"With great power comes great responsibility."

.....what a powerful line.  This is one of the most memorable lines for myself from any movie.  The story of Spiderman unravels and the fans can take away many positive attributes that can be applicable in daily life.  This quote plays off of the idea that those in society who have the ability and resources to help, should feel obligated to perform above a bare minimum level.  By doing this, we can all be like Spiderman. Helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, whether it be poverty or materialism, there is always someone who needs a helping hand.  Those of us with the will-power and the means to do so, need too in order to maintain societal progress.  From this story we can also learn how to handle criticism.  Spiderman is under constant scrutiny for his actions, as are all of us.  But newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson is constantly criticizing our webbed' icon.  Peter Parker stays his course, and continues to do what is necessary in order to protect the unfortunate.  This is because he knew that doing so was the right thing to do.  A lot of times in life people are met with obstacles in attempts of doing what is right.  Although in situations like these, we all must stay the course, as Peter does, in our attempts to benefit society.

Until Next Time....... STAY "MARVEL-US."
