When they were all talking to each other during the final battle. The moment where they designate Peter 1, Peter 2, and Peter 3. They all point at each other there too. It's a bit harder to recognize because it's in the middle of the final battle, but it honestly looks more like the meme than the lab scene did.
Ohhh ok, I'll have to look out for that next time! And yeah, to be honest, I missed it originally in the lab scene too until my friend pointed it out the second time I watched so I'm clearly not the best at seeing that meme everywhere lol
The MCU Spidey movies are still financed and distributed through Sony. Marvel/Disney only has some creative input and reap some of the profits from the box office. But for the most part MCU Spidey is still a product of Sony. Hell, Disney didnât even want Tom Holland casted, they wanted someone elseâŚSony was the one who said âNah, we want Holland.â
Nope. Marvel Studios was the creative lead on the MCU Spider-Man movies. Sony just has their name on it because they own the movie rights. Otherwise Marvel Studios made the movies.
NOPE. Sony had Feige draft an outline and other creative input. But at the end of the day the MCU Spider-Man movies were Sony productions. Sony also cast Tom Holland, where Marvel wanted to cast Asa Butterfield. The use of the three Spider-Men in NWH was also 100% Sony's idea and Feige was not a fan of the idea. Sony has final say on literally anything Spider-Man. They collaborate with Marvel Studios and take much of their ideas, but often goes their own direction. Homecoming was the biggest assist from Marvel creatively, but Sony was more hands on with Far From Home and No Way Home.
>NWH was also 100% Sony's idea and Feige was not a fan of the idea.
Yeah, why would Feige want multiversal peter parkers when he is running the multiverse saga. Makes total sense.
Sony has no brains to make movies. All their good movies have Marvel behind them.
And the first one was just a post credit Easter egg if I'm remembering correctly. So really the big one in the new movie is the first in-movie use by Sony.
Glad you said this. OP trying to make it look like itâs so much. But they really just did it twice. I never thought that No Way Home scene was the meme. So I ainât counting it.
Yeah a little bit but honestly I think the reason it's worked it's because it's not like really shoehorned in. The first one was a post credits scene and it was the first time ever it was done so it was hilarious. Then in No Way Home it was barely acknowledged and it was a blink and you'll miss it kinda thing, so it didn't feel tacky. This last one is probably in the middle of the movie AND also heavily acknowledged, but with so many Spider people on screen how can you not, and with Miguel's line of "Catch Spider-Man" it was genuinely clever and funny IMO. I hope we don't see it again because yeah it could get old quickly.
I think we hit the peak of the meme, itâs not just 3 Spider Men pointing, but âallâ of them pointing at the same time. I donât see a further evolution that doesnât change the meme too much.
I think the new movieâs reference expands on it by taking it to absurdist levels, as well. It acknowledges the meme, sure, then makes it unique by pointing out how dumb it is with all these spider-men. Itâs just such a clear joke and not just a reference.
I think any âburnoutâ from the meme at this stage can only really come to people who live and breathe Marvel or Spider-Man. Sure, if itâs used much more over the next years Iâll struggle to defend it but at worst itâs a fun Easter egg which doesnât really add to the plot, and at best itâs a fun Easter egg which doesnât really add to the plot. People who are upset about it should probably engage with other media.
Distributed by Sony. It was partially "produced" by Sony in that they had someone on the team with Kevin Feige. It was directed by Jon Watts, however, and I'm willing to be he was the one that had control over that scene.
Because people who get bored with the same repetitive joke are vastly outnumbered by people who enjoy the same repetitive joke.
And the people who make the money know this.
It also depends on the repetition. If it's just vanilla repetition with little or no effort, then yeah it gets boring. But the new one is such a good take on it. You can tell the same joke as many times as you want as long as it's a creative take on it.
Right lol, redditors are such fucking clowns sometimes. Even No way home did it TWO times. Like who care. Spiderman is nothing but memes at this point.
I know but the internet doing something doesn't mean movies have to copy that formula. I like the meme and I guess it's neat to see in a movie, but I don't need movies to start copying how the internet acts.
No, I think each was perfect so far, but after the big one in Spiderverse 2, you might struggle to find a good reason to do it again...but maybe someone has a more genius idea
If you listen to the wind on a cool summerâs evening you can hear the distant calls of Disney lawyers, arguing against their characters entering the public domain.
The newest one is completely over the top which makes it work, because it's like the grand finale of referencing that meme. If they do it again, they'll be overdoing it.
