0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Eric Boss, and Spider-Man Far From Home was the love letter to Marvel fans to cheer us up from the sob fest of Avengers End Game |
0:06.5 | with lots of laughs and a lot of weed. |
0:08.8 | What's? |
0:09.7 | To twist after twist. |
0:11.3 | But the many Mr. X of Far From Home were part of its elaborate design. |
0:15.5 | So join me as I rewatch and break down this Spider-Man film scene by scene to explore its deeper meaning and the |
0:21.3 | many Easter eggs that director John Watts hid throughout this film. Spoiler warning, we haven't |

0:29.4 | Maria Hill drive up to the ruins of the town of Extanko to investigate a cyclone that locals |

1:14.7 | But this sand monster that they're fighting is not Flint Marco Sandman. |
1:18.6 | It's what Beck later describes as an elemental. |
1:21.3 | So including this deliberate Sandman reference on the plate is a deliberate misdirect by the director. |
1:26.8 | He's telling us eagle-eyed |
1:28.0 | viewers, hey, good job you think you found the truth, but that truth is how high. You say you trust |
