Spider-Man recite poetry

The high society banquet in New York is filled with splendor, and Peter, serving as a photographer, blends in awkwardly.

As the male and female protagonists of the banquet make their entrance, other guests applaud with smiles. However, Peter Parker's gaze is vacant, and he appears forlorn. If a photo were taken at this moment, the background and others would be in color, with the astronaut and Mary Jane as the main characters, while our Peter is in black and white.

Watching Peter's gloomy eyes in the lens, some female fans outside the screen can't bear it and exclaim, "Oh my, poor Peter, such a pitiful child. I really want to hold him in my arms and comfort him."

"I just want to tell Peter, don't be sad for that woman. She's not worth your efforts. If it were me, I would love you well and only love you."

"So tragic, haven't seen such a pitiful superhero. Being Spider-Man is really not easy. He hasn't gained any benefits from this identity, be it love, family, or friendship. Well, at least he still has friendship..."

In the eternal space, Commissioner Gordon also looks at Peter with sympathy, "Kid, it's evident that you've had a hard time, and precisely because of this, what you've done for New York deserves respect."

Bruce Wayne nods, "In this situation, Peter, you're really good."

Arthur empathizes with Peter's lonely situation, "I understand you, Peter. This feeling of being completely abandoned by the world is too terrible."

"Well..."

Peter scratches his head, "Thank you, thank you all for your comfort. I'm fine. Compared to me in the normal timeline, my life now is much better. Uncle Ben and Aunt May are safe, and I'm also dating Mary Jane... It's just that I don't know what to do with Harry."

Although he says this, seeing his future situation in the video, Peter is undoubtedly deeply moved. At this moment, he is grateful for the existence of the Quiz game, which has changed his future. Otherwise, thinking about it is quite tragic.

Outside the video, Peter feels quite lucky to have survived the disaster, but in the video, the tragedy of his life has just begun.

Peter, lost and melancholic, naturally can't stay at the lively banquet. He comes out for some fresh air and happens to see Mary Jane in a glamorous dress. He gathers courage and approaches her.

Firstly, he apologizes for missing the day they were supposed to see Mary Jane's play. It wasn't intentional; as a superhero, he couldn't ignore criminal activities.

But Mary Jane is unaware of Peter's difficulties. She shakes her head and rejects the apology, "I don't want to know you anymore. I can't keep thinking about you; it's too painful."

In the video, Peter bites his lips nervously and quickly says, "I've been reading poetry lately."

This is a dating technique he learned from Dr. Otto Octavius before he became Doctor Octopus. Dr. Octavius insisted that this was the trick that successfully won his beloved wife. However, Mary Jane doesn't seem impressed, "Do whatever you want."

Peter Parker has to read a poem with a forced smile, "Day after day, gazing at her, day after day, sighing for love..."

To be honest, Peter's recitation lacks finesse, but it's full of emotion, and the meaning of the poem fits his current state of mind perfectly.

Mary Jane, unintentionally, achieves a milestone: making Spider-Man recite poetry for her.

Outside the video, many Spider-Man fangirls are ecstatic, saying that if Peter is willing to recite poetry for them, they would be moved to the point of marrying him.

But Mary Jane remains unmoved and even interrupts Peter's poem impatiently, "Save it! Cut the nonsense!"

Seeing this, some viewers sympathize with Peter, thinking Mary Jane is a bit too much. Others believe that Spider-Man is a dating novice; it's the 21st century, and he shouldn't use such old-fashioned methods.

In reality, this method is not wrong; many seemingly outdated methods often work. The key is whether it's used in the right context and with the right person. Look at Dr. Otto Octavius and his wife – it worked because she was a literature-loving girl who understood and appreciated it. Mary Jane, on the other hand?

She graduated from high school, her family situation is chaotic, and her material conditions are not great. She is more practical, as evident from her choice of boyfriends – either the most popular in school or handsome and wealthy like the current astronaut. For a girl like her, making Peter recite poetry is not the most effective approach.

Moreover, Mary Jane doesn't demand high material comforts from Peter; she just wants his attention, especially after performing in a play. From her perspective in the video, Peter can't even provide this minimal companionship, making her quite sad. When Peter awkwardly suggests getting her a drink to ease the embarrassment, Mary Jane rejects him again, firmly stating, "No, I have my boyfriend John coming to serve me!"

Spider-Man is a bit sad, muttering, "John?"

Mary Jane tells him that John has watched her play five times. Harry, Aunt May, and her unpredictable father have all come to watch the play, but Peter, not even once!

After saying this, Mary Jane turns and leaves, leaving Peter stunned. He looks even more melancholic.

In the eternal space, Commissioner Gordon shakes his head, jokingly saying, "Kid, it seems you're not very good at chasing girls..."

Peter Parker is somewhat embarrassed and shy, "I'm learning. But now I'm getting along well with Mary Jane. She understands that sometimes I can't spare time for her because of being Spider-Man."

Bruce Wayne says in a deep voice, "This is the price one has to pay to become a superhero."

In the video, Peter is not doing well in love. Before he can recover, Harry finds him again, seemingly having had quite a bit to drink and appearing somewhat intoxicated.
