I’ve watched it a couple of times now, and though I agree with the idea that it seems odd that everyone seems pretty “normal” despite what happened with the snap/unsnap, I feel that they’ll have some way of explaining that...mainly because they’ve been great about everything else I’ve thought was questionable, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Anyway, I feel like this is a perfect film to follow up “Endgame,” in the same way that “Ant-Man and The Wasp” was the perfect follow up to “Infinity War.”
“Endgame” was heavy, emotional, and a bit of a gut punch in a couple of ways. “Far From Home” feels light by comparison, will likely be pretty humorous (not that “Endgame” didn’t have some excellent humor, of course), and will probably kind of lean more into “fun” territory.
It’s almost a mirror image to how “Ant-Man and Wasp” was a lighthearted film compared to “Infinity War.”
Even the timing is almost the exact same...

Looks like fun! I am just curious when the Sony/ Disney deal expires. I can see Sony pulling a bonehead move and after the movies deal is completed with Disney they keep Spidey "In House" and the movies go back to being mediocre at best.
This is my exact belief! I think the multi verse is a tease and mysterios excuse to look like a hero
Exactly. Not to be pedantic, but the world was trying to get on with things 5 years after the snap. And the Antman at the window / Professor Hulk snap scene / birds chirping leads me to believe that the Thanos "snap" destroyed half of all life (not just half of all sentient beings). So half the bacteria, viruses, algae, amphibians, birds, mammals, fish, etc... does this include the flora and fauna also? In any event, just focusing on the humans, Thanos' snap caused 3.5 billion earth humans to die. Tony made it clear with Steve and later Bruce, that the new "snap" was NOT TO ERASE THE PAST 5 YEARS (and therefore lose his family life) but just to bring back all of the "dead" into the current time. Which implies that they COULD HAVE GONE BACK TO THE EXACT MOMENT OF THANOS' SNAP 5 YEARS EARLER, AND UNDONE IT.
OK, leaving the non-human creatures out of the equation, TONY'S SNAP WOULD DESTROY THE PLANET. To suddenly have 3.5 billion people on earth again (5 years younger by the living's standards)... Infrastructure, emergency rooms, hospitals, utilities, water supply, food supply would be in utter chaos. Stress, anxiety, severe depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, homicide, suicide would suddenly skyrocket in both the living and newly-alive-again. Religious communities would be struggling with such a massive paradigm shift.
The MCU basically gave us the non-religious version of the Biblical Rapture and Battle of Armageddon.
Showing Peter Parker and his group of classmates back in high school hallways, going to 3rd period Spanish class like nothing had happened, simply does not make sense. Would there not be people in Peter's sophmoroe or Junior class who survived the snap, and are now 22/23 years old? My 2 cents guess is that we will get a very brief, unsatisfying, timy-wimy wave of the hand gloss over all of that, and rapid focus change to Mysetrio.

Well yeah, they'd be in college and replaced by kids who didn't get snapped and aged normally for the past 5 years. It's a storytelling conceit that Peter closest friends were all snapped, but it's not movie-breaking implausible.

I find it amusing how so many people will accept that magical stones placed in a magical gauntlet can magically erase half of an entire universe. Then time travel can allow our heroes to regather said magical stones to put them in a different magical gauntlet and then magically unerase half of an entire universe...
...but for some reason they can’t accept that this ultimate magical gauntlet could somehow also magically make everyone fine and everything fine in the world again.

Man, I was just about to try and articulate the same point. Magic stones, space aliens, time travel; calm down.
Heaven forbid they set the stories in a universe where humanity found the whole experience humbling and somewhat unifying.
It's almost like the movie was set in a world where alien invaders, super heroes, super villains, secret Nazi super scientists hiding inside secret American super spy agencies, Norse gods, galactic space travel, and other horrifying oddities, are all public knowledge...

Why? Endgame has been out long enough now, and the trailer states that there are spoilers in it fir Endgame.

To quote the dictionary:
"To marvel at (someone or something)
To look at something and feel or express astonishment, wonder, or admiration."
Nuff said
Last night I watched a video on you tube with the Russo brothers
They explained how the time travel works in end game, and pretty much confirms there is multiverses
So I guess this is where they are going.. I kinda don’t like the multiverse idea
I gave up reading comics when they started introducing 616, and 1999 and all those other universes.. basically a cash grab to sell more books.. I didn’t like it
So I’m not very familiar with how it all works..

Eh, at this point, a multiverse is fine. They've gotten their cinematic universe to the point where they just need to be able to do the same thing as the comics: pick some interesting characters, tell an interesting story, be done with it. And not have to worry about how it fits into everything else.

So I read something interesting yesterday that was related to my gut feeling about Nick Fury sitting in Peter's room with a tranquillizer gun:
Is the true villain of Spider-Man: Far From Home hiding in plain sight?

Premiere was last night. Lots of reviews published this morning. Sounds like another hit and that they deal directly with the aftermath of Avengers.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Review - IGN
Thanks to its sweet humor, clever commentary, and deft action set-pieces, Far From Home continues the journey of Peter Parker from kid hero to Tony Stark’s successor.
Spider-Man explores an overpopulated post-Endgame world in the funny Far From Home
Eleven years and 23 movies in, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is primarily about itself: a chronicle of major events and minor wisecracks high on its own world-building. Some individual MCU projects assert their own thematic or stylistic concerns, but it appears increasingly difficult to escape...

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a full-on heroic triumph
It directly follows Avengers: Endgame — and lives up to it.
