"Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Ode to a Superhero" tells the story of Spiderman as presented in the first movie (please see www.azlyrics.com). It's a good movie, and it's a good song. But what if....
"Peter Parker was pitiful,
he couldn't have been any shyer.
So Aunt May signed him up for group therapy;
Now his self-esteem couldn't be higher."
And really, that would be the song, the movie, and the entire story done. Because with more confidence, he wouldn't have been hiding behind his camera, so he wouldn't have been bitten by the mutated spider, so he wouldn't have become a web-slinger himself. And his uncle would probably still be alive.
I'm not sure if this serves as an argument FOR or AGAINST counselling...!
