As easy as it is to poke fun at folks for not keeping up with which actor is playing which superhero in which rebooted franchise, the fact of the matter is, a lot people don’t pay that much attention to this stuff because they’ve got other things going on in their lives...like being on Jeopardy!

Also, it’s worth repeating that there have just been a lot of live-action Spider-Man adaptations, and if you’re only really keeping tabs on them using the corner of your pop culture peripheral vision, it’s easy for them all to blend together. We’ve been watching movies about Peter Parker for years, and they’ve pretty much all been a bunch of skinny white men playing teenagers with varying degrees of believability. There’s also a chance that none of these contestants watch cape films even though they’re ridiculously popular, and (I can’t stress this enough) that’s completely fine.

That all being said, if and when Miles Morales ends up being a Jeopardy answer, this kind of unpreparedness simply won’t be forgivable.
