#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Did Mysterio die at the end of Far From Home or was it an illusion?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

Based on the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home and the subsequent information provided in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the consensus within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that Quentin Beck (Mysterio) is dead, though the film leaves a small window of ambiguity for fans.

Here are the specific details regarding his death:

1. The Fatal Wound

During the final confrontation on the London Tower Bridge, Mysterio attempts to kill Spider-Man by ordering a drone to fire, even though Peter is standing right next to him. Peter uses his "Peter Tingle" (Spider-Sense) to navigate the illusions and dodge the attack. In the chaos, Beck is struck by a stray shot from one of his own drones.

2. The Final Trick

As Beck lies dying, he attempts one last illusion. He appears to be slumped on the ground, but he is actually standing nearby, preparing to shoot Peter with a handgun. Peter senses the real Beck and grabs his hand, stopping the shot. The Beck on the floor disappears, revealing it was a hologram. Beck then collapses, appearing to succumb to his previous drone-inflicted injuries.

3. EDITH’s Confirmation

The strongest piece of evidence for his death occurs when Peter asks the AI, EDITH: "Is he real?"
EDITH responds: "All illusions are down, Peter."
Since EDITH controls the drone network and the projector technology, this confirmation serves as the narrative’s way of telling the audience that the body on the ground is not a hologram.

4. The Post-Credits Framing

While Quentin Beck the man died, "Mysterio" the persona survived through his team. William Ginter Riva, the disgruntled former Stark employee who handled the tech for Beck, is seen downloading the drone data and fleeing. He managed to edit the footage of the London battle to frame Peter Parker and reveal his secret identity. This allows Mysterio to "win" from beyond the grave, turning him into a martyr.

5. Follow-up in No Way Home

In the sequel, the authorities and the news (J. Jonah Jameson) consistently refer to Mysterio as dead. There is no indication in the following film that he survived, and the legal troubles Peter faces are entirely predicated on the fact that he is being accused of murdering a "hero."

Conclusion:
While Mysterio is a master of deception and many fans speculate he could have faked his death using technology EDITH wasn't aware of, the movie presents his death as real. Quentin Beck died from drone fire, but his team ensured his legacy lived on to ruin Peter Parker's life.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] The narrative of both films treats Beck's death as a fact.

[2] Beck orders the drones to fire ('Just do it!'), Peter dodges, and Beck is hit by the friendly fire.

[3] This accurately describes the final twist of the battle.

[4] Peter actually asks: 'Is he... Is this real?'. The AI summary misquotes it slightly as 'Is he real?'.

[5] EDITH's response is quoted correctly.

[6] Riva is shown downloading the data to a USB drive.

[7] We see Riva pack up the drive and close the laptop. We do not see him physically run/flee, but his escape is the narrative implication.
