One thing I love about Jax's reations is her attention to detail and good memory of past movies. If she hadn't pointed out Beck hiding at 10:22 I would've never notice him. And its something I don't see other reactors figuring out too.
Well, she probably noticed that when editing for sure. No normal human being could catch that millisecond of a shot about some dude hiding in the corner, come on haha
Now that you'r at this point with the movies, we recomend you react to the Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy (2002- 2007) and the Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man" Duology (2012-2014). At certain point in the succecion of events, they will make a certain homenages to those films that you can apreciate more if you watch it. (Don't spoilers to those who knows please ;) )
I'm generally not sympathetic to the "you have to watch all sorts of shows to really get this" vibe, but in this case seeing all three Tobey Maguire and both Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies is a good idea. They form a solid base for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
@@Caseytify I don't think it's strictly necessary, but there are some things that are extra special if you've seen them. It felt like they made the movie as a love letter to those. Even though they're technically from a competing studio, it's so cool that Marvel's sharing so much love and appreciation.
3:57 I heard a theory that Bruce 'Hulk' specifically kept that in mind and if someone is in mid air, or travelling, they will be un-blip to a nearest safe place. I can also assume Bruce, who is technically smart would have thought about this, specially when they had 5 years to process everything in between those 2 snaps.
Also, I heard the reason it damaged the Hulk so much more than Thanos was the fact that he tried to bring back Natasha, and the stones could bring everyone back except her.
The 2nd post credit scene also allows for an explanation why the Avengers weren't involved. I find in stories like this where its a massive crisis that its hard to not just throw Thor or Dr Strange onto the issue so having Fury actually be Talos helped keep it a Spiderman story
Great reaction as usual! 😁 Now that you're here in your MCU journey, I have a recommendation for you... If you haven't watched the Sam Raimi trilogy (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3), as well as the Marc Webb duology (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2), it would definitely be a good idea to do so soon~ 😌
Yeah, in the civil war comics. Spider man agrees to help Iron Man round up all the super heroes who are against the Sokovia accords. And basically throw them in prison in an alt dimension/space thing. As part of him joining Iron man Peter reveals his Identity on the news. Then go read the rest it’s a really good story.
The Journalist at the end who announced Peter's identity was J. Jonah Jameson, played by the same actor who played him in the Tobey McGuire Spider Man movies, JK Simmons. You should watch those too, because they're great (at least the first two).
I’m am SO happy you’re continuing the Marvel stories after Endgame. I lost my brother on the 27th and I’ve been watching your videos for comfort. Thank you ❤️
some of the attack isnt fake, he has hundreds of drones shooting but also projecting a hologram to make it look like an "elemental" attack its super clever, combining illusion with reality
Picking Peter and Spider-man to close out phase 3 is, as you said, the perfect choice. They could cover the fallout from The Blip, tie up loose threads, set up things coming in the next phase, and do it with the humor and goodheartedness that is part and parcel to Peter and his superhero journey. I absolutely love the time and reverence given to Tony and what he did to defeat Thanos. REALLY looking forward to you getting to the third Spider-man movie. Make sure you are buckled in as it is amazing 😃
It's great seeing Mysterio in a Spiderman movie and they done him pretty cool. Even if he's another person Tony Stark pissed off. Also that ending just amazing.
After a quick google search you can't take fruits and vegies (and in some cases meat and fish) over state borders is due to possible insects and diseases that can travel on the food.
It's been so fun taking this MCU journey with you. Phase 4 is not everyone's favorite but it does open up some new doors. Can't wait to watch it with you.
The perfect antidote for Endgame (which I also loved), bringing back the sense of joy…and then ending with that giant sting in the tail. Since this was the third iteration of Spider-Man films, they played really fast and loose with the supporting cast, not only with the casting (in the comics, MJ isn't black, Liz isn't Indian, Ned isn't Filipino, and Flash isn't Persian), but placing everyone in high school, whereas originally (as seen in the Tobey Maguire films), Betty was Jameson's secretary and Ned was a reporter. And in the comics, Betty and Ned were married for about 25 years' worth of issues, so it's adorable to see the "summer fling" between such very different versions of the characters. (I love how they break up because they're "different people"…in a scene where they are wearing matching shirts and finishing each other's sentences. Lol, totally different, indeed.)
Those fuzzy hat guards are not ceremonial. They are the King's Guards (Queen's Guards at the time of the movie) and as such are armed and tasked with guarding the monarchy. A subset of this unit guards the Tower of London - the Yeomen of the Guard, also known as the Beefeaters. If you're familiar with the gin, you know that they aren't dressed like the fuzzy hat guards, but I think the movie had them in the fuzzy hats so American audiences wouldn't be confused.
My favorite scene is in the Stark Plane when Peter puts his hand into the holographic glove, just as Tony did, and then Back in Black plays just like the first movie.
I don't know if you notice but everytime there's an illusion the drones are still there doing all the damage. So closing your eyes is still a bad thing because the drones can still attack you. But Peter has spider sense so that's how he was able to see things coming even when his eyes are closed. Ned and MJ was blipped. Why would they be in Peter's class if they haven't. They should be in college now if they didn't get blipped.
Nice catching Quentin Beck spying on Peter in Venice. Very nice. I've seen this film multiple times and I never caught that. Your attention to detail is amazing Jax.
As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I was very familiar with Mysterio going in, from the comics to the games to the cartoons. The master of illusion. Yet, before the big reveal, I was convinced they were doing something different with him. I thought "oh this is new, but maybe he gets his villain arc in this movie?" Nope, just fell for the illusion. It helps that Earth 616 and 833 are real concepts in the comics, 616 being the _main_ Marvel universe where most characters were created and operate in. With Spider-verse fresh in people's minds and Marvel teasing the idea of a multiverse, it was easy to believe. The Mysterio scene at the warehouse was perhaps the best scene in the MCU for me at the time, even more trippy than the Dr. Strange one. I'd waited for years to see a live action interpretation of Mysterio's illusions, and they absolutely delivered. Also, while simply not looking isn't enough to completely do away with Mysterio's illusions, the hero Daredevil (who is blind) is known to not fall for them because he too has a sixth sense, and no vision to be confused by. The next movie in the trilogy is my favorite, it's definitely a mind-blower.
they even adapted his story perfectly, in comics he wanted recognition for his special effects but didn't got much so he turned evil, same happened here where he didn't got recognition for his illusion tech
I love how the twist worked so well for even those of us who read the comics, simply because over the decade we had all become comfortable with the MCU not needing to be comic accurate in a What If sort of way. It was absolutely plausible for for him to have been a good guy. I don't think I've ever been so pleased to be fooled!
