Ehh, I don't think it makes him look like a chump. The whole point of the Skrulls is that they're really good at disguise. And it's not like Mysterio knew Nick Fury personally.

Now, if it was established that Quentin knew Nick for like 20 years beforehand and didn't notice the change, then yeah, I'd agree that makes him look kind of dumb. But if you've never met someone and only really know them by reputation at best, you'll probably be fooled.

It's not that Mysterio should have known about the Skrulls or whatever. I just wish that entire thing had been left out.

It means that:

• Nick Fury was never actually in any danger at all
• Mysterio wasn't cleverly manipulating Fury for his own ends the entire movie after all
• A lot of Mysterio's plan had no chance of ever working in the long run b/c it wasn't really Fury in the first place
• Prior to the scene, Spider-Man was the hero who stopped Mysterio's nefarious plot. After that scene, it means Spidey's involvement was basically just being duped into giving Mysterio the murder drones and then undoing that mistake by getting them back.

Just really retroactively takes the wind out of the sails of the entire movie. All to set up some larger universe crap I don't care about.
