Why is it "a man dressed as spider man" and not just "Spider-Man"?

[–] X@piefed.world 70 points 3 days ago (1 children)

lol even the photographer refers to him as Spidey

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And we all know, there’s no reason a news photographer would like us to think someone else is spidey…

Especially one who can take getting pepper sprayed and needs financial support.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago

Idk, the original photograapher wrote it as Spider-Man actually

Because Spider-Man would be taking the picture himself.

Spider-Dude would wear a sweater and sandals over his suit
We need Spider-Dude

That's my dude

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did anyone see who took this photograph when it was happening? I have a theory…

[–] zuckey78@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to say that I got your comment. It was a slow burner…

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This is the Avengers movie we need right now:

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What's the first one from?

Would love to be able to provide a source when using it to taunt fascist Marvel fans 😁

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Spider Noir I believe, but I don't have sourcing for it unfortunately.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

After a bit of searching, it's from Spider-Man Noir (2025) #2.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 2 days ago

But it's disney now anf they don't want to have opinions that vould lose them fans

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 56 points 3 days ago

Truly the best picture of Spider-Man!

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

he's a superhero in my book.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We truly do need more superheroes in this world. We love Spidey!

The worst part of growing up isn't that you realize that comic book heroes aren't real.

It's realizing that villains are real and in charge of everything.

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

That's some accidental renaissance type shit.

Why are the police protecting the fascists? Oh right.....

"Some of those that join forces are the same that burn crosses."

[–] tquid@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 days ago

Well, in a rare bit of good news, the cops did arrest the fascists, and impounded their two cars. Not disagreeing with you, just a note of hope in this shitshow

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And you do what they told you.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago

They force out any good ones, acab

[–] nao@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

what is wrong with the comments on that video

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

~~Spiderman~~ Spider-Man Fighting Fascism ( wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross ) [2026]

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No wonder people keep confusing him and Deadpool.

[–] Alexfire@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Thanks Spidy, defeat the bad guys and defend liberty and justice for all!


The prejudice was,

Always there behind the flag,

Now they’re glad to show

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Spider-man has the right cross

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Jake wants to be Kirk so bad.

Biiiiiiig Ooooooooof

[–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Some National Guardgamel type shit going on in the back of that truck.

Better hide them smurfs

Guy in a military uniform that I assume to be national guard (could be wrong), ducking away and pulling a nasty grimace stank face that reminds me of Gargamel from the smurfs

[–] ChanchoManco@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What is that guy doing supporting a white supremacist?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cosplaying. That pattern hasn't been used for nearly 7 years, the collar is up, double flag patch... Basically a stolen valor video waiting to happen.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's a veteran, AFAIK. Not that there's any "valor" to steal.

[–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Pretty sure even if he was a veteran, wearing his uniform in this situation is strictly prohibited
