Gamers are finally warming up to Peter Parker's controversial new face, even if it took some nudging from Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal who said that fans need to "get over" it. While they mostly have, a new challenger has entered the ring. And it ain't Bonesaw.
Peter's neck is the newest hot topic. Fans took to the subreddit to share a photo from the upcoming Spider-Man 2, simply titled, "Peter and MJ". But the comments were quickly flooded with people talking about his thick neck.

"Either his head is tiny or his neck is ginormous," Mrman_23 said.
"It's 1000 percent his neck," ssucrampylpmis replied.
"Bros got a tree trunk for a neck," bzawk said.
Of course, fans have their definitely-serious theories about why his neck is so wide. "His neck is thick because his head is on a swivel. Webhead has to keep an eye out for dudes named Paul," Jabronihunter420 said.
If you haven't been keeping up with the 616 comics, there was a new character introduced called Paul who adopted two kids with MJ, which sparked backlash because the comics have long refused to let Peter grow up and mature, desperately keeping him and MJ apart. Now, Paul is the face of that stagnation. Let's just hope he's not in Spider-Man 2.
Others say the thick neck is a result of his web-slinging, which is a little more believable. "When he's whipping himself around constantly at terminal velocity and doing all those fancy flips to dodge bullets and rockets, I wouldn't be surprised if his neck built up incredible muscles," fortifier22 said. Good luck Miles, that sturdy neck is a glimpse into your future.
