Reason being that to Peter who is also Spider Man does not believe that giving Harry some of his blood is going to heal him. If Harry injects himself with the blood it might kill him ,or worst he might form a mutation, but to harry he views “spider-man” not giving him his blood as selfish. In Green’s book Moral Tribes he explains bias fairness as: one’s sense of fairness is easily tainted by self-interest(83). Humans usually want to be fair , but like the selfish beings, they are, will always lean to an idea which benefits them.To be fair is to think morally, but have a bias of fairness is to think selfishly and using this kind of thinking usually will lead to humans to not understanding the other's point of view” these unconsciously biased perceptions of fairness make it harder for otherwise reasonable people to reach agreements , often to determine both sides” (85). These issues of bias fairness appear in The amazing spider man 2 to Harry, spider man not giving him blood is a selfish action because now Harry will not have the benefit of being cured from his disease.

He wanted to be the hero and save the people of queens from death. He had nothing else to do with his powers. Police didn’t have the power to kill The Lizard and Spider-Man was the only one with the power needed to take down The Lizard. It took courage and bravery to do something that could get him killed. Knowing that you could be killed doing something is a frightening thought. Not many people will make life threatening situations. This theme is conveyed throughout the entire movie because Spider-Man needs to stop the The Lizard from killing more people or causing destruction to the world.

Ironman, Spider-man, and Batman are all extraordinary people who are deemed heroes. Everyday heroes like firefighters or police officers, and fictional heroes such as the ones listed before are illustrated as invincible and a moral example for individuals. However, neither of those characteristics apply to an epic hero. An epic hero is flawed, and because an epic hero possess this quality it is the reason why a person would relate more to him and connect with the written work rather than a superhero. An elementary example of an epic hero, is Odysseus the main character in Homer’s The Odyssey because he goes above and beyond the call of bravery and courage of any normal human being to give sanctuary to his men while trying to get home. The Odyssey divulges the journey home Odysseus must make after fighting in the Trojan War; Little does he know that his own hubris will cause this short trip from Troy to Ithaca, to prolong into a twenty year voyage. The characteristics he manifest while facing adversities, his guile, and his tenacious desire to get home to his family is what makes him an epic hero in literature.

A large part of any story, especially one with the quest archetype, is love. Since the first time he sees Mary-Jane at the age of six, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has loved her. At this time, Peter even asked his aunt: “Aunt May, Aunt May, is that an angel?” This truly displays how much Spider-Man adores Mary-Jane. In fact, Peter will do anything to help her. For example, near the beginning of the film, Peter saves Mary-Jane from slipping in the cafeteria. Because of his powerful love of Mary-Jane, Peter also faces consequences, though. His enemies, such as the Goblin Goblin, can manipulate him using Mary-Jane as a bribe, or ransom.

I think Don Giovanni is the villain in the opera, the murderer of Donna Anna's father, and the seducer who attempts to rape every woman. Don Giovanni downgrades his social status as a nobleman with his seductive acts. In the opera, Don Giovanni attempt to seduce Donna Ana and Zerlina and he also abandons Donna Elvira. Although some may argue that Don Giovanni is a hero because he was courageous to be true to himself, the truth of the matter is that he is a coward because real man repents for his sin and real man learns from his mistake. In the last scene, when the ghost enters Don Giovanni’s chamber, the overture foreshadows Don Giovanni’s death. At first, the music makes me feel like something horrible is coming up. Then the dynamic of the

The villain I would love to be for a day is Peter Quill's biological father, Ego from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.
