Discussion Two people who literally LOST EVERYTHING and STILL chose to do good..

Post image

There are countless characters that went through challenges, but none like them.

I will forever look up to these two individuals for what they have always done. No matter what they went through, they still chose the right path.

Thor has endured so much death and carnage, again and again, but at least he's always still had people who care about him. Peter was left utterly alone, with no support structure whatsoever.

Peter shut himself off for so long from having a support structure tho. Thor was always willing to accept people and their support. Spider-man always worked, his closest support ally was cop lady but he kept her at a distance. He only teamed up with Frank because he had no choice. Peter literally spoke to no one, and did nothing but hero work and lived in the attic.

Yes. Which is itself deeply tragic. May would have been heartbroken to know he was living like that - except that she wouldn't be, because if she were alive she would have forgotten Peter as well.

As I said in another reply, my comment wasn't meant to treat their suffering as a competition. I was trying to highlight that they've both endured profoundly painful hardships.
