Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Spider-Man is still making money, even after 20 years. Fans still care, even if they don’t know why. The suit hides everything, but the box office doesn’t. Garfield says it’s mysterious, but he’s just repeating the script. The same story, different actor, same result.
Original observation: Spider-Man is just a costume that makes everyone feel like a hero, even if they’re just watching it on a screen.
