Peter Parker's decisions make no sense


So Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man when a radioactive spider bites him.

Do spiders often bite people? How rare is this occurrence, I mean.. the odds must be pretty odd.

In any case, so Peter being a bit of a science nerd, wouldn't he be curious as to how all this works, why it worked the way it did and so on?

Wouldn't he perform actual experiments with radiation and spiders until he figures exactly how it all works, so he can basically produce a healing superpower serum that can be used to heal people, make them stronger and healthier and so on?

From that, it should then be easy to extract some kind of components (at least with enough research, perhaps together with Reed Richards, who would probably be interested in stuff like this, as he WAS interested in studying the 'black spidersuit creature' that eventually became Venom, although it's probably not explained the same way in the movies as the Secret Wars has never been made into a movie as far as I know)..

..to create a more compartmentalized 'desired effect' serums and so on.

What I mean is, you could have super strength-serum, a super health or healing serum, prolonged life serum and so on, without having to necessarily have a 'can walk on surfaces on walls even when wearing suit gloves' or spidey sense stuff (could be a separate injection or something).

Hospitals could then use these to heal patients and make them stronger and prolong human life and whatnot.

Instead, he just forgets the whole thing just so he can fight crime alone and take some photos so he can make chump change? WHAT?

If with great bite comes great responsibility, would he not have more responsibility for creating these serums to help humanity rather than just some petty crimefighting?

Imagine what could be done, if Peter, radioactivity, spiders of multiple kinds/breeds/specieses/whatever, Reed Richards AND Doctor Stephen Strange all were combined into a super research project that could use magic as well as science as well as Peter's spider strength and abilities..

IMAGINE what could be created to help humanity that way!

But I guess jumping from wall to wall with some web stuff, pretending to be a human spider is cool, too.

What? It doesn't make sense for me to talk about Spider-Man in a movie that's only Spider-Man adjacent?

It makes as much sense to make a movie that's ONLY Spider-Man Adjacent, supposedly features 'female versions of Spider-Man', but technically have almost NOTHING TO DO with Spider-Man!

Not to mention, the movie does NOT end up really featuring those females with spidey powers anyway, let's be honest here.

So I guess we're even..

BEWARE! Avortac4 is a troll trying to waste everyone's time with such idiotic comments. Look at his posts. He doesn't think anything in any film makes sense. His post may seem like it makes sense in the first sentence or two. But he always quickly wanders off into a completely idiotic idea, and then writes a wall of text that makes no sense. And his sole purpose is to waste your time, thinking he's cute for doing so. Don't feed the troll. If you write a comment, you're giving this troll EXACTLY what he wants. Don't comment after my comment.

The radioactive spider bite would have killed him. Either fast or slowly but he would not have gotten powers just death.
