Marvel’s Spider-Man is full of unforgettable moments, something that has helped made Insomniac’s take on the wall-crawler a huge hit with fans. However, Marvel’s Spider-Man fans are questioning the logic of the game’s standout crane sequence, wondering what happens after Spidey has stopped the Inner Demons.

The crane in question is seen during the stellar helicopter chase that was shown off at E3 2017, with the moment proving to be particularly iconic. The mission sees Spidey chasing after some Inner Demons, and it boasts some memorable set pieces like a jump through a helicopter and Peter doing some parkour inside a collapsing building. While the sequence ends with Spidey heroically webbing up the helicopter and saving the day, it is not the only thing that he webs up in the scene.

Early on in the sequence, Marvel’s Spider-Man players complete a quick-time-event to web a collapsing crane to the side of a skyscraper. This is what Redditor Webhead1197 has questioned, as the webbing would likely dissolve in a few hours. This would not give a construction crew nearly enough time to remove the crane, and it would likely fall onto the civilians down below after enough time has passed. While this is obviously nitpicky and can easily be justified as video game logic, it has led to an interesting discussion.

While players have questioned moments in Marvel’s Spider-Man games before, and the 3,000 upvotes the post has received indicate that many see it as a plot hole, a few commenters have argued otherwise. Redditor ChampagneAbuelo, for example, points out that some of the backpack collectibles in Marvel’s Spider-Man have been around for years - with a few even dating back to Peter’s time as a high schooler. As such, the webs he used for the crane could have been permanent like the backback webs, giving Damage Control enough time to safely remove the crane in question.

Redditor ChrdeMcDnnis took this a step further, looking closely at the game to point out three different web types Peter Parker seemingly uses. Tension webs are used to swing around and tie up criminals of regular strength, liquid webbing keeps mouths shut and sticks weaponry to walls, and heavy-duty webbing is used for instances like the crashing crane. While this is purely based on the player’s “observation,” it is a good justification for the potential plot hole. Other players simply suggest evacuating the area below the webbed crane in case it eventually falls, though it is hard to tell how much damage it would do if it did crash into the ground.

When Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 arrives in 2023, perhaps Insomniac Games will provide more insight into how the hero’s webbing works. Until there is an explanation, fans will likely continue to overthink moments like this one.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is available now on PS4 and PS5.
