Insightful Four-Year-Old Exposes Hilarious 'Plot Hole' in Marvel's Spider-Man

Highlights

A gamer's four-year-old noticed a plot hole in Marvel's Spider-Man game, questioning why a character didn't call for help when captured.

In the comments, users engage in humorous banter about the situation and delve into other logical concerns in the game, such as adversaries failing to notice or vocalize while being subdued.

To rectify these errors, it is suggested by enthusiasts that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 enhance its stealth mechanics by drawing inspiration from the Batman: Arkham series.

A four-year-old recently discovered a notable "plot hole" in Marvel's Spider-Man. The game, released in 2018, received three DLCs as post-launch content. Since then, Insomniac Games, the developer, has also released a remastered version of Marvel's Spider-Man for PS5 and PC, as well as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales as a PS5 launch title.

Story-driven games typically have some plot holes or unresolved issues, and the Spider-Man games are no exception. For instance, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has some peculiar plot holes where certain aspects are left unexplained by the game's story. Now, the observation of a four-year-old has highlighted another plot hole in Marvel's Spider-Man involving the illogical actions of one enemy.

A Reddit user, illforgetthisname-, shared a peculiar image from Marvel's Spider-Man depicting two villains suspended from a beam. In the image, one antagonist is completely entangled in webs, while the other's face is fully visible on the screen. This led the Reddit poster's four-year-old son to question why the second enemy did not call for help, potentially alerting other henchmen of Spider-Man's presence. This amusing occurrence is likely present in various video games, and altering the mechanics of takedowns to address this logical flaw might irritate players more than anything else.

In the comments section, numerous users make jokes about the situation, including one who humorously suggests that the enemy has fully embraced his impending fate. Some players also take the opportunity to discuss how Spider-Man avoids killing people, despite instances where users accidentally defy this principle while playing the game. Additionally, another gamer ponders why enemies in Marvel's Spider-Man fail to look up, as they would probably notice their comrades hanging from beams and walls.

Following that, there is a discussion regarding the stealth gameplay in Marvel's Spider-Man, which has raised concerns among some fans about the lack of enemy screams when they are pulled away. A number of gamers are urging for better stealth mechanics in the upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2, with one player suggesting that the development team should draw inspiration from the Batman: Arkham series.

Although Insomniac Games has not shown much of the stealth gameplay in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, it is likely that improvements will be made to the combat system as a whole. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 did have an extensive demo showcased at the PlayStation Showcase event in May, and it remains to be seen whether Sony will unveil any more uninterrupted gameplay footage prior to its release.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is now available on PS5 and PC.
