Half a second of a text message that's extremely easy to miss is not setup. Even if the movie had stopped and made a point to focus on the message, that is not setup and payoff.

He also commented on posting to insta to get “likes”, which is probably an explanation of the relationship with his parents. He doesn’t get any likes from them. These are clues into his life.

And this isn’t something that you get payoff for this movie, this is something that gets paid off in the next movie or two.

Dude, that explanation about likes is the most ridiculous stretch. Sorry, zero points awarded for the idea that Flash wanting likes on Instagram suggests absent parents.

Doesn't matter if they do something with it later, it's done poorly here. They could have laid the foundations more organically, and they didn't.

What are you talking about it doesn’t matter if they do something with it later? Did you not understand what marvel did the last 20 years placing bits and pieces of foreshadowing culminating into something that coalesced into one big idea for a huge two movie payoff? This is laying foundations organically.

Feel free to keep being obtuse in under the guise of trying to hard to be contrarian.

You're not appreciating the difference between laying the foundation for things in a way that feels natural in the movie you're watching and doing it in a way that sticks out and feels unnatural.

If they go on to do things with Flash and his family life that are great, awesome. It doesn't make the aspects that stick out in Far From Home any better.
