I see what you mean and I love his jokes, espicially in SSM and the USM comic, but I just love the struggling, human side of him more. What makes me love Spider-Man the most is not that he makes light of things or that he stays positive in the midst of struggle, but that he holds steady, and gives up the things he wants the most to do what he believes in. And this SUCKS, but he never gives up. That's why I love Spider-man 2 so much. He DOES give up, but he learns that he will always be Spider-man and that with great power, there must also come great responsibility!
