I actually expect the villain to be one of the areas where Far From Home is weaker than Homecoming, because Michael Keaton's Vulture was one of the better MCU villains.What forced personal connection to Peter Parker will Mysterio have in this film? It seems like Peter is incapable of coming up against a villain in one of these movies who he's not in some way related to (either by blood or by association with that person) when he's not in the mask.
But that's fine if the rest of it works. I think my dream for this movie is 70 percent Peter and his friends on a school trip to Europe, with all of the attendant teenage drama and interpersonal dynamics, 30 percent Spider-Man battling the big pyrotechnic supervillain.
MTV's "Teen Wolf" series did that really well, paralleling the coming of age story of this small handful of high school friends as their friendship deepen and grow, with the supernatural mythology.
