Does Spidey Have A Marvel Problem:

\n

In this view, Peterā€™s internal question isnā€™t really about character development, itā€™s about Marvelā€™s own indecision regarding what their most beloved IP is supposed to be for them: a teen drama, a quip machine for merchandising, an Avengers-tier power player, or a street-level responsibility advocate. The executives canā€™t pick, so neither can Peter.

āœļø In connection with my running list of phenomena that need words made, I am making a list of words that I wish to coin. Here is the first, for your consideration:

\n
\n

Actualstance: grounded in what has actually occurred, rather than in speculation, impression, or performance; the stance that arises from verifiable experience and concrete reality.
\nEx: Although Nora was a writer of fiction, the bones of her stories were always rooted in actualstanceā€” details, anecdotes, and ironies lifted directly from her real-life experience.

šŸ’¬ From my current read, Pere Goriot:

\n
\n

ā€œMy life, my own life, is all in my daughters. I donā€™t feel cold if they are warm. I never feel sad if they are laughing. My only sorrows are theirs. When you become a father and say to yourself, as you hear your children babbling: ā€œThats my doing!ā€, when you feel these little creatures attached to you by every drop of your blood (for they were its finest flower, and thats the truth!) you will think that their skin is an inseparable part of you, your body will seem to respond to their movements. There voice speaks to me wherever I am.ā€

\n
\n

Beautiful so far.

Fifth Elementā€” one of the best sci-fi films to ever hit theaters. Comedy, action, and a deceptively convincing plot, this movie was formative for me. Bruce Willis being unparalleled as a leading man. One of Chris Tuckerā€™s greatest roles, if not his greatest.

Lost Boysā€” a dark yet stylish coming of age tale about vampires living in Santa Monica. If not for the sincerity of the cast, this movie wouldā€™ve flopped. There are some of the best one liners of all time in this film that could only be pulled off...

This may be the best near opening to a book I have read in a long time:

\n

ā€œAfter reading about the secret misfortunes of Pere Goriot, you will eat your dinner with relish, blaming the author for your insensibility, charging him with exaggeration, accusing him of poetic license, but let me tell you, this drama is not fiction or romance. All is true. So true that everyone can recognize its elements in his own circle, perhaps in his own heart.ā€
