You're used to MCU subverting the expectations, but I feel these spoilers seem to be doing that. One element is certainly what some would be concerned about seeing, and I've seen some of reddit state it'd be a disastrous direction to take the franchise in.

Guys and girls, I'm such a weenie about spoilers lately.

Think I can read those without having the main plot spoiled in the film? Do they seem like stand-alone teases for the future or do you think they might spoil main plot points of Far From Home?

No one truly knows until they see the film, but I'd appreciate opinions, nonetheless

Depending on their accuracy, they have the potential to set up some fairly major things in the MCU to come. One of them comes as a direct consequence of a character's final fate in the film, and another might cheat you out of investment in other characters in the story if you don't go in blind

They still could be wrong, I've read about three different post-credit spoilers, just these ones seem to be causing the most noise (and understandably so as they feel the less "kitchen sink" of the lot of them)

I'm hearing that they are bagging phones for tonight's red carpet premiere, so as to prevent spoilers from leaking out too easily. Not 100% sure on this, but a pretty reliable source is claiming it.

Is it possible the spoilers for this film are much larger than we thought? Given Sony's previous marketing for Spider-Man films, I was sort of assuming we essentially knew the 3-act structure at this point.

Spoiler:
JK Simmons was at the Far From Home Premiere so that holds a little weight regarding one of the end credit scenes

I've been in contact with fans who attended the screening. The spoilers are real.

I never doubted the spoilers. Everybody was reporting that.

Spoiler:
That's really cool. Bringing back JK Simmons is going to do a world to assuage Spider-Man fans still feeling whiplash about so many reboots, I think.

Caught the post-credits on Youtube

Spoiler:
Interestingly, Peter is never actually shown unmasked when he's "exposed" so there's wiggle room there.

And Jameson is bald, missing his traditional hairstyle, but he's as bombastic as ever

The scene ends with Peter saying "What the Fu...", last time it was Aunt May

Spoiler:
Looking at the leak, looks like they're making him look like Alex Jones.

And the "Daily Bugle" not a newspaper, but like "Infowars" or something?

Probably a good idea. I personally wish I didn't read certain things.

Tom Holland on LGTBQ representation in the MCU:

"The world isn’t as simple as a straight white guy. It doesn’t end there, and these films need to represent more than one type of person."

Which is fine, but of course it’s hard to do when it comes to these charters that has been around since most people seeing the movies

I’ve learned that I have a difficult time assessing these films on my first watch, but there was a lot I enjoyed about Far From Home, last night.

Now it’s possible it fell below my expectations, but I’m not ready to say that, due to the fact that I need a second watch and I was tired as all hell during my midnight viewing. Will report back after second viewing.
