Clever Edit Adds Marvel’s Spider-Man Detail To No Way Home’s Final Fight

gamerant.com:

Marvel’s Spider-Man fans have been quick to pay tribute to the latest MCU film, with the wall-crawler’s latest live action outing being hugely popular with longtime fans. One member of the Marvel’s Spider-Man community has continued this trend, adding an element of the game’s HUD to the film’s final battle.

This marks a change from previousMarvel’s Spider-Man homages, as fans are usually seen recreating moments from the films in-game as opposed to editing actual scenes from them. Previous tributes to No Way Home have seen players recreating the sequence where the three Spider-Man swing together via photo mode, with others using mods to capture the moment where the characters converse about their histories as superheroes. The clip from Redditor WolverineKuzuri93 being so different is what makes it special, though.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Fan Spots Easily Missable Detail During Taskmaster Challenges

The brief, six-second video shows a segment from Spider-Man’s final battle with Green Goblin, and many fans will undoubtedly remember the move. After beating the cruel villain, Peter uses his webs to pull his head down into his knee before flipping over Osborn’s head and slamming him into the ground. The maneuver looks brutal, with Goblin’s neck crumbling as it hits the floor, though it is not the first time that fans have seen the friendly neighborhood hero pull off this kind of attack.

One of the many finishing moves in Marvel’s Spider-Man is very similar to this flip and slam, and for this reason, many fans likely thought of the game during this climactic fight. For this reason, the Redditor adds the triangle and circle buttons above Green Goblin’s head, with the addition making the connection even more clear than it was before.
