Spider-man: far from home

[inky_magpie]

The movie was cute, and I totally buy Tom Holland as a sixteen year old kid who just had to deal with a massive amount of shit. (Alien invasion! Space! Mentor dying! Dealing with being time-space displaced and finding your world has changed! High school!)

The plot had a few issues, mostly hinging on 1) Peter giving the glasses to Mysterio. I can buy that because well, traumatized sixteen year old kid who just wants his summer vacation and maybe kiss one girl in particular.

1b) "Fury"'s general "your clearly not ready" Bullshit. Did you WANT Peter to give away EDITH to what seemed like a more responsible adult?? Like, OK. The kid nope'd out of being an Avenger because he wasn't ready. Peter himself says several times he's not ready for "shit, the world's ending!" level stuff. He's SIXTEEN. That psychological tactic might work for people like Tony and Steve. Fury would have changed tactics after the second push.(Kinda glad they revealed Talos (the skrull) as filling in for Fury)

2) Fury, or "Fury" not doing a basic background check. Oh, you're from an alternate version of our planet that got destroyed by monsters? OK, great. Lemme just pull up Google, NSA files, all the info that a person like Fury would have access to, while you sit in this heavily monitored facility with no cellphone or wi-fi reception while I also track down our reality's version of you. I got checked out more thoroughly trying to get an apartment than Quinton Beck.

3) Happy Hogan.

Let me just repeat that.

Fucking. Happy. Hogan.

How. the. FUCK!? did he end up as Head of Security for Stark Industries?

Now, I know that I probably fall closer to the villains in the grudge holding and general spite levels here. But didn't the entire plot of Spider-man: Homecoming happen because this dude didn't LISTEN TO PETER for an entire fucking movie??? Why the hell is Peter so chill with this dude? I mean, a goddamn superhero is calling you, saying "hey, shady shit is happening, plz investigate?" and you... don't? WHAT THE FUCK?

How is the man responsible for more than a houseplant?

I mean, dude's lack of follow up cost a lot of money in property damage, a bunch of people died, and also Peter! Himself! nearly died fighting the Vulture! I sure as hell wouldn't want him cozying up to my aunt. Hell, I'm not sure if I would still speak to the guy at all.
