Far From Home Spider-Man: Far From Home General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

I unliked this so I could like it again. Awesome cover!!!

Because he's dead, no? At this point, doing constant callbacks to Uncle Ben would come down to ad nauseam repetition, considering that he that simply won't be factoring into the story anymore. Anything meaningful Uncle Ben-related, outside of some sort of retcon, we've already seen in previous films that aren't that old yet.

Uncle Ben's death is a necessity so I don't see what that has to do with my opinion of him being sidelined. Ben dies or has already died in every iteration of Spider-Man.

I don't agree with the argument that because it's been done before we shouldn't do it again. And time doesn't factor either. In my opinion, the importance of Ben is an unmovable part of the mythos. And I don't feel like this series has done justice or respected that element enough.

I'm not asking for "constant callbacks." There were several moments within Homecoming where they could have given Ben his due and created a more emotional, relatable attachment. Imo, that's not asking for too much especially considering how important I feel this is to the lore.

But yes, they've already messed that up to the point where it doesn't make sense to now start showing the importance of Ben. Hence, my opinion he's been sidelined.

People really need to get over this Uncle Ben nonsense. Go re-read his death in the comics or watch the Raimi or Webb films for your fix.

As a hardcore Spider-Man fan like most on here, we know how important Ben is as well as his passing in relation to Peter. We just don't need to see it again nor have it mentioned throughout all the current Sony/MS films multiple times.

Remember Harry oscorp use to ask why peter wasn’t crying about uncle Ben a full year after he became Spider-Man? And thought he was retconned?

He’s not retconned. It’s implied something happened.

Peter tells Ned that after all that’s happened aunt may would freak if peter was Spider-Man

And when iron man asked why peter is Spider-Man, he looks very sad and tells tony that when bad things happen or something. Can’t remember

"When you can do what I do, and you don't, and then the bad things happen....they happen because of you."

Fitting the usual version, in that his inaction about a thief led to Ben getting killed.

An implication doesn't offer input on the character based situations it has on a Peter. We get an idea, but to anyone who doesn't know, that idea doesn't offer much.

"When you can do what I do, and you don't, and then the bad things happen....they happen because of you."

That doesn't offer a strong connection to the situation. In this, that could mean any number of things.

Those versions aren't this.

It has been really talked about at all and we've had 4 movies with Spider-Man and one coming up, that seems to be about Peter losing Tony. I've seen someone say they want Tony to be his Uncle Ben. It didn't have to be really talked about in CW or mentioned multiple times in every Spider-Man story, but as far as this series has displayed, Ben could've never even been around and Peter's speech in CW could have been about not stopping a speeding car from hitting a bystander. I think that by doing that, a strong aspect of the character isn't in these stories.

 

[ironwez20]

The hell you mean it could be any number of things. Look uncle Ben is in the mcu and he died. That whole speech was screaming, uncle Ben died cause of me but it didn’t wanna give to much away . But anyway in the trailer for ffh he uses his suit case. So yea. His initials are literally on the suitcase. So he’s in the mcu and he died. There’s nothing to wonder about

I don't think that has strong meaning in connection with an idea that's more hinted at than delved in to, to me.

Amen. So no matter how many time Spiderman gets rebooted, you guys want Uncle Ben to die in all of them? That's repetitive. It's good they are trying other things.

[SpeterMan3]

I just want to hear his name once. That's it. And I'd think there's a good chance we will in FFH with Peter taking is suitcase. No one wants to see him die again. A single direct reference would probably be enough to end most of this debate, or whatever it is. It won't bother me in the slightest if we never see him, we never hear this version of what happened, whatever. But we can't at least see a picture on the wall? It's just weird to avoid a single direct reference so thoroughly.

Amen. That's all I want. One line. Tony can have the rest of Peter's attention

*shakes head*

It reminds me way back when people were actually wanting it to show his origin again in some way. Same thing with The Incredible Hulk before we saw that they showed us a bit of Banner's accident during the credits.

Some people just want the same thing over and over again or can't move on. It's not the end of the world if they don't fully refer to Uncle Ben.

Personally, as much as "With great power comes great responsibility" is tied to Spider-Man/Parker, I swear I'll throw up if I hear it again. We've heard it so many times that the general audience also damn well knows by now that is a Spider-Man thing. Same with Uncle Ben's death.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I don't think anyone is asking for the origin to be redone.

[Invader Joker]

Call me crazy but I think we're gonna get an Spiderverse crossover. Maybe a post credita scene will tease it.

 

[Darkprime]

Gotta be a sinister six hint right? Really hope the Sony deal gets renewed soon.

Wanting the character to be a developed concept in the movies isn't the same as being repeitiive or showing the origin wholesale again.

Yes. It's not repetitive to have the character have a developed idea.

It's good they are trying other things.

I think that's not the case.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Here goes the "That's -the not Korean- Amadeus Cho" speculations.

Maybe they should have made a body horror film.

 

[Spidey_62]

That's cool, hope he comes back! The master of illusion can fake his death even if it looks like he dies! Like half of Loki's onscreen deaths!

 

[Shuri]

Have to be. I can't think of anything else.

 

[Darkprime]

What if Sony wants to introduce the multiverse so they can bring in Tom Hardy into the MCU for the sinister six?

 

[Spider-Fan]

Please be Sinister Six...please be Sinister Six...