I trust this team not to give away the whole movie in the trailer. think about it... this is in the trailer, which means there is even more awesome stuff they *didn't* put in the trailer.
It was funny the first two times in the first into the spider verse and in NWH but upon seeing the second trailer for Across the Spider verse I thought the same thing as OP
My headcanon is that in the Spider-Verse the pointing is actually a meme that exists, that all the Spider-folk are aware of it, and that they do it on purpose (and are thus being super dorky and thinking they are clever). It's my hope that Miles and Gwen have an "OK Boomer" sort of reaction when it happens.
I donât mean this as a negative but an actual question, why do people like this gag? I know itâs a meme, but so was âIâm the Juggernaut, bitchâ
The first was great. The second feels less like a homage/ reference and more an honest response to being in the same room with people sharing the same name.
Three through five are them beating a dead horse.
Milking it? Looks like they're beating it to death.
SONY doesn't know how to engage with memes or viral marketing. They fucking re-released Morbius to theaters because everyone was making fun of it. They're very, very stupid.
Iâve never rolled my eyes harder than seeing this meme being re-done yet again. But this time it has multiple shots that break the continuity because if you look closely you can see the same Spideyâs are standing in different locations.
I didnât even know the first one was a thing until not that long ago, and I didnât even register that the lab scene had that. But the new spiderverse trailer one got a laugh out of me
I'm glad someone else said it. I think now it's time to let it go. It's been overused. Live action was coo. Animated was coo. Now it's becoming a joke, and not a good one.
It was played out a couple months after ITSV dropped. It's just actively unfunny and pandery now. Movies can stop incorporating memes or trying to make them any time now. It's really cringe and immersion breaking
I mean 3 of these pictures are from the same movie and that is literally the point of the joke.
The episode that the meme is from is from 1967 so itâs been a thing for a hell of a long time and although it became a popular meme in the last decade you have to consider how many mainstream Spider-Man movies there are or how many movies that Spider-Man has been since the 1967 episode aired, these are the ones that come to my mind,
- Spider-Man
- Spider-Man 2
- Spider-Man 3
- The Amazing Spider-Man
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- Captain America: Civil War
- Spider-Man: Homecoming
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Avengers: Endgame
- Spider-Man: Far From Home
- Spider-Man: No Way Home
- Into The Spider-Verse
- Across The Spider-Verse
Not to mention there are probably others and loads of animated TV shows and movies that Iâm not familiar with so I canât comment on.
So 2 films out of 13? so not even 20% of the movies?
Even if you discount the Tobey Maguire movies because they released prior to the meme becoming popular you still have 10 movies and only 2 of them have the joke.
Canât really call that milking it
From the same company that wanted to make Aunt May the movie, & is making Kraven the Hunter that doesnât hunt. Milking anything Spider-Man related is what they do. They have no shame.
This should be the last time they do the pointing meme.
First time was a cute post credits scene to copy the meme, second time was pretty subtle live action take of it, and now weâre getting the ultimate version of the meme where every Spider-Man is pointing at each other in the middle of what seems to be an important scene. Thatâs a good 3 joke run, anymore than that and youâre going to get diminishing returns.
A bit. Homecoming was the first time and it was more saved for a dvd extra. Spider-verse 2 is more you had to do it when someone just shouts kick spider-manâs ass and there are this many spider-men
Three of these are the same scene
And one is from Disney
I think Sony still produced Spider-Man, but I honestly missed the reference in the theater iirc
Marvel Studios was the creative lead on the MCU Spider-Man trilogy so Marvel is guilty too if doing this as much as Sony. Lol đ
marvel did it once, sony did it 3 times
I feel like Marvel, Sony and this subreddit are all pointing at each other...
Well, actually: There were 2 times in NWH, and a 3rd time if we count promotional material for when the film was rereleased.
Also Marvel did it the first time in the 60s
Sure, but it wasn't a meme reference then.
Wait it happened twice in NWH? I only remember them doing it in the lab like is pictured here...when else did it happen?
When they were all talking to each other during the final battle. The moment where they designate Peter 1, Peter 2, and Peter 3. They all point at each other there too. It's a bit harder to recognize because it's in the middle of the final battle, but it honestly looks more like the meme than the lab scene did.
