He'll probably get away with not helping the same way all the other Avengers mysteriously get away with not helping during all the solo movies. He'll just be "busy" or "off-world" :b
Politically, JJ would never be portrayed as an alt-right nut job. But that's the point, he is the one siding with Mysteryo and scammers instead of the hero. It's not a stretch to see him rejecting Sam Wilson as Cap, praising an Osborn's lead "Avengers" team or hating on mutants. Excited to see how he will work within Spidey and the MCU as a whole.
I'm so frustrated at myself for missing the Mysterio reveal's hard pivot. When they were talking in the bar I was really needing to go to the bathroom and I figured this would be a safe time since they'd probably transition back to Peter going to talk to MJ based on the convo so I ran out for about 90 second and came back to Mysterio standing on a table talking about how Stark had wronged them all and I was like "oooooh okay....dammit."
Now I need to go see this again...
Now I need to go see this again...
There's a YouTube video of Simmons voice acting Jameson for some other Spidey media (a game I think). He was obviously as delighted to be back as everybody else at the session was to have him there. It was before anybody knew (or would admit, at least) that he'd be back in Far from Home.
Edit: not posting the link because I think I already did that a few days ago.
Those movies are mainly about Iron Man/Tony Stark though. Spider-Man technically isn't (or at least, shouldn't be).
Who says he recorded that footage? It could have been doctored by his engineers easily. The dude from Iron Man 1 downloaded the footage of Spidey ordering the drones to stand down, then spliced in some doctored footage of wounded Mysterio, added the voice lines and boom.
It's easily possible within the tech he has, since the same tech in Civil War was used to create Tony's farewell to his parents, with voices and all, and we know they already have holographic footage of Mysterio (both in suit with helm and without helm).I want Mysterio to not be dead too, because Gyllenhaal and Mysterio are awesome, but I doubt we'll see him again except maybe as holographic cameo.
I won't even be shocked at this point if three movies from now Tony Stark reveals that he wasn't killed, and he finally has a full-proof plan to build his prison planet. Whether we like it or not.
Hell yeah man, that's why I go to the theater. I'm a comic geek so I knew what was up and I feel like that scene was designed for me just as much as it was for the unaware. They ratchet up the stakes in a huge way right before the reveal that had me being like, "Damnit Peter." It was great.
Dude, yes. Punisher's current line has Zemo forming the Thunderbolts under Mayor Fisk's strike team. Would love to see them circle back to Hydra after all this time.
Wonder what the significance of Talos' line about Kree sleeper cells was. My assumption was that Captain Marvel did help to end the Kree/Skrull war in the time passed. Guess that's not the case, will we get to see it play out in the sequel movie?
Kree infiltrating the earth, with Skrulls helping the Avengers to stop them, is an interesting flip on Secret Invasion.

But they needed to deploy a fake Nick Fury to even hit the point home harder that his endgame made little sense.
I wonder if Inhumans were to play a role on that, if their movie happened. As in, the Kree using the terrigenesis to create soldiers.
Ok some more random thoughts:
- Humour felt a bit more hit-or-miss than in Homecoming. Pretty much everything with the teachers was a miss (the first time one of them mentioned witches was good)
- That long illusion scene... So damn good.
- I really liked the start of the Mysterio reveal but it just went on so long that it started to feel like exposition for exposition's sake.
- I just love Holland's Peter and Zendaya's MJ, and I love them being a thing and MJ knowing Peter's secret. I'm not a big fan of the drama coming from superheroes trying to hide their identity from everyone close to them at all costs. I figured this was going to be a great starting point for the next film until...
- That mid-credits stinger. Wow. The one-two punch of me realising they got J.K. Simmons back (I got so happy!) and then revealing Spidey's identity to everyone. I did not see any of that coming, holy shit. I figured Mysterio was going to frame him or something but not that he'd just drop the name like that.
I enjoyed the movie a lot, but with that ending I can't stop thinking about it.

