The Amazing Spider-Man: 10 Things You Didn't Know

8. Marc Webb Was Really Against Using Famous "Great Power"

Many Spider-Man fans complained about the disappearance of the essential line spoken by Uncle Ben to Peter Parker, the iconic "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". Some claimed a Spider-Man film without it is not a Spider-Man film in itself. Marc Webb, the director, actually spoke upon this issue even before the film was released. He stated that we've heard the line so many times now that it remains in the subtext of the film, especially during Uncle Ben's speech before his tragic death. Using it would have drained the film of its naturalistic tendencies and he deduced that it was just not necessary. I for one, wholeheartedly agree.
