#--giving him terrible sleep that devolves into sleep deprived hallucinations would have been the far better option?

if you're going to put Mysterio into a story, please do more than "he gives Spider-Man visions" if that is the only thing you're gonna use him for to further the development of Spider-Man's character as a whole.

Why not? Cuz you can literally give Spider-Man visions through so many other means and it won't change the outcome you're wanting. You need to ask yourself: What purpose would Mysterio actually serve besides doing something that another character or situation could do exactly the same as you're wanting Mysterio to?

two examples right off the bat that could serve the exact same purpose in the exact same way:

Scorpion hallucinations from the toxins.

Sleep deprivation + nightmares

There is more you can do with Mysterio as a character and a whole lot more that could be explored with his character and how he could serve and affect the story as a whole, giving him more reason to actually exist within the narrative you're trying to tell. It would be beneficial in the long run to figure out WHY you want a specific character to appear and for what purpose and reasons they should appear and how they specifically over any other method to achieve the goal you need would affect the story and character would affect the story in a meaningful way.

Mysterio is a rich and complex character. If I knew more, I could probably maybe say similar for Scorpion, but if you want Spider-Man to experience visions to further his development with other characters or his overall character and such without fussing over yet another character now added to the mess, you would be better going for the option that doesn't involve another character to keep track of.

idk I just feel like Mysterio deserves more purpose and reason to be used as MORE than just an "object" or a "tool".

there's lots more you can explore with his character and it just feels like a shame to toss him in for little to no reason.

(not that I'll complain much in the end, I'm always happy to see him in general, but my point still stands, though.)
