Spider-Man has swung back onto screens, but this time, it’s not a new movie or a big-budget live-action reboot—it’s an animated series. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man just dropped its first two episodes on Disney+, and while you’d think fans would be excited, the internet has responded with something completely different: confusion.
Instead of hyped-up reactions, social media is full of people questioning whether this show even existed before. “Bro, this was always a show?” one user joked, echoing the collective disbelief of fans everywhere. Others are either roasting the series, calling it “trash,” or wondering if anyone is actually watching.
'The Neighborhood Spider-Man’ that had the internet scratching its head
When Discussing Film posted about the series' release on X (formerly Twitter), it seemed like a standard announcement. But the post quickly went viral—not because people were raving about the show, but because no one even realized it was happening.
The general response? “Wait… what is this?” Some fans were genuinely puzzled, while others were straight-up skeptical. Did they miss a major marketing campaign? Was this some secret Spider-Man project no one asked for? The confusion only fueled the engagement, and before long, the post was swarming with reactions.
Let’s be real when it comes to Spider-Man, the internet is never quiet. But this time, instead of heated debates over who the best live-action Peter Parker is, the discussion was mostly disbelief and sarcasm.
One user simply asked, “Who’s actually gonna watch this? 💀” which, judging by the reactions, is a question a lot of people share.
Another commented, “Lol 😂 let’s help the man out!”—suggesting Spidey might need some support on this one.
Then there’s the brutally honest take: “And they’re trash.” A bit harsh? Maybe. But hey, the internet doesn’t hold back.
Of course, no modern discussion is complete without someone calling something “woke.” Enter the classic “It’s too woke, no thank u 🤢” reaction. At this point, it’s almost tradition for any new release to get this comment, regardless of actual content.
And then there’s the line that sums up the entire internet reaction perfectly: “Bro, this was always a show? 😂” This one hit home because, honestly, it feels like Disney+ just dropped this out of nowhere.
Between the confusion, jokes, and straight-up roasting, the real question remains will people give Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man a shot? It might not have had the grandest entrance, but hey, stranger things have blown up before.
Trending
Sometimes, all it takes is a wave of internet memes to turn a low-profile release into something bigger. Remember how Morbius became a meme-fueled phenomenon? Granted, that didn’t exactly work out well for Sony, but still if enough people ironically stream this show, who knows? Maybe it’ll find an audience after all.
For now, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is mostly an internet punchline. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that the internet loves to hate-watch things. So don’t be surprised if, a few weeks from now, the same people clowning on it are suddenly debating whether it’s actually kinda good.
Your perspective matters!