@@WDanielFichtel Oh that's a great point. Plus with Sony planning to make all of Spider-Man's villains heroes at the time, combined with not even a hint of Mysterio villainy in the trailers (mostly focusing on Iron Man guilt and working with Nick Fury) we all thought comic inaccuracy was assured.
Oh yeah. FYI The Coldstream guards are not just for show. They have weapons and are an elite unit of guards chosen to protect certain royal palaces and public spaces in London. The big fuzzy hats are made with bear skins and are a distinctive unit badge.
In spider-man lore, Mysterio does not possess any superhuman abilities, he is a former special effects artist, illusionist and actor who uses his talents to commit crimes
48:05 Because once that original resident of the house got blipped the people who didnt get blipped could just move in there for 5 years until the original resident gets blipped back and sees her house doesnt belong to anymore because someone took it while she was gone for 5 years. Remember for the people who was blipped away they lost 5 years of their lives(but from their point of view it felt like an instant from when they were blipped out and blipped back) while the people who didnt get blipped got to spend those 5 years with half of the population gone and ALOT of extra empty spaces to fill.
if I had a nickel for everytime Spider-Man couldn't utilize his powers (or some part of his powers) for some time bcz of stress or trauma in a sequel to their respective first movies, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
I like to think the people who vanished from a plane, etc. Reappeared at their destination, people who disappeared from a car, reappeared on the nearest available sidewalk. You know, best available safe place to reappear. Imagine if someone disappeared from the park where the memorials were raised, and they reappeared partially in the memorial structure... eww. May *did* have to live without Peter. Remember, he was snapped. He was brought back 5 years later. 27:40-27:49 "if Tony's crew is all behind him." Those were not "Tony's Crew" those were a large number of people Tony directly or indirectly embarrassed, ridiculed or ruined in their eyes. This was Beck's approach to trick Tony's successor into handing him the keys to Stark's tools and technology.
@@johnniequinn3215 was that ever confirmed on screen? If so, I don't remember it. Whether shown or mentioned. [I will readily admit, I do *not* have a perfect memory.] Edited for typo
I have been a fan of Spider-Man since 1986. Since 1995, I have been a fan of Mysterio. Through various parallels, Spider-Man: Far From Home resembles Mysterio's initial introduction in Marvel Comics. Spider-Man: Far From Home perfectly translates to Mysterio's debut in Marvel Comics. The movie flawlessly captures the character's core essence and motivations and skillfully modernizes the narrative for today's audience. Mysterio's debut: In both the comic books and the movie, Mysterio is presented as an enigmatic character who asserts to possess extraordinary abilities. Although he seems to be a heroic figure, there is an air of doubt surrounding him. Mysterio presents Spider-Man with a formidable challenge - a public duel in both the comics and the film. Mysterio firmly believes that Spider-Man is a deceitful imposter; his ultimate goal is to unveil this truth to the entire world. Mysterio's utilization of illusions: Mysterio possesses exceptional skills in creating illusions, employing them to deceive and manipulate Spider-Man. Mysterio crafts intricate illusions in the comics or the film that instigate doubt within Spider-Man's perception of reality. Mysterio's genuine intentions: Despite his seemingly heroic facade, Mysterio is indeed a malevolent character. His ulterior motives are driven by self-interest, and he is unhesitant to employ deceit and manipulation to accomplish his objectives. This revelation is evident in both the comic books and the cinematic adaptation.
The best Spider man movie for me because this is the 1st movie that acknowledges spidersense (one of his main pawers!) properly and doesn't just hint at it in one scene then forget about it
Peter Tingles: From the comics, Peter had a lot of crush/love interests, most of which didn't work out, obviously: In high school there was Liz Allen, the burly beefy Flash Thompson's sweetheart. Then was Betty Brant, JJJ;s secretary (more of a crush thing or work-wife), and of course, tragically Gwen Stacy. He finally married Mary Jane Watson. I love that even if underexplored, all the canon ladies of the ;60s found their way(s) into the MCU.
Yes, those are Beefeaters. And they always carry guns when they are on duty. Their rifles are not loaded around the public, but they carry the magazines on them just in case.
Just so you know before this movie was released in theaters Marvel re-released Endgame in selected theaters to beat Avatar's box office totals and the beginning scene with Nick Fury was a post credit scene added to Endgame.
My favorite part of this film was Happy's heart to heart with Peter. Both of them were still mourning the loss of their friend, but Happy also helped Peter come to terms that he doesn't have to become the next Iron Man. Rather, he should just continue being the best Spider-Man around. Happy also confirmed to Peter that reviving him was the main reason Tony contributed to the time heist to begin with. Happy truly is the unsung hero of this film.
Yes - the fuzzy hat guards do carry real guns. What is less clear is whether they are never loaded, always loaded or only loaded at time of threat. Not surprisingly there is no offical answer.
Things to think about going forward in future Marvel movie and series there are no avengers they were disbanded after endgame. And if you're wondering what happened to all the people who flipped back that were in planes or elevator Bruce put them all on the ground that's why it took so long for him to snap his fingers. You should also know no one that gives Natasha her credit for her sacrifice call Bruce credit for bringing everyone back.
Someone confirmed that Hulk considered everyone who was in a plane or ship when they blipped beforehand, and were all relocated to a safe location when brought back.
You did it again, I just woke up and I did not expect to spend the first hour of my day watching a reaction but this was so awesome. Reliving these through you has been a lot of fun Jacqueline!
Hey Jax, great reaction. Thanks for pointing out Beck in the background observing Peter. Never noticed that (with multiple viewings) and it helps explain his Machiavellian machinations...
You are going to love the next Spider-Man movie!! I love Friday mornings when I get up and watch a movie with you .There are still more that you are going to love.I really have to get myself a Captain America t-shirt!!
