As an eight year old I wanted to be Spider-Man, however I got older and reality set in, for these people I applaud them for chasing the dream. I want to watch this.
Reality never set in for me. It’s just… there wasn’t any crime to fight, unless you count walking drunk college girls home/to dorms after parties as “fighting crime”.
And my friends still call my late-night walks (even though I use a wheelchair half the time now) as “patrolling”.
I will watch this just so I can use my super-power of Cosmic Sarcasm. Did that old guy in the dress and combat helmet really say that he has super speed and healing powers? (Actually I had real super powers once but my therapist took them away…)
There are some local superheroes in my city, but they are a little more grounded than some of those ones they showed. By that I mean they realize they don’t have super powers, but are more costumed vigilantes like Nightwing.
