The first official trailer for Spider-Man: Far from Home dropped earlier this morning, and it was full of Easter Eggs and nods to the comics. As is the case any time Marvel does, er, anything, fans had a lot to say about it on the internet. Twitter really brought its A-game today, whether through hilarious jokes or thoughtful observations.
(Warning: There’s some colorful language ahead)
Aunt May Needs Her Own Storyline
Aunt May’s MCU glow-up has low-key been one of the best things to come out of the MCU in recent years. Fans are here for her and her sassy attitude and support.
Yo, can we talk about how refreshing it is that Aunt May is a middle-aged women who owns her hotness and is totally unruffled by men flirting with her? We've seen it in three movies now with Tony Stark, the dude at the Thai place, and now Happy Hogan. She's so freaking cool.

(Yes, I totally used my own tweet. And yes, I misspelled “woman.” Whatev.)

When it was first revealed that Aunt May would be played by Marisa Tomei, fans were confused at best. But her amazing transformation into a quirky character who clearly has had an entire, full life before taking care of Peter has made her one of the most interesting support characters in the MCU.
Nick Fury Dropped The Hammer – As Usual
In the words of Steve Rogers, Fury, you son of a bitch! The wily former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. made one of his surprise appearances in Peter’s hostel and fans were living for him doing what he does. Namely, having zero time for any sort of foolishness while there is work to be done.
Peter Parker: I just wanna go o–
Nick Fury: You just wanna what?!
Peter: … …. Go on vacation with my friends?
Nick Fury: Vacation? You a superhero and you want a vaca– This that stark shit. Get yo ass in the car Peter. Fuck you think this is? #SpiderManFarFromHome pic.twitter.com/nOPIEd3uxQ

All I know is that when Nick Fury shows up in your apartment unexpectedly, it’s about to go down.
The Internet Approves Of Jake Gyllenhaal As Mysterio
The internet can be fairly unforgiving of first costume reveals, especially when that costume has traditionally been one of the weirder or more corny ones in comics. But Marvel has a history of taking costumes that would look awfully silly if translated exactly (think Vulture and Doctor Strange) and updated them for a modern, live-action format. With Mysterio, however, Marvel went full fishbowl and, far from ripping it apart, the internet embraced it. All hail Mysterio, our new king…or daddy, your call.
But like, let’s be honest, we’re all mostly here for Daddy Mysterio. #SpiderManFarFromHome pic.twitter.com/jD6vT3XKlp

It’s nice to see Marvel will continue cornering the market on “problematically hot villains.” Good job, team.
People Are Desperate To Ignore What’s Bound To Happen In ‘Endgame’
It isn’t all fun and games, however. Remember, Far from Home takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and it’s likely a few of our beloved characters won’t make it out alive. The world of the Spidey sequel is one in which a handful of the superheroes Peter fought alongside are now retired or dead. Brutal.
following the naming convention of Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, I hope the third one is Spider-Man: Home Alone and it’s just Peter on his own trying to protect the Avengers compound from the Sinister Six with complex, web-based traps.

My favorite thing about #SpiderManFarFromHome is answering all the confused fans wondering when this film takes place and telling them it's after #AvengersEndgame and he gets better from being dead and scattered to the four winds. pic.twitter.com/JoTVAXrpp5

Im taking Peter's tired and sad expression while looking at his suit as he just wants a break. Boy has been through hell
Or his mentor's dead. There's also that.#SpiderManFarFromHome pic.twitter.com/8szlvCA6KD

As much as I love Tony Stark, someone needs to go in Endgame, and let’s be honest: Tony Stark’s entire storyline has been leading up to him sacrificing himself for the rest of the Avengers, for the world. He might be the biggest snarky a-hole in the MCU, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t absolutely lay down his life to save others. It’s what he’s been prepping for since the first Avengers movie. Sorry, Iron Man fans, but it looks like Tony is a goner.
But no matter who lives and who doesn’t, one thing is certain…
Spider-Man stay winning. #SpiderManFarFromHome pic.twitter.com/v36hKdhdAT