Saw this on Saturday and while it does have its issues, I had a really good time with this. Think I liked it more than Homecoming in some areas. I thought they did a great job with Mysterio here and had a blast watching his character. The scenes with him putting Peter through those illusions were fantastic and I know someone else in here said it but that shot of him in the snowglobe is a damn good shot. I'll be fine if he's actually dead as I feel that scene was handled well but I enjoyed the character so much, I'd love to see him come back.
Also, that mid credits scene got my hyped. They recast one of the best castings on comic book movies and hit us with that reveal.Again, while these Spider-Man films do have their problems, I still enjoy them a bunch and Tom Holland plays such a good version of this character that I want to see more. I am very excited to see where they go from here.

The first hint:
So you're saying Samuel L Jackson has just been Ben all this time? Mind blown.
My only gripe is that I wish there was more of the Mysterio illusions against Spiderman. Got some SpiderVerse vibes from it all. He completely dismantled Peter after that first fight, and I wish Peter was beaten down just a bit more from it. He bounced back pretty quick after talking to Happy. The first third of the movie was a bit too long imo.
Still not a better movie than Spiderman 2 though. Maybe a better Spiderman movie if that makes sense.

It's funny because his performance comes off as someone doing an awkward Fury impression. It made me laugh at the end when Happy tells him that Peter will call him, and he gives this nervous laugh.
Whoa. I didn't recognize him, despite having seen him as an adult before.
He should have warned Quentin that if he overrode safety protocols... he'll shoot his eye out.
Woah, and he was actually an EP for Iron Man. That was probably just a vanity cameo at the time lol
Talos is responsible for exposing Peter's identity. Nick Fury would probably have never told him to unmask himself when entering the cave, it was Talos, who had no experience with heroes with secret identities, that told him to unmask himself and introduce his real identity to Mysterio.
"Never invoke her name" when referring to Captain Marvel alone makes the whole thing worth it.

I'd be up for a MCU Pete meeting Garfield Spider-man and McGuire Spider-man.
It would be fun like a Doctor Who Anniversary special but it would also mean the Raimi and Amazing Spider-Man movies would be MCU "canon".
I want Secret Wars making all those old movies canon. Bring back even Henry Cavill as Hyperion to make the failed DCEU "canon" :v
Affleck should come back as Daredevil though. And Jennifer Garner as Elektra.
Mysterio's entire plan hinged on Peter never wearing the glasses around him and noone in the world recognizing him or running a photo of him for a match. That's cute.
How would he know for sure that Peter hadn't seen him at Stark Industries?
The whole thing is a giant WTF.
Night Monkey was cute, though.

You think Mysterio and his team didn't have a contingency for that too? He would probably have pretended to be surprised, and convinced everyone that person was the Quentin Beck of 'Universe 616', even if the name was different.
Loved it. Peter and MJ are adorable. Mysterio was a great villain and I hope he's brought back.
Tons of great action scenes but my favorite has to be Peter going Ultra Instinct in the hallway at the end.

That's just too much of a stretch. I'm not going to do the writers' work for them.
If they'd snuck in something about him faking another version of himself since he was fired then... nah, that still wouldn't be enough.
The nature of his work and him having beef with Stark just raises huge red flags even if you think there are multiple versions of him.
Yeah he didn't hid himself to "fury" or no one, they used alternated earth cover-up so if they asked the Mysterio team would have an out
Also do we know for a hundred percent Quentin Beck is his real name? Or did they just roll with the name he gave them and don't know his real one from his stark days?
I think he has a line where he suggests his writer helped "create" Quentin Beck. It's not 100% confirmation, but it would solve the nitpick I've seen others complain about that Nick Fury/Talos should have been able to learn about the real Quentin Beck's history from their universe working for Tony Star on hologram tech. If Beck is essentially a fictional character all around, it would at least make it a bit more plausible that his fictional biography wouldn't get holes punched in it right away.
I don't fully understand the Asian dude. The HS news segment said people who blipped came back as if they were never gone. Why was this blipped dude ripped? Was it just an unsolved mystery?
Also, there was the HS footage of people returning to the exact same spot as they blipped from, but was the before and after both a pep rally? I cant remember now but it made it seem like they were never gone.

Are you talking about Brad? He wasn't snapped lol, he used to be younger than Peter, but in the 5 years he was gone he hit puberty and what not and is now Peter's age.
