In fact, the biggest easter egg in "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is the "movie" itself.
As the Skrulls said: "How do I know that the whole thing is fake, they do it so flawlessly that the fake is real , the acting, the illusion, and the costumes are amazing ."
Isn't this the self-referral of the movie, isn't this the charm of the movie?

1. Skillful use of the goddess statue in the title
Let’s start with a small detail to appetize~
After the iconic goddess LOGO of Columbia Pictures appeared, it gradually merged into a statue with its head lowered, and the background was an empty wilderness.
Similar scene transitions or "spoofing" titles are often seen in Columbia Pictures productions, such as the one above, from the film Noisy Mice (1959).
In the title of "Men in Black: Global Pursuit" released some time ago, the statue of the goddess also wore the iconic props in the movie-sunglasses.
2. "I Will Always Love You"
When the Marvel title logo appeared, the BGM was Whitney Houston 's famous song "I Will Always Love You".
With a commemorative video, Iron Man, Black Widow, Vision and other members of the Avengers who died appeared one after another.
Whitney Houston passed away in 2012. This is her masterpiece (the theme song of the movie "Bodyguard"), so it is unique to use it in the Avengers commemorative video.
3. "In Memoriam"
The video in the title commemorating the deceased members of the Avengers was actually edited and produced by the students of Peter Parker's high school , so if you are careful enough, you will find that the image quality of the Vision is a bit low...
" In Memoriam " at the beginning of the video also echoes " a Film by Peter Parker " in the Spider-Man selfie video from the previous episode of "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
4. Immediately after the timeline of "Reunion 4"
The plot of Spider-Man: Far From Home takes place 8 months after Tony snapped his fingers, and half of the disappeared population has returned to the real world.
Everything starts anew, the Avengers members are remembered by the world, and the little spider hits the road alone .
So Kevin Feige didn't lie to us, this movie didn't do a multiverse (although the trailer lied to us), and it was indeed a direct sequel to Avengers 4.
Five, campus radio host Betty
Blonde girl Betty Brandt , like the last episode, first appeared in the school program video as the host.
Betty got together with Spider-Man's good friend Ned in this episode, and the combination of the two was surprising.
Gossip, Betty in the comics was Peter Parker's girlfriend .
In the old version of "Spider-Man 3" , the two worked for the "Daily Bugle", and Betty was the secretary.
6. Aunt May and Happy
Through Aunt May's speech, we know that she also disappeared five years after Thanos snapped his fingers.
Aunt Mei, who has been in a different dimension for five years, has not changed her face, and she also fell in love with Tony's personal security "Happy".
In the backstage, the two of you spoke with each other affectionately, which made Little Spider stunned.
The previous "Captain America 3" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming" once made us feel that Aunt May and Tony were ambiguous, but it was only an appearance.
Because Aunt May once said very bluntly to Spider-Man: " I don't like that Tony Stark ."
Seven, small pepper
When Happy came out, he was holding a huge Stark Group fund receipt card signed Pepper Potts .
Because as early as "Iron Man 2", Tony had already handed over his family group to Little Pepper to take care of it.
8. Black Dahlia
Before the start of his European vacation, Spider-Man discussed with Ned how to confess to MJ , and the gift he planned to give was a " black dahlia " because he thought it matched MJ's cool temperament.
However, the mention of "Black Dahlia" is more associated with the "Black Dahlia Case", which has been brought to the screen many times.
Coincidentally, Scarlett Johansson starred in the 2006 movie of the same name before becoming Black Widow. Isn't this Easter egg very interesting?
9. Don't hang up on Nick Fury
In order to take a relaxing vacation, the little spider hangs up the call from the director in front of Happy.
Happy knew that the hot-tempered Director was not easy to mess with, so he said to Little Spider: " How dare you hang up Nick Fury! "
In fact, the upright little spider even hung up the phone of Tony's father ("Spider-Man: Homecoming"), not to mention the director.
10. "Star Wars"
Star Wars elements can be said to be inseparable from Little Spider.
In Captain America 3, he tripped Ant-Man with tactics from The Empire Strikes Back , and a Death Star model appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming .
In this episode, the director said "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight" before handing him Iron Man's glasses, and added in a blink of an eye, "I know if it weren't for the lines in "Star Wars", you might I don't quite understand."
Eleven Edith
Next is the glasses. Shortly after the release of the second trailer, the glasses that Iron Man left to the little spider appeared on the hot search - the power of details.
Like Jarvis, the glasses are connected to a super artificial intelligence developed by Tony, and have a new name "Edith", the English name Edith , taken from "Even dead, I'm the hero".
Translation in the film: Although the Yiren passed away, the heroic spirit of the emperor is eternal.
This way of naming, not only Tony's usual arrogance, but also inexplicable tears.
12. Mystery Guest
Now comes the part with serious spoilers !