They did Mysterio justice the best they could, most people don't see through the illusions until it's too late. You did good trying to figure out multiverse
Like others here, I'm really appreciating how well you're paying attention and making connections. I watched this movie in the theater, as well as numerous reactions to it, and I never noticed that shot of Beck casing Peter before the attack in Venice! Good eye! I'm also impressed that you managed to keep asking the right questions, and remain suspicious of Mysterio for so long. In all promotional materials for this film, Beck was presented as possibly being a hero. Comics fans like myself didn't buy it entirely -- we all knew that Mysterio was a long-time nemesis of Spidey's -- but we also knew how the MCU likes to do things differently. For myself, I wasn't sure how it would turn out until Mysterio dropped the illusions and showed his true colours. It wasn't all of Tony's former workers who threw in with Beck and turned against Peter -- just the most disgruntled ones. Happy sure didn't join them, and I'm sure many others didn't, either. Although seeing that many former Stark employees ganging up on a kid and his classmates was awfully disheartening. Your wholehearted smiles at the romantic moments were so endearing. And I loved your laugh when Peter mis-identified the AC/DC song. Keep up the great work!
Such a wonderful video as always Jax! Happy December! 💗 I really love this film, it acts as a second goodbye to Tony and other characters :) (There is a third Spiderman movie, and I am sure like everyone watching - if you haven't watched Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's set of Spiderman films it would be beneficial before watching Tom Holland's next instalment!) 💞 If you are planning on watching the Disney+ shows - they definitely feed into future films! xx
47:45 Yes, both MJ and Ned Blipped during the snap. It was never established, but they are clearly the same age as they were (relatively) before the snap.
The completed Infinity Saga Jax! Again, I so proud of you and your ability to absorb what you’re watching. As well, I love how you always ask such great questions, (in spite of how much I don’t love when people ask constant questions during a movie). I’ll see you in phase 4, Gorgeous.
In the comics, in addition to being a special effects artist (hence all the cool gizmos), Beck is a stuntman. He'd most likely be able to hold his own in a fight.
3:56 yeah or the people who were on a subway car which isn’t there anymore but one is on its way, or on a boat where there is now no more boat etc…they team didn’t think this through before they just snapped people back
At the end of the movie when Peter meets MJ there is a banner of like a path with numbers 1,2,3 and "?" and there is a caption "We are so excited to show you what comes next!". That is great easter egg and foreshadowing for the Phase 4. I remember catching it in theaters I was so proud of myself
The problem of being a comic book fanatic is I already knew Mysterio was a villain . He was one of the Sinister Six, which inluded for instance Dr Octopus, the Vulture and Green Goblin.
Fun fact: when Jake Gyllenhaal says "somebody get this stupid costume off me" in the bar scene at 26:19, that was his real reaction because he thought the scene was over and the cameras stopped rolling lol
I thought it was a reference to how actors react after any scene bcz the costumes are mostly uncomfortable for them 90% of the time, the weather while shooting isnt of much help either (also bcz Mysterio is wearing a mo-cap which actors wear too so it seemed like a perfect reference to that)
Jax, this will blow your mind. So the actor playing the nerdy scientist w/glasses in league w/Mysterio? It's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" all grown up.
"Those fuzzy hat guards have guns!?" Yep, it varies depending on the division, but many (perhaps most) of them are among the best trained guards and marksmen. Their ability to stand still for long periods is seen as a novelty, but they can snap to combat mode in an instant when they need to.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this. Angourie Rice(Betty) and Jacob Batalon(Ned) are together again in "Every Day," based on the novel of that title.
Great reaction Jax, what can I say that hasn't already been said about the Mysterio twist? All us long time comic book fans knew the twist from the start but I sure do enjoy watching people who aren't familiar with the character react. My friend's minds were blown when they saw this movie. Anyways great reaction as always! Keep up the good work! ❤
PLEASE get to Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse (literally the Oscar winner for best animated picture) and Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. Both films are groundbreaking, and arguably the best Spider-Man films period.
The end of The Infinity Saga, hell of a ride, and I've really enjoyed your reactions. But luckily a new saga starts in Phase 4 and we got the TV shows to start adding to the bunch. BUT you may also want to watch Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man movies. And if you REALLY want to go the extra mile, throw the 2 Venom films in and watching at least Season 1 of the Netflix Daredevil, you'll understand why when it happens lol. As for the next few phases...here's what we know so far: Phase 4: WandaVision (TV Show) The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV Show) Loki Season 1 (TV Show) Black Widow (Movie) Marvels What If? Season 1 (TV Show) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Movie) Eternals (Movie) Hawkeye (TV Show) Spider-Man: No Way Home (Movie) Moon Knight (TV Show) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Movie) Ms. Marvel (TV Show) Thor: Love and Thunder (Movie) I Am Groot Season 1 (TV Show) She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (TV Show) Werewolf by Night (Disney+ Special) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (Movie) The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (Disney+ Special) Phase 5 (Current): Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (Movie) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (Movie) Secret Invasion (TV Show) I Am Groot Season 2 (TV Show) Loki Season 2 (TV Show) The Marvels (Movie) Marvels What If? Season 2 (TV Show) (December 22nd) Echo (TV Show) (Releasing in January) Deadpool 3 (Movie) (July 2024) Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (TV Show) (2024) Captain America: Brave New World (Feb 2025) Ironheart (TBA) Daredevil: Born Again (TBA) Phase 6: (What we know So Far) Fantastic Four (May 2025) Thunderbolts (July 2025) Blade (Nov 2025) Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (May 2026) Avengers: Secret Wars (May 2027)
You didn't include the line in this cut but one of the first hints that Nick Fury is not Nick Fury comes WAY early in the movie, when Peter asks why other super heroes can't fight the elementals...he suggests Captain Marvel and "Fury" says "Don't invoke her name." Remember to the Skrulls, especially Talos, Carol is a savior of their race. So I don't know what your plan is for coverage or if you do somethings Patreon only, and I don't know if any of your other viewers have mentioned this... but during Phase 3, between Age of Ultron and Infinity War, there were 5 MCU shows and a miniseries that were not part of the "phase," they were essentially a side story to the Infinity Saga... Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher and the miniseries The Defenders, incorporating all the characters. I don't know what if your plan for viewing is, but you should PROBABLY watch at least the first couple of episodes of Daredevil before you get too deep into Phase 4 ... specifically before the 3rd Spider-Film. Even if you don't watch for your channel but just on your own, might be a good idea ;)
I think an easy way to define the multiverse is a series of universes that do not share the same physical space. Like, you cannot get in a rocket ship and just fly from one universe to another. You have to use something like magic or advanced technology or maybe run super fast - whatever the case, in order to break the dimensional threshold separating the universes from each other. There are an infinite number of them and each one has different physics or different events with a random outcome occur differently than how they went in our own universe, etc. For example, one universe could be entirely 2D or another universe could have Iron Man as a villain or Cap could've been lefty, etc.
