Not only is all of Mysterio’s “evidence” completely inadmissible, but even if the EDITH program doesn’t keep logs of users and orders, which seems unlikely, there should be TONS of *counter* evidence proving Quentin Beck was a grifter and the real villain. For one thing, Quentin Beck, if that’s even his real name, was a former Stark employee, so Happy should’ve been able to pull up his employee file and show the world Beck was a hologram technician fired for being unstable, not an interdimensional soldier. For another, Flash Thomson was able to livestream the entire London attack, so there should be ample security footage showing the drones emerging from Mysterio’s weather monster. Not to mention that someone would’ve had to recover Mysterio’s body, and would’ve found that he wasn’t wearing the futuristic supersuit he was shown wearing in his dying video, but rather a suit covered in AR patches and hologram projectors.

[@edennishan717]

That makes so much sense!! 💯

[@rogerdodger4212]

My theory is that the Department of Damage Control is as much a PR firm for the Avengers/SHIELD as a literal clean up crew. Their job is to protect the public from the aftermath of major events, including the release of damaging information. SHIELD relies on its clandestine nature to operate under the radar. What better way to cover up your involvement in a major event than to work directly with and through the DoDC? Who else sent Murdoch? Either Murdoch works for SHIELD or he was hired by Stark to be the on-call superhero lawyer for superheroes. Either way, the arrest, the fake charges and even Murdoch’s [lack of actual] lawyering was just a show to avoid having to release information they (SHIELD and the DoDC) have that would be damaging to SHIELD, the Avengers and Stark but would exonerate Peter. A less cynical take might be that they were attempting to protect Peter from the fallout of releasing that he turned over the EDITH glasses to Beck but I think the murder accusation is probably worse.

[@Tulin730]

I agree with much of this excerpt the government would never allow the information that they didn't properly vet Mysterio get out. The public would always believe he was from another universe even if they had to get a skrull to pretend to be this universe's beck. What I think is strange is Peter had many abilities including the use of drones, holograms,, and skrulls to "prove" he wasn't super-man. They can literally be in the same room or Spider-man could be anywhere in the world while Peter is in custody.

[@ariannamonson4092]

Absolutely! And it could also be seen as a callback to season 1 episode 3 of Daredevil where he has a speech addressing the jury built on that idea. It even ends with the line "beyond these walls, he may well face a judgment of his own making. But here, in this courtroom, the judgment is yours, and yours alone." (Of course, the main difference is that in that episode he was defending someone who was actually guilty but that's irrelevant.) It's a really good speech that just stuck with me. And an awesome episode that shows how he truly is a really good lawyer.

Yes, but you forgot the part where HYDRA was exposed as working within SHIELD a decade prior. Most people wouldn't trust anyone from SHIELD after something like that.

At worst, they were in cahoots with that wall-crawling menace. * not even Agent (Melinda) May can intimidate Mr. Jameson into airing a retraction.

The charges being dropped didn't seem particularly strange or improbable to me. As explained in this video, there was never any solid evidence.

Couldn’t they just do a quick background check on Quentin Beck and find out that he designed the hologram and drone technology for Stark industries?

The drones have a projection of mysterio in them so it would be incredibly easy to put two and two together that he fabricated the entire thing.

Don’t forget that Ned asks for a lawyer and they just continue to interrogate him. Also, aunt May asks to see his 17 year old entrusted nephew and they don’t let her.

Not to mention Agent Cleary threatened May with a child endangerment charge even though she was NEVER a risk to her nephew. He was trying to get a rise out of her. The interrogation took place in July. Peter's birthday is August 10th, he was still technically 16 during the interrogation. By the time he came back to school on the first day of his senior year, he was 17.

