Spider-Man defeated in tragic Disneyland accident
The animatronic superhero froze while swinging above the Avengers Campus and fell to his doom
Spider-Man has been defeated. Having battled evil for decades, the well-known superhero was struck down—not by any of his many powerful enemies—but while performing a simple stunt meant to entertain those who had come to see him in all his animatrionic splendor at Disneyland California on the Avengers Campus late last week.
We present footage of the moment of his untimely demise below.
In a moment that must be watched repeatedly if we are ever to truly understand its gravity, we hear the animatronic Spider-Man announce “Here goes something!” before he goes swinging into view above Disneyland’s Avengers Campus. Spider-Man’s limbs lock up at the top of his arc through the sky, rendering him unable to safely descend. Heroic music swells in the background as he yells out “Airbags, please!” in vain. A moment later the webcrawler smashes back-first into the side of a building, crashing against a wall and disappearing from sight.