In my private opinion, "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition" is the single-player Marvel story that requires the highest level of confidentiality except for "Avengers 3 & 4" .
Because this is a reversal movie that has done enough "deceptive" in the early stage .
The plot information given in the previous trailer is only half of the main film, and the mythical hero Mysterio (real name Quentin Baker) is actually the real villain.
Those destructive elements are all illusions created by him to confuse the people and become a superhero who controls the new world.
This setting is actually consistent with the original comic.
In the comics, Mysterio is a member of Spider-Man's nemesis "The Evil Six " .
Out of jealousy and resentment, he developed a holographic projection device with a strong sense of virtual reality.
Not only did he use illusions to make himself a superhero, but he even pretended to be Spider-Man everywhere to commit crimes, in order to discredit Spider-Man, who is regarded as a guardian by the public.
The god (to) the secret (phantom) guest in the movie fully restores the comic image , including his iconic " fish tank head " . "Miracle Studio".
Next, we will continue to expand some related easter eggs about mysterious guests.
Thirteen, linkage "Captain America 3"
The highly realistic holographic projection technology used by Mysterio can be said to be a very key easter egg in this film.
Because it is the binary augmented reality technology that we have mentioned many times before , that is , the black technology worth nearly a billion dollars that Tony showed in "Captain America 3" .
Before the release of "Avengers 4", many fans predicted that binary enhancement technology would come in handy in the fight against Thanos, but the fact was not mentioned at all.
No one thought it would be used in Spider-Man: Far From Home. It can only be said that the hole dug by Marvel can only be filled by Marvel itself , and it is difficult for others to guess it.
14. Another madman who hates Tony
Binary augmented reality technology is set in the film to be designed by Mysterio, who used to be an engineer for the Stark Group.
It is precisely because Tony " occupied " the technology and fired him (Mysterio's side words) that Mysterio held a grudge against Tony, and then directed and acted this drama after his death to regain the technology.
In short, this is another madman who hates Tony.
Remember the villain Vulture played by Michael Keaton in the last episode , also dissatisfied with Tony and Stark Industries' monopoly on alien technology.
15. Elements as puppets
In Marvel Comics, the Elementals are villains from the universe.
They are Zephyr, Hellfire, Haichang, and Magnum, which can materialize the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth .
They were originally god-like beings, and it stands to reason that they should be put together with Thor and Captain Marvel. As a small spider's opponent, it is a bit out of bounds.
So the movie just borrows the concept of elemental crowds and makes them become illusions/puppets made by Mysterio .
This way of using the original comic characters but changing their settings (mainly to weaken the combat power) is very similar to the treatment of the villain "Mandarin" in "Iron Man 3 " .
The man who was originally Iron Man's old enemy is actually a puppet actor invited by Dr. Killian in the movie. Dr. Killian is the big boss (such as Mysterio) hidden behind the scenes. The two movies are very similar, right?
16. "The Extraordinary Team" and "God of War"
During the Battle of Tower Bridge in London, the elemental illusions manipulated by Mysterio reappeared, but this time in the form of a monster composed of water and fire elements.
Some of the accompanying teachers in the tour group said that this kind of combination was like a " transcendent team ", and some said it was like " Vajra ".
"Super Squad" and "God of War" are relatively familiar animation works of the post-80s and 90s. They are also set with integrated mechas , and they are both groups of five.
17. Linkage "Iron Man"
Still admire Marvel's control of details. In the middle of the film, when Mysterio gets Iron Man's glasses and reveals his true colors, he introduces the partners who help him perform the whole scene one by one.
One of the thin-haired old men turned out to be Professor William who developed the iron armor for the villain Stan ten years ago in "Iron Man" .
18. People who "see through" the scam at a glance
Mr. Bell (JB Smoove), who accompanies the high school students , is a person who "sees through" the Mysterio scam from the very beginning.
When watching the news footage of Mysterio fighting the water monster with his classmates, he said something like "I believe in science, that's witchcraft ".
This sentence appears in the first third of the film, so it's easy to ignore this foreshadowing when you don't know the whole plot, but when you think about it, the word "witchcraft" is straight to the point .
19. Lightning is a huge Spider-Man fan
Little Spider has a classmate who has been bullying him on campus, that is , Flash Thompson.
In this episode, Lightning showed his adoration of Spider-Man in front of his classmates (he said "Mysterio is not as good as Spider-Man"), much to the surprise of Peter Parker.
In the original comics, Lightning, who had been the host of Venom, was indeed Spider-Man's fanboy.
20. Shadow Stealth Suit
In this episode, Spider-Man has as many as five suits, including the all-black Shadow Stealth suit that debuted .
This set of equipment appeared in the Battle of Prague and was specially prepared to hide Spider-Man's identity. It came from the SHIELD special forces , so it was somewhat similar to the US team's uniform.
21. Captain America
Well, finally speaking of the US team.
