![]() It feels like it’s a nice, specific difference that makes it all feel more real in a way.” “I liked that the world would come up with a name for this weird thing they all experienced. “I like that it doesn’t follow, it’s not a clean one-to-one with the snapping of Thanos’s fingers,” McKenna said. “The Blip” not only accomplishes that, but McKenna says it also makes the universe feel more grounded. McKenna and Sommers said “The Blip” was a phrase even the Marvel guys had been calling it for some time, and in following up the events of “Endgame,” they were given the specific mandate to make “Far From Home” feel fun and lighthearted. ![]() “Far From Home” also opens with Peter’s high school classmates referring to the cataclysmic events of “Endgame” as “The Blip,” not “The Snap” as many fans had called it in the wake of “Infinity War.” The Peter Tingle isn’t the only thing renamed in the MCU history. It’s very authentic teen life.”Īlso Read: 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' - Where Was Nick Fury at the End of the Movie? “We liked Peter Tingle because it’s like your aunt calls it something, and that’s the last thing you want it called, so then, of course, she doubled down and that’s what she’s calling it, and she tells someone else, and that’s what they’re calling it. “We definitely had some scenes where Happy (Jon Favreau) was stumbling through different descriptions of trying to think of a thing to call it himself,” Sommers said. “Far From Home” gave the writers an opportunity to introduce a new phrase and do so organically. Though it’s been hinted that Spider-Man has the “Spidey Sense” in previous films - most notably in “Avengers: Infinity War” when the hair stands on his arm as he senses Thanos’s spaceship entering the atmosphere - it had never been named out loud. “And I assure you, we went around and around and tried all different kind of things.” “Well do we call it nothing? What do we call it? Do we go for something that’s more of a joke name?” Sommers posed. “We were always struggling to be a little more nuanced about it or a little sideways about this special power of his without being on the nose and calling it ‘Spider Sense,'” McKenna told TheWrap.Īlso Read: 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Has Biggest Tuesday Opening of All Time With $39.2 Million ![]() The writers of “Far From Home,” Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, along with Marvel knew the superpower would factor into the movie in a big way, but they “never wanted to explicitly call it ‘Spider Sense.'” And one of the film’s running jokes is that eventually the new term sticks. It’s a term Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) comes up with, not to mention one Peter (Tom Holland) is none too happy about. Marvel threw fans a curveball after a recent “Spider-Man: Far From Home” TV spot no longer referred to Peter Parker’s ability to sense impending danger as his “Spider Sense” - instead, calling it the “Peter Tingle.”
