PSA: Letting a highly venomous spider climb up your arm will not make you Spider-Man
Watch Next

Critics are loving Spider-Man: Homecoming for many reasons, one of which is the highly praised decision to avoid Spidey's tired origin story. You know, the same one we've been subjected to in two prior reboots released since 2002.

In that spirit, we'd like to remind you of the following: letting a big, venomous spider climb up your arm will not make you Spider-Man. In other words, do not be like the man in this video, who lets the extremely poisonous Brazilian Wandering Spider scuttle around his wrist like a cartoon monster.

Maybe just go see Spider-Man: Homecoming instead?