[@jonasquinn7977]

A few thoughts I had: 1) Even if you were to argue that Peter was breaking our vigilantism laws, which he may not have been, he pretty clearly wasn’t breaking the MCU’s vigilantism laws since they take that far less seriously and he is a recognised Avenger 2) If EDITH keeps a record of which user is logged in and give which orders that’s even more evidence to clear Peter 3) I don’t think that the DODC was acting as a part of some convoluted Stark cover up, especially because they do launch a major investigation into Stark Industries, it’s more likely in my opinion that with the rising number of superhero incidents and especially the signing of the Sokovia Accords there would need to be a government agency specifically for monitoring and regulating them and the DODC is the obvious choice for that because it’s already their area of expertise

[@charliemallonee2792]

I’m still bothered by how fast Jameson called Damage Control on Peter for... taking some weird guys into his home. I don’t even think he knew about the others; his tip was just that they were leaving May’s food drive in a truck. I guess he might want to investigate, but on what grounds could you possibly get Damage Control to arrive so soon with a full swat team? If they knew Octavious and Osborn were there, surely they’d swoop in and arrest them for their bridge destruction. But no, they just wait until the fight progresses and decide Peter is the threat. And for them to start opening fire on Peter as he lies there with his DYING aunt just doesn’t seem like an organization on his side.

[@BanjoKazooie56]

I'm telling you here and now, If I was in Peter's situation, I would hire MatPat as my lawyer!

[@zachtemoro2116]

Another thing to consider is that Spiderman is an Avenger, which also means he is susceptible to the Sokovia Accords. This means two things, 1) Aunt May is completely innocent and no charges can be filed against her considering that, as an Avenger, Peter’s actions are not controlled by May but rather the government, and 2) Peter himself is both protected and liable to the Sokovia Accords. Quinten Beck attacked London, and the Drones posed a serious threat to the safety and well being of the people there. Spiderman is there because Shield asked him to. Whether or not he wanted to save everyone there is now completely irrelevant as an organization/body of a government deployed him there. New York would not have the jurisdiction, or even the US government, can not charge him for completing the mission he was assigned to do (ie find the culprit behind the attacks and subdue him in any way, shape, or form) Edit (because y’all don’t understand): 1)Peter is an Avenger, plain and simple. Stark gave him his suit, he was there to fight Thanos and in the same movie, Tony says he’s an Avenger. 2) May is still innocent no matter what. Peter is not the average human and what could be “Harmful” to someone else, is not harmful to Peter. He can lift literal tons that would usually crush a person, and he has way more endurance. 3) “Peter is a minor and can’t legally sign contracts” would be true except Tony, Happy, and May are all guardians of Peter. “But they didn’t say that in the movie so they can’t be his legal guardians”! Says who? Both Happy and Tony look after him and make sure his well being is safe, Tony funds all of Peter’s tech, and he gave Peter Edith (ie entrusting him with Stark assets). Just because its off screen, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, especially with how much supervision and care he was provided with Stark and Happy

Even if Jameson saw something that HE thought was illegal, even with his brief jurisdiction as mayor in the comics he would have to take it to the cops first. Even when Spider-Man webs up cars, he doesn't want people getting hurt so he's not doing anything except his job to *PROTECT* the public. Jameson is jealous of Spider-Man because he's everything Jameson isn't and as noted in the comics, is a bit pissed for overshadowing his son and making him look like the bad guy, except he was. Superheroes alone had certain qualities he didn't, so he saw them as public menaces despite having no proof of it. The heroes were doing their jobs, but Jameson saw it as them "being above the law" even though they weren't. TL;DR: Jealousy and envy fuels him, nothing else.

Peter does what he can from home, investigating online, and having Ned and MJ go out on his behalf. He catches a lead and has a chance to stop whatever villain, but he can't leave. I guess people would say they already did this in Ant-Man, but I still feel this would be unique enough. Somehow he has to stop the villain without there ever being any proof he broke further laws. All this interspersed with actual court scenes in between various action bits.

[@jessicahogan7248]

Considering Pepper is the CEO of Stark Industries, I very easily believe that she orchestrated this coverup. Pepper signed the check Peter was holding in FFH so while they may not have a direct relationship (i.e via Happy) she may have wanted to keep S.

So it makes sense to make a big thing about raiding for the drones, Iron spider suit etc so she could clean up the company reputation and dissociate herself from Peter.

Outside of that, beyond being a blowhard, he was willing to risk his life on more then one occasion to protect his employees, particularly peter, and even saw peter parker like a son.

Aunt May in _this_ movie does not have a house. And it would also depend on when she got the house; it’s entirely possibly that the mortgage payments are cheaper than rent due to a lower purchase price.

[@nateh1135]

Well, in the original Maguire movies, the couple actually were extremely financially unstable; Ben was a 68 year old man who was unemployed and jobhunting after being laid off as a senior electrician after 35 years at an industrial plant; apparently, his pension wasn't enough for him to retire. Meanwhile, Aunt May was a housewife. Even though they owned a house, they were still paying a mortgage. I'm assuming they bought a house to raise Peter in after he was orphaned. On a senior electrician's salary in New York ($82,000), buying a house in Queens was definitely affordable back in 1992 (10 years before the movie) since prices on average were only $300,000 (inflation-adjusted) and the interest rates were relatively low (~3%) since the U.S. was trying to fight a recession. However, after Ben died, Aunt May struggled with keeping up with her mortgage payments. It is an entire subplot in Spider-Man 2, where Peter notices her foreclosure notice at his birthday party and argues with May over taking a $20 bill. It is also the reason they are at the bank when he fights with Doc Ock (they unfortunately did not get the toaster), and she ends up selling the house near the end of the movie where she gives the motivational speech. The original Spider-Man movies were never afraid to portray the Parkers as struggling working-class, salt-of-the-earth people. Meanwhile, the same financial instability is not really seen in the MCU version. The average apartment in Queens is around $3000 per month, and that large an apartment would definitely cost more. In fact, it is even possible that the Parkers from the Maguire movies were paying less in mortgage payments (around $2,000) and yet they still struggled. So, MatPat is completely right in saying Peter is actually pretty privileged in these movies.

Okay, but even if getting the charges dropped could’ve been as easy as NWH portrays it to be based on the evidence presented, you’d think Mysterio and/or his team would’ve worked harder at fortifying their case. Given all the work they put into pulling off their scheme in FFH, it doesn’t make sense that they’d stop at the video as far as manufacturing and tampering with evidence goes.

You are missing some things here. First, the video would drive the court to grant a warrant. They'd have found all the evidence that Peter is Spider-Man and he did have control of the drones. However, I agree that Matt would have had someone look at the recording to get it thrown out. Then any other evidence (Peter did fight Beck on the bridge so there is probably some stuff that could be used to tie him to Beck's death) could be dropped as circumstantial. My theory is that Matt pinned a bunch of stuff on Stark and Stark Industries. The Dept dropped their charges and changed the focus to Stark I, which could handle any investigation. The Department of Damage Control had changed their scope to dealing with/apprehending enhanced individuals. They are the guys who arrive at Happy's condo in NWH and start shooting Peter.

It was always fascinating to me that Peter never got charged for being inside the Damage Control storage facility in Homecoming

there was no one who saw him there, and he was wearing a suit that hid his fingerprints.

[@SwordlessNinja]

Im sure they had security footage of him and i always wondered that too, but it totally makes sense when you know that Damage Control was part created by Stark Industries

One theory I don't see anyone talking about, probably just so we don't have to deal with the consequences, is what happened when the other Peters went back. The spell made "Everyone forget who Peter Parker is" across the multiverse, that's why everyone stopped coming through. So, wouldn't that mean that when the other Peters go back no one should who they are either?

At the end of the theory matpat calls the department of damage control the D.O.D please note that the D.O.D stands for the department of defense a real federal department that oversees the military. The Department of damage control would be the D.O.D.C
