20 Easter Eggs From Spider-Man: No Way Home You May Have Missed
6. Which Peter...?
The' pointing Spider-Man' meme using a still from the 1960's Spider-Man cartoon episode 'Double Identity' is well-known, much like the 'I'm somewhat of a scientist myself' meme mentioned in another entry.
Without context, the meme is simply two identically dressed Spider-Men pointing at each other. With that in mind, the movie takes the glorious opportunity to replicate the meme 'for real.'
During the scene set in the lab, as the Spider-Men work on various cures for the enemies they face, Ned asks for 'Peter'. Predictably, this leads to a flurry of 'Me or him?' responses, accompanied by the same kind of pointing and gesturing as in the meme.
Although a variation of this was included in 'Into the Spider-Verse', seeing it reproduced with three legendary Spider-Man actors, in a context where the confusion makes sense, was a great moment of levity between serious scenes that carried quite a bit of emotion.
Sometimes the internet gives us really good things.
