In the recently releasedMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker is unable to perform the ‘Wakanda Forever’ salute.

When Peter does the same, there’s no such prompt.

This was spotted and shared on TikTok bySpectreXGaming(thanksKotaku), with a side-by-side of both characters.

So why can Miles perform the salute and Peter can’t?

It’s likely a matter of sensitivity around the gesture’s intended use as a mark of respect.
