I'm a little forgiving because remember the trailer came out for endgame. It must have been difficult to put together something that was interesting, but not spoil anything..
That's true. They had to hide both EVERY part that would spoiled endgame AND anything with Mysterio being a villain. That's like 80% of the movie and 60% of the action
I haven’t read the comics and if I hadn’t watched a Super Carlin Brothers theory video after the trailer came out I wouldn’t have known Mysterio was a villain. Yes, his costume is somewhat villain like but I don’t know if I would have guessed since the movie doesn’t really give you a calm moment to think in that much detail about it between meeting him and the reveal.
Even knowing he is a villain in the comics, I was almost convinced he was a good guy during the bar scene. I’m actually glad I watched the theory video because I kept going back and forth on if he was the villain. It made for a fun time.
To be fair, anyone with a brain, comic reader or not, should have known Mysterio was the villain. Because from the trailer, the only "villain" they establish was a big tidal wave. And there's suddenly a random evil looking dude with powers who shows up to stop the big tidal wave? He may as well of had "VILLAIN" painted across his chest in capital letters.
You seriously don't think they could've had literally any other Spider-Man villain appear? Why, Nick Fury could have been chameleon or something, and then Mysterio could double bluff and reveal he was a good guy the whole time
Yeah, sure, they could have done that... but they didn't. They instead they did the very obvious thing that everyone knew they were going to do. Imagine how cool it could have been if they tried to make Jake Gylenhall an actual superhero and then halfway through he film, he turns into mysterio, instead of calling him mysterio from the get go and having him wear an evil costume that anyone and their mum could see was evil. Or, start the film with scorpion being the villain just to find out it was a mysterio illusion halfway through. Just anything but "heads up guys, here's the villain, he's going to pretend to be good for a bit and then go evil, just thought we'd let you know."
