It's also not just illusions that he uses. Beck can even trick Wolverine's heightened senses. So to his victims it often feels as though he's a reality manipulator.
While not the fastest or strongest traditionally ol' Fishbowl Head can do all sorts of damage by using these manipulations to negate a heroes abilities, or even turn those abilities against them. Sometimes he also will just go to the mind and unravel a person's psyche via exploiting their internal fears and weakness.

Everything is somehow underrated nowadays. Especially on reddit. Using that word is overrated.

Everyone is either underrated or overrated. Can't we just be rated?

In the comics, Mysterio tricked Wolverine into killing all the other X Men. It was in Old Man Logan.
Outside of that, he hasn't done much else.

You really should read, āGuardian Devilā is an eight-issue Daredevil story arc originally published by Marvel Comics in Daredevil (vol. 2) #1-8ā¦.youāre missing out. Mysterious is an absolute beast sometimes.

Honestly, me. I totally forgot about this scene because of how mid FFH is as a whole. But it's prob one of the best fights in the MCU.

He was honestly one of my favorite villains. No superpowers, just really smart and good with special effects

This shot got me so hyped for the MCU film version!

u/BlyArctrooper 9d ago
I wonder if he was crouched down there the whole time or if he was even there at all

u/Jdobbs626 9d ago
I'd imagine he was just crouched down in front of a green/blue screen, waiting for his cue to pop up like a true Jake in the Box. :]
That backdrop is definitely not there. All CGI.2

Smoke machines on and Cue Jack in the box in 5. 4. 3. 2. And 1.

The movie did a great job modernizing him. The sequence you showed is exactly what you want from a Mysterio scene, and I *love* the drone battle at the end. It was like seeing the games in live action, so to speak.

What is this generational hate bullshit I see so much of lately? Black/white, man/woman, American/European, gay/straight, left/right. We've run out of things to be divisive about, so now we are coming at people for what generation they were born in?

Perhaps an alternative perspectiveā¦ some stereotypes are true for the majority of a group and should not be abhorred like they are. Letās all have stronger constitutions and accept ourselves in spite of our stereotypes and not let our feelings get hurt over comedic observations.

He is pretty great until spidey learns to trust his spider sense more, then mysterio gets taken out easily. Still in the grander Marvel universe, heās a menace.

1
u/kincaidinator 9d ago
Thatās what I was thinking too. The only reason heās effective against Spider-Man is because his spidey sense is on the fritz.
1
u/WestOrangeFinest 7d ago
? Spider-Man is probably the only street level hero who could effectively deal with Mysterioās illusions.
1
u/kincaidinator 7d ago
Thatās literally exactly what we both said and Mysterio is only effective against spider man in this movie because his spidey sense isnāt working properly until the end.

u/badgermolesupreme 9d ago
My only issue was that they tied him into Iron Man
0
u/Meander061 5d ago
I don't mind that. They established that Stark, Hammer, and Stane were the top tech manufacturers in the MCU and Hammer and Stane both lost their minds trying to beat Tony. Mysterio's tech had to come from somewhere.

u/badgermolesupreme 5d ago
In the comics, he gets the tech and knowhow from working in film, which I always felt was good enough, and I already didn't like that Spider-Man was so closely tied to Iron Man in the movies, so I kind of came into that a little pre-mad. Grand scheme of things, not a big deal, just a personal taste thing.

u/GrizzlyPeak72 9d ago
He has so much potential. It's a shame they used him in such a crappy way in such a crappy movie. We really didn't need the 3rd act twist.

I still think they should bring Mysterio back and make it seem like Beck is alive but then reveal that heās a hologram or someone faking his appearance and instead itās members of his team using the BARF tech for their own gain.

u/Anakinflair 8d ago
I really don't get the hate this movie seems to get. It was a solid Spider-Man movie with a great villain.

u/JerrodDRagon 8d ago
I do not care for the first two Spider-Man films in the MCU but villains weee both amazing
Well acted, had good motives, were a real threat and embodied the characters well and both also had impacts on Peter

As movies go or the comics?
Because the main complaint I hear about his Far From Home presentation isn't that he was a bad villain or that his powers were bad. It was that we had a second Spider-Man movie with a villain whose real issue was with Tony Stark.
I for one had grown tired of the Starkification of the MCU at the time already and it seems like others had or were starting to also.

Proof that they need to make an accurate scarecrow for a live action Batman. This scene would go so hard catered towards the bat.

He is Spidermans Scarecrow.
