The Spooder Wars

**The Spooder Wars**, also called **The Chronicles of The Epic Spooder Man Wars** by Shad that one time, are a dramatization of the events of The Spider Wars, chronicled by The Fellowship of the Meme member GrythPhoenixSaurusRex. They include several events that did not occur in the historical Spider Wars and therefore may not be canon, though the death of Shadiversity was confirmed to be canon by Shad himself.

The Spooder Wars makes use of clips from various live-action and animated Spider-Man movies, video-games, and television shows, as well as other Marvel properties such as *Avengers: Endgame*, to tell its story, overlaying the faces of EFAP members onto the characters to whom they are analogous in the story. Clips from other pieces of media, such as *Star Trek*, are used when needed. Actual sound bites from EFAP allies and antagonists, namely the same clip of MauLer saying the word "fuck" midsentence, are mixed with text-to-speech to craft the needed dialogue, in keeping with The Spooder Wars' blending of fiction and reality. The different chapters are punctuated by the title cards and narration from Mr Plinketts' *Star* *Wars* reviews. There are usually "To be continued" cards at the end and "Previously" segments at the beginning.

## Historical Precedent

The historical Spider Wars took place across EFAPs 43, 44, and 45, and involved various EFAP regulars debating the quality of the films *Spider-Man: Homecoming* and *Spider-Man: Far From Home*. Many arguments were made, many disagreements were had, but at the end of the day it was all in the name of healthy discussion. Notably, Shadiversity did not actually die in any of these EFAPs.

Fellowship of the Meme member GryphPhoenixSaurusRex uploaded "Spoder Wars An EFAP Meme" on July 15, 2019, which used clips from Sam Raimi's *Spider-Man* and *Spider-Man: The Animated Series* to portray the Spooder-Man, the physical manifestation of the irrational rage of all hardcore Spider-Man fans, attacking MauLer for saying *Spider-Man: Homecoming* is good. Its sequel, "Spooder Wars 2 EfapBoogooloo," portrayed Shad coming to MauLer's defense, allowing MauLer to kill Spooder-Man. "Spooder Wars 3 Something Something EFAP Meme New 52" extrapolated further by showing MauLer summoning the Rhino and joining into a Tobey Maguire mech to re-kill Spooder-Man.

## Fiction Becomes Reality

"Spooder Wars! Final Wars!" shook the fabric of reality by revealing that Shadiversity had died after a lengthy battle against Spooder-Man. This would have been presumed to be non-canon, until Shad confirmed that he had in fact died on EFAP 53. "The End of Spooder Wars" further deals with the aftermath of Shad's (now canon) death, before delving into speculative fiction about the then-upcoming release of *The Rise of Skywalker*. Shad's (also canon) resurrection was also chronicled in "Return of the Fuckin Spooder Wars," bringing the flow of information full circle.

## Crashing The Stream

The Spooder Wars also impacted the main EFAP Continuity in a different way, when it became the first meme video to get EFAP taken down midstream for copyright reasons, during EFAP 52. This led to a future precedent of showing meme videos in dedicated pre-recorded EFAPs to avoid this.