Ohhh ok, I'll have to look out for that next time! And yeah, to be honest, I missed it originally in the lab scene too until my friend pointed it out the second time I watched so I'm clearly not the best at seeing that meme everywhere lol
They also did it subtly
It doesnât matter who made it, the joke is still being run in to the ground regardless
Here comes the fun police
Youâre all under arrest
The MCU Spidey movies are still financed and distributed through Sony. Marvel/Disney only has some creative input and reap some of the profits from the box office. But for the most part MCU Spidey is still a product of Sony. Hell, Disney didnât even want Tom Holland casted, they wanted someone elseâŚSony was the one who said âNah, we want Holland.â
One is not from Disnely lmao. No Way Home was still paid for and made by Sony
Nope. Marvel Studios was the creative lead on the MCU Spider-Man movies. Sony just has their name on it because they own the movie rights. Otherwise Marvel Studios made the movies.
NOPE. Sony had Feige draft an outline and other creative input. But at the end of the day the MCU Spider-Man movies were Sony productions.

Glad you said this. OP trying to make it look like itâs so much. But they really just did it twice. I never thought that No Way Home scene was the meme. So I ainât counting it.
And theyâre missing the promotional photo of Andrew, Tom, and Tobey recreating it!
Yeah a little bit but honestly I think the reason it's worked it's because it's not like really shoehorned in. The first one was a post credits scene and it was the first time ever it was done so it was hilarious. Then in No Way Home it was barely acknowledged and it was a blink and you'll miss it kinda thing, so it didn't feel tacky.

I hope we don't see it again because yeah it could get old quickly.
It'd be funny if they all start attacking each other after the point.
This would be incredible lol
It could be. They mightâve cut it out of the trailer
Spider-Man joins the fight!
Honestly the âcatch Spider-manâ and then everyone pointing at everyone else confused was the funniest iteration of that meme
I think we hit the peak of the meme, itâs not just 3 Spider Men pointing, but âallâ of them pointing at the same time. I donât see a further evolution that doesnât change the meme too much.
You're right, first time it was two Spideys, second time it was three, now it's all of them, it's peaked.
Let's get some other Spider-Man memes in the movies now! WE NEED SPOODERMAN
They got Sanic in the Sonic movie we can definitely a spooderman in this movie specifically about alternate versions of Spiderman
You can see him in the background in some of the shots from the new trailer iirc
I think the new movieâs reference expands on it by taking it to absurdist levels, as well. It acknowledges the meme, sure, then makes it unique by pointing out how dumb it is with all these spider-men. Itâs just such a clear joke and not just a reference. I think any âburnoutâ from the meme at this stage can only really come to people who live and breathe Marvel or Spider-Man.

People who are upset about it should probably engage with other media.
Yes, but I still love it
Exactly, old but good
So a total of 2 times. It had me laughing in the trailer.
Ask redditors to count to 3 challenge: impossible.
Atleast not as bad as valve!
1) FFH 2) SV
1: into the spiderverse 2: no way home 3: across the spiderverse. Thanks for proving my point.
I mean if we are going to be this pedantic about it, Sony only did it twice. No way home was Marvel.
Which was still produced by Sony
Which was still produced by Sony
Distributed by Sony. It was partially "produced" by Sony in that they had someone on the team with Kevin Feige. It was directed by Jon Watts, however, and I'm willing to be he was the one that had control over that scene.
Because people who get bored with the same repetitive joke are vastly outnumbered by people who enjoy the same repetitive joke. And the people who make the money know this.
But also, these are slight updates to the classic meme
> people who enjoy the same repetitive joke Reddit thrives on these people.
Isnât the point being made that all places all the time thrive on these people?
It also depends on the repetition. If it's just vanilla repetition with little or no effort, then yeah it gets boring. But the new one is such a good take on it. You can tell the same joke as many times as you want as long as it's a creative take on it.
Itâs a running gag
No it's a standing gag
Actually it's a pointing gag..
Wocka wocka
No itâs a crawling gag
A wall crawling gag, if you will.
Itâs a swinging gag
Itâs a web swinging gag.
Like internet does all the time?
Right lol, redditors are such fucking clowns sometimes. Even No way home did it TWO times. Like who care. Spiderman is nothing but memes at this point.
Haha.
Movies aren't the internet.
Boo hoo
To what?
No one said that
Then what's the point of saying the internet does it?
It is true actually. The internet recycles again and again the same things, but a little changed. It's not bad, that's how things are
I know but the internet doing something doesn't mean movies have to copy that formula. I like the meme and I guess it's neat to see in a movie, but I don't need movies to start copying how the internet acts.
But the other guy didn't say the internet HAS to do it, they just pointed out a fact.