The main thing you have to remember about Marvel is they lead you in one direction then flip you upside down, spin you in a circle, flip you over again and send you off in a totally different direction.
Another thoroughly entertaining reaction video, Jax. I especially enjoyed watching you trying to work out how the multiple Earths worked, knowing it was all a lie concocted by Mysterio. :D On a more serious note, 2023 has been particularly unkind to me and revisiting these movies, watching them through your eyes, has been one of the few bright spots. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your wit, and your optimism. You have no idea how these MCU Fridays have kept me going. Bless you (and Lambie, of course) and keep up the good work.
Okay. It wasn’t explained well, but, as I understand it, Bruce made sure everyone was brought back safely. If they were in the air, they ended up on the ground somewhere safe.
15:39 It very much depends on the universe. Alternate Timelines: There's universes that diverge from the mainline comics (Earth-616) where everything up to the time of divergence is the same, acting as an alternate timeline. A great example is Mutant X (Earth-1298) version of Spider-Man. In the mainline comics Spider-Man grows four extra arms but in the end he's able to cure himself depicted in Amazing Spider-Man #102. But Mutant X Peter diverges from this path and instead embraces the extra arms even renaming himself to Man-Spider. This action creates a new universe. Another example is the What if...? comics where events from the mainline comics played out differently. Like what If Captain America became President instead of refusing the offer. What If Wolverine killed the Hulk in his first appearance. What If Uncle Ben lived etc. These can be seen as alternate timelines that diverges from the events we know from the comics. Possible Futures: Then there's universes like Spider-Man 2099 (Earth-928) where it's seen as a possible future of Earth-616. Massive all out war between Mutants and Humanity with massive loses on both sides. Story jumps to the year 2099 where we have Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara. The divergence being this massive Mutant VS Human conflict that created a new future, everything before this was the same as the mainline comics. Days of Future Past (Earth-811) is similar depicting a possible future where the Mutant hunting Sentinels rule North America and have wiped out not only Mutants but Superhero's as well becoming this Terminator like future where humans and Mutants are put in concentration camps. Marvel likes to place futures in alternate timelines as this means that Marvel don't have one set future for it's main universe. Separate Universes: Then we have universes like Earth-1610 also known as the Ultimate Universe. This was a re-imagined and modernized new continuity starting in the year 2000 with Ultimate Spider-Man. Spider-Man's origin was similar but just set during the 2000s. Some characters like Iron Man had whole new origins like how this Tony Stark had a brain tumor instead of damage to his chest. The Avengers were called The Ultimates and were more of a government controlled force. Characters origins were connected closely to the Super Soldier Serum such as the Spider that bite Peter Parker to the creation of the Hulk being born from Banner testing a Super Soldier Serum on him. Everyone wanted to try and re-create the Super Soldier Serum, something the MCU used for the origin of it's Hulk. And character designs were reworked and changed from visual appearance to there outfits. The Ultimate Universe being a whole new continuity means it has zero narrative ties to the events of the Mainline Universe so there's no divergence point, it's not an alternate timeline but a whole differant universe from the beginning. This is the same with the MCU as well in relation to the comics. Earth-833: In this film Mysterio mentions that's he's from Earth-833 (Coincidence) a universe home to William "Billy" Braddock, Spider-UK. We never visit this reality in the comics so we can't say how similar it is to Earth-616.
Welcome to Project blue Beam. Yes, the projection tech is actually real and used currently. You can see small uses of it in Dubai during their festivals as well as certain 3D advertising boards around LA.
The question of the people blipped out of and back onto an airplane that wasn't there anymore. It was stated in background material that everyone was blipped back to a nearby safe place. So no blipping in thousands of feet in the air. There are still bad repurcusions from the blip back though. Like May mentioned that she was blipped back to an apartment that someone else had moved into. There would be lots of that. The people that died when others blipped out like from a pilotless helicopter and car crashes are still dead. Some people remarried only to have their old spouses blip back.
What a chaotic experience! That's sad that the people who died as a result of people being blipped stayed dead. But, I like that when the Hulk snapped, he brought them all back as safely as possible!
Dmitri Smerdyakov is actually one of the first Spider-Man comic villains, who called himself The Chameleon (Spider-Man's nemeses invariably had animalistic names; Lizard, Rhino, Vulture, etc)

Russian artillery still scales higher.
The 2nd post credit scene also allows for an explanation why the Avengers weren't involved. I find in stories like this where its a massive crisis that its hard to not just throw Thor or Dr Strange onto the issue so having Fury actually be Talos helped keep it a Spiderman story

If you haven't watched the Sam Raimi trilogy (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3), as well as the Marc Webb duology (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2), it would definitely be a good idea to do so soon~ 😌

Spoilers
@@BluEx22329 it already happened in the movie though
In the movies, at least; I know it happened at least once in the comics
Yeah, in the civil war comics. Spider man agrees to help Iron Man round up all the super heroes who are against the Sokovia accords. And basically throw them in prison in an alt dimension/space thing. As part of him joining Iron man Peter reveals his Identity on the news. Then go read the rest it’s a really good story.
@@reyraya5876they weren't the sokovia accords in the comics tho it was named after the kid of the lady that spit on Tony no?
The Journalist at the end who announced Peter's identity was J. Jonah Jameson, played by the same actor who played him in the Tobey McGuire Spider Man movies, JK Simmons. You should watch those too, because they're great (at least the first two).
JK Simmons was born to play J Jonah Jameson. And all of the other brilliant roles he's played over the years, including the yellow m&m.

