The White House just turned Spider-Man into an ICE agent, and Marvel fans are not having it.
The White House has a habit of using movies, music, and even fictional characters to push its agenda, often without permission or regard for the original intent.
The Spider-Man post is just the latest example of how the administration’s attempts to ride the coattails of cultural moments can go horribly wrong.
Fans are calling out the White House for what they see as a blatant misuse of Spider-Man’s image.
But if history is any indication, this won’t be the last time the White House tries to use pop culture to score political points.
