6/13/2023 0 Comments Spider man far from home![]() ![]() It’s a good thing he’s been able to perfect his Spidey Sense/Peter Tingle because he’s going to need that level of “not getting shot in a rainstorm of bullets” to survive in the next movie. ![]() The bad news is that he’s going to need all the help he can get ASAP. In the end, Spidey makes sure to destroy all the drones, as it’s his responsibility to eliminate a power that shouldn’t be in anyone’s hands. Even the hero’s use of it is sketchy in its own way. This one gets more blatant because the villain actually gets to use it for evil. The whole Big Brother surveillance thing led to a short-lived argument between Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox where Fox was all, “This spits in the face of freedom,” and Wayne was all, “Let me just use this shady piece of tech to catch the serial killer clown and then I promise I’ll blow it up.”įor Spider-Man, it’s about the drones, which is another modern political tie-in. Even Mysterio’s whole beef comes from, “Nobody cared who I was until I wore the mask.”īut the biggest one is the “political super weapon that goes too far.” The Dark Knight had a whole thing about Batman using advanced technology to essentially wiretap all of Gotham City. There’s stuff like how Zendaya’s Michelle Jones identifying herself as “MJ” at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming is the same spirit as John Blake being “Robin” at the conclusion of The Dark Knight Rises. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help but notice the similarities between the MCU Spider-Man movies and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. I’m personally shocked that he died due to how much of a shoe-in he’d be for the Sinister Six, especially with Mac Gargan and Vulture already supplying the hate-on for Tony Stark and Spider-Man. Except in the comics, he was ruining Daredevil by setting up Karen Page’s murder.Īnd yet in death he’s more powerful than any giant fire monster. He even did it as part of a plot to successfully ruin a superhero’s life. There, it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound as well, but it was explicitly a suicide. The Death of Mysterioįirst off, I like that they found a PG-13 way to rewrite Mysterio’s comic book death. Nothing as radical as what Mysterio was pretending to be from, but with the upcoming What If series on Disney+, the continued weirdness coming in Doctor Strange 2, and whatever Marvel has in mind to explain mutants as eventually being a thing, I have to imagine that this fake backstory is merely a hint of what’s to come. There’s a world where Thanos and his armies vanished one day and never returned. There’s a world where Loki escaped with the Space Stone. Even the MCU Mandarin was walked back with the reveal that there really is an evil overlord lurking in the shadows who isn’t a drunk loser putting on a performance.Įndgame brings up the idea of there being alternate realities, but those are ones born out of time travel weirdness. Agents of SHIELD spent much of its first season insisting that mind-reading is impossible, but it’s only a matter of time before Charles Xavier shows up in the MCU in some form. Scooby-Doo and his friends spent years proving that there was no actual ghost, but then they went and did stories where they actually met ghosts. If you hint at the impossible, then the impossible will exist. The thing about sci-fi/fantasy worlds like this is that it’s hard to be purely cynical. Using Mysterio’s back story about another universe is a cute misdirection in itself, what with Spider-Man’s last starring role being in a movie about a multiversal team-up. We’re used to Marvel taking liberties with their villains, much like what we got with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 and sympathetic Skrulls in Captain Marvel. That Mysterio was almost exactly like his comic self was the real twist. He was a villain and likely the one who created the monsters to begin with. Mysterio was no superhero fighting monsters. The moment Mysterio was revealed in the Far From Home trailer, it was the most obvious plot twist to any comic fan. But let’s take a closer look at the Spider-Man: Far From Home ending… The MCU Multiverse is Fake (for now) Spider-Man beats the bad guy, gets the girl, the grizzled higher up gives him a pat on the back, and he gets to go back to happily swinging around the streets of New York. No, the initial ending is pretty straightforward at first.
