Previous Spiderman movies turned me off the character so I hadn't watched Homecoming until tonight. It was indeed adorable.
SpiderBaby is adorable!
Far From Home was pretty much everything I wanted in a Spider-Man movie.
I kind of wanted a callback to Tony telling him if he was nothing without the suit then he didn't deserve the suit, but that was a message for another movie.
This was a lovely Tony eulogy.
Connie, I also loved the scene where Peter was building the suit in the back of the Stark jet. That was fantastic.
And I will never stop laughing that apparently the only actor who can play J Jonah Jameson is JK Simmons. That made me laugh so much that it took away from the HSQ of Mysterio outing Peter.
I thought the movie modernized Mysterio pretty well. I also assumed that even though the trailer made him look like an ally to Spider-Man, he would be the bad guy, but I sure didn't expect him to be a disgruntled Stark Industries employee with a whole squad backing him up.
The stealth suit was pretty sweet.
I know that Peter's situation is different, being a high school student and all, but no one else in the MCU has a secret identity!
Someone want to explain to me what was happening in the second post credit scene. I mean I get what I was actually seeing but what? when?
sj Fury and Maria were actually Skrulls, introduced in Captain Marvel as a race of shapeshifters who were the ruthless enemy of the Kree, but were actually more of an oppressed population. The two Skrull playing Fury and Maria are the leaders of the Skrull who were hiding on Earth, and apparently they've stayed on Earth to work with SHIELD. Fury is actually hanging out on a spacecraft of some sort that's manned by Skrulls and humans. Some people think that spacecraft is going to be the base for SWORD, the SHIELD organization that works with extraterrestrial threats.
Remember that in Fury's briefing with Peter toward the beginning, he said that Mysterio was "from Earth, but not your Earth." Big clue that it wasn't actually Fury.
Another was Fury finding out that Stark had given a teenager control of what's effectively a decentralized drone-based Project Insight and only objecting to its accidental misuse rather than its existence at all.
