re: Captain America: Civil War ***SPOILERS*** and Review Thread

What makes Spiderman work in the comics is, at least in part, that he jokes his way through situations where he's clearly scared. He's a joker right up until the point where he isn't and that point is when shite gets real.

All that aside, the Subway train scene in SM2 is a pretty perfect encapsulation of Spiderman as a hero: someone, who is capable of feats up there with just about anyone in the Marvel universe put who pulls his punches 99% of the time and jokes around while doing it. That 1% though (stopping the train) that's special and it's made even more special by contrast with the effortlessness with which he does normal hero stuff.