@@robertsanssouci2093sorry for your loss brother, hope you have a great holidays though ! Keep your head up
@@PunishersZeroX Thank you 🙌🏼
I'm so sorry @robertsanssouci2093. My heart goes out to you and your family. ♥️
some of the attack isnt fake, he has hundreds of drones shooting but also projecting a hologram to make it look like an "elemental" attack its super clever, combining illusion with reality
Wow, that's scary! What a clever villain.
Picking Peter and Spider-man to close out phase 3 is, as you said, the perfect choice. They could cover the fallout from The Blip, tie up loose threads, set up things coming in the next phase, and do it with the humor and goodheartedness that is part and parcel to Peter and his superhero journey. I absolutely love the time and reverence given to Tony and what he did to defeat Thanos. REALLY looking forward to you getting to the third Spider-man movie. Make sure you are buckled in as it is amazing 😃
It's great seeing Mysterio in a Spiderman movie and they done him pretty cool. Even if he's another person Tony Stark pissed off. Also that ending just amazing.
After a quick google search you can't take fruits and vegies (and in some cases meat and fish) over state borders is due to possible insects and diseases that can travel on the food.
It's been so fun taking this MCU journey with you. Phase 4 is not everyone's favorite but it does open up some new doors. Can't wait to watch it with you.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed watching the Infinity Saga with me!! I'm looking forward to phase 4 too! ♥️🐑🎉
Some people don't like anything. Just watch them and make up your own mind 😁
The perfect antidote for Endgame (which I also loved), bringing back the sense of joy…and then ending with that giant sting in the tail.
Since this was the third iteration of Spider-Man films, they played really fast and loose with the supporting cast, not only with the casting (in the comics, MJ isn't black, Liz isn't Indian, Ned isn't Filipino, and Flash isn't Persian), but placing everyone in high school, whereas originally (as seen in the Tobey Maguire films), Betty was Jameson's secretary and Ned was a reporter.
And in the comics, Betty and Ned were married for about 25 years' worth of issues, so it's adorable to see the "summer fling" between such very different versions of the characters.
(I love how they break up because they're "different people"…in a scene where they are wearing matching shirts and finishing each other's sentences. Lol, totally different, indeed.)
Those fuzzy hat guards are not ceremonial. They are the King's Guards (Queen's Guards at the time of the movie) and as such are armed and tasked with guarding the monarchy. A subset of this unit guards the Tower of London - the Yeomen of the Guard, also known as the Beefeaters. If you're familiar with the gin, you know that they aren't dressed like the fuzzy hat guards, but I think the movie had them in the fuzzy hats so American audiences wouldn't be confused.
3:55 To answer your question anyone that blipped whilst on a plane blipped back on the ground as hulk snapped for everyone to be returned 'Safe'.
My favorite scene is in the Stark Plane when Peter puts his hand into the holographic glove, just as Tony did, and then Back in Black plays just like the first movie.
Yes! That was an awesome scene!
I don't know if you notice but everytime there's an illusion the drones are still there doing all the damage. So closing your eyes is still a bad thing because the drones can still attack you. But Peter has spider sense so that's how he was able to see things coming even when his eyes are closed.
Ned and MJ was blipped. Why would they be in Peter's class if they haven't. They should be in college now if they didn't get blipped.
Yes, i was about to say that, I don't know why most people don't realize that
Nice catching Quentin Beck spying on Peter in Venice. Very nice. I've seen this film multiple times and I never caught that. Your attention to detail is amazing Jax.
This film had so many fun details! MCU movies never disappoint! ♥️
I loved MJ’s reaction after Peter confirms that he’s Spider Man. “Really? ‘Cause I was only like 67% sure.”
As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I was very familiar with Mysterio going in, from the comics to the games to the cartoons. The master of illusion. Yet, before the big reveal, I was convinced they were doing something different with him. I thought "oh this is new, but maybe he gets his villain arc in this movie?" Nope, just fell for the illusion. It helps that Earth 616 and 833 are real concepts in the comics, 616 being the _main_ Marvel universe where most characters were created and operate in. With Spider-verse fresh in people's minds and Marvel teasing the idea of a multiverse, it was easy to believe.
The Mysterio scene at the warehouse was perhaps the best scene in the MCU for me at the time, even more trippy than the Dr. Strange one. I'd waited for years to see a live action interpretation of Mysterio's illusions, and they absolutely delivered.
Also, while simply not looking isn't enough to completely do away with Mysterio's illusions, the hero Daredevil (who is blind) is known to not fall for them because he too has a sixth sense, and no vision to be confused by.
The next movie in the trilogy is my favorite, it's definitely a mind-blower.
they even adapted his story perfectly, in comics he wanted recognition for his special effects but didn't got much so he turned evil, same happened here where he didn't got recognition for his illusion tech
I love how the twist worked so well for even those of us who read the comics, simply because over the decade we had all become comfortable with the MCU not needing to be comic accurate in a What If sort of way. It was absolutely plausible for for him to have been a good guy. I don't think I've ever been so pleased to be fooled!
@@WDanielFichtel Oh that's a great point. Plus with Sony planning to make all of Spider-Man's villains heroes at the time, combined with not even a hint of Mysterio villainy in the trailers (mostly focusing on Iron Man guilt and working with Nick Fury) we all thought comic inaccuracy was assured.
@@WDanielFichtel that's actually true for all universes, different universe in comics exist for that reason, especially Ultimate Universe
19:21 a light slap from peter knocking out flash tells you how strong Spider-Man is and how much he holds back 😂
Holy moly, I had NO idea Mysterio was in the background during their trip. That is a wild catch, I've seen this movie like 4 times.
u can see Mysterio's crew members too in the background there
38:33 This is called a drogue chute. it is designed to help stabilize, or slow down moving objects. Skydivers, drag, racers, the space shuttle, etc.
"Those fuzzy hat guards have guns?!" Oh yes, they are infinitely more dangerous and ready for trouble than the average tourist would ever dream.
Oh yeah. FYI The Coldstream guards are not just for show. They have weapons and are an elite unit of guards chosen to protect certain royal palaces and public spaces in London. The big fuzzy hats are made with bear skins and are a distinctive unit badge.
