Eddie Possehl is a dynamic and driven writer/director with a passion for the written word and all things film, television, comics, and games.
The Sam RaimiSpider-Man trilogy is hailed as one of the best superhero movie trilogies of all time. After all, they have incredible action set pieces, great performances and incredible directing. However, arguably the greatest thing about the films is the exceptional writing. The dialogue in the three films is instantly memorable, inspirational, and quite moving, to the point of being poetic at times.
While it may be a tad sentimental, it's an incredibly inspiring moment that directly goes against Green Goblin's claims earlier in the film, bringing his quote full circle. This moment was also incredibly inspiring to audiences everywhere upon release, as it aired only a year after the attacks on New York on September 11th. Getting to see a group of New Yorkers banding together as a unified group doing the right thing was very impactful for those in the USA at the time.
This quote perfectly describes Peter's internal conflict throughout Spider-Man 2. Peter's plight and words to himself are incredibly relatable to many, as he wonders if he even deserves the things he wants and needs in life. After all, life isn't fair, and it never will be. Sometimes, things don't work out for people, and how they keep moving forward afterward helps define their character, as Peter eventually learns, even if it's a lesson that brings him great pain.
After a brutal battle in the subway with Sandman, Spider-Man believes he killed the villain. He visits Aunt May to tell her the news, hoping she will be happy about them, but May is more concerned and put back by the fact that Spider-Man killed a man. When Peter questions her negative reaction, she hits Peter with this quote, which serves as the antithesis to what the symbiote represents in the film.
The words of the Green Goblin are a common conflict within most Spider-Man stories. Most of the time, no matter how hard he tries, the people don't appreciate all he does for New York. But that helps define Spider-Man as a character; how he reacts to such negativity, continuing to save the day, is what makes Spider-Man such a likable hero. It goes to prove exactly why Green Goblin and Spider-Man are so different, eternally locked in a battle of wills.
2 "I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride." Aunt May - 'Spider-Man 2' At the low point of Spider-Man 2, when Peter feels lost and at his lowest, he visits his sweet Aunt May for some guidance. During their chat, her young neighbor, who's helping her pack her things, asks Peter about Spider-Man's return.
