History Awesome / SpiderManFarFromHome

* Two Coldstream Guards at the Tower of London opening fire on Beck's drones with ordinary assault rifles, managing to destroy one and heavily damage another, allowing Happy and the kids to have a considerably easier time evading the remaining drones.

*** Also, he does it while "[[Music/{{ACDC}} Back In Black]]" blasts in the background - one of Tony's favorite songs. One of the themes of the film is the legacy of Iron Man and who's going to replace him: this is the scene that proves Peter Parker is, indeed, Tony Stark's spiritual heir.

* The sheer fact that this movie is the one where Spider-Man officially TookALevelInBadass, transitioning from "boy" to "man", and setting the stage for him to become the next Iron Man and/or Captain America of the MCU. In ''Civil War'', he had only been at the superhero gig for 6 months at the time, and while he was able to gain edge over heroes like Falcon, the Winter Soldier, and even Captain America himself (to an extent), his inability to stay focused is what ultimately proved to be his downfall. In ''Homecoming'', he was marred by inexperience every step, including the final battle against Vulture where he only "won" by accident. Whereas we got to see Spidey show more experience in ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'', he couldn't demonstrate just how far he's come to avoid stealing the spotlight from others. Here, we ''finally'' get to see just what Spidey's made of. He goes through an entire ''army'' of aerial drones armed with machine guns [[OneManArmy by himself]], [[DontThinkFeel masters his Spider-Sense to a degree that he now fully controls it]], [[NoSell completely negates Mysterio's illusions]], and shows everyone why it's important to [[VillainForgotToLevelGrind level-grind]] before the final battle. The best part is that the [[InfinityPlusOneSword greatest suit]] he has wasn't ''given'' to him by anyone -- he ''made it by himself''.

*** At one point he actually manages to weaponise his [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway super stickiness]] by clinging with his feet to a car, pulling himself [[SuperStrength and said car]] up with webbing and dropping it on multiple drones chasing after him. You're not gonna see Creator/TobeyMaguire or Creator/AndrewGarfield do something that cool.

** And the icing on the cake? The reporter who delivers the footage and decries Spider-Man as a murderer is none other than J. Jonah Jameson of the ''Daily Bugle'' (here a website rather than an old-fashioned newspaper), with Creator/JKSimmons reprising his role from Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''! In ''[[SmallRoleBigImpact one scene]]'', he does more damage to Spider-Man's life than his counterpart from those movies ever did.

** Even better? The whole time, Fury and Hill are actually our old friends [[Film/CaptainMarvel2019 Talos and Soren]] in disguise.

With exciting new locales to visit, enemies to fight and suits for Spider-Man to wear, is it any surprise that ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' continues the amazing streak already set up by [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming the previous installment]]?

** Peter designing his new suit. Yes, he had access to Tony Stark's tech and notes on Peter himself to do it, but Peter walked up to one of Tony's own super-suit-making machines and got it to give him exactly what he wanted, no more and no less. The only other person who could have done that is probably... well, Tony Stark. Notably, Peter ''knows'' exactly what he wants this suit to be capable of for the fight he's going into, drawing on Peter's tendency in the comics to think up a clever, scientific way to gain an edge over whatever villain he's currently facing.

* PlayedForLaughs but when Peter is getting a call from an unknown number, Happy reveals it to be Nick Fury who wants him for a mission. Peter's response is to send it to voicemail. Repeat: ''Peter Parker'' ghosted '''Nick Fury'''. There isn't a single version of him, comic book or otherwise, who had the stones to do that until now. Fury responds accordingly; he '''does not''' take no for an answer.

* Spider-Man using his Spidey Sense (or Peter-Tingle) to destroy Beck’s last drones while they have him in an illusion.

** Peter no-selling Beck's final illusion when he tries to sneak up behind him with a gun.

* When the first trailer was released, it accumulated over 130 million views. Not only did that make it one of the top ten most-viewed trailers of all time, but also made it Sony's most viewed trailer of all time!
* The music for the first trailer was scored by Benjamin Squires, a Website/YouTube artist who is well-known for his orchestral version of the classic Spider-Man theme.
* The fact that Creator/MarvelStudios was able to get '''''Creator/JKSimmons to reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the original Film/SpiderManTrilogy''''' is, itself, absolutely '''glorious''', eliciting a major uproar of praise from Spidey fans all over the world. This is also the first time someone that had portrayed a character in previous Marvel media reprised that role in live-action in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse proper.[[note]]Lou Ferrigno, who played Hulk in the 1977 TV series, has been routinely brought back by Marvel to provide the voice for the Hulk in the films.[[/note]]
* Turning Mysterio into a threat on the same level as the rest of the MCU's rogues gallery was a big one for the filmmakers. Mysterio is a well-known Spider-Man villain, but the way they brought him up to the level of HYDRA, Baron Zemo, and Killmonger in terms of their methods and goals was well-executed for a character no one thought would be credible in the setting.
** Rather than "edit down" Mysterio's capabilities from the comics to be realistic, they looked at what Mysterio can do in the comics, then asked what he'd need to be able to pull them off in reality (or, at least, the MCU version of "reality"). Thus Beck has an entire team working on his special effects setpieces, backed up by Stark technology, allowing him to effectively be the all-out RealityWarper Mysterio of the comics could be when he's at his best.
* The actual Nick Fury being in space and working with the Skrulls has huge implications for his role going forward.
* The film set the new record for the biggest Tuesday release in movie history, and just like ''Film/CaptainMarvel'' was already more than halfway to a billion dollars by the end of its first weekend.
* As of July 21st, 2019, ''Far From Home'' has become the highest grossing ''Spider-Man'' film of all time, being the first film based on the character to gross a billion dollars!

* We get a number of scenes illustrating just how incredibly durable Spider-Man is, even getting hit by a speeding train leaves him conscious long enough to get out of danger and he's back on his feet (though still quite banged up) only a matter of hours later.

* Maria Hill blasting the drone targeting Fury with a goddamn RPG.
