Chapter 560: Chapter 529 The Greater the Ability, the Greater the Responsibility_1
This was the first time that Blue Star’s audience saw a superhero movie portrayed in a comedic style.
Under the influence of novelty, everyone in the theater was engrossed!
Long Yang was certain:
The audience loved the plot so far.
Spiderman was quirky and chatty, two qualities that were indeed endearing.
But was it somewhat superficial to base character development solely on light-hearted comedy?
Xian Yu, being able to think outside the box and use comedy as a wrapper for presenting an unconventional superhero, must have considered this, right?
Many comedies often conceal a sense of tragedy at their core…
As expected.
The following plot development was no longer pure joy and silliness.
At school.
Because he was provoked by a classmate, Peter used his power to give him a severe lesson.
The next day.

Peter’s uncle, an ordinary old man, had a deep conversation with Peter, mentioning the fight at school. He said solemnly to Peter, “Sometimes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.”
As you can imagine.
The conversation wasn’t pleasant, Peter thought his uncle was nagging. It was the other party who provoked him, teenagers in their puberty tend to be brash, especially when they have such great power.
The uncle helplessly said, “I am not your father…”
Peter retorted as if stung, “Then stop pretending you are!”
The uncle looked somewhat disheartened, “Okay…”
Peter wanted to retort, regretting his outburst, but he ultimately didn’t explain. In his heart, his uncle was no different from a father.
That night.
To vent his frustrations, Peter participated in an underground boxing match.
At home.
Seeing that Peter had not come back, the uncle thought about the unpleasant conversation during the day and couldn’t help worrying. He went directly out to look for Peter, who hadn’t come home so late.
Unquestionably.
Peter defeated all his opponents in the underground boxing match, but when Peter won the championship, he was tricked by the organizer—
The promotion said the winner would get a 50,000 yuan prize!
But the person responsible for the prize money made tons of excuses and only gave Spiderman 5,000 yuan.
Peter wanted to argue with him.
The person in charge pointed to the last sentence of the promotion, “All explanations are at the discretion of the organizer.”
This sentence was quite significant.
Some viewers showed expressions of anger.
Clearly.
Many people have encountered this situation in real life.
Peter wanted to punch him. If it was before, Peter would have done it without hesitation, but he clenched his fist and finally held back.
“The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility.”
His uncle’s words did affect him, after all, he didn’t misuse his power.
Just then.
A robber appeared and stole all the money from the person in charge.
The person in charge asked Peter for help, Peter hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to remain silent—
He thought the man had it coming.
After all, there was still some resentment that needed to be vented.
After leaving the underground boxing ring, Peter prepared to go home, but suddenly there were gunshots in the distance.
Instinctively, he ran towards them.
But when Peter saw the victim, he trembled!
His uncle had been shot dead!
“No, no, no, no…”
Peter was stunned, he held his uncle’s hand tightly.
The cold wind bit into his mouth, cutting like a blade, his tears fell silently.
“Peter…”
His uncle was already hanging by a thread when he saw Peter.
That hand, spotted with age, held Peter’s hand tightly, but finally fell limp.
The theater.
There was silence.
The laughter in the theater paused for the first time, this scene was heartbreaking, the film turned heavy for the first time.
“The killer is escaping down Fifth Avenue, request for police intercept…”
The police had already arrived, the walkie-talkie called out.
Peter took one last look at his uncle, then rushed towards Fifth Avenue.
He was out for revenge!
In this scene, without any dialogue, Peter became Spiderman, weaving through the city to finally catch the killer.
But…
When he saw the murderer’s face, it felt like his worldview was completely shattered!
“It’s that robber!”
Some in the audience suddenly gasped.
The man who killed his uncle was the robber from before—
The robber that Peter didn’t stop during the robbery!
Which means, his uncle’s death was directly linked to Peter. If only Peter had stopped the robber, this scene might not have happened.
This was too cruel for Peter!
Some in the audience couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache.
No one thought Spiderman was reckless, no one would dislike Spiderman for this, because anyone in the same situation would likely make a similar choice.
After all, Peter was just a kid.
Realization hit.
Spiderman broke down.
The police had arrived. Countless lights shone on Spiderman’s face, countless eyes were locked on him. The police warned Spiderman against any hasty actions, and the crowd’s murmuring voices merged into one…
“Die!”
In anger, Spiderman threw the murderer from the rooftop.
If the murderer hit the ground, he would undoubtedly die. Some onlookers couldn’t help but cover their eyes, but in the end, Spiderman shot out his webbing and caught the killer, not killing him outright.
He chose to handle the murderer as before, by leaving him to the law.
As for himself, he chose to wallow in immense grief.
With blood and tears, he swallowed the bitter fruit of his own making.
He didn’t even dare to tell his aunt the truth.
In front of the screen.
Long Yang had a solemn expression.
This part of the film was brilliantly done!
Peter was just an ordinary person who suddenly gained superpowers, with all the rebellion that comes with youth.
But such a person gaining superpowers was uncontrollable.
But his uncle’s death would be the catalyst for Spiderman’s growth.
Many truths can only be understood at a great cost, especially for the young.
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
If this line was bluntly told, it would make the film seem preachy, the audience wouldn’t buy it, they might even feel it’s moral blackmail, because it’s a bit too saintly.
But…
In a specific context, linking the cause and effect of the events, this line carries a myriad of meanings.
The audience couldn’t help but ponder.
The “power” here isn’t just power in a broad sense. It’s more akin to a shorter version of the phrase:
When poor, keep to yourself for good.
When rich, aid the world for better.
Spiderman chose to disappear.
He didn’t continue doing good deeds, but chose to be an ordinary student again. The internet was flooded with news about Spiderman, newspapers were filled with reports about him.
People had mixed opinions about this superhero.
The police were hunting Spiderman.
Although Spiderman was doing good deeds, he was beyond the law, and he once thought about killing the robber—
No one knew that the robber had killed Spiderman’s uncle.
Everyone had seen the video of Spiderman beating the robber. The Spiderman in that video was full of violence and destruction, which was a direct reason some people disliked Spiderman.
This was also a point worth pondering.
If in reality, an individual has the power not to be bound by the law, even if that person is doing good, would people like it, or would it cause more fear?
Meanwhile.
A new plot twist appeared.
A new villain appeared in the city, unprecedentedly powerful, his strength was not inferior to Spiderman’s.
The plot had hinted at this beforehand.
This villain was the chairman of a scientific research company. Due to his long-term research on weapons, he had lost his sanity and now possessed incredible destructive power.
He continuously engaged in criminal activities.
The power of the police couldn’t stop this villain.
Whether they liked it or not, people suddenly missed Spiderman. Perhaps only the disappeared Spiderman had the strength to defeat this villain…
“The pacing is good.”
Long Yang nodded.
He admitted that this design was more ingenious than his own film. The death of the uncle set up the emotions brilliantly, almost perfectly depicting Spiderman’s character growth!
On his right.
His son, Little Tiger, was looking at the big screen with anticipation.
Long Yang knew what his son was looking forward to.
Long Yang knew, not only was his son looking forward to it, all the audience were anticipating—
Spiderman’s comeback!
They yearned for Spiderman to rise again and return as a hero, to protect the city once more!
