I want to tell you my secret now.

I see dead people.

Silent green is people.

No, I am the father.

Oh, gosh, but... What's in the box? What's in the box?

You maniac!

You blow it up!

Damn you all the hell!

Hello, and welcome to this slate spoiler special on Spider-Man Far From Home.

Spider-Man Far From Home picks up after the

events of Avengers Endgame, with the half of the world's population that was snapped into

oblivion restored after a five-year gap. That includes Peter Parker and most of the notable

members of his Queen's high school class, who are gearing up for a class trip to Europe. Peter

tries to leave his spidey suit behind, but Trouble naturally follows him in the form of giant creatures called Elementals, who are trying to consume the Earth whole. Batting on Spitey's team are Nick Fury and Quentin Beck, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who introduces himself as a visitor from another dimension where the earth has already been destroyed by the elementals.

Mysterio, as he's eventually dubbed, says he wants to prevent the same thing that happened to his earth from happening to ours. But things start to not add up. And this is the point where I remind you that this is a spoiler special and we're going to spoil the entire plot of the movie. Joining me to do that, our Ngu Kang, who is the staff writer at Slate. Hello, Ingu. Hello, hello.

And Alex Barash, who is the staff writer at Slate. Hello, Ingu. Hello, hello.
