Thanks to the big success of Spider-Man PS4, its follow-up had immense anticipation surrounding its release the moment it was announced. Spider-Man: Miles Morales kept the excitement around its debut high up until the date of its release and its praise has only increased.
With great reviews come a great number of memes, and the fanbase certainly hasn’t disappointed. These have ranged from funny pictures that hyped up Miles Morales’ release to the ones that make fun of the attitude of the fanbase and the Marvel characters related to Spider-Man, all as a way to celebrate the game’s debut on PlayStation platforms.
10 Miles On Top
It wasn’t altogether expected for Spider-Man: Miles Morales to receive the positive reception it did. At the time of its announcement, the game was all over the internet as fans eagerly anticipated the release of the title.
Had Miles himself known how massively popular he’d become, chances are he would have reacted the way the meme implies. After all, it’s not every day that a spin-off fetches so much attention, even more so when the main character isn’t the identity that fans usually associate with Spider-Man.
9 That's It For The Xbox
Fans usually like to argue over which Spider-Man villains were comic book accurate, but there won’t be any arguments over the use of Green Goblin for this meme. That’s because it takes down the PS5’s rival in the Xbox by using Miles Morales as the main weapon.
In the lead-up to the ninth generation consoles’ release, the Xbox brand was repeatedly touted as having certain advantages over the PS5. However, just the announcement of Miles Morales was good enough to shatter all those factors due to the game’s hype.
8 Peter Always Gets The Good Stuff
There’s something of a rivalry going on within the Spider-Man fanbase itself, with Spider-Man PS4 and Miles Morales even compared against one another. This stems from the fact that Peter Parker continues to trump Miles Morales in the amount of media concerning the Spider-Man character, with Peter in line for more releases.
Those who thought that Spider-Man: Miles Morales was good enough to warrant Miles’ role as the leading Spider-Man ended up being proven wrong. The person behind this meme figures that Miles fans have become as desperate as Eddie Brock was in Spider-Man 3 to get their preferred protagonist as the face of Spider-Man.
7 Pizza Time Is More Important
Due to the smaller budgets for Spider-Man titles that surround Miles Morales, the stories this character gets are always lower in scale. That doesn’t mean the poor boy doesn’t require help, though, but Peter doesn’t seem to be in any hurry.
His love for pizza is a widely known fact in the fanbase, and the guy is too busy having pizza time to jump into action and save his protege. It’s a good thing Miles walked out alive or he would’ve lost his life all thanks to Peter’s taste for pizza.
6 That's A Better Option
There’s no doubt that Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an absolutely essential spin-off fans need to play, but it’s also an even better option compared to certain main games as well. This is most true when compared to the Avengers game, which hasn’t been well received.
There might not be a better way to illustrate this notion than through this meme, which claims that even Avengers fans are too busy checking out Miles Morales to actually pay attention to the game they're supposed to be playing.
5 Let's Complain About What Matters
Spider-Man: Miles Morales introduced the redesigned Peter Parker that has been much maligned among fans. To this end, there have been more complaints about the character’s appearance than praise over the game having one of the better Spider-Man stories to be adapted.
Maybe a split down the middle is needed, in that fans should complain about something that is unanimously disliked. This would be none other than the unneeded suits the game offers that have no substance to them and are only available for fan service.
4 Peter And Miles Living The Meme
The 1960s TV series about Spider-Man has aged well only where memes are concerned, with the one involving two Spideys being the most popular of all. This remains fresh in fans’ minds, who were quick to point out the similarity in Miles Morales.
This came up when Peter pointed toward Miles, which has the same effect as the Spideys in the meme. Even though Peter was being friendly when he made the gesture, there’s no denying the connection to the original meme does stand.
3 Miles Is The Better Teacher
The good thing about Spider-Man: Miles Morales is how it sticks close to the aesthetic quality, be it the video game’s soundtrack or how it sticks close to Miles’ Spanish roots. Some fans figured they would take Miles’ background to their advantage.
With Miles set to showcase his ability to speak in Spanish, these players thought they didn’t need to learn the language by other means. With that in mind, they simply relied on the game to teach them Spanish and forget about the rest.
2 Learning The Ropes Isn't Easy
Being a superhero isn’t all fun, not when one needs to memorize the entire map of New York City. While this aspect isn’t explored on-screen, this meme takes a look at what it must have been like for Peter to teach Miles about navigating in the city.
The end result is as lame as one would imagine, with Miles asking in a rather lame way for Peter to point out where the Chrysler building is. It’s a pretty hilarious take on this idea since it’s very much possible that this actually is how Miles learned the map.
1 Miles Steals Luke's Thunder
It’s not easy being another superhero when fans constantly praise the final fights Spider-Man is involved in and the way he keeps people safe. This is especially true in the case of Luke Cage, seeing as people tend to forget he’s also a dedicated Harlem superhero.
Instead, Miles gets all the glory and it’s his name that fans remember the most. What’s more, this practice has become so common that many only credit Miles and leave Luke Cage out entirely. It would be interesting to know how Luke truly feels about that.
