10 Movie Plot Twists So Subtle You Totally Missed Them

Of course, nobody missed the twist half-way through Spider-Man: Far From Home, that Quentin Beck aka Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) is actually the movie's secret villain - a former employee of Stark Industries with a vendetta against Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) for firing him.

In particular, Beck loathes that Stark took the holographic illusion tech he invented and renamed it B.A.R.F., as amuses the conference crowd he reveals it to.

You might recall that Stark first showed off B.A.R.F. back in Captain America: Civil War, long before we ever saw Quentin Beck on-screen, but what you probably don't remember is that the crowd never actually laughed at the device's name.

If you go back to Civil War, the audience was silent when B.A.R.F. was announced, confirming that Beck has amplified and misremembered the incident in his head.

While he might dislike what Stark did with his prototype, the general humiliation factor wasn't nearly as bad as he's convinced himself.
