Isn't the reason Spider-Man has been so popular for all these years because he's flawed? Because he makes mistakes, yet takes responsibility for them and tries to make things right?

THANK YOU!!!

I can't for the life of me see how others gloss over this FACT.

Even in the comics origin story Peter only realizes his powers should be a force for good after his selfishness allows a crime to happen just because he didn't get his way. This unfortunate decision directly leads to his uncles death.

Before this happened the only practical use of his powers were invested in trying to cash in.

Peter is not a saint. He is a flawed teen like all others just trying to figure things out.
