The problem is that there is no giant psychic space spider, but in fact a human pretending to write from the pov of a giant psychic space spider. Empathy only carries you so far before your own biases and cognitive distortions start to have an effect again.
There isn’t a right or wrong answer. It may also simply be that Sandlers character should focus on family. But maybe the answer would have been different for a different character
I think that inside the fictional setting of the movie there is a chance that the spider was real, and there are several clues that support this argument:
The toilet making sounds at night was due to the spider turning the valve. The camera malfunctions could also be explained by the spider.
It pinned Adam Sandler to a wall.
Adam Sandler was told that the space cloud was the beginning of everything before he had actually observed it, and later it was observed to contain the information of every event since the dawn of time.
Adam Sandler was somehow magically transported through the cloud to appear directly in front of the South Korean vessel, an astronomically low probability.
So while it's possible that he had simply gone insane from the very beginning, and that the spider was a halucination, it's actually kind of unlikely.
Oh you misunderstood my post—I meant that the writer could only write what they know, i.e. something from the perspective of a human
