Specifically, in Spider-Man 2's water gun mini-game, players notice that the seats at the mini-game booth are painted with a background of green with yellow stars and red with yellow stars. While there's no issue with the green seat that MJ sits on, the red seat, which Spider-Man Peter Parker occupies, matches the colors of the Vietnamese flag. This immediately sparks controversy within the Vietnamese gaming community.
The debate escalates as some question whether Sparx Studio, a Vietnamese subcontractor for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, was aware of this detail and if they were involved. Some gamers firmly believe that the flag color speculation is unfounded, as both green and red seats are present, and it's impossible to deduce from one chair. Others argue that it mirrors the layout of the national flag and warrants scrutiny from relevant authorities and its connection to Studio Sparx.
Recent times have seen a string of incidents related to Vietnam's national imagery. From the Barbie controversy to the debates surrounding the content of Southern Forest. Amidst this tense atmosphere, the presence of a chair adorned with a print resembling the Vietnamese national flag is clearly an untimely detail.
