** When Spider-Man asks Mysterio about his Earth Fury answers "he's from Earth, but not yours". He uses "yours" instead of "ours" because he's actually Talos, who isn't from Earth.

* Nick Fury is revealed to be in space working with the Skrulls at the end of the movie. As the many of the threats to earth have now been cosmic, it makes sense for the hyper-prepared man who's always one step ahead to start working on a cosmic scale himself.

* MJ's conspiracy theories make a lot more sense when you realize that this is a world where [[Film/DoctorStrange magic]], [[Film/{{Thor}} gods and myths]], [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy aliens]], and superheroes are known to be real. With that in mind, things like the Eiffel Tower being a mind-control device actually aren't that far-fetched.

** Additionally, while it will probably take an entire movie's worth of plot to clear up, once the footage is eventually revealed to be doctored, JJJ is gonna be on the hook for libel, fraud, and probably one or two other major felonies, given it's public record he hates Spider Man and almost certainly didn't fact-check the footage sent to him. His career will be completely annihilated, as almost no press group in the world would want to touch a man who framed an Avenger.

* How come Dmitri and the blonde agent who work for Fury seem to be unaware what a touring bus should look like or not see the problem with Peter undressing in front of a female adult stranger or shooting Brad Davis to silence him? Because like Fury and Maria Hill, they are Skrulls who are unaccustomed with human culture, and especially the concept of undressing being embarrassing should be unfamiliar to them given they can shapeshift their entire appearance as easily as humans blink.

* In a meta case, a goof by the marketing team led to a poster with Fury's eyepatch being on the wrong eye, which is how Peter in the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 90s cartoon]] recognized another villain imitating Fury, this time The Chameleon.

*** Maybe. But consider the setting the people of this world are in. The supernatural existing is not a secret. A teenaged boy being Spiderman doesn't sound hard to believe. [[RealityEnsues Even if most people wouldn't believe the news, the amount of focused paranoia and attention the public gives to Peter Parker will be enough to essentially ruin his life, even if he is proven not guilty]].

** A third would be the purported nature of the elementals, which are based on the [[ElementalPowers classical elements]] that have more roots in mysticism and pseudoscience and one that is notably [[AvertedTrope not used]] by the [[MagicAIsMagicA actual]] [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic magic]] [[{{Magitek}} users]] in the MCU. Fury would have caught this, being well-versed in how the magic powers of the Avengers work (and most probably knows about the Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj), but of course the Fury-Skrull, Talos, didn't pick up on that.

** He may also find Carol Danvers' superhero handle a bit dubious in itself, given that Dr. Mar-''vell'' had been the Skrulls' greatest protector before Carol took their side.
** Also, Talos saw Carol spend decades helping not only them, but countless people in space. She was the only one of the team to help other planets. Despite the dire situation, they have to have superheroes able to handle it (plus the Skrulls themselves are superhuman warriors), he might see requiring her assistance while she's helping less fortunate planets offensive.

* Take another look at the scene when Mysterio puts on the EDITH shades. Between his beard, lighting, shadows, and the particular way his hair is styled (which gets slicked back almost immediately after this), Jake Gyllenhaal cuts a reasonable impression of Robert Downey, Jr. Sure, it's probably intentional on the part of the makeup team-but would that be Marvel Studios' or Quentin Beck's?

* It may sound like Fury was just being sarcastic when he said Happy was not ''winking'' until you realise that it was actually Talos. [[Film/CaptainMarvel2019 He's probably taken to that idea that Earth's coded message comes with a wink.]]

* Having Creator/JKSimmons reprise the role as J. Jonah Jameson from the original ''Spider-Man'' trilogy is incredibly fitting for the scene where Beck exposes and frames Peter. [[Film/SpiderMan1 He didn't want to be famous, so Beck and Jameson made him infamous]].

** In the [=BARF=] flashback, Beck believes that he was being mocked for his life's work by a live audience. The original scene in ''Captain America: Civil War'' had ''zero'' laughter. [[SelfServingMemory Beck also conveniently ignored the fact that directly afterwards, Tony admitted he needed to come up with a better name for it, meaning the unfortunate acronym was accidental]].

*** Technically, Pepper was the CEO of Stark Industries, not Tony. And she knows from firsthand experience in ''Film/IronMan3'' how well the last time someone used cover-ups to make themselves look good went and saw a lot of Aldrich Killian's negative traits in Beck. [[Film/IronMan1 And she is quite good at throwing out the trash]].