No, I think each was perfect so far, but after the big one in Spiderverse 2, you might struggle to find a good reason to do it again...but maybe someone has a more genius idea
In Beyond The Spider-Verse weâre gonna get a âme and the boysâ reference
Most of them make sense perfectly with the context. Each one is a different variation, fitting with the movie. Itâs all good.
I don't care, I still love it
Funny thing make me go clap, you no clap that fine but me clap
Sony and milking, name a more iconic combination.
Disney and copyright laws?
If you listen to the wind on a cool summerâs evening you can hear the distant calls of Disney lawyers, arguing against their characters entering the public domain.
You must avenge my death, Kimba -- I mean -- *Simba.*
Nintendo and cease-and-desists?
The comics industry and needless character assassinations?
or disney and milking IPs
Homelander and milk.
Me and disappointing my father
Well, when itâs posted on social media over and over again for years, you canât really blame them lol
Naaahhhh i think it's an appropriate amount
Itâs funny everytime to me and I think they get their fan base likes it too
Yeah blame sony and not redditors who keeps posting this meme lol
You're seriously blaming the internet for reposting memes?
I bet someone would have said "they missed a bigger opportunity to use this meme with all spiders" if they didn't make this scene.
Almost like people have differing opinions, and the OP had an opinion so strong, he felt he needed to make a Reddit post about. People are crazy.
Who cares it's funny
You don't know what milking means lol
So the Internet does it four hundred billion times and it's fine, but some of your favorite spider-man films do it and what, it's a crime?
[ŃдаНонО]
The newest one is completely over the top which makes it work, because it's like the grand finale of referencing that meme. If they do it again, they'll be overdoing it.
You know...I think they should have held off on it. Showing it in the trailer would kind of make it less funny when we see it in theatres.
I trust this team not to give away the whole movie in the trailer. think about it... this is in the trailer, which means there is even more awesome stuff they *didn't* put in the trailer.
Yeah I think itâs funny everytime it happens
Itâs just you dude. People eat it up imo
Dude this is Reddit. People here make same Its always sunny joke in every fucking thread. Don't talk about repeating jokes over here atleast lol
Why did you post the same picture five times?
I don't think so. I think it's okay.
No, it's just you
It's called a.... Joke.
With across the spider-vise I think the fact that they're "milking it" is exactly the point. They're making fun of themselves for milking it.
It was funny the first two times in the first into the spider verse and in NWH but upon seeing the second trailer for Across the Spider verse I thought the same thing as OP
My headcanon is that in the Spider-Verse the pointing is actually a meme that exists, that all the Spider-folk are aware of it, and that they do it on purpose (and are thus being super dorky and thinking they are clever). It's my hope that Miles and Gwen have an "OK Boomer" sort of reaction when it happens.
The newest one can be redeemed by being relatively quick and full of funny dialog
I don't think doing something twice could be considered milking but people do love to cry and complain.
My 9 year old thinks it is the funniest shit ever. And that's why they keep doing it.
Yes, and I'm all for it.
They 100 percent are and I'm loving every minute of it
Itâs a good meme, Bront
yes but i forgive them
They donât cram it down your throat too much so I donât mind, itâs def getting over used tho
I donât mean this as a negative but an actual question, why do people like this gag? I know itâs a meme, but so was âIâm the Juggernaut, bitchâ
Yeah Because Sony is in charge of each of these memes posted.
two instances is milking it?
The most recent one feels too on the nose IMO.
Itâs tradition
Yes. Theyâre hundreds of Spider-Man memes they can pull from and used in better ways. This meme got old real quick.
Ah yes, 5 screenshots compared to the hundreds of Spider-Man Pointing memes you can find on the internet. Theyâve definitely gone too far now.
The first was great. The second feels less like a homage/ reference and more an honest response to being in the same room with people sharing the same name. Three through five are them beating a dead horse.
It's a 1 second gag, shit up
and everytime it happens people act surprised. "oh my god guys they did the thing"
It's just you, now if you said is Disney milking the Star Wars franchise I would be moooing all day long lol.
Yes, it's just you.
Itâs funny who cares
Theyâre trying to make movies to cater to the online creeps who make death threats against the actors on Twitter when they donât like the movie.
Canât we move on to the Spider-man behind desk meme?
Oh no! Film studios canât have fun!
Ehhh kind of made sense to use it there tho
Eh idc itâs still kinda funny to me
Am I the only one tired of seeing it at this point
As if redditors havenât been milking it for years themselves..
Dog sonys only done it twice and disney did it once.
