Is Marvel's Spiderman Woke?

[Rebecca]

So, I've heard how over the top and ridiculous Spiderman 2 is and its made me tentative about getting the first one. I've had it on my wishlist for a long time and I'm not sure if I can trust it. Is it woke?

Ultimately what I'd really want is it to be just like the 2004 Spiderman 2 game but I can maybe just about tolerate the fact its going to be more modern if its a good quality game. I just really don't want to be beaten over the head with political stuff, I just want a fun superhero game.

"Woke" isn't a word. It does not exist. Its some silly internet nonsense that you apparently have been following. It doesn't mean anything to "non-internet people."

Ha, ha. I don't know. I suppose its just drivel from people who post drivel online. It doesn't mean anything in particular.

You are woke

He's a superhero. Superheroes are usually portrayed as opposing oppression.

Woke? if it's good it's good forget the wokeness, none of it is real. Real wokeness in entertainment is when public schools in the states forced the distributors of Black Panther to provide free tickets. Seriously how much was a cinema ticket in the states for a family film? 7 or 8 bucks. Whatever, because it was a black superhero it was hijacked as a must see film like a field trip. Woke, wake up people it's a franchise it's a profit making machine all of it is.

If they made a video game about Christ he'd be black, Christ the redeemer and this time he's pissed.

I'm no spiderman 2 player, but from what I've heard the gameplay is great, and the story writing is lecturing and preachy. So it is like a good game, made worse for the sake of virtue signaling.

Yes, Spiderman is so-called "woke"...

Under Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, in Gwen Stacy's bedroom, there's a flag hanging above the door which you can see for approx 1 second and will have to pause really notice.

That is a LGBTQ flag with "Protect Trans Kids" written on it.

Gwen’s father, policeman George Stacy, also has a tiny transgender flag that he wears on his uniform, you could notice displayed for another split moment later on in the show.

In a sequence where she talks to her father about her secret identity, a moment where she’s afraid and anxious, the room she’s in melts away into pinks, blues, and whites.

This is a multi-verse on Earth-65, in which transgenders are still persecuted and discriminated against.

They never once mention it, but it's a back story to Gwen Stacy, who becomes "Spider-Woman" (rather than Spider-Man, from another multi-verse), get it?

WOKE!
(then again everything is woke and nothing is woke)

The correct way how to use this word would for example be:

“She woke up, got out of bed, and jumped in her swimming pool.”

If you use it another way, the general audience will not understand it.

They don't let us out much.

You can download a mod to remove a flag, but I didn't notice anything regarding PS4 version.

In fact, PS4 -> Remaster just for Peter's face, new one looks dumb.

The game is BAD. Mary Jane is butt ugly. They motion captured one of the people at the developer's studio who is also butt ugly. And Peter is a pathetic apologetic in the game. The dialogue is also cringe.

Regarding X-Men, Stan Lee has already stated in interviews that it is not about the gay movement so anyone still claiming that notion needs to slap it out of themselves yesterday.

What's a "Spiderman"?

Not Marvel's at all.
