History YMMV / SpiderManFarFromHome

** The horrible tribute video seen at the beginning of the film was already dripping with DramaticIrony, given it states Captain America amongst the fallen Avengers, despite the audience knowing he's actually alive. With ''Series/WandaVision'' revealing [[spoiler:that Vision was reactivated by S.W.O.R.D a year before this film's events, it makes said tribute look even more ignorant, as it indicates that Peter's school [[FailedASpotCheck somehow didn't learn that one of the most powerful Avengers was resurrected in that twelve-month interim]]]].
** Peter's teachers keep claiming the Elementals are being caused by "witches". Fast forward to ''Series/WandaVision'' and that's a very real possibility, since it's revealed that witches have exist since the late 1600s in the MCU.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Quintin Beck's line near the end of the film about "shaking hands with the queen" dates the film to before Queen Elizabeth II's death on September 8, 2022.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Many fans feel that the invention of E.D.I.T.H. itself retroactively paints Tony Stark in a quite dark and unsympathetic light. Tony has basically created a quick access database of what is implied to be every person on Earth with a public record and can immediately track their exact location and pull out disturbingly detailed personal information on a whim, and even has the ability to kill anyone with drones at a single spoken command, with no governmental nor judicial oversight whatsoever, all of which reeks to high heaven of SinisterSurveillance of the worst kind in a manner not too dissimilar to [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Project Insight]]. The whole setup seems to at least strongly imply that Tony thought he had the unquestioned right to act as JudgeJuryAndExecutioner with impunity. Granted, while Tony did show hints of these tendencies in some of his darker moments while he was alive, and he had been shown to be so thoroughly troubled and traumatized by everything he went through over the series that these traits getting exacerbated could be a somewhat believable development, many still find that him creating E.D.I.T.H. and the implications of it, chiefly the blatant disregard for privacy and the lack of even just the pretence of any kind of oversight and due process involved, are still taking it all a step too far. To make matters worse, since Tony is dead, he cannot explain the reasoning behind why he thought it necessary to create E.D.I.T.H. in the first place, nor is the numerous problematic aspects of the concept ever really explored in depth within the film. There is also the fact that he decided to bequeath the glasses controlling E.D.I.T.H. to Peter -- who, while an unusually smart and scientifically-gifted teenager with his heart in the right place, is ''still'' a teenager -- which many see as an incredibly stupid and rash decision for a man that is supposed to have been one of the smartest men in the MCU, as well as someone who acted as a mentor and father-figure for Peter and should therefore reasonably know him well enough to realize that he wouldn't be able to handle that kind of power.

* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler:Compared to his comic counterpart who had trouble getting work for not being attractive enough, Mysterio here is played by the gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal.]]

* WTHCastingAgency: Creator/JakeGyllenhaal isn't exactly the first actor that comes to mind for Mysterio. Specifically, Gyllenhaal is a very handsome man, and part of Mysterio's backstory is that he wanted to get into show business but wasn't handsome enough to be an actor. This was mitigated when it was revealed that Mysterio was being reimagined as a ''good guy''. [[spoiler:Or rather, someone pretending to be a hero. It also makes sense since he's chosen to be the "face" of Mysterio out of all the other ex-Stark employees who have banded together -- if you're inventing a superhero, you'd want someone who can look the part. In addition, when he's wearing E.D.I.T.H, he bears a noticeable resemblance to Robert Downey Jr.]]

** After Michelle "MJ" Jones ended up being a bit divisive in ''Homecoming'' for constantly snarking at her friends, [[AdvertisedExtra doing not much of note in that movie in spite of getting high billing]], and having relatively little in common with the character that she's loosely inspired by (Mary Jane Watson), her characterization here is more widely liked, with some even noting that her insight, observation of people, ActionGirl moments and chemistry with Peter is closer to the MJ of the comics, as is her somewhat impish sense of humor.

** The continued lack of verbal acknowledgment of Ben Parker with his only indirect reference being a suitcase with his initials. Some feel that Ben’s presence isn’t needed in this continuity and that name-dropping him wouldn't have added anything to the story as Peter has already learned “WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility” (not to mention it is arguably TruerToTheText, as Uncle Ben was barely acknowledged after his death in the early high school comics by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, only becoming more of a presence after Peter graduated high school). Detractors however feel that refusing to acknowledge Uncle Ben and pushing Tony and Happy as father figures go against the cores of Spider-Man with them also viewing the suitcase’s destruction as a middle finger to fans.

* ReplacementScrappy: Tony essentially serving as MCU Peter's father figure instead of Ben Parker has always been a sore spot for longtime ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' fans, but this film is where it finally blew up. The graveyard portion of [[spoiler:Mysterio's iconic illusion MindRape]] scene in particular was seen as the perfect opportunity to mention him for a perfect KickTheDog moment.

** [[spoiler:J. Jonah Jameson being portrayed as a conspiracy theorist and not a respected (albeit morally dubious) newspaper director stretches back to his very [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan first appearance]] where he fabricates a conspiracy theory that Spider-Man sabotaged his son's space capsule. In fact, he was not even the editor of the ''Bugle'' initially, but rather its publisher.]]

** Not necessarily. The film is set in Summer 2024, so he could be referring to Camilla, the Queen (Consort). Alternatively, maybe Elizabeth II was blipped, so she came back to life in 2023 as she was in 2018.

* AngstWhatAngst: Ned only has one reaction to learning that Nick Fury sedated him and "hijacked" Peter's vacation: "Awesome!"

* MoralEventHorizon: See [[MoralEventHorizon/MarvelCinematicUniverse here]].

* SpoiledByTheFormat: [[spoiler:Any doubts about Mysterio actually being the bad guy are likely taken care of when the last Elemental is defeated when there's clearly still a big chunk of the movie to go.]]
** [[spoiler:Which assumes that the audience [[TheUnTwist doesn't already know]] Mysterio is a well-established villain based on illusion and deception in the source material and/or previous adaptations.]]