In spider-man lore, Mysterio does not possess any superhuman abilities, he is a former special effects artist, illusionist and actor who uses his talents to commit crimes
48:05 Because once that original resident of the house got blipped the people who didnt get blipped could just move in there for 5 years until the original resident gets blipped back and sees her house doesnt belong to anymore because someone took it while she was gone for 5 years.
Remember for the people who was blipped away they lost 5 years of their lives(but from their point of view it felt like an instant from when they were blipped out and blipped back) while the people who didnt get blipped got to spend those 5 years with half of the population gone and ALOT of extra empty spaces to fill.
yep
if I had a nickel for everytime Spider-Man couldn't utilize his powers (or some part of his powers) for some time bcz of stress or trauma in a sequel to their respective first movies, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
Ohooo, i see what you did there. :)
The Khan would be proud
One of the best ending credit scenes because it’s hinting at bigger things to come for the MCU.
I like to think the people who vanished from a plane, etc. Reappeared at their destination, people who disappeared from a car, reappeared on the nearest available sidewalk. You know, best available safe place to reappear. Imagine if someone disappeared from the park where the memorials were raised, and they reappeared partially in the memorial structure... eww.
May *did* have to live without Peter. Remember, he was snapped. He was brought back 5 years later.
27:40-27:49 "if Tony's crew is all behind him."
Those were not "Tony's Crew" those were a large number of people Tony directly or indirectly embarrassed, ridiculed or ruined in their eyes. This was Beck's approach to trick Tony's successor into handing him the keys to Stark's tools and technology.
May was snapped too.
@@johnniequinn3215 was that ever confirmed on screen? If so, I don't remember it. Whether shown or mentioned. [I will readily admit, I do *not* have a perfect memory.]
Edited for typo
@@Scott_Burton She mentioned it at the benefit event for people displaced after recovering from the blip: as they called it.
I have been a fan of Spider-Man since 1986. Since 1995, I have been a fan of Mysterio. Through various parallels, Spider-Man: Far From Home resembles Mysterio's initial introduction in Marvel Comics. Spider-Man: Far From Home perfectly translates to Mysterio's debut in Marvel Comics. The movie flawlessly captures the character's core essence and motivations and skillfully modernizes the narrative for today's audience. Mysterio's debut: In both the comic books and the movie, Mysterio is presented as an enigmatic character who asserts to possess extraordinary abilities. Although he seems to be a heroic figure, there is an air of doubt surrounding him. Mysterio presents Spider-Man with a formidable challenge - a public duel in both the comics and the film. Mysterio firmly believes that Spider-Man is a deceitful imposter; his ultimate goal is to unveil this truth to the entire world. Mysterio's utilization of illusions: Mysterio possesses exceptional skills in creating illusions, employing them to deceive and manipulate Spider-Man. Mysterio crafts intricate illusions in the comics or the film that instigate doubt within Spider-Man's perception of reality. Mysterio's genuine intentions: Despite his seemingly heroic facade, Mysterio is indeed a malevolent character. His ulterior motives are driven by self-interest, and he is unhesitant to employ deceit and manipulation to accomplish his objectives. This revelation is evident in both the comic books and the cinematic adaptation.
The best Spider man movie for me because this is the 1st movie that acknowledges spidersense (one of his main pawers!) properly and doesn't just hint at it in one scene then forget about it
Peter Tingles:
From the comics, Peter had a lot of crush/love interests, most of which didn't work out, obviously:
In high school there was Liz Allen, the burly beefy Flash Thompson's sweetheart. Then was Betty Brant, JJJ;s secretary (more of a crush thing or work-wife), and of course, tragically Gwen Stacy.
He finally married Mary Jane Watson.
I love that even if underexplored, all the canon ladies of the ;60s found their way(s) into the MCU.
Yes, those are Beefeaters. And they always carry guns when they are on duty. Their rifles are not loaded around the public, but they carry the magazines on them just in case.
Out of all the minor characters in the MCU movies I think the two teachers are my favorite
Yeah, imagine the worlds shock in theaters when Beck revealed Peters identify. The next one is gonna be such a banger! 👏🏽
Fun fact: The explanation Flash read online about the water monster is actually the comic book origins of the Spider-Man villain "Hydro-Man"
Just so you know before this movie was released in theaters Marvel re-released Endgame in selected theaters to beat Avatar's box office totals and the beginning scene with Nick Fury was a post credit scene added to Endgame.
My favorite part of this film was Happy's heart to heart with Peter. Both of them were still mourning the loss of their friend, but Happy also helped Peter come to terms that he doesn't have to become the next Iron Man. Rather, he should just continue being the best Spider-Man around.
Happy also confirmed to Peter that reviving him was the main reason Tony contributed to the time heist to begin with. Happy truly is the unsung hero of this film.
I agree. Happy was such a fantastic character in this film. It was nice to see his relationship develop into more of a friendship with Peter. ❤️
Yes - the fuzzy hat guards do carry real guns. What is less clear is whether they are never loaded, always loaded or only loaded at time of threat. Not surprisingly there is no offical answer.
Things to think about going forward in future Marvel movie and series there are no avengers they were disbanded after endgame. And if you're wondering what happened to all the people who flipped back that were in planes or elevator Bruce put them all on the ground that's why it took so long for him to snap his fingers. You should also know no one that gives Natasha her credit for her sacrifice call Bruce credit for bringing everyone back.
In the comic books, it is actually Betty Brant who is Peter's first gf
Someone confirmed that Hulk considered everyone who was in a plane or ship when they blipped beforehand, and were all relocated to a safe location when brought back.
The balding guy with glasses from the first Iron Man movie who was helping Beck is also the actor who played Ralphie in A Christmas Story.
That's awesome!
You did it again, I just woke up and I did not expect to spend the first hour of my day watching a reaction but this was so awesome. Reliving these through you has been a lot of fun Jacqueline!
Yay! It makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed this! ❤️🎉🐑
I was surprised at first when he seemed friendly since I knew he was a villain from the old cartoons.
The guy that Jeff Bridges yells at about "building it in a cave" is also "Ralphie" from A CHRISTMAS STORY (Peter Billingsley)
I SO needed your video and energy today, thanks for all your amazing uploads and just your general vibe and warmth.
Hey Jax, great reaction. Thanks for pointing out Beck in the background observing Peter. Never noticed that (with multiple viewings) and it helps explain his Machiavellian machinations...
