In a record-breaking Spider-Man video game, a scene from 'Marvel's Spider-Man 2' left gamers puzzled as it featured a mix-up between the Puerto Rican and Cuban flags in the family home of superhero Miles Morales.
Fans eagerly awaiting the release of 'Marvel's Spider-Man 2' have taken to social media, urging developers to rectify discrepancies in the game where the Puerto Rican and Cuban flags are confused. The game celebrates the Puerto Rican heritage of its main character, Miles Morales, a beloved Latino superhero. Insomniac Games launched the PlayStation 5 game last Friday, inadvertently mixing up the flags in at least two scenes.
Fans noticed and pointed out the issue over the weekend. The company is reportedly addressing the error, with no specified timeline for the correction as of Tuesday.
In a specific scene set within Morales' family home in Spanish Harlem, viewers noted on social media that the flag shown doesn't match his native Puerto Rican flag; instead, it resembles the Cuban flag.
This misrepresentation also occurs in a street scene later in the game.
Although the flags share a similar design, with a single star within a triangle and three colored stripes, along with two white stripes, the key distinction lies in their color arrangement. The Cuban flag features a red triangle and three blue stripes, while the Puerto Rican flag has a blue triangle and three red stripes.
