Fans Demand Insomniac to Bring Iconic Spider-Man Meme to Life
Spider-Man 2 fans are calling for Insomniac Games to bring to life a classic meme from one of the animated shows The scene has become an internet sensation and gamers are eager to see it recreated in the upcoming game
Fans are eagerly anticipating the potential recreation of an iconic meme within Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Recently, Insomniac Games unveiled the first gameplay footage of their upcoming superhero adventure, which features not only Peter Parker but also Miles Morales as playable characters within the same storyline. Additionally, the Venom symbiote takes center stage in this entry, prompting fans to hope for a recreation of the famous meme involving both the black suit and Shocker.
The source of this meme can be traced back to an episode of the 90s Spider-Man animated series, where Peter Parker inevitably interacts with the Venom symbiote, leading to his transformation into the iconic black suit. As the symbiote corrupts his personality and makes him more aggressive, a memorable scene ensues when Shocker accidentally bumps into him, prompting Spidey to give chase and yell threats. With many fans eager to see this scene recreated in the game, the anticipation continues to build.
A Twitter user by the name of MrFlippy616 pointed out an opportunity for the game to do something hilarious. Along with screenshots of Spider-Man in his black suit and Shocker, the user suggested that the scene could be the "funniest thing ever." This is due to Christopher Daniel Barnes, the voice actor for Spider-Man in the 90s cartoon, delivering an over-the-top performance while pursuing Shocker. Fans find this blend of unintentional humor and effective threat amusing. The chance for this opportunity has arisen as Spider-Man has gotten the Venom symbiote at some point, and Shocker is an active member of Peter's Rogue's gallery. Additionally, a boss battle in the first game features a chase sequence with Shocker, and the trailer for Kraven shows a mini-map with Shocker out and about. Fans hope that this sequence of events can be recreated with Yuri Lowenthal doing a similarly dark and gruff voice for when Peter's negatively affected by the symbiote, including the overly hammy voice acting.
In the gameplay trailer of Spider-Man 2, the Venom symbiote’s corruption is evident as Peter's demeanor shifts from a friendly neighborhood superhero to an aloof and pragmatic antihero. Fans have also observed subtle details in the trailer, such as his reluctance to save a civilian and his callous treatment of them once rescued. It remains to be seen how Peter's character development with the symbiote will unfold in the upcoming game. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to release this autumn exclusively on PlayStation 5.
