He goes "on patrol" almost like he's a cop or (dare I say it) Batman. Yes, Spider-Man looking for a crook to catch or someone to rescue is him being responsible with his powers, but it can get a little tiresome and also make Peter Parker less interesting. While these are just comic books and if we have Spider-Man take his power and responsbility too seriously, we edge into Miracleman territory (as someone said on another blog) or Daredevil establishing himself as "the new Kingpin."

Neat.' at this point. The Marvel Romance books were nice but they were their own little stories over there while the big plot engine of one problem after another was still rolling along. There's dramatic licence and there's just COME ON! I’d settle for ‘Hey, I found a quarter! Neat.’ at this point.

Thank you. Marvel could at least depict Peter just going out and web-swinging and climbing walls for stress relief, because it's been established he finds that enjoyable. Exactly. Thank you.
