We’re getting ever closer to the arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and fans are almost trembling with anticipation. The original game was one of the best titles on the PS4 and helped continue the trend of great superhero titles, and by all indications, the sequel by Insomniac Games will be just as good. But someone needs to tell the people at Sony that how you advertise isn’t just important in the visual sense but in the word sense. Because yesterday, fans noticed that a tweet from PlayStation UK about the game’s collector’s edition had some wordplay they likely didn’t intend.
You can see the tweet below, and the phrase in question that got the internet talking was the “19 inches of Venom” that players “can treat themselves to.” Now, obviously, they’re referring to the 19-inch Venom figurine that they can get with this very special edition. The problem is that they don’t mention the statue at all, and thus, people’s minds went to…other places. We won’t spell it out, but if you look at the tweet’s comments, you’ll see exactly what people were thinking, and yes, it’s hilarious.

The irony is that some people wonder if PlayStation UK intentionally did that tweet to get people talking. If they did…it was certainly a bold choice on their part.
Focusing back on the game itself, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also got a set of new posters highlighting both Peter and Miles in some of the suits that they have. You can check it out below:
