"Spider-Boy, what do you think you're doing? Fighting criminals? Do you really believe you're everyone's so-called 'good neighbor'?"
The Green Goblin gestured toward the people below. "Look at them! You think I'm crazy? No, no—they are. Your so-called crime-fighting won't make them love you. To them, you're nothing but a novelty—a spider clown."
"Even if you stop me, they'll still blame you for the damage I caused. Sure, people in the city might be grateful to you for a while. They might enjoy having heroes around, but what they truly love is seeing those heroes beaten down, again and again. No matter what you do for them, in the end, they'll resent you. Why bother?"
The Green Goblin's voice was filled with madness, yet his words struck at truths that Spider-Man already understood all too well.
Spider-Man genuinely wanted to help fight crime, but he was painfully aware of human nature's dual sides—its ugliness and brilliance. For every person who liked him, there would be another who despised him, even among those he had saved. Some who lost loved ones blamed him for not arriving sooner, or resented the collateral damage from his fights.
In his efforts to save lives and stop robberies, sometimes more harm was caused. Some even saw him as a delusional man in a costume, getting involved where he wasn't wanted.
Leon, watching from below, observed the core of the issue. "His power isn't enough for him to control the situation completely—he's only able to do so much."
