The relatively rare "correct" use of the meme template!
Came here to also point that out.
Me too!
I'm not familiar with the meme template, but I would have expected it to be blurry without the glasses?
The original context of the scene that the image comes from is that he (Spiderman) originally needed glasses, but didn't after gaining his powers - so putting them on with his now-fixed eyesight actually causes the blur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj7CXKwPfdc
Because the intuitive understanding without the context is as you've described, memes using this template often reverse it so that putting on the glasses is the good/clear image and without the glasses is the bad/blurry image.
Makes sense, thanks mate.
if the template requires specific knowledge of the scene or movie context that is largely irrelevant to the joke then it's the wrong template.
I shouldn't have to read deep into the comments in order to get it.
Fwiw I also think using it the "wrong" way is perfectly defensible - I'm okay with things evolving beyond their original context!
