the initial monologue removes all guilt for any actions parker has up to uncle ben's death.[/qute]
How?
The same goes for getting screwed over by the ring announcer. Parker didn't mess up because of circumstances, he's not a victim of wrong place/wrong time, he messes up because HE MESSED up.
you give peter parker a scapegoat to behave the way he did initially and you completely hinder his character arc from, powerless geek to super jock to humble guilt ridden hero.
you like him for trying to raise money for a girl, you find his jokes and acrobats funny and sweet, we cheer for him, we miss out how he underminds his aunt and uncle.
raimi made spidey a victim rather than culprit. You do that and you lose the heavy lesson of 'great power, great responsibility'. That's becase most people after watching would still screw over folks for money and allow bad things to happen to those who have wronged them.
And those people would be wrong to do that.
Just because the promoter cheats him doesn't give Peter an out at all. He decides, because it benefits him, that an armed robber could still run around New York doing what he wanted. And that's the only thing in Spider-Man's origin that you have to get right, that he put's himself above everybody else.
and while he does leave mj by the end of the first film, the second film undoes it all and you see he doesn't really believe or understand the choices he's made. To the fact that he renounces Uncle Ben. the guy that he thinks he kills for in part 3 gets face palmed in the second film, unbelievable. Especially since he knows what happened the last time he walked out of a car with uncle ben...
all for a bit of totty...
He doesn't renounce Uncle Ben, he renounces his responsiblity. There's a big difference. If he had of renounced Uncle Ben they wouldn't have had him visit his grave and then spill his guts to Aunt May. The metaphoar behind Spidey 2 is that of college kids who move out on their own. They think that they have decided to accept the responsiblity of adulthood but haven't. Instead of studying or getting a good job, they drink themselves senseless. Peter throws his costume out, not Uncle Ben.
And he actually reject MJ again in Spidey 2. When he decides to become Spider-Man again he tells her that he can't be there for her and even lies above loving her. Then when she finds out who he is, he tells her again that they can never be together.
She decides that she is willing to take on the responiblity of being the girlfriend of Spider-Man.
