* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Occurs when Spider-Man tricks Electro, a villain with electricity powers, into accidentally attacking Hydro-Man, a villain with water powers. The result is both of them getting defeated without Spidey having to land a single punch.



* TooDumbToLive: Electro, who has electricity powers, and Hydro-Man, who has water powers, attacking the riders together. Certainly nothing bad could result from this...

* PaddleballShot: Several scenes in the ride definitely go the extra mile with making use of the 3D effects. Examples include Scream's claws (and her face), Hydro-Man's hand, one of Doc Ock's tentacles, and one of Hobgoblin's pumpkin bombs.

Scream does appear later in the ride. When the riders are levitated up, she's with Hobgoblin when he attacks Spider-Man, and later in the same scene you can see Spidey fighting Scream on a rooftop, where he kicks her down. It's not easy to notice, but it's there.


* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Scream is seen attacking the riders once before Doc Oct pulls her away, she disappears for the rest of the ride and doesn't even join the villains in attacking Spider-man, she's then seen at the end wrapped up with the other villains with no explanation as to how she got caught.

* ItsAllAboutMe: JJJ shows zero concern over the guests' safety, caring only about being able to score some pictures of the devastation and maybe win a Pulitzer Prize.



* LackOfEmpathy: As previously mentioned, JJJ has no qualms about sending everyday people into a dangerous battle where they could easily get killed.

* AscendedExtra: Scream, a very minor symbiote character who was included because of the TheSmurfettePrinciple and because they likely wanted to save Venom and Carnage for another project. It can also be assumed that Venom or Carnage were not made a part of the Sinister Syndicate due to Venom being an AntiHero and Carnage not really being one to take orders along with having little interest in world domination.

-->'''J. Jonah Jameson''': Listen, my people are gone. Half have abandoned ship, and the others...probably trapped out there somewhere...cold, and hungry, and...'''NOT GETTING ME ANY GOOD PICTURES!'''

* FromBadToWorse: The Sinister Syndicate's attack on New York progressively escalates in scale, eventually leading to them stealing the Statue of Liberty and holding the entire city hostage. In the queue video, Peter Parker even says this trope word-for-word when explaining to JJJ why he doesn't have time to talk to him.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The queue line shows evidence that the entire Daily Bugle staff fled the building in response to the current threat, as all of the offices are completely empty, phone calls are left unanswered, and there's even a few half-eaten doughnuts laying on some desks. J. Jonah Jameson later confirms this implication when he mentions to Peter that, "You and your cowardly colleagues dropped off the face of the earth..."

** Some good in-ride examples would be making Spidey's eyes smaller and more realistic, putting tiny strings of electricity between the bolts of Electro's mask, and trading Doc Ock's body armor for a more contemporary (and [[Film/SpiderMan2 somewhat]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan referential]]) trenchcoat.
