“Miles got that FIFA 23 haircut”: Fans react to Spider-Man 2's story trailer

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's new story trailer showcases exciting action sequences, explores the relationships between characters, and introduces the iconic Marvel Comics villain, Venom. While the gaming community is praising the captivating gameplay that was featured, there are some expressing concern about the appearance of certain characters. Fans' opinions seem to be split on social media platforms; most Reddit and YouTube users appreciated the trailer, while some on Instagram humorously pointed out the character's looks.

The fans on Instagram are predominantly focusing on Miles Morales' haircut. The game's story continues from where Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales left off, taking place approximately 9-10 months later. Therefore, the time span between the two isn't substantial enough to depict a significantly more mature version of Miles already.

While Peter's appearance remains unchanged from the remastered version of Spider-Man, Miles has undergone a new hairstyle treatment, which has raised concerns among fans. Some of them have even drawn comparisons between his new hairstyle and the Fifa-styled hairdo, with Instagram user @doel.nk commenting:

While the majority of comments on YouTube and Reddit are filled with positivity and discussions about gameplay aspects, Instagram users expressed an entirely different perspective about Miles' hairstyle. Some of these comments are:
