Interesting how they're setting up Flash Thompson's progression...he has money but no close family ties, seemingly detached parental units, even if they got the cash...are they gonna make him venom? what other direction can they go with this? it's not random that they're shwoing this.


Also, was Fury chilling the entire time, or was he actually there for a stretch? Can't imagine someone else would have given Peter those glasses.
