12 Movies Everyone KNEW Were Lying

4. Spider-Man: Far From Home

Non-comic book fans are people to be envied. The twists and plot directions appear more exciting when you don't know what's going on or why, and for the character of Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the shock of him being the villain was only a surprise to a few.

It's understandable; at this point new heroes are sprinkled into the MCU like icing sugar on a Victoria Sponge, so for a cosmic Jake Gyllenhaal to team up with Spider-Man, non-familiar audience members would have assumed that a new hero with a solo film was on the horizon.

But Spider-Man fans know better, and movie aficionados know even more, and so the wait to see Mysterio's turn to villain was right around the corner. The cast of Spider-Man FFH all stated that Mysterio and Spider-Man team up to fight the Elementals, and everyone knew that was a huge pile of cow muck.

Mysterio is an exciting villain in Spider-Man, and showing pictures of him and Spider-Man shaking hands wasn't going to deter anyone away from the truth.

It would have been wild though, if Mysterio was from another dimension, and in that world some villains are actually the good guys. Shame it didn't happen.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
