I’m glad that Insomniac Games got it right. A lot of his strength comes from his resourcefulness, and his willing to push himself beyond the scope of his super powers to become something more. Spider-Man goes beyond your typical power fantasy. For some that means control in a period of their life when they have none, and as a kid in the middle of a messy divorce, all the wise-cracking Peter Parker had to do was cheer me up: but his creators did more than that. They can transcend boundaries and push art, and offer an element of escapism. Games and other forms of media aren’t just mere entertainment. I’m not going to go off on a tangent you’ve heard a million times about how Peter Parker is such an every man and easy to identify with: no, I’d rather share a personal story.
