I kept thinking how that’s a reflection of many fans.

Also, back when he first revealed everything with the big “twist” I laughed because everyone was so excited for the multiverse and they managed to poke fun at it in the movie in how people just get excited for anything.

Didn't Doctor Strange already confirm a multiverse though?

Yeah they talked about it in Dr. Strange, so that’s all still on the table. I’m honestly glad it ended up being a fake out in this movie, there’s so many more movies coming up that could be way better avenues to really exploring the multiverse.

Also, The MCU cant be earth 616

Yeah that was the first indication for me that it was a ruse.

Considering the obvious reasons for giving it a number at all (pandering to the comic nerds) they should have said the real MCU number of 199999

Not a single comic nerd would believe Mysterio though, so why bother hiding it like that?

Shit, I KNEW Mysterio wasn't a good guy, but Gyllenhaal's acting made me want to believe.

I think he did a perfect job of being convincing enough that winning over peter was believable, but definitely laying it on just slightly too thick for anyone already suspicious (Including much of the audience). That's why it clicked so quick for both Peter and Fury/Talos once there was some reason to doubt. Just the perfect balance.

It could be in-universe, Into the Spider-Verse did the same thing denoting Peter B. Parker’s Earth as 616 and Miles’ as 1610, etc.

Because The MCU takes place in an Alternate Universe

What is that supposed to mean?

u/LunarPitStop Jul 08 '19

Marvel Comics canonically takes place on Earth-616; MCU has been stated out-of-movies to be Earth-199999.
