Saw Spiderman with Abby and some of her friends this afternoon. How much would it suck if Peter Parker lived in some suburban subdivision instead of the skyscraper canyons of Manhattan? I can’t imagine his spidey-powers would be nearly as useful if he could only web-swing from two-story colonial to two-story Georgian. Climbing walls wouldn’t do him much good, either. (Well, except maybe for roof maintenance purposes.)
