In the weeks before a major superhero film's release, a single offhand remark and a carefully chosen gown have become the unlikely vessels for collective anticipation. Zendaya, promoting Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Spain, advised fans to bring tissues — and the internet, ever hungry for meaning, transformed her black floral dress into a symbolic text. Whether intentional or not, the moment illuminates something enduring about storytelling in the digital age: audiences no longer wait for the film to begin reading it.
