Spider-Man losing his webs is a trope that dates back all the way to the seventies. Those familiar with both the character's comics and his many animated incarnations will know that it's a fairly worn-out device designed to slow the pace of a given story down, with the nineties show in particular a repeat offender.

Far From Home continues the trope in its third act, forcing Spider-Man to wield an explosive drone core and Tower Bridge's plaque to make his way to Beck's position.

It might seem like a minor detail, but it's one etched into Spidey's history across multiple mediums.
