Chapter 109: Failed Man
In jurisprudence, there is a classic case full of controversy, the famous trolley problem.
A madman has tied five innocent people to the tram tracks. An out-of-control tram is heading towards them and is about to run them over. Fortunately, you can pull a lever to make the tram move to another track.
However, the problem is that the madman also tied a person to the other tram track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?
Peter Parker in Marvel's Spider-Man encountered this problem, but it was slightly different.
On the track that the tram is about to run over are strangers from all over the city, and on the other track is Aunt Mei, who depends on him for everything.
Peter Parker could ignore the trolley and rescue Aunt May directly, but at the same time his sense of responsibility would not allow him to watch strangers all over the city die.
So, at the end of this difficult problem, Peter Parker chose big love over little love.
In order to save strangers across the city, he watched his Aunt May die in front of his own eyes.
To be honest, Xia Yu has never understood this matter. If it were him, he would definitely save his relatives who depended on him first without even thinking about it.
What does the life and death of other strangers have to do with him? He tried his best and put in all his efforts, but he couldn't even save his closest relatives. So why did he try so hard?
He can be kind, but this kindness will never be based on the death of his loved ones.
Perhaps this is the charm of Spider-Man, he has always practiced Uncle Ben's words.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Spider-Man may be really stupid, but he also really shoulders a lot of responsibilities that do not belong to him, and has been working hard for the city he loves.
Xia Yu knows that he can never become a person like Peter Parker, but that doesn't stop him from admiring and liking such people.
Of course, liking Spider-Man does not prevent him from thinking that Spider-Man is a failed man, and Marvel's Spider-Man is indeed worthy of this title.
He is 23 years old, but still a pauper. He even owes the rent for his apartment and the landlord has to urge him to pay. Spider-Man is really poor by his own ability.
"By the way, where is the failed man now? Where is the plot now?"
Xia Yu stood on the top of the building, looking at Jonah James' chattering mouth, recalling the plot of Marvel's Spider-Man.
During this time period, Peter Parker has resigned as a reporter and devoted himself to scientific research. The scientist he assisted and respected was Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius, also known as Doctor Octopus.
Of course, at this time Otto had not yet become Doctor Octopus, but compared to Dr. Otto in the movie, this Dr. Otto encountered the crisis that every middle-aged man would encounter: he was bald.
He went from Dr. Otto to Dr. Ottobal.
However, Dr. Otto in this world is not as paranoid as Dr. Otto in the movie world. After he turned evil, he even let Spider-Man go again and again.
Even his dark transformation was caused by the mechanical tentacles eroding him bit by bit. Initially, his relationship with Peter Parker could be said to be that of a mentor and friend, and they worked together for humanity .
But to be honest, Otto's transformation into Doctor Octopus and the mechanical tentacles account for three points, and the remaining seven points are Norman Osborn's fault.
Originally, Dr. Otto and Peter Parker were quietly researching mechanical prosthetics that could help the disabled, but Norman Osborn suddenly showed up. He first moved away all the technological equipment in Dr. Otto's laboratory on the grounds that Dr. Otto had violated safety regulations, and then, in his capacity as mayor stopped Dr. Otto's government aid funds, leaving him without research funds.
At the same time, in this world, the Osborn Group was jointly founded by Norman and Otto, but Norman later squeezed Otto out of the company's decision-making level and directly took over the Osborn Group for himself.
Although Norman Osborn did not turn into the Green Goblin later, most of the villains in Marvel's Spider-Man are related to him.
Norman Osborn can be called the biggest troublemaker. If Osborn is killed in advance, Spider-Man’s enemies will be reduced by half.
"It's a pity that we are running out of time."
Thinking back to this, Xia Yu sighed regretfully. It would be useless even if he killed Norman Osborn now. At most, there was only the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, but the other villains had already existed.
Classic characters like the Thrillist, Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, and Electro have already appeared, as well as a new villain Mr. Negative, also known as Mr. Negative.
Mr. Negative is also Norman Osborn's fault. The appearance of Mr. Negative is due to a human experiment conducted by Norman Osborn.
"Tsk, Norman Osborn can replace Tokiomi." Xia Yu pouted and complained.
In the future, if two unfamiliar villains want to cooperate and say to each other that it is all Norman's fault, I believe the trust between them will definitely soar.
"Forget it, let's see where the plot of this world is going."
After sorting out the plot in his mind, Xia Yu took out his mobile phone, connected to the Internet and began searching for the latest news.
Of course, when searching for news, the first choice is the Daily Bugle. Coincidentally, the MJ in this world, that is, Mary Jane Watson, is a reporter for the Daily Bugle.
Just like Mary Jane in the Ultimate Spider-Man animation, she is a reporter.
"It seems that we have passed the early stage of the plot." Xia Yu muttered to himself as he looked at the news he searched on his mobile phone.
The biggest news during this period was that Mayor Norman Osborn was attacked by a bomb and police officer Davis was killed.
This part of the plot happened to appear in the game, and the one who attacked Norman Osborn was Mr. Negative, Martin Lee.
The deceased police officer Davis was no unknown person either. He was Miles' father.
That’s right, the little black spider Miles also exists in this world. In the last easter egg of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Miles revealed the changes in his body to Peter Parker.
Miles is the second generation Spider-Man, a little black, but this has nothing to do with zzzq, because Miles appeared before zzzq became rampant.
Moreover, the character of Miles is also very well portrayed. He took over Peter Parker's Spider-Man responsibilities and became the new Spider-Man.
"Tsk, every Spider-Man will lose his loved ones and elders. I don't know if this can be considered a curse for Spider-Man."
Looking at the news about the death of the little black spider Miles's father, Xia Yu complained and turned off his phone.
By browsing the news on the Daily Bugle website, he roughly determined the current plot time.
Mr. Negative has not been arrested, Dr. Otto has not yet started to turn evil, and those classic villains are all being locked up.
Well... since the story has just begun, he might be able to change the subsequent tragedy.
When he saw Aunt May die in front of Peter Parker, he almost shed tears. Peter's awareness and the powerless side of the hero were perfectly displayed.
In comparison, Aunt May's death in "Spider-Man: No Homecoming" was so inexplicable that it even made people want to laugh.
Since he has the power to change the tragedy, he naturally will not remain indifferent. Peter Parker has been miserable enough.
Well... Dr. Otto's transformation to the dark side can be considered the second tragedy, but forget about his downfall.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu expanded his spiritual perception.
