See The Disturbing Scientifically Accurate Spider-Man
Spider-Man showing his true self? We sure hope not. When we watch superheroes light up the big screen, or comic book characters come to life, one of the appeals is that it seems like we could almost become these folks. Maybe if struck by lightning, doused with chemicals, or bitten by a radioactive spider, what these heroes become isn’t too far off from what humans look like now. Again, that’s part of the appeal.
But what if we got a look at what Spider-Man would actually look like if the dude was scientifically correct? Let me tell you something, it’s nothing like the Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland versions of the character. Those guys are easy on the eyes. Anatomically correct Spider-Man? No chance.
And that’s where the beauty of the internet comes into play. Here we get a chance to see what the Spider-Man hero would look like if Stan Lee and company had decided to make sure the science lineup. It’s in the form of this “Scientifically Accurate Spider-Man” clip from the ADHD YouTube page. It is going to toot your Daily Bugle. Check it out.
The video is basically a rendition of the Spider-Man theme song where the lyrics tell an increasingly disturbing story about what the behavior and physical attributes of a real half-man, half-spider would be. We hope you caught the ass-blasted web of hilarity.
Not the classiest Spider-Man video you’ve ever seen, am I right? As troubling as this subject matter may be for some, let’s all take a moment to consider that it’s probably more scientific than anything kids are learning in elementary schools these days. (It isn’t.) And it’s completely vomit-free. (It isn’t.)
Chances are, you’ll be singing that little Spider-Man ditty up until ADHD makes its debut on Saturday, July 27, 2013. Considering it’s the project of former Adult Swim development head Nick Weidenfield, it’s safe to say we can expect amazing things sandwiched in between uncomfortably awful things. Just like date night with your significant other.
Again, the appeal of comic book superheroes is no matter what they end up becoming, it’s at least easy enough on the eyes. It has to be in order to draw in big audiences. Sure, there have been deviations like Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool when the suit is taken off. Or maybe Hulk before he became the Mark Ruffalo’d version. But in general, we don’t get this kind of Spider-Man character for a very good reason.
