I always love how Peter Parker is the only hero that can walk away from the hero gig. He’s aware that he’s not the end all be all against evil. He’s just like anyone else and knows he has no right think he’s above others. He just decides to help others. That what makes him a great hero

Peter Parker has endured quite a lot as a character: aside from relating with the average " everyman" he just can't seem to catch a break. While we the reader imagine ourselves as a fantastic hero, Spiderman show us that despite his powers...it isn't easy...and downright frustrating! So I'm glad stories like issue # 50, really makes us realize that everyone can make the right choice and do the right thing! Powers or no powers!

[@velocityrapture7047]

I hate when people say that they hate the fact that he quits in Spider-Man 2 because peter is supposed to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, first off he's not immune to psychological damage, his will is strong but it's not like Batman's or the green lantern's where their whole thing is willpower. Like Spider-Man quitting was in the comics so stop complaining, I've heard some people say this in another video

Scott. Thanks for another great video! I remember reading in the book, Origins of Marvel Comics by Stan Lee, he told his wife, Joan, that he was tired of writing Monster Comics. It was then told him that he needed to start taking pride in work. It was at this time that Martin Goodman told Stan Lee that he wanted him to create a new Superhero Team. It was at this point Stan and Jack Kirby created the Fantastic Four. But they would be different than other Superheroes. Despite their powers, they would have problems just like other people!

Hey Scott! Watching this episode I was reminded of Peter Singer's essay "Rich and Poor". This essay explores if we have a moral responsibility to help people in need. I think it could be a very interesting way of analyzing Spider-Man's philosophy. If you haven't read the essay I really do recommend it. Lots of love and keep up the amazing and smart work you do!

When you said he seemed to be having fun nowadays, it felt off to me because I was thinking about the fact that he died. I completely forgot that he was getting screwed over left and right just before that. Thinking about him dealing with these issues before his demise is...kinda sad really.

Poetic

[@yaboiakira929]

i always was fascinated by the fact of how much RELATEABLE Spider Man life,actions,thinking and everyday personality were to every single person and how he strives for better and not Best really one of the reasons why he IS my all time favorite hero , and no surprising after all he is ( in some way) like an incarnation of Stanley Martin Lieber.

[@steveno3141]

Years later Stanley would be indicated with a letter from a soldier we should just go on to change Flash Thompson, the letter from a soldier who mentioned that it was the spiderman comics that inspired him to help others. Thus validating both Stan Lee and comics.

Peter’s defining characteristic that makes him an interesting hero isn’t his youth or positivity. It’s his conflicts in life, bad luck and internal struggles that make him want to quit (which makes him relatable) yet he still continues being a hero because of the ideals he learned from his original failures.

[@clarisacalderon9555]

Your analysis first made me think 'its just a theory' but over all its pretty sincere. I love the connection you made with Aunt May and Joan, Stan's wife. interesting trend with wives kicking their husbands into gear. Disney's wife stopped him from naming mickey, Mortimer. Marston the creator of wonder woman was told to make the hero a girl by his wife. and Stan's gave him the best pep talk to keep trying. XD I also loved Joan being blunt that Stan is the most handsome.(I wonder what her thoughts were on his scandalous photo affair with a hulk comic and the most boring couch I've ever seen) XD Its also fascinating to me because in the end even when Spider-Man quit and actually went through with it, Peter still returned in the end like it was inevitable(even if it is a deliberate choice). Which implies that even if Lee had stopped writing comic books and enjoyed just doing regular other stuff, in the end Lee would has still ended up going back to comic books. helping the one uncle ben or comic book reader who could benefit from the comic. :) (I am glad you gave a shout out to Lee's troubles when you did) I totally laughed at your 'never be productive again joke' X'D

I wanna thank you for making this when you did. I'm a real life Superhero in Portland Oregon. I got rotten luck and typically go unappreciated. I give away clothes, food, money to homeless and poor. I also report stuff to the police and between that and my job in retail I have become really busy barely having time for family and friends. I originally had started because my irresponsibility lead to my parents divorce and my grandpa's death. Even if I wasn't directly responsible I still blame myself. Recently my cat got diagnosed with stomach cancer. She's been my little girl for 17 years. Not only has she never been my pet, but I think of her as my daughter. I've cleaned up after her, fed her, dressed her. There isn't more I could have done if she was biological. I wasn't raised to show affection so she's the only thing I ever truly knew how to love. I genuinely don't know how to deal with the emotions of losing her. Today I was feeling really depressed. I was thinking of quitting everything in life. But I remember this video. I remembered the lives I saved and helped. I remember the promise to my Grandpa. So thank you for reminding me. Because as an INFP I can get really lost my my feelings.

It's funny, because that was actually the reason they gave as to why Superman couldn't throw the book at him in an old Spider-Man crossover. According to that book, the laws of Latveria protect Doom no matter what and he faces no repercussions to his actions (even though most of his actions would lead to a number of U.N. resolutions and possible involvement with foreign armies and intelligence divisions). Also, I think Secret War (2004-2005) could provide at least some basic insights on Latveria and 616's procedures in dealing with it by the global community.
