I have a confession to make: I find Spider man boring. Yeah, I said it. Oh, I watched the cartoon when I was little; I went to see the Raimi films despite their flaws, because the casting made it worth it. The thing is though, I don't find the character or his adventures particularly compelling. I mean yes, the "With great power comes great responsibility" concept is an important one, but Spiderman's story just doesn't have that much to offer me besides that, all things considered. He feels like a relic of another era to me, a throwback to the nineteen fifties, when there are so many more interesting and dynamic stories to be told about other characters. I can't imagine spending money on the comics, and everything I've heard and seen about the reboot make me want nothing to do with it.
