“Canon events” are unavoidable, unchangeable events that lead humans to becoming the individuals they are today. The trend was inspired by ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’
Miles Morales in a scene from "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." The movie serves as inspiration for the latest TikTok trend.From getting bit by a radioactive spider to losing a parent, there are many events that unfold across all Spider-Man universes that lead the hero to becoming who he is. While Spidey doesn’t exist IRL, many on TikTok are sharing similar “canon events” — or unavoidable, unchangeable events — that lead humans to becoming the individuals they are today.
The trend was inspired by “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” a sequel to the Oscar-winning 2018 film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” In the sequel, Miles Morales, a teenage Spider-Man living in modern-day New York, runs into trouble when he attempts to disrupt the set-in-stone mythology that occurs across all universes of the Spider-Man comic books, known in the movie as “canon events.
“A canon event in someone’s life would be like something that you have to go through to become Spider-Man, in the context of Spider-Man,” said Karma Carr,. “When you have your canon event, it changes you. It’s like your inciting incident.” Canon event videos, which are set to music from the soundtrack for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” have received millions of views on TikTok.Each video declares that the creator “cannot interfere” with the canon event unfolding in front of them. In “Spider-Man,” disrupting a canon event could destroy the Spider-Verse,People love to feel seen and just, like, valid in their experience.