In addition to the ubiquitous Iron Man in this film, the most powerful member of the Avengers is Captain America .
The stalk about the US team's round shield appeared twice, the first time was the iron shield (medieval weapon) that Happy threw at the drone.
But Happy didn't throw it far, and he still said "how did the captain do it".
The second time was very interesting. The little spider picked up the broken wooden sign in his left hand as a shield, and the right hand picked up the holographic projector wrapped in spider silk.
This is completely the reproduction of the combination of the shield and hammer of the American team in "Avengers 4" !
Twenty-two, mirror reproduction
When the little spider fights with Myster, he is once caught in the illusion created by Myster, and this dazzling scene with extraordinary visual effects is the highlight of the whole film (comparable to "Doctor Strange").
Among them, the panicked little spider saw the terrifying remains of Iron Man crawling out of the cemetery in the illusion, and also saw countless himself in a broken mirror .
In the last episode, Spider-Man was crushed among the rocks when he fought the Vulture. In the reflection of a pool of water , he saw his scarred face .
At that moment he remembered Tony's father's words - "If you can't do anything without a suit, then you don't deserve it".
The appearance of mirror images generally means self-knowledge, inspiration/awakening or counterattack , so the multiple mirror images in this episode also mean that the little spider needs to clear the fog to see the truth and recognize himself.
23. Entering the Netherlands by mistake
A small detail that Chinese fans can easily spot.
The little spider's real name is Tom Holland, because Holland is homophonic to Holland, and Holland also refers to Holland, so he has such a nickname " Dutch brother ".
On this trip to Europe, the little spider really went to the Netherlands , but was taken to the Netherlands after being knocked unconscious by a train.
The Dutch brother even put on a larger-sized Dutch team uniform, and then he was treated favorably by the Dutch people and said, "The people here are so friendly."
24. Led Zeppelin
After the badly injured Spider-Man boarded Happy's plane, Happy unpacked the equipment for him to make a battle suit and played Led Zeppelin 's songs, and Spider-Man said that he also liked Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin is a British rock band in the 1970s. This band has a lot of fate with Marvel. The magical "Immigrant Song" in "Thor 3" came from their hands.
In addition, the little spider looked like Tony when he made the suit .
Happy, who was standing on the side, was a little emotional after seeing this scene (Jon Favreau played it well), and this moment was touching.
It is worth mentioning that Happy also said "You get the suit, I get the music", and the music he chose was AC/DC's "BackInBlack" (Jon Favreau also directed Iron Man 1 & 2).
25. William who stole the program
After Myster's defeat in the Great War of London, his remnant, the aforementioned Professor William, copied a document , which was probably Myster's holographic projection technology.
The flashing picture of this brother indicates that "Mysterio" may appear again.
26. Where's your backpack?
When the crisis in London was lifted and the students returned to the United States by plane after their thrilling trip to Europe, Aunt May, who was picking up the plane, asked after seeing the little spider, " Where's your backpack? "
Then she quickly added, "Oh yes, it blew up."
This stalk actually echoes "Spider-Man: Homecoming". In the last episode, when Aunt May didn't know Peter Parker was Spider-Man, she wondered about Parker's frequent loss of backpacks, and said, " This is the fifth one ."
Now Aunt May already knows Parker's identity, so of course the backpack was lost to save the world.
Twenty-seven, the official ending egg (1)
Entering the official end credits, let's look at the first one full of " maliciousness ".
The reason why it is said to be full of malice is because when the little spider was holding his girlfriend MJ in his arms and "swinging" between the buildings in New York (a series of classic scenes), the video that Mysterio secretly recorded before his death suddenly played on the big screen. .
The video not only smears the little spider with specially edited pictures and sounds, but also publicly exposes that Peter Parker is Spider-Man - true Internet violence!
In addition, a familiar face appears in the news footage later in the video, Jonah Jameson, the Daily Bugle boss played by J.K. Simmons in the old Spider-Man trilogy .
The above video was broadcast by the Daily Bugle, and Jameson's usual loud voice was reproduced again.
Twenty-eight, the official ending egg (2)
The second easter egg that appeared at the end was surprising, and to a certain extent constituted a second reversal of the entire story .
It turns out that the director who appeared in the film is not the real body, but is disguised by the Skrull (Talos) who is good at disguising who appeared in " Captain Marvel " .
So it's understandable why when the little spider asked (fake) Nick Fury why he didn't let Captain Marvel come, he said " don't mention her " - after all, he was beaten up by Captain Marvel.
And the real Nick Fury should not be on Earth, maybe in the trailer for " Captain Marvel 2 ".
28. In memory of Stan Lee and Steve Dietke
After reading the above two official easter eggs, do not miss the information in the subtitles.
The ending credits of the film pay tribute to/commemorate two comic book people - Stan Lee and Steve Ditke , yes, Stan Lee did not appear on the scene this time.
They were both the creators of Spider-Man and both died in 2018 .
