For those that might veer away from the Internet when they can (fair), here’s the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man shot from the original cartoon that has inspired memes across the board:
The origin of the shot comes from 1967 in the episode “Double Identity.” In this episode a villain tried to impersonate the webbed hero, though of course those plans fell apart pretty quickly.
Fast-forward to when meme culture ruled all, and this shot has been used in countless paradises, roundabout arguments, and just general Internet shenanigans. But the important thing here is not only did Insomniac Games bring this iconic moment in Spidey history into this generation, but they also finally brought in the new Game + Mode that many have been begging for.