** In addition, while we tend to briefly see Uncle Ben in a lot of Spider-Man stories and media before he's unceremoniously offed to begin his Origin, we rarely have time to truly connect with him and realize just how special he is to Peter. Here, while Ben obviously existed (and again, perished), it seems that Tony Stark has ''become'' the "Uncle Ben" Spider-Man is constantly haunted by who he was unable to save, which has a much greater impact on the audience, who like Peter, miss Iron Man tremendously. I thought that was a brilliant stroke of genius myself, when I first realized it.

*** Unused concept art revealed this scene also included Vision and Black Widow, RuleofSymbolism symbolizing how Peter believes he's an InadequateInheritor to the Avengers' legacy.

* It may seem like a LoveTriangle at first glance, but Brad Davis being the only person to question Peter's intentions towards MJ makes a lot of sense when you consider the reason Peter's class is so small in the first place — The Snap. Most of Peter's circle of friends (MJ, Ned, and Betty) and acquaintances (Flash) were dusted, so Brad aged into their grade level in the five years they were gone... which means he ''isn't aware'' of Peter's flaky nature as demonstrated in Film/SpiderManHomecoming. Ned is Peter's SecretKeeper, MJ spent the last movie stalki—''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial observing]]'' him, and Betty and Flash were either part of the Decathlon team or close to someone who was, so everyone '''but''' Brad takes Peter's disappearances as just something he does.

** This also explains why Flash called Peter "Penis Parker" in the previous movie. Ned mentioned a rumor that Peter kept disappearing because he was a male prostitute, and Flash is established to be an attention whore. He must've wondered how a scrawny freak could get laid so often, so this is his way of getting back at Peter.

** Mysterio's entire plan worked because of the fact that Fury isn't actually Fury, but Talos in disguise. If it were Fury, "the most paranoid man on the planet", he would have facial recognition software running Beck through every database under the sun, and would have found him as a former Stark employee. Talos, being only an imitator and a shapeshifter was caught by someone using his own trade against him.

* Mr. Harrison's overprotective behavior towards his students and near-constant paranoia throughout the entire class trip was played off during most of the movie as comic relief. If you think about it from his perspective though - particularly if you assume that he was one of the people who lived through the Decimation - he is ''understandably'' afraid that whenever he can't find one of the students under his care they might have been kidnapped, killed, or dusted without warning, just like five years ago. Earth of the MCU is now a much, much scarier world to live in for normal folks.

** Mr. Harrison mentioned in Homecoming that he's already lost a kid on a school trip, so he's probably pretty worried about that happening again.

* Tony firing Beck for being "unstable" seems like Tony's typical tendency to CreateYourOwnVillain like all his other previous villains. However, when you rewatch all the scenes with Beck, you instead begin to wonder how he manage to stay employed in Stark Industries at all. To list:
** In the [=BARF=] flashback, Beck believes that he was being mocked for his life's work by a live audience. The original scene in ''Captain America: Civil War'' had ''zero'' laughter. [[SelfServingMemory Beck also conveniently ignored that directly afterwards, Tony said that he needed to come up with a better name for it, meaning that the unfortunate acronym was accidental.]]

** Tony likely knew the dangerous potential of [=BARF=] if it was applied outside of being a designated therapeutic experiment judging from his own past experiences with technology. Beck insisted on doing more with his invention while being blind to the danger and paranoia his invention will cause as demonstrated in this film while under the delusion that his work was being mocked. No wonder Tony fired him for being "unstable."
* And technically Pepper Stark was the CEO of Stark Industries, not Tony. And she knows from firsthand experience in Film/IronMan3 how the last time someone used cover-ups to make themselves look good and saw a lot of Killian's negative traits in Beck. And she is quite good at throwing out the trash.

* One regarding Snap/Blip implications. Assuming they were all in the same class, Peter, Ned, Betty, Flash and MJ are all still sixteen years old. Brad? TWENTY-ONE. He may still be in high school, but he still had five years of development that they did not. This means we spend a good chunk of the movie watching a grown man trying to romantically engage a minor. (This also adds a creepy implication to that photo he took of Peter and the SHIELD agent. MJ kind of nailed it when she called him out.)
