    Spider-Man's power isn't that he can lift 10 tons, or crawl on walls, or swing around the skyscrapers. No, his power is his heart, filled with love. His power is that he can be anybody and everybody's friend. This right here is his power. This right here is Spider-Man, and this is why he is so important to so many people around the world. Not because he's the strongest because he's not. Not because he's the fastest because he's not. But because he's just that one friendly neighbor who quite frankly each and every one of us needed in our lives and maybe still do. And regardless of who you are, where you come from, how old you are, what you look like, what you like to do, he will be that friendly neighbor for you as well. Because that's just who he is. And we should all strive to be like him. This short film perfectly captured that. This was Spider-Man. As real as he can ever be. And this really is something he would do, and surely has done at some point in the comics, or tv shows or games. So next time someone asks you "Why do you love Spider-Man?" the answer is simple, and the answer is in this video. Because he cares. He really cares about everyone. Wonderful job on this short film. Truly wonderful.

    This is why I love Spider-Man, this is what he really means to me. An average guy who found himself with extraordinary powers trying his best to help people. He knows more than anyone how it feels to be another guy despite his powers, and he knows what it means to deal with loss more than most superheroes. This was a simple concept, but it got across all the things that makes Spider-Man one of the greatest superheroes of all time.

    Man, you guys get it. It's awesome to see a team that not only understands the character of spider-man but you also gave a tasteful representation of someone with mental health issues. I’ve been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and personally I can relate to a lot of what she was saying and feeling. I've been in similar situations myself and even this past week have gone to the hospital. I needed this. Spider-man is my favourite fictional character. I've looked up to him and been a die hard fan since birth. Seeing something like this, just a 1 on 1 convo between him and a citizen in need of a friend. That's spider-man. You got it, this to me is Peter Parker. Good job guys, loved it

    Despite Spider-Man: Lotus and all it's glossy camera work and budget, the script is mediocre and its depiction of Spider-Man is awful.
    But here, with a little budget and a decent Spidey costume, two actors and some camera and music, manages to capture the true soul of Spider-Man and why I love him, and why many others love him, and why he's the greatest superhero of all time.

Spider-Man didn't pop through my window and save me when I was in her place, but even though he's fictional he's been a big help. I'm glad I found this video.

It's not just some action packed fan film with Spider-Man, it shows the true representation of Spider-Man's character and motivation to keep going. He knows the pain she's going through. He lost his Uncle, and went through that due to his mistakes. It really shows that one person can help everyone. And it shows how Peter is really your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Good work!

    It was so great i cant believe that i didn't get this recommendation 5 years earlier, a 10 min short film about spider-man which shows that why he will always be the best hero and it show a nice little conversation can help a lot

    Really heartwarming man. Kudos, such an effective film. Really wish it was longer, but for what it is, it’s damn great ❤️💙🕸

    As I was looking at this short film I could see myself into that spider suit, I deal with this almost everyday.. my best friend is passing through a lot of stuff, and I have to be there for her, I use to tell her that her life is precious and special, and much more.. so.. if the person reading my message is dealing with depression, just know that you're awesome and I love you, your life isn't meaningless, don't mind people talking bad, use that negativity to make it into your success and prove them wrong.. 💖
