The Spider-Man Peter Parker meme, also known as 'Peter Parker's Glasses,' is a popular two-panel format taken from the 2002 film Spider-Man. The scene features Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker discovering that his vision has been corrected after being bitten by a radioactive spider; he sees clearly without his glasses and finds his vision blurry with them on. Ironically, internet users typically use the template in reverse, where putting on the glasses reveals the 'truth' or a hidden reality behind a subject. Since its emergence in the mid-2010s, it has become a go-to format for comparing expectations versus reality or exposing the true nature of a brand or person.
