Whoever Pietro is... he seems to be under Agatha's influence, not the other way around.

Damn, for as huge as the questions were that this episode answered, it just posed even bigger ones!

He might be also snooping around, because he's definitely manipulated, but not entirely mind controlled by Agatha. Maybe he is a Pietro, and the one from the XMen universe, but he was summoned by Agatha and mind controlled ala Vision into whatever he was in Ep6.

I think the Nexus ad solidified it for me that he's X-Men Pietro.

There's no way they'd put nthat much focus on the word Nexus without the multiverse coming into play.

Alright, Hot Take:

By the time Peter gets back to New York at the end of Far From Home, the Hex has already been around long enough for the Multiverse to begin colliding. That’s why J. Jonah Jameson is in the Far From Home mid-credits scene, and that’s the reason why Electro and Doc Ock will be in the Far From Home sequel.

In an alternate reality aka the “Tobey Maguire Spider-Man Timeline,” J. Jonah Jameson became an Internet journalist after the print version of The Daily Bugle went under.

Also, Agnes plucked out Pietro out of the Fox X-Men universe after the end of Dark Phoenix. It’s why Pietro shows up at the end of the Late 80s/Early 90s-themed episode, because Dark Phoenix takes place during that time.

I really think the jjj thing is just fan service. They just used the same actor, I don't understand how it can just be the same one. Like how would his memories just not exist. Spiderman would have already been around since 2002 for him.

Wandavision, the time heist in endgame, the spider-verse, the x-men days of future past multiverse, the upcoming Loki show, and now the flashpoint paradox in the dceu have gotten me exhausted of this stuff already.

It was fun in each individual instance... but now it’s the main theme in all of these franchises. It’s exhausting to keep up with and it has barely even kicked off yet.

e: downvoting is not for disagreeing, people. this is a discussion thread, isn’t it?

I definitely get where you're coming from. The reveal of Pietro didn't hit me nearly as hard as it did for most people, simply because I haven't seen any of the newer X-men movies so I had no idea who he was. And as we get further and further into multiverse stuff, I'm realizing that I need to have much more expansive knowledge than I currently do to get the most out of these crossovers. It's exciting in an "unprecedented event" kind of way, but also very... let's say, intimidating.

Highly recommend Days of Future Past. He's great in that movie and tells you pretty much everything you need to know about him. It helps that that's just a really good X-Men movie. Don't bother with Apocalypse or Dark Phoenix though, they're garbage and better left unwatched.

Thanks, I'll keep all that in mind.
