Following the character's triumphant comeback in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," an increasing number of Spider-Man fanatics have rallied behind having Andrew Garfield return for a potential third installment to his incomplete set of Spidey movies. Despite the interest, nothing official from Sony has come to fruition. So it's no surprise that this Spider-Man tease-turned-rickroll left fans in a frenzy. Many commenters were not only displeased by the tease, but expressed being hurt by the unfulfilled promise. User @Sheluvsconnorr was one of these viewers, commenting, "This hurt more than I can express can't believe you Sony." Others were able to express what the pain felt like, such as the video's top comment by @tanktgm82 which reads, "This hurt more than my parents divorce," and @MJ Moonwalker4L who states, "This hurt more than my 3 year relationship break up."
Sony, which pulled the plug on "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies following the lackluster critical and commercial performance of the second film, may have underestimated just how passionate fans were for the series. Some couldn't hold back their tears, such as @lucas who condemned the company by saying, "I'M CRYING SONY...WHY DID YOU DO THAT." The betrayal was such a let down for @Alania that the user proclaimed, "Only watching Warner bro movies now."
It may have been posted as light-hearted fun, but you never know what could come from these reactions. If dream superhero projects such as "Zack Snyder's Justice League" became a reality thanks to strong fan support, the future of "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies might also once again swing high if fans continue to demand it.