Jake just chilling in the background throughout the first half of the movie is great
The guy that played William that was also in Iron Man and was a producer as well also played Ralph in “A Christmas Story”
Your reactions are so enjoyable! The commentary and editing is great! Thank you (and lambmie) for all the fun and laughter. 😃
Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that! ❤️🎉🐑
You are going to love the next Spider-Man movie!! I love Friday mornings when I get up and watch a movie with you .There are still more that you are going to love.I really have to get myself a Captain America t-shirt!!
They did Mysterio justice the best they could, most people don't see through the illusions until it's too late. You did good trying to figure out multiverse
Like others here, I'm really appreciating how well you're paying attention and making connections. I watched this movie in the theater, as well as numerous reactions to it, and I never noticed that shot of Beck casing Peter before the attack in Venice! Good eye!
I'm also impressed that you managed to keep asking the right questions, and remain suspicious of Mysterio for so long. In all promotional materials for this film, Beck was presented as possibly being a hero. Comics fans like myself didn't buy it entirely -- we all knew that Mysterio was a long-time nemesis of Spidey's -- but we also knew how the MCU likes to do things differently. For myself, I wasn't sure how it would turn out until Mysterio dropped the illusions and showed his true colours.
It wasn't all of Tony's former workers who threw in with Beck and turned against Peter -- just the most disgruntled ones. Happy sure didn't join them, and I'm sure many others didn't, either. Although seeing that many former Stark employees ganging up on a kid and his classmates was awfully disheartening.
Your wholehearted smiles at the romantic moments were so endearing. And I loved your laugh when Peter mis-identified the AC/DC song. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE THIS, CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS💖💖💖💖
THANK YOU!!! ❤️🥳🐑🎉
@@reactswithjax ♥︎
Such a wonderful video as always Jax! Happy December! 💗 I really love this film, it acts as a second goodbye to Tony and other characters :) (There is a third Spiderman movie, and I am sure like everyone watching - if you haven't watched Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's set of Spiderman films it would be beneficial before watching Tom Holland's next instalment!) 💞 If you are planning on watching the Disney+ shows - they definitely feed into future films! xx
47:45 Yes, both MJ and Ned Blipped during the snap. It was never established, but they are clearly the same age as they were (relatively) before the snap.
Spider Man has always been a hero and it breaks my heart to see his identity been revealed 😮😮
That was so sad! Poor Peter!
Rewatching this movie with you, felt almost like the same way as it did when i watched it in cinema. Keep up the good work, and thank you!!!
The clinking metal sound at the end is the sound of iron man making the first suit from the first movie of the mcu
Spider-Man fan for the last 40 years and for me the next Movie is my #1 Live action it's got just so much ... well you'll see.
Thank You! The airplane question was literally the first thing that came to mind for me when people came back in the same spot.
The completed Infinity Saga Jax!
Again, I so proud of you and your ability to absorb what you’re watching. As well, I love how you always ask such great questions, (in spite of how much I don’t love when people ask constant questions during a movie).
I’ll see you in phase 4, Gorgeous.
In the comics, in addition to being a special effects artist (hence all the cool gizmos), Beck is a stuntman. He'd most likely be able to hold his own in a fight.
3:56 yeah or the people who were on a subway car which isn’t there anymore but one is on its way, or on a boat where there is now no more boat etc…they team didn’t think this through before they just snapped people back
At the end of the movie when Peter meets MJ there is a banner of like a path with numbers 1,2,3 and "?" and there is a caption "We are so excited to show you what comes next!". That is great easter egg and foreshadowing for the Phase 4. I remember catching it in theaters I was so proud of myself
The problem of being a comic book fanatic is I already knew Mysterio was a villain . He was one of the Sinister Six, which inluded for instance Dr Octopus, the Vulture and Green Goblin.
I knew from the video games
Fun fact: when Jake Gyllenhaal says "somebody get this stupid costume off me" in the bar scene at 26:19, that was his real reaction because he thought the scene was over and the cameras stopped rolling lol
I thought it was a reference to how actors react after any scene bcz the costumes are mostly uncomfortable for them 90% of the time, the weather while shooting isnt of much help either (also bcz Mysterio is wearing a mo-cap which actors wear too so it seemed like a perfect reference to that)
Lol, I love that Jax compared Peter and his friends to the Scooby Doo gang. That future joke is going to land really well lol
Jax, this will blow your mind. So the actor playing the nerdy scientist w/glasses in league w/Mysterio? It's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" all grown up.
The King's Guard (or Queen's Guard) are soldiers just like any other and they are actually there to guard, not as photo ops...
the scientist with the glasses from the first Ironman is Ralphy from "A Christmas story"
"Those fuzzy hat guards have guns!?" Yep, it varies depending on the division, but many (perhaps most) of them are among the best trained guards and marksmen. Their ability to stand still for long periods is seen as a novelty, but they can snap to combat mode in an instant when they need to.
"This is an unexpected villain."
-You have no idea
15:10 You have no idea how much this bit made me laugh 😂
Questions around land and property issues arising from the snap/blip are part of the storyline of The Falcon and Winter Soldier mini series.
Good to know! I'm looking forward to seeing that show. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this. Angourie Rice(Betty) and Jacob Batalon(Ned) are together again in "Every Day," based on the novel of that title.
Great reaction Jax, what can I say that hasn't already been said about the Mysterio twist? All us long time comic book fans knew the twist from the start but I sure do enjoy watching people who aren't familiar with the character react. My friend's minds were blown when they saw this movie. Anyways great reaction as always! Keep up the good work! ❤
Fun reaction! I really enjoyed how this movie kept me guessing all the way through! Great clues and world-building, too.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! ♥️🥳🐑
I live for the Lamby dad jokes.😂
PLEASE get to Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse (literally the Oscar winner for best animated picture) and Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. Both films are groundbreaking, and arguably the best Spider-Man films period.
Fun fact: The blonde girl on the school news is Betty Brant, who is the Daily Bugle receptionist and one of Peter's exes in the comics.
That's awesome! I love her character in this movie ♥️
The end of The Infinity Saga, hell of a ride, and I've really enjoyed your reactions. But luckily a new saga starts in Phase 4 and we got the TV shows to start adding to the bunch.

