AMAZING #82 Review and Spoilers

[Frontier]

Peter's entire life is made of bizarre coincidences, a lot of people in real life may not even see a crime, much less be robbed, yet Spidey finds crime everytime he breathes.

It's a weird coincidence, but one that has long defined super-heroes in general lol.

Yes, but how many of those people actively go out on patrol to find/fight crime ?

Not many, but you'd at least have to patrol around areas known for having crimes, Spidey just travels around and by pure chance finds crime.

Gets even sillier when he goes away from new york, and one of his villains just happen to decide to leave new york too, and Spidey has to punch him in the face in another location lol.

It’s just one of those dumb things you have to accept in super hero comics, like the fact death doesn’t mean anything and radiation exposure is more likely to give you superpowers than cancer.

The thing about comics is that like, given the rate of world ending events, the number of supervillains, all the other miscellaneous weirdos from space/other universes/the center of the earth/some weird island full of dinosaurs/some weird island full of mutants/different times/alternate futures/different dimensions/metaphorical hell/literal hell/the sewer, statistically speaking there's gotta be a pretty high chance of some not-normal event occuring basically anywhere. And all this big deal weird stuff must provide a lot of cover for regular crime, likely leading to an increase because people think they can get away with it. Look at how just COVID has altered society and imagine what a never ending wave of villains and apocalypses would do. Pair that with the entropic passage of time, the repeated cycles of writers doing riffs on classic stories resulting in inescapable circles of stagnation. There's likely a lot of unworked through trauma among the citizens of comics worlds leading to lots of weird acting out.

A normal hospital stay in the Marvel universe is probably a less likely occurance. Especially given the frequency in which superheroes end up a hospitals and what prime targets hospitals are for writers who need cheap stakes.

I'm not trying to justify a plot contrivance or start a debate - I don't care about realism in comics. Just a fun thought the discussion provoked.
