Line 23:
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: A lot of people are quick to turn on Peter based on the doctored video that Mysterio sent J Jonah Jameson despite the dubiousness of the source. If this was supposed to be some kind of [[Take That]] at people who fall for fake news, it was awfully on the nose.
* [[Hope Spot]]: {{spoiler|The Green Goblin crashes his glider into Aunt May as she tries to help Peter fight him, but it seems at first that all she needs is to catch her breath. Unfortunately, things are worse than that, and she dies of her injuries.}}
* [[Immediate Sequel]]: Directly follows from [[The Stinger]] of ''Far From Home''.
* [[Internal Reveal]]: Peter sensibly tells Damage Control first thing that Fury can vouch for him, only to learn what the audience already has known since ''Far From Home'''s stinger that (the real) Fury has been in space the whole time.
* [[Last Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Peter and MJ share one before the final memory-wiping spell takes effect.}}
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The trailers made it seem that Wong warned Dr Strange not to go through with the memory-altering spell. In the actual film, he merely tells Dr Strange to leave him out of it.
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: Peter's attempt to save the villains instead of just letting Dr Strange send them back to their deaths causes him a lot of trouble.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: Zig-zagged to heartbreaking effect. {{spoiler|Peter tries and fails to deflect a Goblin bomb and it goes off almost in his face. Being a superhuman and wearing a protective suit, he's more or less fine. Aunt May initially seems fine too except for some shortness of breath, until it turns out that she was fatally injured internally after all, and she dies not realising the true extent of her injuries.}}
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Doctor Strange takes this role from Talos. {{spoiler|Except not really, because he and Peter end up clashing over the latter's determination to save the villains instead of just sending them back as is to die, and ends up getting [[Put on a Bus]] until much later. Aunt May ends up taking on the mentor role instead, at least until her death when it goes to the two alternate Spideys.}}
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]:
Line 54 ⟶ 56:
* [[Unperson]]: {{spoiler|With the artifact to contain the botched spell destroyed by the Green Goblin, the only way to close the rifts between universes before the multiversal invaders can come through is for the spell to be redone without any conditions, i.e. Peter will be completely forgotten even by those he had hoped to leave out of it.}}
* [[We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future]]: The significant plurality of people who believe Mysterio's lies don't seem to consider the possibility that the video might have been doctored to defame Spidey.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Dr Strange believes that the villains are fated to die. Peter's refusal to believe that drives their conflict.
