00:00I'm a diehard fan of Spider-Man. I mean, I'm not the only one because out of the top 10
00:05most
00:06grossing films in the world, top 7 is some superhero film, like be it MCU, Marvel Comic
00:12Universe or Star Wars films. So, why so many people get fascinated by superhero films like
00:20Spider-Man? Unlimited physical powers. I want to believe in it. I'm unhappy because I'm limited.
00:28I can bash up all the baddies out there. In style. And in style, yes. And I can seduce the
00:36loveliest girl out there. And I look at my own tummy and my own barren surfaces. And I know that
00:45I have kind of lost the game. And I attribute my inner misery to outer physical reasons.
00:54If I had supernatural powers, I could go and rob a bank as well and have all the money I
01:02want.
01:02I crave. I long. In fact, I'm desperate to somehow slip into another more charming, more alluring
01:13personality, more powerful persona. And that dream comes true on the theater screen. Why will I not
01:25enjoy that? And that will mean the end of all my miseries. My miseries were not because I
01:33lacked in love or honesty. Actually, I was miserable all my life because I couldn't do this and fly.
01:40All I need is some superpowers. Yeah, superpowers. Or a superdress. The Iron Man kind.
01:51Wear it and fly and beat up the baddies. We do not want to look at the real reasons behind
01:58our
01:59psychological suffering, our inner deprivation. So we weave pretty stories. Stories in which we stand
02:09as decent victims.
