        Yeah, make the little cockfart suffer, I say!

        EDIT: confession time - I squirm uncomfortably in the latest movies whenever Peter makes a stupid and completely preventable mistake, and the writers make him do it over and over again, like a narrative crutch to advance the plot, to the point that I find it irritating, because Peter seems to be learning nothing along the way.
        The Tobey Maguire ones did it best, I feel, kept a balance between honest mistakes of inexperience and us feeling sympathy for him.

      Have you read the comics? If not - Peter Parker is constantly traumatized by shit going horribly wrong or failing to account for something frequently. I’d say it’s a running gag but Stan Lee wanted a super hero people could connect with at a human level.
