ilovemcu3000:I really think this is why they kept Jake with his long(ish) hair and beard, wether marvel asked him to and he did, or he read this scene in the script and decided the parallels were needed to make Peters choice more reasonable. (The combo of the hair style/color and facial hair reminded Pete of Tony, he even says Tony’s #1 nickname for him after putting them on, “what do you think, Kid” It even works for Quinten in the story to do this, Notice, In the Barf flashback he is clean shavenCouple years of plotting (and not shaving) later, Boom! beard and a hairstyle Tony would TOTALLY doGives off IM1/IM2 vibesEx:he wants to manipulate the 16 year old, and what better way than to constantly remind him of his father figure who died just 8 months before? By looks (shown above) and by actions (calling him kid and “almost sacrificing himself” to win against molten man.) Quinten is one of the worst MCU villains in terms of how horrible what he wanted to do was. Since Thor: The Dark World, the MCU has had at least decent villains/anti heroes the rest are Great, (Tooms, Hela, And Ghost for example) or Phenomenal (Thanos, Loki, Zemo, Bucky, And now Quinten are in the phenomenal category) I even told my friend “Quinten Beck could go screw himself” after the movie. The utter GENIUS of his plan is what makes him a phenomenal villain•He takes years to perfect his tech and think of his plan (Mother F’er was probably waiting for Tony to die) then once the blip happens: showtime •The world is in a state of need when it comes to heroes, They just lost 3 of the greatest (Nat, Tony, And I guess Steve is dead from old age considering he was in the “I will always love you” montage) while others are busy working over time because of the affect the snap and blip had on the world (Thor, Captain Marvel, Dr. Strange, and the Captain America + Bucky duo) so he creates the perfect hero for the world right now: Mysterio • He meets Tony Stark’s legacy (Peter) And uses perfecting the Tony look to his advantage. Praises him : “I saw what you did with the towers, we could’ve used someone like on my world”, says that he’s a good kid like, 1,000 times, goes with the name peter said his friends/the public were calling him: “my name is Mysterio”, shows he understands him: “I’m sorry, am I boring you?” *peter stumbles his words* “he’s just thinking about how you kidnapped him”and asks him what he wants when no one seems to care about thatAnd I’d just like to point out how much this manipulation WORKS. For example:*Beck goes and talks to him, prying for him to spill his emotions*Peter, who sees someone who reminds him of Mr. Stark And Ben:He falls for it because A) he’s 16, on a summer vacation. Trying to get a break after 8 months worth of processing that 5 years went by in what felt like 5 hours, probably crying when not on patrol or at school, and dealing with the pressure of being Tony’s legacy, possibly the co-heir (along with Morgan and Harley) of Stark Industries after Pepper retiresB) his priority during this trip: Finally tell his crush he likes her and possibly get his first kiss in Paris, and having fun! What was NOT his priority: save the world from an avengers level threat basically alone, while trying to keep his friends from the crossfire of said threatQuinten threw him off guardC) he’s already constantly seeing graffiti of Tony everywhere, so to see someone who appears to peter as someone who looks and acts exactly like him makes him transfer the glasses over Quinten even outshines him on multiple occasions (Italy, Prague, AND London) which causes Talos Fury to lose hope in Peter and keep praising Quinten (are you gonna step up or not! *literally 5 seconds later*: Quinten! Come to Germany with us! You got the job! Which makes Peter not feel worthy of being Tony’s legacy when, and I can’t stress this enough, TONY CHOSE HIM! “For the next Tony Stark, I trust you” was Tony’s way of telling his surrogate son what h*ward lies talks about in the Iron Man 2 vid, except this time, it’s genuine “my greatest creation is you” -- source link
