00:00The New York City becomes synonym for the place of the friendly Spider-Man and they
00:06get into this fan fiction and they make an alternative universe for themselves.
00:11You think of the man rushing to his job every morning hoping that money will take care of his
00:19inner hollowness. He is playing out the same Spider-Man script but in a less dramatic way.
00:25He's not doing all this. What is the Superman story? If you can have more material powers,
00:33then you are super. This man rushing to his job every day subscribes to exactly the same idea,
00:40just a lot less dramatic. The Superman series just make our absurdities very glaringly visible.
00:52Otherwise, we don't need an alternate universe. This universe of ours is already very absurd.
