No, that’s not the Spidey i fell in love with or want.
It’s funny but Spidey’s always offered me something I can relate to.
I got different things from the same stories depending on where I was in life.
As a kid it was pure escapism, pretty colors, cool villains etc. A few years later it was the less than ideal home life, the missing father figure, the cash problems, the shitty school environment; all things he didn’t run away from, but didn’t always triumph over either.
Then there was the balancing of work and personal life, the romantic entanglements (because for as many hot women as he’s gotten with, those women have always been a source of drama and heartache for this guy), the just plain growing up. Eventually there was marriage and all the great and not so great stuff that comes w. it.
I mean, i like Wolverine, and Tony Stark, and Cap etc. but, I’m not the best at everything I do, or a handsome self made genius, or a role model.
I’m a guy who’s always just tried his best to do the right thing and it hasn’t always worked out for me that’s okay.
