Summary
AMarvel’s Spider-Man 2player is asking the developers to add a funny Flash Thompson podcast where he talks about Spider-Man like in the comics.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has been a massive hit for Insomniac Games, with the web-slinging sequel having sold over 2.5 million copies on launch day. It has become the fastest-selling PlayStation game ever, surpassing Sony’s other first-party games likeThe Last of Us Part 2andGod of War Ragnarok.
Spider-Man 2features a large pool of characters, but Flash Thompson is not among them. In the comics and movies, he is renowned as an arrogant character who frequently bullies Peter Parker. The portrayal of Flash Thompson in the MCU has long been debated, with some fans claiminghe could be a perfect host for Eddie Brock’s Venom symbiote.
AMarvel’s Spider-Man 2player suggested the developers include a Flash Thompson podcast where he talks about Spider-Man and tells old stories from high school. Flash having a podcast would be a clever idea to add one of the recurring characters in the comics to the game, where he is mentioned briefly. Reddit user Knowledgefirework first came up with this suggestion, with some fans claiming that they would like to learn what Flash Thompson thinks aboutMarvel’s Spider-Man 2characters that are being set up between missions. He can occasionally contact other podcasters, share updates on recent events, and tell how he frequently bullied Peter Parker in high school.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2brings back podcasts from the original game, allowing players to hear what other people think about Spider-Man’s actions. As players swing through the streets of New York, they will get updates regarding recent events, which makes the game even more immersive. However, once they miss the Dankiest and the JJJ podcast, there is no way to replay them becauseMarvel’s Spider-Man 2doesn’t include the archive feature. If players are disturbed by a lot of fuss, they can turn off podcasts from the Audio Options menu.
Alongside the inability to replay podcasts,Spider-Man 2is missing character bios and the social feed features from the original game. Character bios allow players to read up on allvillains they encounter inMarvel’s Spider-Man, including Harry Osborn, Vulture, and Shocker. The social feed, on the other hand, shows New Yorkers' reactions to other characters than Peter Parker. This is where players can post anything and interact with people they protect from bandits. It remains to be seen if Insomniac Games will add these quality-of-life features in the future.
