The more I think about it, the bigger the mistake it seems that this director chose to reveal Peter’s identity. Spider-Man has to have a secret identity. Otherwise, why wear a mask? He doesn’t have financial resources to hide out or protect himself or his loved ones like Tony Stark. It was a completely unnecessary plot point literally thrown in at the last minute that will be a negative for the franchise.

@California - Back in 2017, Spider-Man not using his Spider-sense was a perceived ‘negative’ as well, until it was used as a creative plot point that put more emphasis on it than any movie before it. It’s way too premature to declare what is unnecessary or a negative for the franchise right now because you have no idea how this it’s going to play out, and just like the way Spidey’s Spider-sense was held back, it might just turn out to be an actual positive for Spidey’s arc.

@California - But that's the thing. It's not something Peter Parker wanted to do. He has been forced into the situation against his will. To me, its an interesting reveal that makes the future for the character extremely interesting to watch.

@California - that’s exactly why it’s a positive. He doesn’t have any of that, he can’t go into hiding, he can’t protect his friends and family, he has to constantly be looking over his shoulder. Even if he gets help from Fury or Pepper and Happy, people still now know who he is. Plus there’s no secret identities in the MCU, that’s just how it’s always been so it was only a matter of time, and this only makes for a more tense and compelling story.

@California -

A) This isn’t uncharted territory for the character.
B) It opens up a big and new problem Peter will have to work out of, opening up the doors for whole new storytelling with Spider-Man on the big screen.
C) Not an unnecessary plot point at all. This was basically Parker Luck: The Movie, and Mysterio played him like a fiddle all the way through. Mysterio has contingencies for everything, and this was the final one. One Peter could not see coming and it further twists his life on its head.

This will not be a negative, and anyone who is a Spider-Man fan should be excited for what’s to come, considering the times it’s happened in the comics.

@California - I personally feel that a double life is a great asset to storytelling with Spider-man, but I don’t begrudge them the opportunity to try this new path.

I also have to keep reminding myself that, despite Holland being young enough to play Spidey for the next 20 years, it’s extremely doubtful that he will. He’s already done 2 solo movies, and significant appearances in Civil War and Infinity War. So far, no MCU character has gone beyond 3 solo films (Thor looks set to be the first, eventually), and a focus on the civilian life doesn’t really make much sense in the big cross-over films where he’ll share the spotlight with so many other heroes.

As a result, there’s not really a reason to establish a “status quo” for these films... they only get so many chances to try things. Spidey being outed in a big personal story worthy of a solo film... may as well tackle it and see what it brings.

Im kinda thinking Hydro Man is still out there considering the Morris Bench guy article seems legit and had nothing to do with Mysterio's made up backstories for these characters

I’ve never understood fandom’s (or Sony’s) desire to have a Sinister Six show up before there are legitimately 6 villains from prior films to team up. Just like with the Avengers, it’ll mean much more if they’re recognizable.

While I found the mid-credits scene to be pleasantly shocking, I'm not too confident that, in the future films, the producers will delve too much into Peter's identity reveal and its ramifications on his life.
I'm afraid Watts and co. just put it in there for the sake of giving us a "wtf" moment, same way they did with May finding out at the end of Homecoming, which was never touched ever since (on the contrary, May is supportive of Peter being Spider-Man, and she kinda exploits him for charities).
I just hope we see the actual consequences of this reveal in the coming films, instead of having them dismissed and treated as a comedic way to "keep the character and the franchise fresh".

Also, was it Ben Mendelson under the Talos make-up? If so, then damn, I feel sorry for the poor guy, it looks hellishly uncomfortable having to wear that face mask.

I'm curious of what the process was of Tony leaving the glasses to Fury, so that the latter could give them to Peter.

I mean, first, it's the fact that Tony and Fury weren't exactly buddies, meaning there was no good reason why he would trust the former head of SHIELD to give the all-important and powerful EDITH software to a kid. Fury is the guy who'd probably keep it for himself, and his newly formed agency, and never telling Peter, 'cause that's the smart thing to do, by the master-spy who's "secrets got secrets". There are plenty of other people that Tony could trust more for having them give Spider-Man the glasses, like Pepper, Happy, Bruce etc.

Then, it's how Nick has been keeping a low profile since TWS, and, consequently, his contact with Stark has been much rarer than before. This adds to how these two men are far from close colleagues, making Fury even less ideal as a choice for being the middle man.

And when you think about it, why would Tony give something so important to a 15yo kid? Even though he loved him as his son, how could he trust a teenager with a secret double life, to handle this thing and the responsibility around it?

But the most important problem with this plot point is this: how in the actual heck did Tony leave EDITH for Peter, if the former died just a few minutes after the latter was resurrected? He clearly was too busy trying to stop Thanos, so no, I exclude the possibility of him giving some sort of related request, through FRIDAY, to Fury, during that battle. And it doesn't make sense that it'd be in his last will before he even knew Spider-Man would be resurrected, because we're talking about one of the most powerful softwares on the planet -- he wouldn't just leave it to a dead boy who might come back to life.

There you go, I don't like being spoon fed.

@OuzoPowerMan - When Stark came back from space he was pissed at Cap and the other Avengers for never understanding his need to build Ultron and the like until it was too late and half of the universe was dead. So he went off and in the five years after that he built EDITH.

Then the Avengers came to him with their time travel idea, which he refuses but then can’t let go of, in large part because his memories of Peter. So he gets fully onboard the time heist idea and the plan to bring Peter and the rest back. So really, at any point from then on, when he legitimately thought they could undo the snap, he could have programmed the glasses to accept commands from Peter in the event of his death.

As for Fury passing them on, I would go with the idea that Stark anticipated that Fury would make a play for EDITH, and that he very carefully programmed it so that there was no way he could use it and would have to pass it on to Peter... a bit of a chess move from beyond the grave.
