Just got our Midnight Premiere tickets for this right now! So excited!
I honestly did not expect the movie to be so tied to Endgame, at least from the first trailer shown. But I am quite looking forward to seeing the aftermath of Endgame. I'm also a bit... reserved may be the word. Since they brought up the M word, I wonder if this is a way for Sony to perhaps "take back" their property and separate Spiderman from the MCU? Could Venom be tied to the M word as well?
Ha; I'm too old for that I guess! I saw the midnight(ish) showing as the first and was all "nope; I'll wait for first showing next am." Young me would reeeeallly scoff at old me :PMy thoughts on that: Quentin/Mysterio has always been the opportunist-type in the books, and to be blunt, he's a liar. Like, if someone published a book about him it would share the title of Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liar Who Lied". I suspect this movie is him BS'ing a LOT of stuff in order to look like the good guy/hero post-Snap universe. If there is a general consensus in-universe of "Iron Man, Captain America, other Avengers have either retired or died!" then it's possible someone like Quentin can step in to take advantage of that relative chaos. I suspect that1) Myserio is the bad guy he's always been in the comics (albeit, maybe a "misunderstood" type of bad guy - a multi-layered character that is sympathetic, as Marvel has been doing lately with their villains)2) he's making everything up to project (see what I did there) himself as the big hero who saves the world while pulling strings behind the scenes. I think the potential "hydro man," or whomever the "elemental" monsters in the trailer are, are really just part of Mysterio's projections and don't really exist.3) Quentin/Myseterio is making all of this stuff happen (illusion or no) to prop himself up as the "new" Tony Stark for some reasonJust a hunch of mine, and a reason why I personally will likely take all of this "my world" and "multiverse" stuff with a ginormous grain of salt until I've seen the actual film. I could be way off and maybe all of this is literal, or at least some of it. But just what I have a feeling will happen. Marvel writers & Kevin Feigi have been pretty great with misdirection and significantly changing details around to throw off fans who think they know what will happen so I could be WAY off. We'll find out in a month & change I guess!

So just came back. I held off on tickets just because I didn’t know where aid be this weekend and once I realized I’d be home, and actually once my boss strongly suggested I work from home today, I got a matinee ticket. So questions/random commentsSorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
1. IDK; I think it was played off pretty well. Especially given his "Tony made a mistake and we're all trying to correct it." Plus, they essentially did what you said: Mysterio was sympathetic in the 2nd act until he went full-psycho at the end. He went from an "oh, I can see where he's coming from here - maybe there's something to be said for that" to "OMG he went of the bad-guy deep end!"2. I was wondering that too! Makes sense, I guess? Or maybe Happy did?3. YES! All movie I was literally thinking, "Sam L. Jackson must be bored with Fury: he's kind of playing him as if he's just going-through-the-motions and collecting a paycheck. Bummer." As for what he's doing? Maybe SWORD, or Alpha Force, or something similar is my guess.
