What was the coded message that Happy Hogan sent to Nick Fury? - Cheerful young woman screaming into megaphone

During the final fight, Happy Hogan calls Nick Fury to warn him about Mysterio's real plan. Happy says a something about going through Tony's old stuff. And Nick Fury replies with "Never call this number again".

Later when they meet up, Happy says "Did you get my coded message?" and that it translates to 'Looks can be deceiving'.

What was the coded message and how does it decode? Was it like a pre-setup distress code or was it a simple 'first letter of a word acronym' kinda code?



Best Answer

It's not exactly a code...more of a hint.

It just meant that "not everything is as it appears"....

The implication is that Fury should be alerted to the fact that what is happening may be a deception (which Fury seems to be somewhat aware of anyway) but that by going back an investigating Tony's history more information might be obtained.

As we know, Beck and his cohorts all have previous history with Tony and/or Stark Enterprises which would be uncovered by some background checks.

Answer 2

According to TV Tropes the coded message was something about the surfboard that everyone thought belonged to Fury. This has two references: one meta, one in universe.

Happy Hogan makes a sort-of-coded call to Nick Fury, making up a story about a surfboard that everyone thought belonged to Fury. Clearly they watched Snakes on a Plane to the very end.

It's actually a coded message to Talos, who is currently portraying Fury. Talos's first appearance on Earth was as a surfer, so this was confirmation that Mysterio was not on the up and up."

Answer 3

It could be 1 of 2 things or both. Originally I was 100% sure it was about Mysterio and telling him to be careful, but it's not basically what it seems.

But after the ending credits, who knows. Seeing that, it's impossible to know who's who. The only convincing factor to prove Happy was legit was because he said something only Peter and him would know when Peter asked him.

Happy could have been letting him know he's aware it's not really him.
