Out of all the things in the MCU and Marvel comics history, I'd be curious to know why the spider-bots were singled out as the potential big merchandise thing.
The same reason Galaxies Edge is depressing. They re trying to stick to a hyper real story as opposed to giving the fans what they want. I’d imagine it went something like this.
1.Avengers Campus is the best idea for this plot of land due to its location, size constraints and budget
2. Spider-Man is the most iconic Marvel character. We need to have one attraction based on him.
3. The Spider-Man attraction needs to make sense in Avengers Campus.
4. We ll set the Spider-Man ride in a warehouse/ factory/ lab where spider bots escape. (Not saying this is the only route they could have taken here but it’s how they ended up here I think).
The other possibility is between # 3 and #4 they actually designed the toy first and then adapted the story for the attraction after kind of like they do with some children’s cartoons. If that’s the case it’s kind of a head scratcher because these things aren’t cool, cute or charming and I can’t see how the attraction would change that but I could be wrong. It’s hard to imagine them having any sort of charm or personality or for the story/ attraction making them more desirable outside of just their mere presence.