Woah never noticed beck in the background watching Peter
Interesting to note, that Jax is also distracted by Baby Mountain Goats and The Crown Jewels! :)
You didn't include the line in this cut but one of the first hints that Nick Fury is not Nick Fury comes WAY early in the movie, when Peter asks why other super heroes can't fight the elementals...he suggests Captain Marvel and "Fury" says "Don't invoke her name." Remember to the Skrulls, especially Talos, Carol is a savior of their race.
So I don't know what your plan is for coverage or if you do somethings Patreon only, and I don't know if any of your other viewers have mentioned this... but during Phase 3, between Age of Ultron and Infinity War, there were 5 MCU shows and a miniseries that were not part of the "phase," they were essentially a side story to the Infinity Saga... Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher and the miniseries The Defenders, incorporating all the characters. I don't know what if your plan for viewing is, but you should PROBABLY watch at least the first couple of episodes of Daredevil before you get too deep into Phase 4 ... specifically before the 3rd Spider-Film. Even if you don't watch for your channel but just on your own, might be a good idea ;)
The films that had an impact on Spider-Man: Far From Home are National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985), Gotcha! (1985), and Eurotrip (2004).
I think an easy way to define the multiverse is a series of universes that do not share the same physical space. Like, you cannot get in a rocket ship and just fly from one universe to another. You have to use something like magic or advanced technology or maybe run super fast - whatever the case, in order to break the dimensional threshold separating the universes from each other. There are an infinite number of them and each one has different physics or different events with a random outcome occur differently than how they went in our own universe, etc. For example, one universe could be entirely 2D or another universe could have Iron Man as a villain or Cap could've been lefty, etc.
Nick Fury was never on earth during this movie. He was in space working with some other Skrulls
The main thing you have to remember about Marvel is they lead you in one direction then flip you upside down, spin you in a circle, flip you over again and send you off in a totally different direction.
Another thoroughly entertaining reaction video, Jax. I especially enjoyed watching you trying to work out how the multiple Earths worked, knowing it was all a lie concocted by Mysterio. :D On a more serious note, 2023 has been particularly unkind to me and revisiting these movies, watching them through your eyes, has been one of the few bright spots. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your wit, and your optimism. You have no idea how these MCU Fridays have kept me going. Bless you (and Lambie, of course) and keep up the good work.
Okay. It wasn’t explained well, but, as I understand it, Bruce made sure everyone was brought back safely. If they were in the air, they ended up on the ground somewhere safe.
15:39 It very much depends on the universe.
Alternate Timelines:
There's universes that diverge from the mainline comics (Earth-616) where everything up to the time of divergence is the same, acting as an alternate timeline. A great example is Mutant X (Earth-1298) version of Spider-Man. In the mainline comics Spider-Man grows four extra arms but in the end he's able to cure himself depicted in Amazing Spider-Man #102. But Mutant X Peter diverges from this path and instead embraces the extra arms even renaming himself to Man-Spider. This action creates a new universe.
Another example is the What if...? comics where events from the mainline comics played out differently. Like what If Captain America became President instead of refusing the offer. What If Wolverine killed the Hulk in his first appearance. What If Uncle Ben lived etc. These can be seen as alternate timelines that diverges from the events we know from the comics.
Possible Futures:
Then there's universes like Spider-Man 2099 (Earth-928) where it's seen as a possible future of Earth-616. Massive all out war between Mutants and Humanity with massive loses on both sides. Story jumps to the year 2099 where we have Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara. The divergence being this massive Mutant VS Human conflict that created a new future, everything before this was the same as the mainline comics.
Days of Future Past (Earth-811) is similar depicting a possible future where the Mutant hunting Sentinels rule North America and have wiped out not only Mutants but Superhero's as well becoming this Terminator like future where humans and Mutants are put in concentration camps. Marvel likes to place futures in alternate timelines as this means that Marvel don't have one set future for it's main universe.
Separate Universes:
Then we have universes like Earth-1610 also known as the Ultimate Universe. This was a re-imagined and modernized new continuity starting in the year 2000 with Ultimate Spider-Man. Spider-Man's origin was similar but just set during the 2000s. Some characters like Iron Man had whole new origins like how this Tony Stark had a brain tumor instead of damage to his chest.
The Avengers were called The Ultimates and were more of a government controlled force. Characters origins were connected closely to the Super Soldier Serum such as the Spider that bite Peter Parker to the creation of the Hulk being born from Banner testing a Super Soldier Serum on him. Everyone wanted to try and re-create the Super Soldier Serum, something the MCU used for the origin of it's Hulk. And character designs were reworked and changed from visual appearance to there outfits.
The Ultimate Universe being a whole new continuity means it has zero narrative ties to the events of the Mainline Universe so there's no divergence point, it's not an alternate timeline but a whole differant universe from the beginning. This is the same with the MCU as well in relation to the comics.
Earth-833:
In this film Mysterio mentions that's he's from Earth-833 (Coincidence) a universe home to William "Billy" Braddock, Spider-UK. We never visit this reality in the comics so we can't say how similar it is to Earth-616.
“Infamous Line” Guy, when he was a child, played “Ralphie” in A Christmas Story.

Welcome to Project blue Beam. Yes, the projection tech is actually real and used currently.
You can see small uses of it in Dubai during their festivals as well as certain 3D advertising boards around LA.
The question of the people blipped out of and back onto an airplane that wasn't there anymore. It was stated in background material that everyone was blipped back to a nearby safe place. So no blipping in thousands of feet in the air. There are still bad repurcusions from the blip back though. Like May mentioned that she was blipped back to an apartment that someone else had moved into. There would be lots of that. The people that died when others blipped out like from a pilotless helicopter and car crashes are still dead. Some people remarried only to have their old spouses blip back.
What a chaotic experience! That's sad that the people who died as a result of people being blipped stayed dead. But, I like that when the Hulk snapped, he brought them all back as safely as possible!
Dmitri Smerdyakov is actually one of the first Spider-Man comic villains, who called himself The Chameleon (Spider-Man's nemeses invariably had animalistic names; Lizard, Rhino, Vulture, etc)
Thanks for upload Jax,appreciated 👍. Great reaction as always & thanks for being so positive.
Ps nice t-shirt.
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
