Spider-Man 2 fans spot wrong flag in Miles Morales apartment

Miles Morales either has a Cuban secret lover that he feels a strong sense of national pride towards, or developers are behind the development. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2The recent match was a big mistake.

Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Insomniac Games released a new game. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2PlayStation 5 is coming Friday. The story this time follows Miles Morales and Peter Parker as they return to New York City. By and large, it’s shaping up to be a stunning Spider-Man game that plays with the Marvel canon and showcases the capabilities of the PS5. However, fans noticed an issue with Miles’ apartment over the weekend: His wall was decorated with the Cuban flag, and not the Puerto Rican one representative of Miles’ heritage. Below is a Reddit post that documents the issue.

It’s looking like the flag was added mistakenly, because James Stevenson, director of community and marketing at Insomniac Games replied to a tweet saying the the team would fix the issue “soon.” So it’s likely an upcoming patch will change the flag to the Puerto Rican one.

Both flags are similar and share the same design, but with different colors. Cuban has blue and red stripes on a left-side triangle. Puerto Rican flag has blue triangles with red stripes. Although I am a Cuban American, I used to practice the differences as a kid and I still look them up sometimes just to be sure.

Still, as seemingly minor as it is, it’s important to get these details right. Cuba and Puerto Rico both have their own cultural differences and different people. To mistake one flag for the other is disrespectful and untrue to Miles’ overall character. Miles Morales was born in Brooklyn to a Black dad and a Puerto Rican mother. He’s a proud Boricua and still speaks Spanish in the household with his mother. It is through his apartment that the developers teach him about our culture and himself.

It’s clear that at least some of the team knows the difference between the two, because Miles has a Boricua costume in this game that depicts the Puerto Rican flag correctly. It’s just a letdown this particular mistake snuck into the final version of the game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2PlayStation 5 is now available.
