To date, Spiderman: Far From Home has grossed $970 million dollars, with Entertainment Weekly stating that “Spider-Man: Far From Home is a worshipful, slippery ode to Iron Man”. This is the wall crawler’s second solo film in the MCU, along with his featured appearances in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. This movie is a sequel to the Endgame, and the life of Spiderman after the lost of Tony Stark.
This film explains how Earth’s inhabitants began to cope with life after The Avengers defeat Thanos and those who died in the Snap, returning 5 years later as life moved on. Peter wants to live a normal life, but soon realizes that as an Avenger, he is always on call, especially when dealing with Nick Fury. Peter is gifted with Tony’s glasses codename E.D.I.T.H., Happy Hogan as his entrusted personal mentor, and has access to Stark’s technology. With this tech, Peter has a way to make any suit needed in his crime fighting career as Tony did. Will we see more of these web suit concepts in future films? How about tech features of the E.D.I.T.H sunglasses? Do you believe such technology exist today? Now that Happy Hogan is dating Aunt May, how do you think this would affect Peter’s personal life as well as his duties as Spiderman the Avenger?
What were your thoughts on Mysterio? Before the release of this film, there were rumors that the Multiverse would be involved in the story plot. During the course of the movie, the audience believed that Mysterio was a good guy from another dimension when the multiverse was mentioned. Maybe at that point in Peter’s mind, he believed Tony Stark could be alive in another dimension. Jake Gyllenhaal portrays the villain well, with first belief as being a new hero to the world but then later revealing himself to be a disgruntled former employee of Stark. Quentin used Stark’s tech that he helped design, to make illusions of grandeur. Even after his defeat, Mysterio was able to be a step ahead of Peter by revealing Peter’s secret identity to the world, a wild card Toomes probably felt he’d keep for himself during the ending credits of SpiderMan: HomeComing. What are your thoughts on Jake portraying the Master of Illusion?
Comic book fans instantly recognized the four elementals that Mysterio used to deceive the public. The first elemental Mysterio battles is Earth, which is reference from the comic villain Sandman. There was a small scene in the movie where MJ mentioned that there were reports of a scientist that could control sand after being a victim of an experiment gone wrong. The next elemental that was seen was the Air element, which was representing the villain Cyclone. The most notable villain that we recognized was Hydro man when Mysterio was battling him in Venice, Italy. That scene was an incredible display of CGI effects. The last Elemental we see was Fire, which was referenced from the comic villain Molten Man. These villains were brought to the MCU as illusions, will the MCU feature SpiderMan’s real villains like Sony did in the Amazing SpiderMan series or will the MCU SpiderMan only face threats that are only handled with the Avengers?
What are your overall thoughts for this film? What will be the the future for SpiderMan in the MCU? Will Peter continue to work alongside Happy Hogan, create more suits and become more involved as an Avengers or will he stay as the friendly neighborhood SpiderMan, now that his identity has been revealed by Mysterio and J. Jonah Jameson?? Leave your comments bit below and make sure to check out the SideShow Collectibles newest addition for SpiderMan: Far From Home! You don’t want to miss this!!
