With great power, comes great responsability!


Uncle Ben from Spiderman 2 said that and he was right. It applies to everything: President of United States (Obama!?) or a inmature teenager with anger issues and superpowers!

To quote this page from TV Tropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeconstructedTrope

"Really? That's inane. Most people in life don't have great power, and the few that do are almost never responsible with it. The people who have the greatest responsibility are the kids with no power because we're the ones that have to keep everyone in check."

I agree, to cerain extend.

One doesn't have to be a super hero. Especially at the sacrifice of other things that are important.

If I had the power, wouldn't want to be a goody superhero trying to save everybody and their cat. If I'm in the mood then might save a bunch of people. Its more about self gain ( in a smarter way of course) and enjoying life, without hurting the general population. Protect the ones I love and repay to those who were kind to me.
I think Jumper kinda got it right before he was discovered, okay robbing bank is a bit low. Getting money from criminals is much better and more fun.

Agree with the contention and this film plays up the

... immature teenager with anger issues ...
gaining super powers opposite side of the story, really quite well.🐭

Are you for real? You know Spiderman existed before it was a movie, yes? that's a caption from the first Spiderman comic in 1962 and it's actually a paraphrase of someone else's quote
