This year, perhaps more than any other, is make or break for the MCU. Once such an unstoppable pop culture colossus that even Martin Scorsese had a take on them, superhero movies have spent the last half-decade wobbling dangerously. The recent commercial disappointment of DC’s Supergirl is a sign that the public is still fatigued from all the endless variations on a theme, and it is into this minefield that Marvel plans to release two huge movies in the coming months, in the form of Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Will these films succeed where previous MCU films have suffered? Perhaps not now that science has revealed that Spider-Man is a lie. A new press release from Glasgow’s Kelvinside Academy has revealed precisely what would happen if Spider-Man was a real person who actually existed, and it isn’t pretty.
