, but it felt better in pretty much every category - better humor, better drama, better supporting cast, better bad guys. The action sequences are pretty much the only thing FFH clearly has over the first movie.

Fury and Hill are revealed to have been Talos and his wife the whole time.
It then cuts to Fury, somewhere in space working with the Skrulls.
The whole Flash bit was really subtle. I missed the hacking part and thought that line in the airport was out of place. I think the tone just didn't fit.
Man I don't remember anything about this scene. Why is it so special again?
Some of these legit look like stills from Insomniac's Spider-Man.
He openly say that he's from different universe, what does it matter if there's a Beck that is ex stark enployee in this universe. Once he manage to sell that alternate universe bs, the rest is easy
Saw this last night, what a spectacular movie. The humor was incredible, while the action and characters moments all worked perfectly as well. There is no way mysterio is actually dead. This is an absolute top tier marvel movie, probably cracks into my top 5 if not top 3. And that mid credit scene! JK Simmons is back and holy crap no secret identity? This movie was way better then any other spiderman movie ever made. The Peter tingle joke was fantastic, but seeing spidey get his spider sense was awesome.
On a sidenote, the quality of spiderman stories we have gotten in the last year is astounding. PS4, Spiderverse and this. The non-comics media is just killing it with Spiderman lately. Far better then the comics.

With Flash I think they're just setting him up to be a character who is 'flash over substance' (his actual name is Eugene), I don't think the implications of his wealth go beyond that. Also Peter comandeers a car belonging to Flash's dad and it doesn't look like a Norman Osborn vehicle.
Flash in the comics was your standard jock. He got more development post highschool with the Agent Venom stuff
This Flash seems to be a more modern bully where he's more akin to a troll.
I think ASM had the best Flash. He was a bully but he lays off of it when Peter's uncle dies and tries to apologize
Also all the Flashes are huge Spidey fans
You guys probably already talked about this, but what I really loved was how it was both a "summer vacation" movie and a stealth, straight up Iron Man 4. Peter literally inherited all of Tony's problems - disgruntled employees, morally questionable weapons tech, and then had to rebuild on the fly to adapt and fight the threat. Mysterio is gracefully turned from an "Avengers" or Thor esque villain into something from Tony's neighborhood pantheon, and it works.
The Captain nods I think were a bit of an evolution - suggesting that Peter has the chance to take the best of Tony *and* Steve, but even when Peter gets outed,it still basically follows the arc of Iron Man 1, where Tony decides he can't spend his life hiding what he is AND doing what he is compelled to do. Peter is now thrust into that exact situation, only without the sufficiently inflated ego to buffer the impact. And we get to skip movies worth of "they can't find out who I am!!!"
(Would love to see a shot of Vulture in prison, shaking his head.)

Saw it last night. I liked it but the first third or so of the movie was pretty slow but fast at the same time. It's like there's a lot going on, but nothing really. It's weird. At some point, it gets better and it's just an awesome movie from there on. Mid and post credit scenes are great! MCU is going full cosmic in phase 4, can't wait to see what will happen.
Another thing is that SpiderMan is clearly going to be a main force from now on. So the reveal is weird but may work. Or it will be solved in another way

Yeah that moment did not feel deserved. Also lol at Flash calling his mom "mother" like it's London in a different time. Felt pretty odd.
Yeah, Mysterio would have been a really good villain for Iron Man too. Way better than Killian.
I don't felt like it was done terrible. Flash is not the nicest person but I feel like he can be a nice guy. Brad on the other hand was more unlikable.
When all the parents showed up and Flash had only his butler I felt really sad for him
I see this a lot. What does it mean? Like, twenty minutes into any Spider-Man film you see a teenager handling crap that would pulverise Jason Bourne and at least muss up James Bond's dinner jacket. He was bitten by a spider. How does this relate to somebody getting their deserts?
The use of "mother" vs "mom" is deliberate to show the lack of affection between the two, as well as establish the type of person she is. The stern "You must call me mother" type.
But it made no sense to have a sympathetic reveal at that point. You had an entire European vacation to add depth to everyone in the group.
We are just stuck with Penis Parker Flash in the end. Could easily do more with him.
