A loved one dying to motivate the superhero is a pretty lame and lazy trope, and it makes the character who dies just a plot device. That’s what Uncle Ben is: a plot device. On top of that, Uncle Ben himself is lame. At least with a love interest dying, it makes sense to want to avenge them and become a superhero to honor that person. If my friend, best friend, or uncle were to be murdered and I had superpowers, I wouldn’t lift a finger to try to find the killer. That goes for a lot of superheroes. Even in a new superhero comic called Radiant Black, Radiant Black becomes Radiant Black because his male best friend dies. WHO GIVES A FUCK? I’m sorry—your best friend dying or getting murdered is not enough justification to become a superhero.
Jesus christ, OP over here telling on himself.

at least they’re being honest. that way we can tell them to seek therapy… right? there must be someone that’s cared enough to tell them that instead of just mirroring the same lack of sympathy back at them too
It seems OP has learned nothing from those posts …
