History Film / SpiderManFarFromHome

* ObituaryMontage: The ending includes a StylisticSuck-laden example for [[spoiler:the characters who died in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.]] It's accompanied by Music/WhitneyHouston's cover of "[[Music/DollyParton I Will Always Love You]]".

* NeverTrustATrailer: At the start of the movie, Spider-Man participates in a charity event hosted by May. In the first trailer, he's wearing the red and blue suit that Tony gave him in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. In the movie, he's wearing the Iron Spider suit during those scenes.

!'''Spoilers for ''all'' preceding Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies, including ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', will be left unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!'''

** In the comics, [[spoiler:J. Jonah Jameson was antagonistic of Spider-Man, but the character ([[DependingOnTheWriter still]]) maintained a [[NobleDemon sense of honor]]. Most importantly, Jameson was InUniverse considered a good journalist who did his research, and it's because of his high reputation that the likes of Aunt May and Gwen Stacy in the comics expressed dislike for Spider-Man, since Jameson really did build up a lot of trust over the years among his readers for them to take his word over Spidey's. Likewise, Jameson was shown as a champion of civil rights in ASM #91-92 (published in 1970-1971) as well as his involvement in the ''Franchise/XMen'' story arc "Operation: Zero Tolerance" (where he basically told Bastion to shove his bribe to Jonah up his own ass), having fairly progressive leanings. Here, Jameson is reimagined as a fanatical, fear-mongering conspiracy theorist directly modeled after Alex Jones (with whom Jameson would have a number of political disagreements to say the least), while "[=TheDailyBugle.net=]" has a controversial reputation (much like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfoWars InfoWars]]) when in the comics it had a reputation for being a "newspaper of record"]]. All that said, this also a case of OlderThanTheyThink. [[spoiler:J. Jonah Jameson's early appearances in 1963 involved him slandering Spider-Man and starting conspiracy theories on TV news. He was also notably ''not'' the Editor of the ''Bugle'', but rather owned the company that published it and used his power as such to bluntly spread lies about Spider-Man.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: Thanks to his mastery of lies and illusions, [[spoiler:did Beck really die or did he fake his death]]?
* AnAesop: As the BigBad says, "It's easy to fool people when they're already fooling themselves".
** It's easy for people to believe what they want to believe rather than deal with the truth. Peter's so eager for someone else to take the burden of being "the next Tony Stark" that [[spoiler:he eagerly sees the best in Quentin Beck and easily falls into his trap, dodges his responsibilities and procrastinates, only for that to almost lead to disaster. The MCU HoldingOutForAHero leads many to latch onto Mysterio as a ReplacementGoldfish, which he exploits to his benefit, fooling the likes of "Fury" (Talos), Peter, and J. Jonah Jameson]].
** Nobody is really what they seem. [[spoiler:The "Nick Fury" and "Maria Hill" that we've seen throughout the movie are actually the Skrull couple Talos and Soren. Flash Thompson is not nearly as much of a jerkass with a good life as he tries to make himself out to be. MJ and other high-school kids, as is clear in the Tower Vault scene, mostly put on poses to cover their insecurities. This also applies to Peter, who underrates himself and overrates Tony. As Happy reminds Peter, "nobody can live up to Tony... not even Tony Stark" who was "a mess... and all over the place"]].

* AllThereInTheManual: The ''Daily Bugle'' ARG provides some extra details on what happened in between the end of the movie and TheStinger, along with what happened after said Stinger and expanding on the aftermath of [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the Blip]].

* AlternateUniverse: After being explained in ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' and further discussed in ''Avengers: Endgame'', this film shows that S.H.I.E.L.D. is aware of the existence of the Multiverse. Later works will prove [[spoiler:Beck's talking out of ass. At this point, [[Series/Loki2021 the TVA is still pruning alternate realities.]]

* AbusiveParents: At the end of the movie, when the kids are all safe at home after their repeated horrible ordeals across Europe, they're all getting picked up by their parents. Except Flash, who's picked up by the family chauffeur.
-->'''Flash:''' Hello, Gerald. Could mother not make it? Oh.

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:The Skrulls, shape-shifting masters of deception, fall for Mysterio's illusions. This is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the post-credits scene by Talos, who remarks that, as a shapeshifter, he's embarrassed and should've known better.]]

* AlternateUniverse: After being explained in ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' and further discussed in ''Avengers: Endgame'', this film shows that S.H.I.E.L.D. is aware of the existence of the Multiverse. Later works will prove [[spoiler:Beck's talking out of ass. At this point, [[Series/{{Loki}} the TVA is still pruning alternate realities.]]

* CruelTwistEnding: When it looks like Peter's got everything going for him, [[spoiler: J. Jonah Jameson appears with doctored footage from Mysterio that exposes Peter's secret identity while simultaneously framing him for murder.]]

--->"Tony was my best friend, and he was a mess. He second-guessed everything he did. He was all over the place. The one thing that he did that he didn’t second-guess was picking you. I don’t think Tony would’ve done what he did if he didn’t know that you were going to be here after he was gone."
