When that very first wave of just social media reactions hit of the initial Far From Home release, when they were letting people say a couple vague sentences about the movie but still no spoilers, when people were on about some big shocking twisty things by the end of it, I was starting to think they were going to kill off Happy Hogan as well.

I still get a nice laugh out of that "I work WITH Spiderman, not FOR Spiderman!!" :-D

This movie really failed to make you feel like you were experiencing a character suffering with loss.

He gets like one scene where he remotely expresses sadness about Tony and his 'Spider-man no more' segment where he basically states he is going to leave his Spider-man suit behind and chooses to leave it when going on Holiday/Vacation is never felt with any amount of weight.

The death of Tony Stark, despite characters asking about the 'next Iron Man' has no real effect on the MCU as presented in Far From Home. Crime does not increase despite one of the Avengers being gone. Mysterio's entire motivation is meant to be the idea of giving people a hero to believe in - but they have other heroes so it all falls flat.

It feels heavily like the MCU attempted a 'my hero academia' set-up and fell flat on its face. In the MCU Tony Stark was just 'a hero' not the 'number one hero', he may have been a focal point to the film series but this was not his story he was merely a member in the story. The world would mourn and carry on, not look for a replacement.

It'd arguably have made more sense for Peter be one of the few still clinging onto Iron Man while the rest of the world moves on - though once again they made no attempt to make him or the audience feel the weight of the responsibility or death other than vague remarks about 'being the next Iron Man' or asking him to do his job as hero which he should do anyway.

Peter is too much like Tony's Robin in this iteration.

Will be interesting to see how Rhodey is coping though
