what is spiderman's motivation to fight bad guys? Batman, I can understand. He already got the coin and he's bored. What about spidey?

avenging his father's death
he already killed the guy who killed his uncle. why does he keep going?
Vengeance is like that. This is explained in Batman 3
>with great powers, comes great responsibilities
he feel it's his responsibility to fight bad guys since he has his powers
but you risk your life as well?
The whole point is, that he could have stopped the guy right then and there, but chose not to act. His uncle ended up dead. The point of the line "with great power comes great responsibility" initially was, that when Peter became strong, he could have beaten his bully... but after the death of Ben Parker, it's re-contextualized. The point is, that he should use his power proactively, for the benefit of others.
with great power comes great responsibility
What would you guys do with his powers? And don't say rape
it wouldnt be rape for long, at some point the girls would really like me i mean i would be super strong
would swing around to get to work faster
i'd show off for the public and be liked but then have some mental illness spiral where i overshare on social media and get a bunch of parasocially attached fans and also a dedicated group of haters and end up retiring to the wilderness in the appalachian mountains to escape it all
At the risk of sounding like a 40 year old boomer marketer that thinks selfies and dabbing is still hip, how come there aren't any streamer superheroes? You'd think a modern day super hero would be a big e-prostitute that posts all their busts on every social media site. Closest I can think of is Kamala who writes smutty fanfiction of her heroes.
Kamala and also Gwenpool

There is a thing called honor and duty. He knows he has powers others don't have, so he knows it's his mission to use them to protect them. Kinda like noblesse oblige.
>There is a thing called honor and duty
cringe
slack-jawed homosexual
only incels care about that shit
Did Ayn Rand ever give her opinion on Spider-man?
Because it's the right thing to do, you smalled-souled insect
Is there any super hero story with a mad lad that kills people that bullied him? If I got super powers, I would go around Europe killing every single GYPSY because of what they did to me when I was a child. I'm tired of this morally kant super heroes
He’s nice? Idk
He wants to protect his neighborhood because if you have the power to stop the bad guys and you don't, it's your fault when the bad things happen.
oh yea this is explored in spiderman 2 when he gives up being spiderman and feels guilty and even turns his back on that guy being beat up in an alleyway by 2 white dudes
It's also said verbatim by Tom Holland in one of the new spider-mans, I think 2.
The original story from AF15 is that Pete lets a guy robbing Vince McMahon's dad go and the butterfly effect of that leads to said robber going to Uncle Ben's house and killing him in a failed B&E. They letter expanded on this by saying that the house Ben and May owned used to be rented by the robber.
So Pete saves lives because he buys into some kind of idea of Catholic guilt/karmic destiny
His entire motivation for protecting the helpless, and fighting villians, can be summed up with the line 'with great power comes great responsibility'.
Because conveniently there's always some sort of superfreak showing up that only he can deal with so he trains in between freak appearances.
so did you not watch the movie or are you just stupid?
If you think about it, Spiderman and superheroes in general would probably have a very low impact on crime. In a city like New York, you'd pretty much be zipping from one crime to another back to back all night and probably get as much done as any beat cop would have.
That's why you're supposed to not think about it.
Oh yeah, and all for no pay too.
Kinda like Jannie’s. Wait a minute. I think the real question is why do Jannie’s do what they do?
Yeah. I don't think they pretend otherwise. It's just with Superheroes they're much more likely to be able to handle a situation without anyone else getting hurt.
Beat cops don't hospitalise or otherwise subdued 6-20 suspects a night, every night. And once someone makes a reputation for themselves it makes their enemies think twice. Crime would decrease significantly in proportion to Spiderman's actual operating capacity purely out of fear
would it work irl? i think you'd sooner have government put a task force for his capture rather than getting to this point. I'm also not sure an "average joe" with sudden superpowers would hold well for long with beating people every night, even if they're criminals.
IIRC Peter and his family are Catholics. By inference Peter Parker received his powers by the will of God and possesses a character fit to bear the burden and weather the violence without turning to evil
that's not how it worked for the entirety of catholic church, he'd sooner go and liberate jerusalem
What do you mean? Anyone endowed with power from Heaven (the Apostles) proved their character and resist evil until the very end (they were martyred), except one who died of old age in exile on a barren island (John of Patmos)
if you go that far into the larp then I guess, but consider divine right and deeds done in its name.
Divine right is power on earth permitted by Heaven. Spider-Mans power is more like power from Heaven sent down to earth
You'd have to be hauling fricking ass non stop to stop that many people, if it's even possible. Crimes are usually just one suspect, and can be miles apart from eachother, and can happening at the same time. Criminals already run a risk of being imprisoned, beat up, or even shot anyways and that doesn't stop them. Most criminals are low IQ Blacks who can't think more than 5 minutes ahead so consequences don't really matter.
I've never read the comics but surely Spiderman could just beat some low-level grunt and work his way up the ladder, gathering intelligence to ambush illegal deals and sabotage operations. He is a genius after all, he won't just swing around the city at his leisure if he has something better to do
J'yeah, I guess he'd be good against organized crime because he doesn't have to worry about all the restrictions of law enforcement. But Mobs make up a small percentage of violent crime. Even low level mobsters make too much money to mug people or rob convencience stores unless they're just a complete pyschopath and enjoy doing it which isn't unheard of.
So we agree, Spiderman should hospitalise 13% of the population
this is why superhero stories often focus on the deterrence aspect of heroism
Yeah and giving money to a homeless guy isn't going to make him not homeless.
Donating money to Africa isn't going fix their problems either.
Posting on forums and social media won't change people's minds either.
Might as well do nothing right?
>Batman, I can understand. He already got the coin and he's bored.
Go back
if you're educated on batman lore, you should rather head to reddit
He's Spider-Man.
His inaction led to his uncle (really his father figure) dying.
He had the power to stop him (safely) due to his superhuman abilities but didn't because the robber was robbing someone who fricked him over.
He felt guilty over this.
The last conversation with his uncle was about him doing the right thing as a man (and with his power), he interprets this as stopping crime.
Other than vanity or fame what else could you do with superhuman strength and reflexes? I guess he could be a supersoldier but be probably doesn't want to kill people.
His uncle died because he couldn't be bothered stopping a thief and that mindfricked him into being New York's biggest janny
with great spider comes great spidersponsibility.
How does Spidey cope with the fact that the vast majority of criminals he encounters are black?
Are you serious? His motivation is literally the most iconic line in superhero media.
