Spider-man was never happy. Once he defeated villains, he was expected to defeat more villains, and he never had time to do what he wanted.
When I considered quitting music, I felt like Parker in Spider-Man 2, ditching the costume and becoming normal again, with normal responsibilities I could suddenly fulfill.
And then in Spider-Man 3, Parker becomes the arrogant hero he feared he would become, losing the girl in the process. It's the kind of moment in a film where you just can't watch his embarrassment and her heartbreak. It's something you can't stand.
Taking risks is only smart if you win, it seems. If you fail, you regret not staying in your comfort zone, and the one thing I fear and loathe most of all is regret.
