The 'depressing' card

The thing which online Marvel Spider-Man community is concerned about is how depressing the card is. The photo in the tweet reveals that it is a present for an uncle from his nephew. Now, in the context of  Spider-Man origin story, it is depressing when card caption says 'Heads Up, Uncle!' due to Ben Parker's death in a robbery gone wrong.

The death of Peter Parker's Uncle Ben became the main reason why he took up the mantle of Spider-Man. However, fans have been oversaturated with the reiterations of Uncle Ben's death in every new reboot of Spider-Man with Peter Parker as the protagonist. So much so, that it's become a meme amongst the internet fandom. It was thanks to this oversaturation that the recent films of Spider-Man have completely omitted the story of Ben Parker's death. So, it may not be understandable for kids as to what they should pick as cards and whatnot.
