The Pedro Pascal fandom has conquered the Spider-Verse to the bafflement of some web-slinger fans.
Some fans were surprised by a post from the official Spider-Verse account that sent birthday wishes to The Last of Us star, acknowledging his status as internet daddy and featuring an artwork of him clad in a Spider-Man costume.
Some loved the concept. One fan playfully christened Pascal as Spider-Daddy.
Others expressed a strong desire to see him in a Marvel movie.
Some fans felt pity for Pascal, suggesting his standing as internet daddy was a form of sexual objectification.
Yet another fan remembered Pascal’s delight at his internet fandom and his amiable embrace of his daddy status.
When the internet confers ‘Daddy’ status upon an actor, it does so in the spirit of fun and celebration. Two of the most popular internet daddies, Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac, enjoy the joke and have consented to fans using the term. Recently, in the internet Daddy wars, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta has found himself in the running for Pascal’s crown. However, his position on his status as aqua papi is unclear.
The Spider-Verse account also posts similar drawings of celebrities wearing a Spider-Man get-up under the hashtag #Spidersona. Here is one of basketball great Steph Curry.
Music legend Beyoncé also received the #Spidersona treatment.
The account also featured Son Heung-Min in the #Spidersona hashtag.
Fear not, Spidey fans, Pedro Pascal hasn’t taken over the Spidey Verse. The internet’s daddy of all daddies was merely receiving a bit of birthday love. As far as we know, there’s no draft for a script of Spider-Man in mid-life in the works… yet.
