The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse memes primarily draw inspiration from the 2018 film's homage to the classic 1960s 'Spider-Man Pointing at Spider-Man' image. In the movie's post-credits scene and various promotional shots, multiple versions of the web-slinger—including Miles Morales and Peter B. Parker—are shown pointing at each other in confusion. This template is the ultimate way to represent situations where multiple parties are essentially identical or when someone is forced to confront their own contradictory behaviors. It remains a staple of internet culture due to its versatility in describing everything from corporate branding clashes to personal identity crises within the multiverse.
