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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

After Captain Marvel came out, people have been speculating that Fury was a Skrull retroactively going back to Age of Ultron because he said in Captain Marvel that he never eats toast that is cut diagonally.

Ooooh, or Fury didn't bounce back as quickly as it appeared in Winter Soldier, and he was off recuperating while Talos was covering for him. They've been trading off. And the weirdly soft-and-fuzzy Fury talking to Tony in the barn was the real Fury--though he still ate the diagonal sandwich.

Thrive to spite them
We just saw this. I have to say I wasn't really expecting what happened. The pacing felt uneven but that I guess was from the fake outs going on with Mysterio. I hated the first tag ending , which I guess is the real ending, but I don't like Spider Man being threatened like that. Especially when Peter is such a ball of stress. I did like the illusion world and the way it was created. we just saw Spider Man in to the spider verse last week and the illusions moving around reminded me of the final fight and the worlds collapsing in on each other. I also felt bad for Flash. I guess either Fury was a Kree all the time or only this time but what about Hill? What is up with her?