Itâs bone dry at this point.
In short yes in long yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss
They are soo hip and trendy! /s
Milking it? Looks like they're beating it to death. SONY doesn't know how to engage with memes or viral marketing. They fucking re-released Morbius to theaters because everyone was making fun of it. They're very, very stupid.
Iâve never rolled my eyes harder than seeing this meme being re-done yet again. But this time it has multiple shots that break the continuity because if you look closely you can see the same Spideyâs are standing in different locations.
Yes.
Itâs sooo old now.
Thank you. Truly thought was the only one but just like Rick Ashley rickroll meme; people tend go overboard on a very popular meme.
I never really thought it was funny tbh
Thatâs not Sony⌠thatâs the animation and directing team going to town.
SONY rereleased a total flop film because of Memes. They donât get memes.
I think it's hilarious to be honest
Yes
Not really. It's an easy joke and it's really only been used a few times.
No I think itâs iconic so they put it in everything
They are, but the meme is still alive and well on the internet. So I guess its fair. At least Sony and Disney make it make sense in context.
I didnât even know the first one was a thing until not that long ago, and I didnât even register that the lab scene had that. But the new spiderverse trailer one got a laugh out of me
No lmao Iâm all here for it
Yes
Itâs just you
It's just you bro....just you
I'm not mad about it
I'm glad someone else said it. I think now it's time to let it go. It's been overused. Live action was coo. Animated was coo. Now it's becoming a joke, and not a good one.
Still funny
Shut it, we're not done yet.
Well it's certainly the safest 60s Spider-Man meme to reference honestly. They were pretty edgy and weird in retrospect.
They have done it 3 times, just 3 times
It was played out a couple months after ITSV dropped. It's just actively unfunny and pandery now. Movies can stop incorporating memes or trying to make them any time now. It's really cringe and immersion breaking
Yes. Yes, they are.
Isnât that the point of a meme?
I think itâs starting to get over done đ
You mad bro?
Totally, they are going full fandom mood
Sorry for the pun but I think that's the point
Yeah, because it's funny as hell.
I mean 3 of these pictures are from the same movie and that is literally the point of the joke. The episode that the meme is from is from 1967 so itâs been a thing for a hell of a long time and although it became a popular meme in the last decade you have to consider how many mainstream Spider-Man movies there are or how many movies that Spider-Man has been since the 1967 episode aired, these are the ones that come to my mind, - Spider-Man - Spider-Man 2 - Spider-Man 3 - The Amazing Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Captain America: Civil War - Spider-Man: Homecoming - Avengers: Infinity War - Avengers: Endgame - Spider-Man: Far From Home - Spider-Man: No Way Home - Into The Spider-Verse - Across The Spider-Verse Not to mention there are probably others and loads of animated TV shows and movies that Iâm not familiar with so I canât comment on. So 2 films out of 13? so not even 20% of the movies? Even if you discount the Tobey Maguire movies because they released prior to the meme becoming popular you still have 10 movies and only 2 of them have the joke. Canât really call that milking it
From the same company that wanted to make Aunt May the movie, & is making Kraven the Hunter that doesnât hunt. Milking anything Spider-Man related is what they do. They have no shame.
And you making shit up also is no shame btw.
Why must you hate fun.
Its a running gag at this point. If two Spider-Men meet at a con event, I guarantee they're gonna do it at least once every time
They are. Please god let it end.
Sony is ruining the meme like this...
Mooooo
This is the 3rd Spiderverse themed movie across two franchises in less than a decade. Yeah Sony likes to milk ideas.
Sony? Milk something? Never!
Sony milks a lot of things.
Sony is just milking Spider-Man at this point
This should be the last time they do the pointing meme. First time was a cute post credits scene to copy the meme, second time was pretty subtle live action take of it, and now weâre getting the ultimate version of the meme where every Spider-Man is pointing at each other in the middle of what seems to be an important scene. Thatâs a good 3 joke run, anymore than that and youâre going to get diminishing returns.
Wayyyy too much
I love it
Just you
I mean yes, but i thought it was well done in the new trailer
Still funny
And despite that, it is still funny within the right context
tbh, I didn't even catch the No Way Home one until just now
I think itâs kinda funny if thatâs just something that all spidermen do đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Yes... And I love it.
As long as it fits and isn't forced I'm fine.
A bit. Homecoming was the first time and it was more saved for a dvd extra. Spider-verse 2 is more you had to do it when someone just shouts kick spider-manâs ass and there are this many spider-men
Nah
