Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).

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.
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?
Just back from Far From Home. I absolutely loved the scenes with Spider-man battling Mysterio's illusions. That was some absolute classic comic book Mysterio stuff and it looked absolutely fantastic.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I knew Mysterio was going to end up a villain. Pretending to be a hero is his whole schtick. I did not expect the Multiverse to be a lie.
Watching the latest Legion, it occurred to me that the design of the Time Demons and the effect they had on the narrative really had the vibe of what Bill S. was doing back in New Mutants.
NICE
Awww YISS.
I think I am going to continue to think of the next Thor movie as "Thor 4: More Thor".
Have seen Far From Home, hooray! I really appreciate how it was totally a Spider-Man movie with that particular tone and Peter doing the Hero's Journey like whoa, but also was so solidly enmeshed with the Avengers. Really well done.
